******* " Having thus imparted to you my sentiments, as they have been awakened by the occasion which brings us together, I shall take my present leave ; but not without resorting once more to the benign Parent of the human race, in humble supplication, that since he has been pleased to favour the American people with opportuni- nities for deliberating in perfect tranquillity, and disposi tions for deciding with unparalleled unanimity, on a form of government for the securing of their union, an...d the 130 RELIGIOUS OPINIONS AND advancement of their happiness ; so His Divine blessing may be equally conspicuous in the enlarged views, the temperate consultations, and the wise measures on which the success of this government must depend. " We pass to the next and last instance of this devout feeling in the Father of his country, which we shall cite from public documents. In October succeeding his in auguration, the following Proclamation was issued by him : " Whereas, it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his pro tection and favour : And, whereas, both houses of Con gress have, by their joint committee, requested me to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public Thanksgiving and Prayer, to be observed by ac knowledging, with grateful hearts, the many and signal favours of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of govern ment for their safety and happiness.
