Gentlemen Of the Senate:
Our labors are about to close, and
though anxious to return to our homes
this anxiety is no doubt mingled with
many regrets atthe separation which Is
about to take place. Our session from
its opening to its closing hour this even
ing, has been one of unusual industry
and harmony. It was not to be ex-
pectad that all should see alike as to
Ene pun
which we have been called TO act, but
in all these differences, honestly enter
tanned, the dignity of the Senate and
TINT courtesy due from one member to
another have been strictly observed.
Independence in the discharge ofduty
Is most commendable feature in the
proceedings of the present session.
Swerving neither to the right hand nor
tho left, you allowed to pass unDoticed
all outside efforts to intimidate, and,
very properly, viewed in silence the
studied vftuperntion SO persistently APP
piled to the present Legislature. You
have fearlessly represented the inter-
ests, and spoken the voice OF your con-
stituency, 10 whom alone you are res
ponsible.
The labors of the forty-fiye days for
which we have been together, have
been much greater than those of any
session since the formation of our State.
Whether our action will prove as wise,
as the labor has been great, the people
will Judge, and time determine. Ofthis
much we are certain, that the continued
separate existence of West Virginia, as
n State in the Union, the education of
her children, and the application of her
great natural wealth to the uses of its
creation, are tile living idens of every
Important law passed upon during our
present sitting. am confident that
to actuate 0ach of us, wherever our lot
in life may be cast hereafter.
| cannot let this opportunity pass
without expressing my most sincere
thanks to the members and officers OF
the Senate, for their uniform kindness
to myself; notannnkind word, not the
slightest discourtesy has ever been
10 me, as your presiding
officer. The dispatch OF business and
the decorum which prevailed are the
result more of your moderation and
cooperation, than any efforts of my
own. Wishing you all success in life,
and thanking yon once more, pro-
nounce this Senate adjourned sine dc.
