The representatives of consti uency that arc
remarkable for their respect to the Constitution.
Laws and love of order driven by force of circum.
stances, to take respective positions in this BODY 4
that prevented the organization of the Sonata. CHI

poll ica Parties Gin which,-we are u.rFY. rsr--j
div!ded) conceding part of that Which was deslI
able to both. he. lftsis' ia
1t is gratifying to see, tnat we have met thn

mans, who have resolved to rescue the character
of our beloved State from the rpproach that might
have been cast upon it, by remaining longer in tho
situation in which we have been placed, since
Monday. .-
The only matter of regret is, that the honor Of
presiding over this distinguished body, has been
cast upon myself TO me it is source of embar.
rassment md sincere regret 1t is position did
not seek or aspire to, but as it has been the plea
sure OF the Senate to impose this responsibilities up.
on me, in order to harmonise conflicting interest,"
feel bound to accept and shall endeavor to dis
charge the duties OF your presiding officer, with tho
strictest impartiality and with other view than
TO advance the interest of the State.
In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me to return
toyou my most profound Acknowledgements, tor
