as the object of my ultimate ambition,

moderately equipped myself 90 az to
fairly meet the requirements Of the
situation. But now pause. doubt
full whether have not assumed too
much. When we reflect that this
branch of our national legislature must
not only participate in the enactment Of
laws but that it must act upon proposed
treaties and closely confer with the OK
ecutive in solving the many questions
upon which the relations of this gov
ernment to foreign powers depends, We
recognize the Importance of the author

finds that our most distinguished states

promises to make. The obligations inn
piled from the assumption of the cares
of this Office am preparing to discharge
according to my ability. Whatever may
be said about me 1t will be conceded
that I have been rather an
active and hard-working man.
Certainly my hours Of ease
have not been many, and did not as-
pire to this great distinction in the be-
lief that my labors would be to any ex-
tent mitigated or in the slightest les

would be necessary for me to carry on
my private business and at the same
time to devote adequate attention to
affairs of national moment. can well
afford to say to my constituents that
will not give any less attention to the
concerns which they have entrusted to
me than have in the past awarded to
those affairs which have been commit
ted to my keeping. The years that arc
upon me ought to be the best of my
life, and the best that period is capable
of contributing shall be given by me to
the service of my countrymen.
