tive. TO prcs-ri cur Hon. Speaker wins
testimonial Of tie estimation in which w-
bod him a. a man and asa Speak T. and
with permission Of the comran, Will max.
the presentation now.
As there s. EN- TO be cea,r.l wish
that the presentation should tx place 1T
once, the Hon. Mr.. McCiw wa. called
uron, and soon produced a !ar.e covered
bask-t, containing the testimonial, Mr..
Hcary then proceeded with his remarks.
In making this presentation, l speak by
express authority for the Democratic mem
hers OF thu House. who ar" soc'nnly bound
to endorse everything may have TO say.
Whit we have no reason TO doubt that
the sen iments which l am directed to cx-
press are equally those Of your partisan
friends, we considered tia. the testimonial
might b. mot acceptable off red in this
manner. The genuine soldier, either in
war or politics. wages war upon principle
only. ii. spares 10 ono who assaults the
banner which he follows. He strikes no
blow but such as advance tho cause under
which he has enlisted. He hollis no ami
mostly towards thu opponent who has met
him fairly. He has no motive to reproach
such Tor faults they do not possess. for or
rors they have not com nittcd neither
does he hesitate, when the smoke Of battle
has cleared away, to recognize their merits
or to acknowledge lhei, courtcsirs.
The first and most essential requisite in
a presiding officer is impar,ialty. and l
am happy to express the opinion that You
have, throughout the session zealonsly en-
d'avored to enforce the rules which wcr.
established for our z ,vernmcnt according
to tn" best Of your ability. That you
should have made some mistakes. and com.
United same errors in the course of the
session, is highly p,obabls. But under
NIL Of the circumstances, and considering
that the position was new to you, we be-
l:cvc it creditablc that you have committed
no greater errors than you have. And l
will here say that il tho few occasions on
which your judgment has been on the
wrong side hal been multiplied hundred
fold, they would be mere than counter.
balanced 10y the grace. candor and cheer
fulnrss with which yoa have always been
ready to acknowl,dg" and correct an error
when pointed out. "'
Having now, in behalf Of myself and pc.
li,ical friends Congratulated You on the
succe ssiul and crcdi,able manner in which
you have discharged the arduous duties Of
your position, will say few words con-
C~rning the testimonial, which VIZ offer in
the hopes that you will accept aud bear it
with you when you return to your distant
home. 10 BE- kept - On evidence OF the sim
