Honorable Senator's: IF could express
with words which would be in harmony
with this occasion, to you, and through
you to the people of our State, my graft
tude for the confidence you and they are
in me-and which will look in
vain to my works for any fair cOmpensa-
tion then with every hearty impulse of
which man is capable, would do so; al
though | am not unmindful Of the fact that
no substantial return can be made with
idle words, but only by acts. In this case
the most that can be done must be by a
faithful endeavor, as a substitute for COM
plete accomplishment.
Perhaps [ may be permitted to add,
that the recipient Of this position, who by
reason of want of skill is more appreci-
ative, is all the more depressed with that
deep sense of responsibility which inexpe-
rience and inaptEess to perform always
bring to their possessor. [ proceed with
a keen sense Of all that still | go in the
pleasant way assigned me, cheered by the
that I shall always be in
sight of those to whom much experience,
and profound knowledge of parliament
ary law, have been given, and which have
never been wasted or tarnished by indulg-
ence in misplaced criticism, but have ever
been source of generous aid to the un-
learned. With firm and steadfast reli-
ance upon them, upon your charity, and
upon that high source Of courage, $50 far
as I may approach it, purpose, fixed by
correct motives, will endeavor to do my
part in the important work before US; to
which let US proceed without further delay,
that we may make quick return of that
industry, care, fidelity, and especially that
economy, which deserving people, in
these peculiar times. may expect and will
demand.
On motion of Mr. Heath the Senate ad-
journed.
