States: A Proclamation :
The approaching November
bricgs to mind the custom of our
ancestors, hallowed by time and
rnnted in our most sacred tradi-
tions, of giving thanks to Almighty
Goa for all the blessings He hath having been out only twenty mm-c.-u3b3afe'd
to us during' the past utes. The judge at once sentenced
vcv years in our history have af-
nnkdstich cause for thanksgiving
this. 'We have been blessed by
abundant harvests,' our trade and ,
.o-merce have been wonderfully
increased, our public credit has
j improved and strengthened,
all sections of our common coun-
tn have been brought together
and knitted into closer bonds of
rational purpose and unity.
The skies have been for a, time
darkened by the cloud of war, but
as we were compelled to take up
the sword in the cause of humani-
ty, we are permitted o rejoice
that the conflict has been of brief
duration and the losses we have

sation ot hostilities came so soon
as to spare both sides the count
less sorrows and disasters that at
tend protracted war.
I do, therefore, invite all my fel-

When the people of the com-

out of the city that night, in order
to save his life m case a lynching
