\ PROCLAMATION


 A PROCLAMATION.
 Following the recommendation of the Tres ident of the United States, have appointed Thursday. the 2sth day of November, instant. as dsy Of bubble thanksgiving to Almighty God for His protecting care and goodness to the people of this s,ate during the year now drawing to close; aud especially:
 Thanksgiving for the blessing O. health on our Commonwealth, and that the destroying plarue has not been suffered to come ui9h oul dwellings.
 Thanksgiving for the blessing of peace or cur nation, and that we have been saved fron' the transformations of war, whilst other natiolS have been vexed with tumults and wars, anG rumors of war.
 Thanksgiving to the Lord of the harvest for fruitful seasons, and the overioWlnG aoun- dance of the harvest.
 By contrast, which ought to be, and eH- cept for our own folly and improvidence would be, fragrant contradiction, we are in the midst at the same time of unmessured abur- dance and of pressing want. The lesson ol the day, the n, is not only thanksgiving to Go" but almsgiving to His poor. Let mt tAos' whose homes are full ot festivity aiiA who's barns are bursting with plenty, bLnd t-:tl. eyes to this most evident lesson, nor l'nltat' the rich man whose dogs were more charitable than their surfeiting master. Is not human motherhood something more than fable! Ii so, can we hope to render acceptable thanks to Him who bends his pitylng ear to the cry of the raven, if we deafen ours on such day a" this to the cry of our own brethren Wno nave need?
 .* Given under my hand and the seal oi
