ran PRESIDENT OF TUE UNITED STATES,
a Proclamation.

Almighty God. our Heavenly Father, has
been pleased to vonchsafe to us as people
another year of that national life which is
an indispensable condition of peace, secur-
ity, and progress. That year moreover has
been crowned with many peculiar blessings.
The civil war that was so recently among
us has not been anywhere reopened For
eign Intervention has ceased to excite alarm
or apprehension. Intrusive pestilence has
been benignly mitigated. Domestic tran
guilty has improved; sentiments of concil-
iation have largely prevailed; and afeo-
lions OF loyalty and patriotism have been
widely renewed Our ffelds have yielded
quite abundantly,-o mining industryshas
been richly rewarded, and we have been
allowed to extend our railroad system far
into the interior recesses of the country,
while our commerce has resumed its GUS
tomary activity in foreign seas.
These great national blessings demand
national acknowledgment
Now, therefore, [, Andrew Johnson, pres
ident Of the United States, do hereby re-.
commend that Thursday, the twenty ninth
day of November next, be set apart and be
observed everywhere in the several states
and territories Of the United States, by the
people thereof, as a day of thanksgiving
and praiseto Almighty God, with due re-.
membrance that in His temple doth every
man speak of His honor.
T oIo III
solemn occasion we do humbly and devoutly
implore Him to grant to cur national ooun-
ellis and to our whole people that DIVE
wisdom which alone can lead any nation
into the ways Of all good.
/ In Offering these thanksgiving, praises
and supplications, we have the divine as
surance that the Lord remaineth king
forever. Those that are meek shall he
guide in judgment; and those that are gem
tie shall He learn His way. The Lord shall
give strength to His people; and the Lord
shall give to His people the blessings of
peace.
In witness whereof l have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal Of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington, this 9th
day of October, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, and
of the independence Of the United States
