WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 29.-The president
has issued the following;
By the President Of the United States.
A PROCLAMATION.
The process of the seasons has again enabled
the husbandman TO garner the fruits of success
full toll. Industry has been generally well re-
warded. We are at peace with all nations, and
tranquility, with few exceptions, prevails at
home. Within the past year we have in the
main been free from ills which elsewhere have
affected our kind.
If some of us have had calamities there
should be an occasion for sympathy with the
sufferers; of resignation on their part TO the
will of the Most High, and of rejoicing to the
many who have been more favored.
| therefore recommend that on Thursday, the
thirtieth day of November next, the people
meet in their respective places of worship, and
there make the usual Acknowledgements to AL
mighty God for the blessings He has conferred
upon them, for their merciful exemption from
evil, and invoke His protection and kindness
for their less fortunate brethren whom, in His
wisdom, He has deemed it best to chastse.
In witness whereof / have hereuntO set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States to
he affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this twenty
eighth day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and sew
enty-onc, and of the independence of the
United States the ninety sixth.
