ses, have .slSnliied request, that day may
be recommended, to be observed by the Peo-
pie of tho United States, with religious So
lcmnity, as day OF public Huhiliation and

and the same time, their common vows and
alterations to Almighty God, on the solemn
occasion Produced by the war, in which he
has been pleased TO permit the injustice of Ia

rendering TO the Sovereign of tie Universe,
and the Benelactor OF mankind, the public
homage due TO his holy attributes I; of nc.

ties OF repentance and amendment and, es-
pecially, Of Offering fervens supp!icaiions,
that in the present season OF Calamity and
war, he would take the American people an
der His peculiar care and protection that
He would guide their public councils, AMI
mate their patriotism, and bestow His blcs-
sing on thci: arms that He would inspire all
nations with a love of justice and concord,and
with reverance for the unerring precept OF
our holy religion, TO do TO others as they
would require that others should do TO them
snd, finally, that turning the hearts of our
enemies from the violence and injustice
which sway their councils against US, He
would hasten a restoration Of the blessings OF

which still stand, there are not perhaps
twenty that will be found tenable. The
Custom House which was built very strong
