States, by a joint resolution Of the
two Houses, have signified request
that q day may be recommended, to

the Injustice of a foreign government,

assemble ON the second Thursday of
September next, in their respective
religious congregations, to render
him thanks fer the many blessings
he has bestowed on the people Of the
U. States that he has blessed them
with land capable Of yielding all
the necessaries and requisites of
human life, with ample means for
convenient exchanges with foreign
countries that he has blessed the
labours employed in its cultivation
and improvement that he is now
blessing the exertions to extend and
establish the arts and manufactures,
which will. secure within ourselves
supplies too important to remain de-
pendent on the prccarious policy, or
the peaceable dispositions of other
nations,. and particularly that he
has blessed the United States with a
political constitution founded on the
will and authority Of the whole peo-
pie, and guaranteeing to each indivi.
dual security, not only Of his person
and his property, but Of those sa-
cred rights Of conscience, 50 essen.
