my bosom. Ine origin OF THESE grateful Sentl-
meats is not to DO found merely in the inhuen-
ess of this hour when we are contemplating a
separation. No, they had their home and
dwelling place in my heart during the period of
our association. That same kindness Of feeling
which is now expressed in the resolution has
has been uniformly and constantly exhibited
during the entire session. 1t has at all times
been apparent that it was the fixed purpose and
desire Of Senators to render my duties easy and
pleasant. That purpose has been accomplished.
The oppressive embarrassments and painful anx-
ieties that clustered around the station that
was to occnpy, were early dissipated by your
sympathy and kindness All that generous aid
and support, which solicited at your hands,
and more than had right to anticipate, has
been kindly and promptly rendered. am not in
sensible to the fact that owe whatever of success
has attended my labor to your kind cooperation
] trust that your magnanimity is duly appreciat-
ed and let me assure you, that it will be long
remembered, for it is deeply cngraven on my
heart. My association with you, gentlemen,
during the short period of this session, has been
to me, through your kind Offices, pleasant and
highly gratifying And now to say that |
cherish towards each Of you sentiments Of sin
oere respect, is language too tame and feeble to

sentiments Of friendship and gratitude which
cherish towards all the members Of this Senate
will not pass away with this occasion. No, they
will be garnerd up with other precious friend
ships, and will cling to this heart until its VI
brations cease. In all my recollections OF the
past, the scenes which are about to close will
be among the events of most pleasant memory.
Though no concentrations from me can be OF
any Importance to you, feel impelled to say
that in my Judgment, your gentlemanly and
uncomfortable department with each other and
with all who congregate at the capital, and the
high and worthy motives by which you have
at ali times seemed to be actuated, and the abil
ity with which you have transacted the business
of tho session, is sure guaranty that the honor
and dignity of the Vermont Senate is fully pre-
served and maintained. The desire expressed
at the opening of the session that it might be
marked by an absence of all asperity of feeling
and of debate, has been fully realized. Con
Hcts of opinion are inseperable from the halls
Of legislation the surface of feeling will some
times be ruAled, and it has often been u source
Of pleasure to witness that interesting fact, that
differences of private opinion may exist with the
warmest personal friendship.
Permit me, gentlemen, from the heart, to
wish you pleasant and safe return to the en-
dearments Of family and home.
Human life is such feeting varor, its atten-
uated thread is 80 brittle, that we must be con-
strained to suppress the hope that we shall all
meet again on earth; in view OF this serious
consideration, would be allowed to say that 1t
will DO my humble but earnest prayer that when
these bodies are consigned to the cold damp
grave, our names may be found enrolled in the
"book of hfe," and we be admitted to seats in
