this occasion, In the last moments OF a protrae-
ted and labOrioas session Of The General As. h
sembly. from dong myself the pleasure of bear
ing testimony 10 the truth Of this resolution-l,
am sure that no gentleman who has been pre-.
cent during this session can suspect me Of

when lsay that the conduct Of our Speaker |
throughout the entire term Of his arduoas and |
responsible service. has been uniformly distin.
guished for its ability, dignity. kindness, for. \
bearance and impartiality. So eminently true \

member can look. which requires the slightest
modification OF the eommenda tion | have ex-
pressed And believe there is not one occa- I
sion shown by the journals in which the acts Of
the Speaker have not stood as the judgment Of
the House. May il ever be the happiness Of
our beloved Commonwealth TO have in this i'm |
portant position the same distinguished fidelity
and ability and, in parting. permit me TO say
/ that there is no member upon this floor with
whom do not part with recollections Of es.
