it was contrary to his expectation that his nam,
was presented, much less did he expect that il
would be so favorably regarded by the General AS.
'sembly.
So far as the appointment evinces their conf

beers OF the Assembly his most grateful acknowl
Judgments.
But having been previously appointed Judge o
the County Court for Hartford County, and bu
late yesterday to the office of Assistant Commits

Very respectfully.

ONCE TO such judicial officers We're present, who
had been appointed during the present, who had
been appointed during the present session, address
ed the Assembly as follows
mr.. Pres'dens anu Gentlemen of the Senate-
y IM'. Speaker and Gentlemen Of the House
- Of Representatives:
After session o: unusual harmony and freedom
from party asperity, the public business is now
brought to close and am happy in the belief
that, on candid and unprecedented review of the
measures which have been adopted. ou- constitu-
>ents will find much to approve, and, hope, little
to condemn.
When all are alike Influenced BY pure and pa
triotic motives, and unbiased by interest or par
tv prejudice, such is, nevertheless, the constitu-
ton of the human mind, that entire unanimty OF
sentiment or action, cannot nationally be anticipa-
ted.
Much less could we have reason to expect while
legisatng on the great and diversified interests of
"a divided constituency, which have passed under
consideration, during the present session, an
exemption from occasional conflicts of opinion, or
from the warmth of discussion to which they nat
uraly give rise.
But nothing, trust, has occurred, which can
tend permanently TO impair the relations Of mutu
al kindness and good will with which we assem-
'bed.
If we have failed to satisfy the expectations or
desires of all, doubt not that the genera! result
of our lahors will be found to be promotve of the
public good.
If on the other hand. it shall be thought by any
that exceeded our constitutional powers to their
prejudice, it must be Of satisfaction to us
ALL to feel that the people have established an i'm
partial judicial tribunal for their resort, who will
not Tail to administer with 6rmness and ability tho
paramount law Of the land.
Allow me, gentlemen at parting, TO tender TO
Won all, the assurance Of my respect, and my best
wishes for your individual prosperity and hapPi-
ness. Co.,
tary Of State by his order, adjourned the Assembly
sine die.
