STATE OF VERMONT.
A ROCL A M A II | 0 N,
BY THE GOVERNOR.


The season has again returned, in which
by long established usage, the peo-
pie of this State have been accustom-
ed to assemble for the purpose of en-
gaging in the exercises of public FAS
TING AND PRAYER. The propri-
ETY. of this custom has been recon-
mended by its regular observance from
our earliest history, and is every where
sanctioned by the precepts of relg-
ion. Man needs to be reminded of
his dependence upon his Creator, lest
he become forgetful of the arm that
sustains and the hand that feeds him.
In conformity with this laudable prac-
tice, do hereby appoint FRIDAY, the
TENTH DAY OF APRIL NEXT, to
be observed by the people of this State,
as a day of FASTING, HUMlLIA-
TION AND PRAYER, and recommend
that they abstain from all labor and rec
reation inconsistent with its due observ-
ance.
May the people on that day. assembled
at their several places of public worship,
be led to a faithful review of the past,
and to serious meditations upon their re-
spective duties and responsibilities. Con-
scious of their Offences, may they repent
of their transgressions, and through the
influence of the pure principles of the
Gospel Of Jesus Christ, be animated and
inspired with resolutions of future amend
ment and obedience to Gods holy law.
Let it also be day of sincere HuMrLIA-
TON for the sins of the land and while
we gricve for the crimes and vices which
reproach our country, let us fervently
pray that all acts of public wrong, inius-
tlce and oppression, may be speedily re-
dressed; that the spirit of insubordina-
ton, disregard of law and right, and the
hitherto uncontrolled ambition of men
may be restrained and, that respect for
the laws, love of order, of civil and relig-
ious liberty, virtue and patriotism, may
universally prevail tl
In view Of our dependence upon the
goodness and mercy of GOD, and our
faith in his preserving and sustaining care,
it is peculiarly appropriate that we invoke
his blessing upon the concerns ofthe pas
sing year That HE would order the
seasons in kindness, and bless with rich
return the labors of the husbandman
That all our citizens, in their various law
full pursuits, may be prospered That the
health of our people may be preserved;
That HE would regard with favor our
many associations and institutions, design
ed for the dissemination and promotion
of truth and science, and for the amelio-
ration of the condition of Man.
And may we earnestly implore the
Sovereign Ruler of the Universe to pro-
tect our beloved country in all its vari-
GUS interests and relations, praying that
our Rulers, in the National and State
Governments, may be guided by wisdom
and patriotism, and that the blessings of
civil and religious liberty, now enjoyed
by us, may be transmitted, in all their
freshness, as an invaluable inheritance,
to future generations.
