BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.
We are reminded by the changing seasons that it is time to pause in our
daily avocations and offer thanks to Almighty God for the mercies and
abundance of the year which is drawing to a close.
The blessings of free government continue to be vouchsafed to us; the
earth has responded to the labor of the husbandman; the land has been
free from pestilence; internal order is being maintained, and peace
with other powers has prevailed.
