peaCeable and rational manner IN which
we have been enabled to establish COM
situations OF government for our
safety and happiness, and particularly
the national one now lately Instituted;
for the civil and religious liberty with
which we arc blessed and the means
we have Of acquiring and diffuslng
useful knowledge; and in general for
all the great and various favors which
HeShas been pleased TO confer upon US.
BY this time the festival had attained
Official recognition throughout New
England and the governors OF the dlf-
ferent states sent out their pTOclama-
lions regularly. The west, being large-
ly settled from the east. readily fell
into line, but Thanksgiving Day did not
obtain oihciRl recognition In the south

nors sent forth proclaInatlons. after the
New England model. amid much critic
cism from opponents Of Yankee mo-
TONS
President Lincoln, in 1SS2-eS-6i, rec
commended special days of thanksglv-
ing, and since the Civil war the prac-
tlce has been unbroken. Here Is an exc
tract from Mr. Llncoln'g last proelama-
ton OF this kind, before he was assassi-
mated. It u dated October 20, BB4, ana
refers emphatlcally to his proclamation
Of emancipation:
at has pleased Almighty God to pro-
long our National life another year, de-
Tending US with His guardian care
against unfriendly designs from abroad
and vouchsafng to US in His mercy
many and signal victories over the enc
envy who is OF our own household. 1t
has also pleased our Heavenly Father
To favor as well our citizens in their
homes as our soldiers in their camps
and our sailors on the rivers and seas,
with unusual health. He has largely
augmented our free population BY
emancipation and by immigration,
while He has opened to US new sources
Of wealth and has crowned the labor of
our workingmen in every department Of
industry with abundant rewards.
Moreover, He has been pleased to an,
innate and inspire our minds and
hearts with fortitude, courage and res.
olutlon sufficient for the great trial Of
civil war Into which we have been
brought by our adherence as a nation
to the cause Of freedom and humanity
and to AFFORD to US reasonable hopes Of
an ultimate and happy delIyerance
from all our dangers and Affections.
Now, therefore, l." etc.
