In the year which is now drawing to its
end, the art, the skill and the labor of the
people of the United States have been en-
ployed with greater diligence and vigor, and
on broader fields. than ever before. and the
fruits of the Garth have been gathered into
the granary and the storehouse in marvellous
abundance. Our highways have been length
ened, and new and prolific regions have been
occupied. We are permitted to hope that
long -protracted political and sectional dis
senrions 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 nations which are far off. and
which, heretofore, have been unsocial and
exclusive. have become our friends. The
annual period of rest which we have reached
in health and tranquility, and which is
crowned with so much blessing, is, by uni
vsrsal consent, convenient and suitable one
for cultivating personal piety and practicing
public devotion. l, therefore, recommend
that Thursday, the Goth day of November
next be set apart and observed by all the
people of the United States as day of pub
lie praise, thanksgiving and prayer to the
Almighty Creator and Divine Ruler of the
universe, by whose ever watchful, merciful
and gracious providence alone, States and
Nations, no less than families and :ndivid-
tai men, do live and move and have their
being.
