_WILLl.\1Vl W. ELLSWIIRTH.
Governor and Commander-2'n-C/iief in and over
the State of Connecticut,
A PROCl;AMA'l'Il)N.
The Government of an Almighty Ruler is ob-
vious in the fitness. harmony, antl vastness of
his works. In asurvey ofthe world in which
we live, the upright mind is filled with rever-
ence and awe. ‘In contemplating _man’s in-
tellectual powers. we are yet more astonished
at the dignity and destiny oftliehuman soul; '
but while we recognize the wisdom ofa D.-
vine Being in its origin, we discover darkness,
disorder and guilt. within. which sbews our.
moral nature to be ‘in rtiins; that man has
lost the image of his Maker; brokenaway
from all allegiance to his God, atid is verifying
in sad experience. the denunciation. “cursed
is the ground tor thy sake, in sorrow shalt tltou
eat ofit all the days of thy life." -
The evils ofthe natural wor|d—man's sin-
fuluess and weakness—lhc trials and griefs
and pains ofthis life, anti death, inevitable to
all, declare most emphatically. that man is art
alien from God. The history of the human
family, as well as our own individual experi-
ence, confirm the truth of Revelation. that
earth has rebelled against Heaven—that man
is arrayed against God—and that Divine in-
terposition alone, through the atonement of a
Savior, will rescue the repentant from the con-
sequences of sin.
In the intent that the foregoing sentiments may
be more deeply irnpressed on our minds, and in
Crmformity to the practice of this State, frotn its
earliest settlement; I ltave thought proper to
appoint. and I do hereby appoint Friday, the
twenty-ninth day of March instant, to be ob-
served. throughout the State as a day of Public
Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer: and I ear-
nestly call on all the people ofthis State, to as-
semble, with their religious teachers. in their re-
spective places of worship, and before God. 80-
kuowledge His universal presence--His rightful
aUllI0rily—I-Its holy provident.-e—H,is goodness
and forbearance—and to awaken a due sense of
their obligations to serve Him; with a perfect
mind; with contrition of soul, to consecrate
tlientselves anew to His service, and with trust-
ing failltful hearts, to seek His approbation and
rest on His promised mercy. as their highest
good. And especially would I enlreat then‘. to
deprecate the prevalence of pritle and ambition,
of iulemperance. oppression, avarice and false-
hood in our land. Audi do recommend that
fervent prayer be offered to Almighty God, for
His blessing on the Yariotis interests of the State;
that He would prosper our efforts in agricitlture,
commerce, manufactures and the arts; smile
upon our schools and seminaries of lsarniitg. and
all associations formed for the relief of human
sufiering. That he w,oul_d give to our judicial
_‘ .and Executive OIIICGTS, wisdom, integrity and
firmness in the discharge oftheir duties; to our
public and influential men,virtue. disinterested-
ness and patriotism—and impart to this whole
people a spirit ofunion, charity and obedience to
the laws., That God would be pleased to bless
the President of the United States. and scatter
light in his path—to save our country from war
and disunion, and restore tranquility throughout
our borders. That he would put an end to the
wretcliedness of mankind from ignorance attd
violence, and crown with success, the efforts of
the Christian world to extend the knowledge of
His glorious gospel to all the nations of the earth.
Given under my hand at Hartford the twelfth
day of March. in the year of our Lord, one

“TELL THE TRUTH, Al/ID SHAME THE ll-1.’!
\Ve learn from the Hartford Review, that the
following resollttions were actually adopted at a
Loco~Foco meeting lteld some where “dawn
east.” within the precincts of this state. They
are certainly, taking the preamble in connection
with the resolutions. the most straight forward
and consistent affair of the kind. that we have
lately seen. It is what Mr. Whittlesey would
call, putting "the naked question, disrohed of
all party considerations._" And if the Locos
were equally candid, there would be no occa-
sion to strip the questions which are now agitat-
ing the public mind, of the flimsy disguises in
which "party considerations" have invested
them.
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas. There is at ihii present time a most
important crisis it) the aflairs ofthe Loco-Foco
party, and large numbers of the officers of said
party are abscontling with large sums ofthe peo-
ple’s money, which we have not yet the wish
to put a stop to, because " tn the viclors belong
the spoils.” And wltereas. the public lands are
about being given to the Democrats in the Wes-
tern States t-o bu_v their votes for Martin Van
Buren. although these lands to the amount of
several millions of dollars belong to Couriecticut
freeinen. A_nd whereas, that as long as the
Loco-F0008 are in office, it is right for these oili-
cers to interfere in all ottr primary elections and
browbeat the Whigs and others who are in their
employ into voting the Loco-Foco ticket
whether they like it or not, And whereas.
whilst, we the Loco-For.-os are in power, what
ever we do is right, whether we have any law
for it or not, therefore ,
