| pie, whose Greer HIS excited the wonder
and admiration Of mankind. Let us hope
that our labors rs representatives Of the
state and people may justify the placing o:
another white ST one in The long shining
pathway OF the republic. However ardent
and pe.plexlng may have been our lajors,
however exciting mav have been the con-
tests: opposing opinions and politics, no
one OF us, think, can meet The hour of
separation without emotions ard, 1 hope,
not unpleasant solicitude that embraces
the past, present. and future. The
smallness OF our number and the peculiar
nature of our organization, which
embraces potent pal Cicipation in the action
OF our OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES leSisla-
tive, executive and Judicial. produces an
intimacy OF personal realization pleasant as
it is important and makes the movement
