is due also to my own feelings, not to cease to
appear before you In my official capacity With
out the uttcrance Of q few appropriate words
OF parting sslutation.
Your honors sit here 10 administer Justice In
us e highest seats, having no array Of martial
iorce around you, no authority Of Executive
power, no supreme legislative control over the
treasuresor the political direction ofthe affairs
OF the Union. Your Is not the gauntleted
nano OF the soldier, nor yours the voice which
anas armies, rules cabinets, or leads
Senates; but, though you are none of these,
yet you are backed by all of them Theirs 3
the external power which sustains your moral
authority; you are the incarnate mind of the
political body Of the nation. In the oomnIex
institutions OF our country you are the pivot
point upon which the rights and liberties of
all, Government and people alike, turn or
rather you are the central light Of constitu-
tional wisdom around which they perpetuaIIv
revolve. Long may this Court retain the con-
hdence OF our country as the great conserya-
tors, not Of the public peace only, but of the
sanctity and integrity of the Constitution
As the supreme appellate tribunal Of the coun-

ference for them which follows long line of

organic laws Of the Union.
These are public considerations II will

to add personal remark, which is, that re-
tirs from my place here with profound respect
and with grateful regard for each one Of your
honors.
