You will, therefore, request your congregation to unite in fervent prayers for the preservation of the Union and the peace of the country. For this intention, we exhort them to say, each day, at least one Our Father and one Hail Mary; to observe with great strictness the Fast-days of this holy season; to prepare themselves for the worthy reception of the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist, at or before Christmas; to give alms generally to the poor, and to turn their whole hearts in all humility to God.

They were made one of the several pretexts sought by the conspirators for rebellion; and yet some of the bolder ones, who did not care for a pretext, denied that opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law was a grievance to be complained of. The secession of South Carolina, said Robert Barnwell Rhett (the most malignant and unscrupulous of the conspirators in that State), in the Secession Convention, is not an event of a day.

This is no time for noisy disputants to lead us, wrote Bishop Lay, at Fort Smith, Arkansas. We should ask counsel of the experienced, the sober, the God-fearing men among us. We may follow peace, and yet guard our country's rights; nor should we, in concern for our own, forget the rights and duties of others. Pastoral Letter of Bishop Henry C. Lay, December 6, 1860.--In our public congregations, in our family worship, in each heart's private prayers, wrote Bishop McIlvaine, of Ohio, I solemnly feel that it is a time for all to beseech God to have mercy upon our country — not to deal with us according to our sins — not to leave us to our own wisdom and might — to take the counsels of our senators and legislators; and all in authority, into His own guidance and government.

Committees were appointed by each House to inform the President of its organization, and readiness to receive any communication from him. These reported that he would send in to them a written message at noon on Tuesday. During the administrations of George Washington and John Adams, the message or speech of the President, at the opening of each session of Congress, was read to them by the Chief Magistrate in person. Mr. Jefferson abandoned this practice when he came into office, because it seemed to be a too near imitation of the practice of the monarchs of England in thus opening the sessions of Parliament in person. At the appointed hour, the President's private Secretary, A. J. Glossbrenner, appeared below the bar of the Senate, and announced that he was there by direction of the Chief Magistrate, to deliver to the Senate a message in writing. The House of Representatives also received it. It was read to both
