A close examination of this volume will disclose some apparent errors in the Laws as here printed; but as we procure a careful collation with the records at Washington by an experienced reader of the Department of State, and scrupulously follow the original, any seeming errors must be attributed to the Rolls, and not to us. Where anything absolutely necessary to the sense is omitted in the Rolls, it is inserted in the text, enclosed in brackets.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10">We intend to publish annually, and as soon after the close of each Session of Congress as is possible, the Acts of that Session, in a similar form and with a similar arrangement.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10">It will be seen, by the following extract from the Act of Congress, August 8th, 1846, and Joint Resolution of September 26, 1850, that our edition has been sanctioned by Congress, and is the <inline class="smallCaps">Official Edition</inline>.</p>

<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10"><i>“Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,</i> That the Secretary of State be authorized and directed to contract with <inline class="smallCaps">Little &amp; Brown</inline> to furnish their annual Statutes at Large, printed in conformity with the plan adopted by Congress in eighteen hundred and forty-five, instead of the edition usually issued by his order, under the act of Congress of April twentieth, eighteen hundred and eighteen, and which conforms to an edition of the laws now out of use.—<inline class="smallCaps">Approved</inline>, September 26, 1850.”</p>

They shall then cause notice to be given, by advertisement,<sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8">Proceedings.</p></sidenote> twice a week for three weeks, of the proposed opening of the new road, or of the alteration of an existing one, calling upon all persons who may have any objections thereto to present them to the court at its next regular meeting.

If no objection to the opening or altering a road by the owners of the land through which it must pass after such notice [is made], it shall be taken for granted that no damages are or will be claimed, and the road may be recorded and opened, and shall then be<page identifier="/us/stat/12/802">802</page> a public<sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8">Damages.</p></sidenote> road or highway; but if any owner or owners of the land shall object and claim damages, and the court cannot agree with such owner or owners upon the amount, then the court shall direct, the marshal of the District<sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8">Jury.</p></sidenote> to summon a jury of seven judicious, disinterested men, not related to any party interested, to be and appear on the premises on a day specified to assess the damages, if any, which each owner of land through which the road is to pass may sustain by reason thereof. And the marshal shall summon such jury, and administer an oath or affirmation to them that they will, without favor or partiality to any one, to the best of their judgment, decide what damage, if any, each owner may sustain by reason of running the road through his premises; but in doing this they shall take into consideration the benefit it may be to him or her by enhancing the value of his or her land, or otherwise, and give their verdict accordingly. It shall be the duty of the marshal, upon receiving the order from the court, to give the owner or owners aforesaid not less than ten days’ notice of the time and place of the meeting of the jury to assess their damages. In cases where notice cannot be served on the owner or owners, the same proceedings shall be had as is provided in this section in the ease of minors. The jury, having been upon the premises and assessed the damages, shall make out a written verdict, to be signed by them, or a majority of them, and attested by the marshal, which the marshal shall transmit to the court at its next session, and which shall be recorded. If the court or any owner or owners of the land aforesaid are dissatisfied with the verdict thus rendered, and no arrangement being made between the court and the said owner or owners, the court shall order<sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8">Second jury.</p></sidenote> the marshal to summon a second jury of twelve judicious, disinterested men, not related to any one interested, to meet and view the premises, giving the parties interested at least ten days’ notice of the time and place of meeting.

And the verdict, signed by each of the jurors, or a majority of them, shall be returned to the court at its next session, and recorded as final and conclusive, and the road shall then be declared a public road, and the court shall order it to be opened as such.

<chapeau>The United States of America and the Republic of Bolivia, desiring to make lasting and firm the friendship and good understanding which happily prevail between both nations, have resolved to fix, in a manner clear, distinct, and positive, the rules which shall in future be religiously observed between the one and the other, by means of a treaty of friendship, commerce, and navigation. For this most desirable object, the President of the United States of America has conferred full powers on John W. Dana, a citizen of the said States, and their Minister Resident to the said Republic; and the President of the Republic of Bolivia on the citizen Lucas Mendosa de la Tapia, Secretary of State in the Department of Exterior Relations and Public Instruction, who, after having exchanged their said full powers in due and proper form, have agreed to the following articles:</chapeau>

<recital class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">And whereas the same is producing some excitement and misunderstanding, therefore,</recital></preamble>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States, proclaim and <sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Proclamation void in part.</p></sidenote>declare, that the Government of the United States had no knowledge, information, or belief, of an intention on the part of General Hunter to issue such a proclamation; nor has it yet any authentic information that the document is genuine. And further, that neither General Hunter, nor any other commander, or person, has been authorized by the Government of the United States to make proclamations declaring the slaves of any State free; and that the supposed proclamation, now in question, whether genuine or false, is altogether void, so far as respects such declaration.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">I further make known that whether it be competent for me, as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, to declare the slaves of any State or States free, and whether, at any time, in any case, it shall have become a necessity indispensable to the maintenance of the Government, to exercise such supposed power, are questions which, under my responsibility, I reserve to myself, and which I cannot feel justified in leaving to the decision of commanders in the field. These are totally different questions from those of police regulations in armies and camps.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">On the sixth day of March last, by a special message, I recommended to Congress <sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Appeal for the gradual abolishment of slavery.</p></sidenote>the adoption of a joint resolution to be substantially as follows:</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10"><i>Resolved,</i> That the United States ought to cooperate with any State which may adopt a gradual abolishment of slavery, giving to such State pecuniary aid, to be used by such State in its discretion, to compensate for the inconveniences, public and private, produced by such change of system.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">The resolution, in the language above quoted, was adopted by large majorities in both branches of Congress, and now stands an authentic, definite, ami solemn proposal of the nation to the States and people most immediately interested in the subject matter. To the people of those States I now earnestly appeal—I do not argue—I beseech you to make the arguments for yourselves—You cannot, if you would, be blind to the signs of the times—I beg of you a calm and enlarged consideration of them, ranging, if it may be, far above personal and partisan politics. This proposal makes common cause for a common object, casting no reproaches upon any. It acts not the Pharisee. The change it contemplates would come gently as the dews of heaven, not rending or wrecking anything. Will you not embrace it? So much good has not been done, by one effort, in all past time, as, in the providence of God, it is now your high privilege to do. May the vast future not have to lament that you have neglected it.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.</p>
<p class="indent1 firstIndent-1 fontsize10">Done at the City of Washington, this nineteenth day of May, in the [<inline class="smallCaps">seal.</inline>] year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-sixth.</p>

<recital class="firstIndent1 fontsize10"><sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Preamble.</p></sidenote><inline class="smallCaps">Whereas,</inline> the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the Su preme Authority and just Government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of men and of nations, has, by a resolution, requested the President to designate and set apart a day for National prayer and humiliation:</recital>
<recital class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">And whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their depend ence upon the overrpling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord:</recital></preamble>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">And, insomuch as we know that, by His divine law, nations, like individuals, are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war, which now desolates the land, may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole People? We have been the recipi ents of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have for gotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and en riched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us !</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to con fess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.</p>
<sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Day set apart as a day of National humiliation, fasting, and prayer.</p></sidenote>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">Now, therefore, in compliance with the request, and fully concurring in the views of the Senate, I do, by this my proclamation, designate and set apart Thursday, the 30th day of April, 1863, as a day of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer. And I do hereby request all the People to abstain on that day from their ordinary secular pursuits, and to unite, at their several places of public worship and their respective homes, in keeping the day holy to the Lord, and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious duties proper to that solemn occasion.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">All this being done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by the Divine teachings, that the united cry of the Nation will be heard on high, and answered with blessings, no less than the pardon of our national sins, and the restoration of our now divided and suffering country, to its former happy condition of unity and peace.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.</p>
<p class="indent1 firstIndent-1 fontsize10">Done at the city of Washington this thirtieth day of March, in the [<inline class="smallCaps">l. s.</inline>] year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-seventh.</p>
