(June
19, 1812) Proclamation
of War by President Madison, June 19
1812 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE United States of America, A PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS the Congress of the United
States, by virtue of the Constituted
Authority vested in them, have declared
by their act, hearing date the
eighteenth day of the present month,
that WAR exists between the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
and the dependencies thereof, and the
United States of America and their
territories; Now, therefore, I, JAMES
MADISON, President of the United States
of America, do hereby proclaim the same
to all whom it may concern: and I do
specially enjoin on all persons holding
offices, civil or military, under the
authority of the United States, that
they be vigilant and zealous, on
discharging the duties respectively
incident thereto: And I do moreover
exhort all the good people of the
United States, as they love their
country; as they value the precious
heritage derived from the virtue and
valor of their fathers; as they feel
the wrongs which have forced on them
the last resort of injured nations; and
as they consult the best means, under
the blessing of Divine Providence, of
abridging its calamities; that they
exert themselves in preserving order,
in promoting concor?, in maintaining
the authority and the efficacy of the
laws, and in supporting and
invigorating all the measures which may
be adopted by the constituted
Authorities, for obtaining a speedy, a
just, and an honorable peace. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF I have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed to these
presents. DONE at the City of Washington, the
nineteenth day of June, one thousand
eight hundred and twelve, and of the
Independence of the United States the
thirty-sixth. JAMES MADISON By the President, "The
