And yet another year has passed
over our State, and Nation And
the people of Ohio in accordance with
a usage of our dead fathers, older than
the State itself, have been once again
invoked, by a joint resolution of their
General Assembly, to unite in pub
lie acknowledgement, as well Of the
existence. power, and goodness ofGod,
as OF His interposing hand in all the
works, ways and relations ofmen.
And, now, upon a full consideration
of all the religious truths connected
with this venerable custom, aud with
a lively remembrance of all the events
of that past year, what oughtthis whole
people to feel and to utter, at their fam
lily reunions, in the greetings offriends
and neighbors, and around the altars
of the Most High? Can it be possible
that any people ever before could have
had such causes as yourselves, for thank
fulness and praises to God? If the
annually recurring seasons ofthe reg
ular year and the varying climates Of
our glooe, with all their goodly fruits
and health and other countless com
forts and delights, have ever been and
shall always be. ssverally and in their
