This is the dav designated b. the Governor oil this
as well ms some sixteen othes States for the Annual
Thanksgiving. Although in our view the condition
and prospects OF our Country call rather Tor solemn
Fasting aud Humiliation than for rejoicing and e1-
ultation vet have we abundance for which to be
thankful to the Author of all good Gov Colby oil
New Hampshire happily observed IN his Proclama-
ton that the choicest blessings cease to ne bless
ings when not received with gratitude TO their Al
mighty Giver" On calm consideration oil our
Connt,v's attitude and bearings we reverently re-
ahae that she has great reason to render iervent
thanks to the Universal Father for these among
other mercies
That in q season of general failure anddehclency
of the fruits of the earth own Harvests have IN
the average been ample, filing our granares and
store houses to repletion and enabling US to spare
largely of our abundance TO check the ravages qt
famine in tho Old World
That internal Peace and tranquility have so gen
orally been preserved to US throughout the year
now closing
That Education, Morality, Religion, Arts and
Sciences appear to be making steady and bone
.fcent progress among us
That the War which has broken out between us
aud the only adjacent Republic-horrio1a us All
War is aud execrable is this War especially III
its origin and objects-has thus fur been wased
with less augmentation of misery and destruction
Of human life than might reasonably have been nm
sicpated
That War haa evidently lost its fascination tor
the great mass of our people. and is looked upon
bva large proportion OF them with the mcompro-
missing adherence it SO richly merits This F" al
does not appear to have strengthened ITS authors
and coutrivers anywhere but among our haii'saV'
age borderers while il has powerfully contributed
TO their discontinue throughout two.thlrds oi the
Union;
That even with the war.shout sounding in then
ears, and the stupidity malicious stigma OF Mexi
can attempted to be affixed TO all who oppose the
extension OF our territory by conquest the public
mind evincss little and decreasing sympathy With
the noise OF the captains ba, incines more and
more daily to peaceful plans for the moderation o
Human Wees and the diffusion OF knowledge
Christianity. purer Civilization and the means 0
general Happiness
For these and many kindred reasons, we are sla|
