| No great policy Of State can be
accomplished, except by the consent
Of the people with the concnrr cnt
will Of the large majority of the
people.
Our allegiance is our own. Our
Interests arc the Same. Our danger
is common. Let us endeayor to as.
simulate our opinions.
Not to mention secession ty Sc.
parate State action, now lifeless, and
no more to lie resuscitatcd Tor good /,
nor corporations, which few will
, maintain he possibility Of obtaining
from the Sruthcrn States. unless our
people are prepared to present ali
undivided front in advance-wita,
divisions among our people, with dis.
cord and personal jealousy among
their trusted men-we shall moi
only be defencelcss in fact, but will
be placing the State in q condition to
invite aggression against her peculiar
policy, her institutions, her honor.
But 1 must not dwell ON these
thoughts. They arc such as must
have occurred to most Of you if / had
not suggested them. Let me entrcat
yoa not TO suppress them, but give
them thcir ilaucnce over your
motives, and ample room in your bo-
SONS to expand into activity.
Our business now is 10 part. The
duty devolves on me to dissolve
the session Of this branch vf the
General Assembly.
We pant here, aud withdraw FROM
these walls of representative duty, to
seek the business and the s,lace OF
lvnncstic life, lt
May you safely reach your several
destinations. In the confidence of
an enlightened constituency, and in
the blessed rcposc of horie, may you
~ full recompense for the p,.i.
''air'ons which are incident to a
faithful performance of ypur public
duties. Farewell.
