_By the President of the United States of America._
Whereas great and weighty matters claiming the consideration
of the Congress of the United States form an extraordinary
occasion for convening them, I do by these presents appoint
Monday the twenty-sixth day of October next for their meeting
at the City of Washington; hereby requiring the respective
Senators and Representatives then and there to assemble in
Congress, in order to receive such communications as may then
be made to them, and to consult and determine on such measures
as in their wisdom may be deemed meet for the welfare of the
United States.
In testimony whereof, I have caused the seal of the United
States to be hereunto affixed, and signed the same with my hand.
Done at the city of Washington, the thirtieth day of July, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven, and
in the thirty-second year of the Independence of the United
States.
[L.S.]
