prolific regions have been occupied We are
permitted to hope that long protracted polki-
cal and sectional dissensions are, at no distant
day, to give place to returning harmony and
'fraternal affection throughout the Republic.
Many foreign States have entered into liberal
agreements with us, while natious, which are
far off, and which heretofore have been un.
social and exclusive, have become our friends
The annual period of rest, which We have
reached in health aud tranquility, and which
is crowned with 80 many blessings, is, by uni
versal consent, convenient and suitable one
for cultivating personal piety and practicing
public devotion. therefore recommend that

people of the United States as day public
praise, Thanksgiving and prayer to the AL
mighty Creator and Divine Ruler of the Uni
