GENTLEMEN sF THE HOUSE: The vote

sGch an expression of Fsur conf denes as
calls for my sincerest thanks. TIE be eho.
sen Speaker of the American HoSse OF
Representatives is always an honorable
distinction, To be chosen third term
enhances the honor more than thrae-fold.
To be chosen by the largest body that
ever assembled In tho Capitol imposes a
burden Of responsibility which only your
indulcent kindness could emboiGen me to
assume The first occupant of the chair
presided over s house of simply Eve mem
beSs, representing population far below
the present aggregate CT the State of New
York, At that time in the whole United
States there were net $4,000 civilized in
habitants To be found 100 miles distant
from the Atlantic tide. To-day, gentle
men large majority OF you coma from
beyond that limit, and represent districts
then peopled ONLY by Indians aud adYen-
turous ffontiersMen. The Government is
not yet as old as many of its citizens; but
In this brief span of time, less than one
heightened life, it has, undor Gods good
providence, extended its power until a
continent is thu field of it's empire, and
attests the maj GRITTY of its law. With the
growth of new States, and the result OF
changes in the centors population, new
interests are developed, rival to the cid,
but by no means hostile; diverse, but not
antagenistic; nay, rather are all these in
terests in harmony; and the true science
of just government is % give to each its
full ana fair play, expressing none by
undue exactions, ,favoring none by undue
privilege. 1t is this great lesson which
our daily experience is teaching us, bind
ing Us together more closely, making our
mutual dependence more manifest. and
causing US to feel, whether we live in the
North, South, East, or West, that we
have indeed but zone coantry, enc Goa
stitution, one destiny" ijiss a' 'H
