FHID.4Y EVENING, APRIL 19 BY THE PRESIDENT Of the Ukirsv Slaves of A tier ic 's, '% proclamation. AS no truth is more clearly taught in the volume of inspiration, nor any more ful ly demonstrated by the experience of all ages, than that a deep sense and a due ac knowledgment of the governing providence of a Supreme b ing and of the accountable refs ofmcn to Him a? the searcher of hearts ana righteous distributor of rewards and pu nifhmerils, are conducive,, equally, to the happiiufs and redtitude of individuals and to the well being of communities ; as it is, al so, molt reafor.able in itfelf, that men who are made capable of social aflsand relations, who owe their improvements to the social state, and who derive their enjoyments from it, (hould, as a focicty, make their acknow ledgments of dependance and obligation to Him who bath endued them with these ca pacities, and elevated them in the scale of existence, by these diftinftions; as i't is, like wise, a plain diftateof duty, and a strong sen timent of nature, that in circumltances of great urgency and seasons of imminent dan ger, earnest and particular supplications should, be made to Him who is able to defend or to deltroy ) as, moreover, the mod pre cious interests of the people ef the United States are ft ill held in jeopardy, by the ho ftiledefigrs and insidious aits of a foreign nation, as well as by the domination among them of those principles subversive of the foundations of all religious, moral and so cial obligstiors, that have produced incalcul able mifcfiicf and misery in other countries; and as, in fine, the observance of special sea sons for public religions solemnities, is hap pily calculated to avert the evils which we ought to deprecate, and to etfeite to the performance of the duties which we ought to discharge,—by calling and fixing the at tention of the people at large to the momen tOHS truths already recited, by affording op portunity to teich and inculcate them, by animating devotion and giving to it the cha rafter 6f a national aft :—For these reasons I have thought proper to recommend, and I do hereby recommend accordingly, "that Thursday, the 25th day of April next, be observed, throughout the United States of America, as a day of solemn humiliation, fading and prayer—That citizens, on that tlay, abltaining as far as may be from their secular occupations, devote the time to the sacred duties of religion, in public and in private.. That they call to miwd our nume rous offen es against the most High GOD, csufefs them before him with the fincereft penitence, implore his pardoning mercy, through the great Mediator and Redeemer, for our pad tranfgreffiooß, and that, thro' the grace of his Holy. Spirit, we may be disposed and enabled to yield a more suitable obedience to his, righteous requifuion* in time to come : That he would interpose to arrest the progref? of that impiety and licen tioufnef? in principle and praftice, so offen five to himfelf and so ruinous to mankind : That he would make us deeply sensible that " righteousness exalteth a nation, but that fin is the reproach of any people That he would turn us from our tranfgreflions and turn his displeasure from us: That he would withhold us from unreasonable dif content—from disunion, faftion, sedition and infurreftion :That he would preserve our country from the desolating sword: That he would save our cities and towns from-a repetition of those awful pestilential visitations under which they have lately fuf fered so fsverely, and that the health of our inhabitants generally, may be precious in his fight : That he would favor us with fruitful seasons, and so bless the labors of the husbandman as that there may be food in abundance for man and bead : That he would prosper our commerce, manufactures and fifheries, and give success to the people in all their lawful indullry and enterprize : That he would-fmile on our colleges, acade mies, schools and seminaries of learning, and make them nurseries of found fciencc, mo rals and religion : That he would bless all magistrates from the highest to the lowest, give them the true, spirit of their (tation, make them a terror to evil doers and a praise to them that do well : That he would pre side over the councils of the nation at this critical period, enlighten them to ajull dis cernment of the public interest, and save them from mistake, division and discord : That he would succeed our preparations for defence, and bless our armaments by land and by sea : That he would put an end to the effufion of human blood, and the accu mulation of human misery, among "the con tending nations of the earth, by disposing them to justice, to equity, to benevolence and to peace: And that he would extend the bleflings of knowledge, o? true liberty, and of pure and undefiled religion, through out the world. And I do, also, iccommend that with these a£ls of hirmfliation, penitence and prayer, fervent thankfgiWng to the author, of all good be united, for the countless fa vors which fie still continuing to the peo ple of the United States, and which render their condition as a nation eminently happy, when compared with the lot of others.
