Mr.. BIdine's Speech.

When Mr.. Blaine assumed the office
of Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives he spoke a follows:
Gentlemen ot' he House OF Representa-
tires: thank you, profoundly, for the
great honor which your votes have just
conferred upon me. The qualification
which this signal mark of your conf
dencc brings to me finds its only draw
back in the diffidcnce with which | as
sumo the weighty duties deyolved upon
me. Succeeding 10 chair made illus
trious by the services of such eminent
statesmen and skilled parliamentarians
rs Clay, Stevenson, Polk, Winthrop,
Banks, Grow, and Colfax, may well
distrust my ability 10 meet the just ex-
pectations of those who have shown me
such marked partiality. But, relying,
gentlemen, on my honest purpose to
perform all my dutie. faithfully and tear
lessly, and trusting, in a large measure,
to the indulgence which l am sure you
will always extend to me, shall hope to
retain, as / have secured, your conf
dence, your kindly regard, and your
generous support.
