Proclamation,
BY CHARLES S. OLDEN,
GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.

While under the rod, and suffering merited chastisement for our many national sins, let us not forget the many unmerited blessings that are yet spared to us, lest they too be withdrawn.

That we may give meet and united expression to our gratitude, I recommend that THURSDAY, THE TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY OF NOVEMBER, instant, be observed by the people of this State as a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift, and that, abstaining from all needless secular employment, they assemble in their several places of worship to offer to Him the sacrifice of Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving.

GIVEN under my hand and privy seal, this first day of November, A.D. eighteen hundred and sixty-one.

CHS. S. OLDEN.

Attest,
C. M. HERBERT, PRIVATE SECRETARY.
