Remarks of the Hon. Charles. H. Nor

House of Representatives of the State Of Lou.
isiana, January II, 1860:
Gentlemen Of the House of Rpresentahues-Wa
are now about to organize, agreeably to tho
Constitution and laws of the State, and to en-
ter upon the active discharge of the trust con-
6ded to US by our constituents. The trust is
an important one; important on account Of
our local interests to the State at large, aud
perhaps to the whole Union certainly to tho
South.
Measures will no doubt be proposed touch-
ing our National relations, for which bespeak
your calm and deliberate attention, and Of
which, however, it is not my province'to speak
at length on this occasion. Our local AMI
State matters should, of right, receive that At
tention due them and ourselves, as Represent
tatives, and be approved Or rejected, rs their
several merits may dictate.
Gentlemen Of the Democratic party We,
who have, by the will of the people Of the
State, constitutionally expressed, been sent
here in majority sufficient to control the &C.
ton of the House, will be looked to by the
country, State and Nation, and held responsible
for its acts. This will be but just
Let us, therefore, under the guidance and
favor Of that divine protection which has al
ways been vouchsafad to our State and Union,
endeavor to discharge our duties with zeal

reposed in us.
In conclusion, gentlemen, allow me to return
you my sincere thanks for the kind .partiality
manifested towards myself, in elerating ME to
the position Of your chief presiding officer, and
to assure you that no effort on my part, will
be wanting in the dispatch and proper dis
charge of our public duty.
