worship, they observe a day of fasting and prayer by such religious
services as may be suitable on the occasion; and I recommend Friday, the
14th day of May next, for that purpose, to the end that on that day we
may all with one accord join in humble and reverential approach to Him
in whose hands we are, invoking Him to inspire us with a proper spirit
and temper of heart and mind under these frowns of His providence and
still to bestow His gracious benedictions upon our Government and our
country.

JOHN TYLER.
