avail.
The duties which devolve upon the
Senate at this special session, which His
EXcellency the Governor has deemed it
necessary to summon, are of a parti-
cularly important character. They
need the exercise of our most careful
consideration and judgment We must
determine that justice shall be done and
that right must prevail. Only in this
way can the business of this Territory
! be progressively and honestly admins
! tered to keep the confidence of the
people, which we represent in this
branch of the Territorial Legislature.
/ Gentlemen, 1 thank you once more for
! the honor you have conferred upon me
/ and again ask your hearty cooperation
in the performance of my duties.
