"a az Chief sgis'rate u our Sisie.
Hesored, That the concurrence q the Senate hereby
Resoloed, That certified copy Of the above re.oiu
tons be delivered to His Excell ney befre his
from the State.
Mr. BUSKIRK desired simply to say, that
on an occasion OF this kind it was due aud be-
coming that whatever OF the bitterness Of party
feeling may have existed between u and Gov
ernor Morton. il should all be repress ed and for
gotten. whilst We now sympathize with him In
bis sff ctiOn: and he trusted these resolutions
would be adopted without dissenting voice.
Mr NEWC0MB The House having heard
OF the indi-position OF The Governor, which in
duces his temporary withdrawal from the Ex-
ecu'ive office, we should all part with him,
though il may be but for brief time, with sad
ness: for his presence here has constantly re-
hscied honor upon the State; and whatever diff
ieIeness OF opiaion may have obtained with
reference TO the policy of his Aus all will con-
ccde to him the purpose and design to bring
4hn in ffas IL =
the State. aud that which rebounds TO her honor
He felt assured that, net only amongst our con-
stltuent' and fellow citizens who have trod the
paths OF peace, but amongst those who have
maintained the dignity and honor of the nation
on the fields OF blood. this intelligence will
come with equal sadness He was glad that A
political opponent of the Governor had intro
duced these resolutions He rcIoiced that the
Governor, in leaving US. will leave with the re-
spect OF those who thought they had good
ground to fad fault with some of his official
acts; and, with the gentleman from Monroe, he
trusted that there would be no dissenting vote
on tue passage Of the resolutions
Mr. LASSELLE On occasions of this kind
political differences ought never to intervene
Governor Morton Il the Executive OF the State.
He has, so far rs this body Is concerned, treated
Us with uniform courtesy and kindness. Aud il
is nothing but simple duty to sympsthize with
him, more especially when he needs il sincerely
sympathzc with the Governor, aud hope, as this
resolution expresses IL. that he may soon return
TO Us with health restored. The resolution il
couched IN proper terms and nothing but what IS
due TO the Governor at this time I shall sim
cerely support il
Mr. WRIGHT. IA one who knows some
thing OF the feeling Of respect that is cherished
Tor Gov. Morton amongst those who have been
his supporters in the army for four years and
more, not only in the State Of Indiana but in the
State OF Illinois. and in every State. can ties
THY that he has their highest regards, and that
he has the respect and love not only Of the
wounded aud disabled, but Of those who have
been so fortunate N TO return In safety 10 their
homes and that their profoundest wishes for
his welfare will follow him He, too, was glad
TO see the Governors political friends and CD
posers concurIng here in regrets that he ia TO
