First Tkanksgiving Proclamation m Oregon
'
By the Governor of the Territory of Oregon : , t
The year now drawing to a close has been one of general prosperity to the citizens of
Oregon Territory. . The blessings of Divine Providence have been abundantly vouchsafed to
all classes of our population. Our ample harvest has requited the labor of the husbandman.
The mechanic, the merchant and the professional man have alike successfully pursued their avo
cations, while 'the pestilence that walketh in darkness and the destruction that wasteth at noon
day" have not been allowed to devastate our rising country. We have been generally exempted
from wars' within our own limits, and the Federal Republic has gone forward m her glorious ca
reer of moral and intellectual progress, unobstructed by any untoward event. In addition to
these general occasions for gratitude we have special cause of congratulation in the advance
ment of science and of virtue in our midst. It is fitting that we should, as a people, acknowl
edge our obligations and render our thanks to the gracious Author of our mercies.
In conformity to a usage in most of the states of our Union, I, John P. Gaines, do hereby
a'ppoint the second Thursday in December next to be set apart as a day of public thanksgiving
to Almighty God, and invite all the citizens o,f the territory to suspend their usual business
and observe the. day in appropriate religious exercises. .
. Given under my hand and the seal of the territory at the executive office in Salem this 9th
day of November, A. D. 1852.
