have done, feel themselves in some degree affected on
its termination, what must his feelings be who was the
object of their solicitude and their choice? To ths ho-
nourable Court I beg to return my most cordial thanks
for the honour they have conferred on me, and to the
end of my life I most feel the warmest gratitude towards
those friends to whose exertions I am indebted for the
situation its which I am placed. Towards those by
whom I have been opposed, I can have no feelings to
express but that of thanks for the manner its which their
opposition had beets conducted, and it shall be the pride
of my life to evince, by my conduct, that, in dischargimg
the duties of the high (Alice, to which l aus elected, I
shall forget every thing like party feeling, every political
feeling, every feeling of private friendship. To my
friends I shall always feel grateful ; hot its their just esti-
mation I shall best prove my gratitude by an impartial
arid faithful discharge of my duties. 1 could tint by
lengthening this address, do any thing like justice its the
feelings of my heart, bus I am satisfied tite candour and
kindness of the Court will give we credit for what I am
unable to express."
