Our correspondent, "A Citizen," in reference to our Thanksgiving paragraph, should remember that there is no rule without exceptions. We have ascertained that there is an exception in the present case, which, however, appears to have been happily supplied, in part, by the ready interference of "A Citizen." If the public authorities were in error in this instance, we have nothing to extenuate in regard to them. They have abundant means, and it is certain that the poor seldom go empty away; but since even "the perfection of human reason" does not provide for every contingency without much reliance on human fallibility, occasional aberrations on imperfections should be overlooked—at least seven times, if not seventy times seven. We have some little provocations and peccadillos of our own to attend to, but as we recommend to others, so "the sun shall not go down upon our wrath."
