ubc men of ON times. Ii has seldom happen
Ila those occupying similar SITUATIONS, whether IN
rfltrence to the general or state governments nave
shown under such circumstance equal patriotism
and DEVOTION TO the public interests; aud IN the as
sumption Of authority vi ich has been exercised on
my part Executive OF the State, am conscious oil
having been Influenced by honest views ottle inef-
ts of the people for whom have acted, together /
with what due, under such circumstances, 10 a
well tried and faithful public servant. And IN as |
s1ming the responsibility which belongs 10 the sta

conceived the just aud generous character Of tie peo-
Ile Of the State that Of their Senators nthe 1t

ammaes them towards the public Servants WHO Have
rendered faithful and important serv ceS toonr con-
