National Thanksgiving.
Proclamation By the President or the
United States for a Day Of
% Thanksgiving and Praise.

Almighty God, oar Heavenly Father, has been
pleased to youchsafe to as people another yesr
Of that national life which is an indispensable oondi
ton of peace, security and progress That year,
moreover, has been crowned with many peculiar
blessings. The civil war that was recently among
us hasn been anywhere reopened. Foreign inter
ion has ceased to excite alarm or apprehension
Intrusive peptilence has been benignly mitigated
Domestic tranquility has improved. Sentiments OF
Cancellation have largely prevailed, and affections Of
loyalty and patriotism have been widely renewed -
Our fields have yielded quite abundantly our min
ing industry has been richly rewarded, and we have
been allowed to extend our railroad system far into
the interior of the country, while our com
has resumed its customary antivity in foreign
seas. These great national blessings demand q ma
tional acknowledgement. ass Ai~
Now, therefore, ], Andrew johnson, President Of
the United States do hereby recommend that Thurs
day, the tlcenty-nnh 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, day of Thanksgiving and praise
TO Almighty God, with due remembrance that in His
temple doth every man speak of his honor. I rec
oumend, also, that on the same solemn occasion we
do humby and devoutiy implore him to grant to our
national councils and to whole people that di-
vine wisdom that alone lead any nation into the
ways of all good. $3.50 4.4 s
In offering these national thanksgivings, praises
and suppcations, have the Divine assurance that
the Lord remaineth King forever. Them that ARE
meek shall He guide in judgement, and such are
gentle shall He learn His ways. The Lord shall
give strength to His people, and the Lord shall give
to his people the blessings of peace.
In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be ax-
ed Done at the city of W ashngton, this Sth day of
October, in the year of Lord thousand eight
hundred and sixty six, and of the independence of
the United States the ninetieth.
