Inholder at Dover,
AI.S we are under the highest obli
gations for the goodness of the Su
preme Being, in giving this land to us
and to our forefathers, in upholding
our lives with a rich variety of his
bounty, in appointing his Son to lay a
foundation for our happiness, and in
bestowing numberless favors upon the
people of this State in the course of the
sass year ; it becomes us at the elofe of
it to render our joint tribute of adora
tion and praise to that great and con
stant Benefactor, who has daily loaded
us with benefits, and who pours com
forts upon all that live :
Therefore, with the advice and
consent of the Council; I appoint
THURSDAY the twenty-firth day of
November next, to be observed thro'-
'otit the Commonwealth as a Day of
Public Thankfeiving and Praise ; and
the Ministers and People of every de
nomination are requeued to assemble
on that day, in their refpedive places
of Public Worship, that we rnay de
voutly present to the Lord our Mak
er, the affectionate gratitude of our
hearts for all the goodness, which he
has caused to pass before us ; for the
flipport and accommodation of our
lives ; for the continuance of our cit
il and religious liberty ; for the unu
sual degree of health which He has
granted to us ; and for the means we
-possess of attaining and diffufing ufeful
knowledge. And that He has been
pleased to give us rain in due season,
and to cause the earth to yield her in
crease in abundance : that he has pros
pered our Commerce, Navigation and
Fisheries ; that He has given us peace
in our borders, and quiethefs and fafe
ty iri our dwellings ; and that He has
crowned the year with his goodness,
and caused our cup of blessings to run
over.
And while with grateful emotions
we contemplate the Scenes of prosperi
ty, let us humble ourselves before him
for our innumerable offences, and ear
nestly beseech him, that he Would for
give us, and make us still the objects
ofhis divine favor ; that with the boun
ties of nature he would grant us the
blessings of grace, and that he would
animate us to a temper and conduct,
which may correspond with the bene-,
fits we have received, and the felicity
after which we are encouraged to as
pire. That he would smile upon our
University, Colleges and Schools, and
succeed the means of religious and
moral inftrudion.
That he would direct and prosper the
Government of the United States, and
that the Prefdent, and all others who are.
employed in its important offices, may
difeharge their refpe&ive duties with
prudence, integrity, and patriotism.
That the Governments of the several
States may do all that is incumbent
Upon them, to preserve union, order
and tranquility ; and that the whole
people may duly estimate the advanta
ges by which they are diftingnifhed.
That he would retrain the rage of con
tending nations, and that the great e
vents which are taking place, may be
made fubferviefit to the triumph of the
Gospel, and the happiness of mankind ;
and that the period may arrive, when
violence and oppression shall cease, and
righteousness thall be eftabliffied in all
the earth ; when the different nations
of men shall be united in the bonds of
brotherly love , when every species of
falfe religion shall disappear, and the
earth shall be full of the knowledge of
the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
And the inhabitants of the State are
eameftly requeued to abstain from such
labor and recreation as are incontinent
with the solemnities of the said day.
Given at the Council Chamber in Bef
ton, this fifteenth da, of Oftober, in
the year of our Lord, one thousand
eight hundred and one, and in the
twenty sixth year of the Independence
of the United States of America.

A Proclamation,
PROCLAM.4 1 ION.
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
To both houses of the legislature
of the state of Connecticut.
Gentlemen of the Council,
Mr. Speaker, and Gent, of the H. of Representatives ,
HAVING no external correspon
dence of moment to communicate to
you, the internal rotirte of business will
principally occupy your attention dur
ing the prefect session.
The. Executive Business which was
committed to me by the last Legisla
ture, has been particularly attended to
and carefully performed.
A particular report refpe&ing the
situation of the 2d Company in the
10th Regiment of Militia, will be com
municated to the Legiflattire by a
special message.
The Militia being almost the only in
ternal defence of the Union, the well
ordering, arming, and equipping this
valuable body of men, within the sev
eral States, is an object in which we are
peculiarly interested. Matiy imper
fections, I fear, are permitted to exist
in the present arrangement ; and while
many deficiencies are experienced in
the uniformity of the final! arms, with
which our Soldiers furnifh themselves,
no public supply of Arms, belonging
to this State, can be resorted to, from
which this defed might be remedied,
in case any actual fetvice should unfor
tunately require it. A frequent atten
tion to this and other objeds which re
fped our present Militia system, is, in
my opinion of much moment ; so much
so, as to excite the solicitude of the Le
gislature to detife means, so far as re
gards this State, for perfecting, as
much as possible, this important eftab
lilhment of Defence.
Amidst the political agitations which
prevail in the United States at the pres
ent moment ; in consequence of which
men's minds are disturbed with ap
pearances sometimes doubtful, often
times difeouraging, whereby they be
come liable to be milled by the influ
ence of passion and prejudice, it is with
deep concern, that I too frequently hear,
from various quarters, intimations giv
en, expressing doubts of the continu
ance of the present Union of these
States. Reasons almost innumerable
suggest themselves to my consideration,
and will doubtless occur, on reflection,
to every candid and difpaflionace mind,
to repel with aversion, all hasty ideas
of this kind, so deftrudive of our pub
lic peace and harmony, and so adverle
to our social happiness and private pros
perity. Should any one hesitate in ac
cording to this feniiment, I would
point him to the observations on this
fubjeft made by our late venerable
Washington, in his sage and import
ant Address to the People of these Unit
ed States—a fubjeft on which he has
dilated with peculiar energy, and with
more than his wonted earnestness. And
in reading these impressive sentiments,
let every dispassionate man ask himfelt
these serious questions. Are not these
reasons for the unity of our Govern
ment, given by our departed Hero,
and ditinterefted Friend and Patriot,
irresistible ? and (hull I not fubferibe to
them with equal ardor and earnestness ?
and with fixed resolutions to exert my
utmost abilities in support of this im
portant and iriterefting object ? The
reply from every one, I presume, will
be prompt and affirmative. In addi
tion to the reasons suggested in this es
timable address. we may also confider,
that if one division of the Union is ad
mitted, it is not within the wisdom or
forefight of man to difeover, how nu
ny fubdivifrons the firft step of separa
tion may lead to ; each division and
subdivision increasing the spirit of dis
union and redleffnefs, until all Union,
Subordination, Peace, Tranquility and
Order are at an end, or funk in Anar
chy and Confufiort. Rather than in
dulge ourselves therefore, in passion
ate expressions of sentiment or referif
ment, on any perplexing occurrences
which present themselves in our polit
ical arrangements, should we no,t bet
ter cheiglh a hope, that by prudent re
ftri&ion and timely experience, disa
greeable citcumftanCes may be cor
rected, or difeouraging fears & doubts
may be dispelled ? Circumstances not
altogether conformable to our present
wiffies, are oftentimes productive of
the happiest events- -over-ruled by the

The prevailing notion that an im

plan must a printer pursue, to publish
an impartial paper ?—lt may be ans
