the sea which has been filled and adorned
Ito say nothing of my more Immediate pre-
decessors,) by an Adams, Jefferson, u Ger
/ ry, a Clinton, ard Tompkins-names that,
aithough belonging to the dead, still live in
the recollection OF u grateful country-is an
honor Of which any man would have lust
cause to be proud. But this honor is great
ly augmented by the consideration of the true
character of this body-by the high order of
intellectual and moral powers which has dis
| tlnguished 1t in all past time, and which still
distinguishes it-by the dignity which has
for the most part marked its proceedings; and
above all by the important duties which have
devolved upon it under the Constitution.
Here are to be found the immediate represen-
tasives oil the States, by whose will the Gov
eminent has been spoken into existence.
Here exists that perfect equality among the
members of the Confederacy, which gives
to the smallest State in the Union voice as
potential as that of the largest. To this body
is committed, in an eminent degree, the great
trust of guarding and protecting the institu-
tions handed down to us from our fathers, as
well against the waves of popular and rash
impulses on the one hand, as against attempts
at Executive encroachment on the other. Ii
may properly be regarded as holding the bal
ance,in which is weighed the powers conceded
to this Government, and the rights reserved
to the States and to the People. II is its
province to concede what has been granted,
to withhold what has been denied thus, in
allits features exhibiting true type of the
glorious Confederacy under which it is our
happiness to live. Should the spirit of fac
tien-that destructive spirit which reckless
iy walks over PROSTATE rights and tramples
laws and Constitutions in the dust-evor find
an abiding place within this hall, then indeed
will a sentence of condemnation be issued a.
gainst the peace and happiness of this people,
and their political institutions be made to
topple to their foundations. But while this
body shall continue to be what by its trainers
it was designed TO be-delberative in its cha
racter, unbiased in its course, and indepen-
dent in its action-then may liberty be re-
garded as eEtrenched in safety behind the sa-
cred ramparts of the Constitution. While I
occupy this chair, Senators, / shall have fire.
quent occasion to invoke your indulgence for
my defects, and your charity for my errors. 1
am but little skilled in parliamentary law,
and have been unused to preside over delibe-
rative assemblies. All that can urge in ex-
cuse for my defects is, that bring with me
to this chair an earnest wish to discharge
properly its duties, and fixed determination
to preside over your deliberations with entire
impartialiiy.
