The Senate and House of Represents
tves have adjourned, a few minutes ago,
and the 2Sth Congress- with all its sins

aome remarks from Mr. BoyIy. of Va. the
Yeas and Nays were ordered-Yers 1876;

Gcnttemen Of The House Of Represen-
tlttctS The period has arrived " hch
terminates oar Iabors as members of the
28tf Congress. We are soon 10 part per-
haps to meet no more forever Before |
perform the last act which separates US,
permit me to return to you my thanks for
the kindness manifested in the vote which
Won passed short time since. Your ap>
provaI is the highest honor which | could
look for in return for my humble service
eS.
The duties OF such an Office, always de,
Icate, always arduous, have often made
Inc consider whether the honor conferred
equals the cares it imposes. lis trappiogs
may be seen by ALL but its cares aud anX,-
cites few see or can appreciate.
may have often erred, but your kind-
ness strengthens the hope that it was only
failing Of the head, no; Of the heart
This kindness and lis testimonial, will
cherish and keep as one Of the most valu-
ed "reminiscences Of my Iife-one of the
highest honors ever received.
The power Of Legislation is rcspon,
sible one. Particularly has it been so on
this occason--on one extreme OF our coun-
try great empire has been added, our
Laws have been extended, as far as this
House is concerned, over people beyonc
the rocky Mountains, and Iowa and Flor
ida, twin sisters, have been added 10 III,
States Of the Unon. II were too much
to expect that these things should be done
without some feeling yet frost that TIT
fire that may have been kinded, abon
these exciting topics, will be like the sparl
OF the flint, extinguished almost as soon
kinded.
May health and happiness attend yoI
through life, and may you return TO you
friends in safety and peace.
1t now remains for me TO announc,
that this House stands adjourned SINE DIFF
