WAsHINGToN, Oct. 11.-Proclamation
by President of United States:
Whereas. the revolution of another
year has again brought the time when it
is usual to look back upon the past and
publicly thank Almighty God for his
mercies and blessings; and whereas, if
any one people has occasion more than
another for such thankfulness, it is citi-
zens of tn, United States, whose Gov
ernment is their creature, subject to
their behests, who have reserved to them
selves ample civil and religious freedom
and equality before the law. who daring
the last twelve months have enjoyed ex-
emption from any grievances or general
calamity. and to whom prosperity in ag-
riculture, manufactures and commerce
has been vouchsafed; therefore, by these

houses of worship, and there make ac-
knowledge to God for his kindness and
bounty.

set my hand and caused the seal of the
