SdIu ~ rs inc sduCtudTy OI l<iDeVy, duu
Law, and Order; and justly repose on il
with unlimited confidence and affection.
In its deliberations and proceedings, IS
essentially involved the security of our
free institutions. How much, gentle
men, will depend upon the manner iu
which it's high duties shall be perform
ed! Nor is it needlu, ] am sure, that
should admonsh you that you are the re-
representatives. Of our whole country, and
not Of art; that our Confederation
can only exist and prosper under the in
fuence Of a wise, equal, and just systems
Of legislation;-by the ties Of common
interest and brotherly affection;-by
spirit Of mutual forbearance and mode
ration; and by chershng a hailowed de-
votion to that Liberty and Union secured
TO us by the blood Of our common fathers.
These are the foundations upon which
alone our safety and security can rest
Although our country, Of late, gentle
men, has been deeply and painfully ex~
cited, and our councils too greatly divid-
ed, may we not hope that the causes Of
excitement are daily passing off and sub
siding, and that peace and tranquility
will again be restored to us AT such
time, and under such circ umstances, is
it not the duty Of every wise, and lber~
al, and good man, in public or private
life, without distinction of party, to unite
for the purpose Of healing these divisions
and giving peace and repose to the pub
lie mind? And should not those espe-
cially, who WELD the public councils,
pour oil upon this stormy sea, and still it's
troubled waters | invoke you, gentle
men, to peace and harmony: to union
and action for the common good. The
people expect 1.-THE prosperity and hap
piness Of your country demand it. God
grant that you may prove yourselves
worthy Of the high trust, and equal to
the crisis; and that your labors NAV ulti~
matey prove successful in giving peace
and repose to our beloved country.
/ This is the last time that l shall ever
address you from this Chair we sepa-
rate, this day, many, very many Of US
to meet no more. pray to God TO pro-
+ tect and bless you: and / tender to youy
!, this, my last and afIectionate farewell.
