<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10"><inline class="smallCaps">In</inline> publishing the following Laws, the same plan has been adopted that was prescribed in the Joint Resolution of Congress of March 3, 1845 (Vol. V., p. 798), authorizing a subscription to the edition of all the Laws of the United States published by us. 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 extracts from the Act of Congress, August 8, 1846 (Vol. IX., p. 76), and the Joint Resolutions of September 26, 1850 (Vol. IX., p. 564), and March 31, 1866 (Vol. XIV, p. 352), that our edition has been sanctioned by Congress, and is the <inline class="smallCaps">Official Edition</inline>.</p>
<quotedContent>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10">“And whereas said edition of the said Laws and Treaties of the United States has been carefully collated and compared with the original rolls in the archives of the Government, under the inspection and supervision of the Attorney-General of the United States, as duly certified by that officer: therefore, <i>Be it further enacted,</i> that said edition of the Laws and Treaties of the United States, published by Little &amp; Brown, is hereby declared to be competent evidence of the several public and private acts of Congress, and of the several treaties therein contained, in all the courts of law and equity and maritime jurisdiction, and in all the tribunals and public offices of the United States and of the several States, without any further proof or authentication thereof.”—<inline class="smallCaps">Approved,</inline> August 8, 1846.</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 Little &amp; Brown 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>
<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, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to renew the contract of October thirty-first, eighteen hundred and fifty, between the Department of State and Little, Brown, and Company, of Boston, Massachusetts, for the annual publication of the Statutes at Large of the United States until otherwise ordered by Congress, in conformity with the joint resolutions approved respectively March third, eighteen hundred and forty-five, and September <i>thirtieth</i> [twenty-sixth], eighteen hundred and fifty.”—<inline class="smallCaps">Approved,</inline> March 31, 1866.</p>

Wetmore, upon trust; that the assignees should retain possession of the said vessels and employ them in execution of the contract, and if, after the expiration of one year from the commencement of the performance of the service under the contract, the assignees should have failed to repay in money, or to refund out of one year’s compensation, such outstanding balance due and unpaid or unrefunded of such advances as the Secretary of the Navy might have made prior to the end of one year from the commencement of the performance of the said service, then the said Wetmore was, after advertising for six months the time and place of sale, to sell the said steamships at public auction, and out of the proceeds pay (1) the expenses of the trust, (2) the balances of advances due the United States, and (3) the surplus to the assignees; and whereas the said deed of mortgage is still binding on the “Atlantic,” one of the said steamships; and whereas a large amount is still due on the said mortgage for expenses incurred in executing the trust, which amount it is claimed the government is liable for; and whereas the sale of the said steamship “Atlantic” has been duly advertised according to the terms of the mortgage, but never sold: Therefore,</recital>

<recital class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Whereas it is understood that a portion of the Sissiton and Warpeton bands of Santee Sioux Indians, numbering from twelve hundred to fifteen hundred persons, not only preserved their obligations to the government of the United States, during and since the outbreak of the Medewakantons and other bands of Sioux in 1862, but freely perilled their lives during that outbreak to rescue the residents on the Sioux reservation, and to obtain possession of white women and children made captives by the hostile bands; and that another portion of said Sissiton and Warpeton bands, numbering from one thousand to twelve hundred persons, who did not participate in the massacre of the whites in 1862, fearing the indiscriminate vengeance of the whites, fled to the great prairies of the northwest, where they still remain ; and</recital>
<recital class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Whereas Congress, in confiscating the Sioux annuities and reservations, made no provision for the support of these, the friendly portion of the Sissiton and Warpeton bands, and it is believed [that] they have been suffered to remain homeless wanderers, frequently subject to intense suffering from want of subsistence and clothing to protect them from the rigors of a high northern latitude, although at all times prompt in rendering service when called upon to repel hostile raids and to punish depredations committed by hostile Indians upon the persons and property of the whites; and</recital>
<recital class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Whereas the several subdivisions of the friendly Sissitons and Warpeton bands ask, through their representatives, that their adherence to their former obligations of friendship to the government and people of the United States be recognized, and that provision be made to enable them to return to an agricultural life and be relieved from a dependence upon the chase for a precarious subsistence : therefore,

their laws for protection against resident aliens, whose residence endangers peace and order in the land, are not affected by the treaty. In particular the regulation contained in the second clause of the tenth article of the Bavarian military law of the 30th of January, 1868, according to which Bavarians emigrating from Bavaria before the fulfilment of their military duty cannot be admitted to a permanent residence in the land till they shall have become thirty-two years old, is not affected by the treaty. But yet it is established and agreed, that by the expression “permanent residence” used in the said article, the above described emigrants are not forbidden to undertake a journey to Bavaria for a less period of time and for definite purposes, and the royal Bavarian government moreover cheerfully declares itself ready, in all cases in which the emigration has plainly taken place in good faith, to allow a mild rule in practice to be adopted.</content>

<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The article fourth shall accordingly have only this meaning, that the adopted country of the emigrant cannot prevent him from acquiring once more his former citizenship; but not that the state to which the emigrant originally belonged is bound to restore him at once to his original relation.</p>

Dochwird hierbei anerkannt, dass, wenn ein Bayer des bayerischen Indigenates, oder andererseits ein Amerikaner der amerikanischen Staatsangehörigkeit, in der gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Weise von der Regierung seines bisherigen Vaterlandes entlassen worden ist, <i>und</i> sodann die Naturalization in dem anderen Staate in rechtlicher Weise und vollkommen giltig erlangt hat, dann ein noch hinzukommender fünf jähriger Aufenthalt <i>nicht</i> mehr erforderlich sein soll, sondern ein solcher Naturalisirter vom Momente seiner Naturalization an, als bayerischer, und umgekehrt, amerikanischer Angehöriger erachtet und behandelt werden soll.</content>

Der Artikel IV. soll demnach nur die Bedeutung haben, dass derjenige Staat, in welchem der Ausgewanderte die neue Staatsangehbrigkeit erworben hat, diesen nicht hindern kann, die frühere Staatsangehörigkeit wieder zurückzuerwerben; nicht aber, dass der Staat, welchem der Ausgewanderte früher angehört hat, denselben auch sofort wieder zurücknehmen miisse.

<recital class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10"><sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Vol. xiii. p. 758.</p> </sidenote>And whereas the President of the United States did, on the twenty-ninth day of May, anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, issue a further proclamation with the same objects before mentioned, and to the end that the authority of the Government of the United States might he restored, and that peace, order, and freedom might be established, and the President did, by the said last-mentioned proclamation, proclaim and declare that he thereby granted to all persons who had directly or indirectly participated in the then existing rebellion, except as therein excepted, amnesty and pardon, with restoration of all rights of property, except as to slaves, and except in certain cases where legal proceedings had been instituted, but upon condition that such persons should take and subscribe an oath therein prescribed, which oath should be registered for permanent preservation;</recital>
<recital class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">And whereas, in and by the said last-mentioned proclamation of the twenty-ninth day of May, anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, fourteen extensive classes of persons, therein specially described, were altogether excepted and excluded from the benefits thereof;</recital>

<recital class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">And whereas large standing armies, military occupation, martial law, military tribunals, and the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus and the right of trial by jury, are, in time of peace, dangerous to public liberty, incompatible with the individual rights of the citizen, contrary to the genius and spirit of our free institutions, and exhaustive of the national resources, and ought not, therefore, to be sanctioned or allowed, except in cases of actual necessity for repelling invasion or suppressing insurrection or rebellion;</recital>

<recital class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">And whereas, for these reasons, it is now deemed essential to the public welfare, and to the more perfect restoration of constitutional law and order, that the said last-mentioned proclamation, so as aforesaid issued on the twenty-ninth day of May, anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, should be modified, and that the full and beneficent pardon conceded thereby should be opened and further extended to a large number of the persons who, by its aforesaid exceptions, have been hitherto excluded from executive clemency:</recital>

<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10"><sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Day of national thanksgiving and praise appointed for Nov. 28, 1867.</p></sidenote><inline class="smallCaps">In</inline> conformity with a recent custom, that may now be regarded as established on national consent and approval, I, ANDREW JOHNSON, President of the United States, do hereby recommend to my fellow-citizens, that Thursday, the twenty-eighth day of November next, be set apart and observed throughout the Republic as a day of National Thanksgiving and praise to the Almighty Ruler of Nations, with whom are dominion and fear, who maketh peace in His high places.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">Resting and refraining from secular labors on that day, let us reverently and devotedly give thanks to our Heavenly Father for the mercies and blessings with which He has crowned the now closing year. Especially let us remember that He has covered our land through all its extent, with greatly needed and very abundant harvests; that he has caused industry to prosper, not only in our fields, but also in our workshops, in our mines, and in our forests. He has permitted us to multiply ships upon our lakes and rivers, and upon the high seas, and at the same time to extend our iron roads so far into the secluded places of the Continent as to guarantee speedy overland intercourse between the two oceans. He has inclined our hearts to turn away from the domestic contentions and commotions consequent upon a distracting and desolating civil war, and to walk more and more in the ancient ways of loyalty, conciliation, and brotherly love. He has blessed the peaceful efforts with which we have established new and important commercial treaties with foreign nations, while we have at the same time strengthened our national defenses, and greatly enlarged our national borders.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">While thus rendering the unanimous and heartfelt tribute of national praise and thanksgiving which is so justly due to Almighty God, let us not fail to im-<page identifier="/us/stat/15/702">702</page>plore Him that the same Divine protection and care which we have hitherto so undeservedly, and yet so constantly, enjoyed, may be continued to our country and our people throughout all their generations forever.</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="firstIndent1 fontsize10">Done at the city of Washington, this twenty-sixth day of October, in <inline class="smallCaps">[seal.]</inline> the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States the ninety-second.</p>

Our highways have been lengthened, and new and prolific regions have been occupied. We are permitted to hope that long protracted political and sectional dissensions are at no distant day to give place to returning harmony and fraternal affection throughout the Republic. Many foreign states have entered into liberal agreements with us, while nations which are far off, and which heretofore have been unsocial and exclusive, have become our friends.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">The annual period of rest, which we have reached in health and tranquility, and which is crowned with so many blessings, is by universal consent a convenient and suitable one for cultivating personal piety and practicing public devotion.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">I therefore recommend that Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of November next, be set apart, and observed by all the people of the United states, as a day for public praise, thanksgiving, and prayer to the Almighty Creator and Divine Ruler of the Universe, by whose ever-watchful, merciful, and gracious providence alone, states and nations, no less than families and individual men, do live and move and have their being.</p>
