"Allusion has been made to the interest felt
in relation to the policy of the new Admins
tration; on this | have received from some
q degree of credit for keeping silent, and
from others some depreciation. L still think
was right. In the varying and repeatedly
shifting scenes of the present. without pre-
cedence which could enable us to Judge by
the past, it has seemed fitting that before
speaking of the difficulties of the country, |
should have gained a view of the whole
field to be sure, and after all being at liberty
to modify and change the course of policy
as future events may make a change neces-
sary. have not maintained silence from
any want of real anxiety. 1t isa good thing
that there is no more than anxiety, for there
is nothing wrong. 1t is copsoling circum-
stance that when we look out there is moth
ing that really hurts any body; we entertain
different views upon political questions, but
nobody is suffering. This is most con-
soling circumstance, and from it we may
conclude that all we want is time, patience
and reliance in that God who has never
forsaken this people. ...
"Fellow- citizens, what have said, have
said altogether extemporaneously and will
now come TO a close"
After this speech both houses adjourned
