ADDRESS OF MR.. coLFAx. Js.As
Gent lsmenof the House Of Representatives :
To-day will be marked IN American his
tory as the opening Of Congress destined
to face and settle the most important ques-
tions of the country, and during whose ex-
istence the rebellion, which has passed into
elimination, will, beyond all question
thanks to our army and navy and Admins
tration-die deserved death.
Not only will your constituents watch
with tho stretestsc your deliberations
here, but the friends of liberty to the most
distant lands, will be interested spectators
of your acts.
In this greater than Roman forum, in
woke you to approach these grave questions
with the calm th0ughtfulness Of statesmen
freeing your discussions from that acerbity
which mars instead of advancing, Ilegisla'
ton, and with mistaken reliance on the Di-
vine Power which gave victory to those
who framed this Union, and can give even
greater victory to those who are seeking to
save it from destruction by the hand OF the
parricade and traitor. invoke you also to
remember that sacred truth, which all his
tory verifies, that they who rule not to
Righteousness shall perish from the earth. ,
Thanking you with a grateful heart for
this distinguished mark Of your confidence
and regard, and appealing to you all for
that support and forbearance, by the aid Of
which alone can hope to succeed, | am
now ready to take the oath of office and
enter upon the duties you have assigned
