It will appear obvious that a reform in the

a revision of the fevgral Land Ads now in
force in this date ; as also of an Art, entitled
“ An Art for suppressing the Violences of the

thereby, now on furlough; and of an Art,

The present state of the frontier counties.
and the circumstances attending a failure of'”
treaty' with the Creeks, will be a proper fub

furcs will he pursued as will giv* a temporary
lecurity to frontier settlements, and also
relief to the c; izens at large , by'retrenching
the state expenditure, and exercifiug political
economy throughout the whole of our fyflem,

A Proclamation.
WHEREA& it is the duty of all nations
to acknowledge the providence of Al
migiity God, to obey his will, to be grateful
for bis benefits, and humbly to implore his
protertion and favors: And whereas both
Houses of Congress have, by their joint com
mittee, requeued me “ to rccommehd to the
people of the U uited States," a day of'public
tbankfgiving and prayer, to be obfeiyed by
acknowledging with grateful hearts the many
signal favors of Almighty God, especially by
adfording them an opportunity peaceablv to
eftablilh a form of government for their fafe s
ty and happiness.”
Now, therefore, I do recommend and as
sign Tnurfday, the afith day of November
next, to be devoted by the people of these
- Hates to the service of that great and glorious
Being, who is the bedificent author of all the
good that was, that is, or that will be—that
we may then all unite in rendering unto him
our ffneere and humble thanks for his kin I
care and protertion of the people of thiscoun
try, previous to their becoming a nation ; for
the signal and manifold m rcies, and the fa
vorable interpolations of his providence,
we experienced in the cou;le and
of the late war—for the great degree of tran
quility, union and plenty, which we have
since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational
manner in which we have been enabled to,'
eftablilh conftitutFons of government for our
fafety and happiness, and particularly the na
tional one now lately inftituted—for the civil
and religious liberty with which we are bles
sed, and the means we have of acquiring and
diffufing ufefol knowledge; and in general
for all the great and various favors which he
hath been pteafed to confer upon us.
And also, that we may then unite in mod
humbly offering our prayers and Applications
to the great Ruler of natious, and
be Teeth him to pardon oar national and other
tranfgrcfiions—to enable us all, whether in
public or private stations, to perform out se
veral and relative duties properly and punctu
ally—to render our national government a
bleffmg to all thj people, by couftantly being
a government of wife,-juft and conititutional
laws, discreetly and faithfully
obeyed— to protest and guide all sovereigns
and nations, (especially such as have ihe n
‘ ktndnefs unto us) and to blcfs them with good
government, peace and concord —to promote
the knowledge, and practice of true religion
• and virtue, and the encreafe of science among
them and us—and generally to grant unto all
mankind such a degree of temporal prospe
rity as he alone knows to be best.
