Whereas the President OF the United States
has heretofore set forth several proclamations
offering amnesty and pardon to persons who
had been or were concerned in the late rebel
lion against the lawful authority of the govern
ment of the United states, which proclamsticns
were severally issued on the eighth day Of De-
cember 1868. on the 18th day of March, 1854, ON
thd Goth day of May, 1865, on the 18th day Of Sep
tcmber. 1867, and on the 4th day of July in the
present year; and whereas the authority Of the
Federal government having been re-established
in all the States and territories within the ju.
risdictron of the United States, It is believed

as at the dates Of said several proclamaions were

said rebellion, extended to all who have borne
any part therein, will tend to secure permanent
peace, order and prosperity throughout the land,
