b3- The following is a model proclamation
PROCLAMATION,
By the Governor Of the State of Ohio.

In conformity with custom, sanction ed by
Legislative resolves, commended by the prac-
tice of my predecessors, in the Executive Of
flee, and in itself highly becoming Chris
tan People, /, Salmon P. Chase, Governor of
the State of Ohio, do hereby designate and ap-
point Thursday, the goth day of November, of
the current year, to be observed as a day of
Public Thanksgiving TO almighty God.
Refraining, on that day, from the ordinary
avocations of life let keep the feast with Joy
full hearts. Assembling in our respective places
ofpublic worship, or gathering around our domes-
tic affairs, let US devoutly acknowledge Con as
the Gracious Author of every blessing and every
benefit. Let us gratefully thank Him, especial
ly, for our prosperity and for our security; for
our Institutions of Education, Religion, and
Charity; for the products of our Agriculture
and of our Arts; for the Intercourse of Com.
merce; for the preservation of Health for
Homes endeared by sweet family affections !;
for the Mercies of Redemption, and for the
Hopes of Immortality. Adoring the Divine
Wisdom by which our Fathers we're guided in
establishing the foundations of United Empire
In North America, upon the solid basis Of Civil
and Religious Freedom, and the Divine Good
ness by which the Institutions of Government
which they founded have been transmitted to
us their children let us give thanks for Liberty,
guarded by Law, and defended by Union.
Confessing, humbly, our unworthness of
these inestimable benefits, let US fervently in
woke our Father in Heaven to continue them
graciously to US, and to our posterity forever
Nor let us forget, in rejoicings or in supplica.
tons, our fellow-men less happy than ourselves
OF our abundance, let US give literally to those
who need; nor let us fail to present, before the
throne of Infinite Justice, our sincere prayers
for the downfall of tyranny, for the deliverance
of the oppressed, for the enfranchisement of the
enslaved, and for the establishment, everywhere,
of Human Rights and Just Governments. In
vigorated by enjoyments and aspirations like
these, we shall return, it may be hoped, to the
ordinary pursuits of life, with hearts more than
ever engaged to the performance of every pri-
vate and every public duty, and more than ever
devoted to the advancement of the best inter
ests of our State, our Country, and our Race.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of
Isvnl the State of Ohio, at Columbus, this
18th day of October, A. d. 1856.
