years. When tirst made bis acquaintance, was not
associated with him in any public capacity; but even
then formed high estimate of his character. And
that estimate has been confirmed by his bearing
as legislator and the presiding officer OF this

Those expressions received warmly as they were
given. While | shall probably never cease TO ex-
press my warm attachment Ia Republican principles,
am sure that this attachment will never interfere
with the social relations of life. These relations which
have grown up during our legislative association, have

heart acts, and the emotions perform their offices.
But one incident had occurred during the session TO be
remembered with regret-the difficulty which has
been referred 10 this evening. But Is pleasant TO
know that that incident has left feelings of lasting
anmosity. The parties have been reconciled; and
at this last hour of the session. spirit of harmony
and good feeling exists mutually gratifying to all who
have been intimately associated together for th'
last hundred days.
