A PROCLAMATION.

In the year which is now drawing to ito
end. the art. the skill. and the labor of the
people OF the United States have been en,-
ployed with greater diligence aud yigor
and In broader fields than ever before. and
the fruits Of the earth have been gathered
into the grancry and the storch0use in
marvellous abundance. Our h:ghways
have bocn heightened, and new and pro-
liiic regions have been occupied. We ars
permitted to hope that long protracted pO-
distant day, to give place to returning har.
the Republic. Many foreign states have
entered into liberal agreements with ns.
while nations which are far off. and which
heretofore have been unsOcial and exciu-
sivc, have become our friends. The am
nual period OF rest, which we have reached
in health and tranquility. and which 10
crowned with SO many blessings, is. by
universal consent, a convenient and sulta-
bic cne for cul,ivatiug personal piety aud
practicing public devotion. therefore
recommend that THURSDAY. the
TWENTY SIXTH day Of NOVEMBER
next. be set apart and observed by all the
people Of the United States % day for
public praise, thanksgiving and prayer to
the Almighty Creator and Divine Ruler Of
the Universe. by whose ever watchful mer-
ciful and gracious providence alone, States
and nations, no less than families and in-
dividual men. do live and move aud have
their being.
In witness whereof. I have hercunto set
my hand and caused the seal Of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the City Of Washington this
twelfth day Of October in this year ot
i our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty eight, and Of the Independence
Of tho United States the ninety third.
