GENTLEMEN :-The time has come when we must say, Farewell! To many of us this parting may be a long one. In the overturning and turmoil of these times our various pathways may henceforth be widely divergent. We part under circumstances profoundly impressive. The darkest sky that we have yet known, still hangs over our devoted country. God only knows where and how the scene will change, and this suspense pass into certainty. Let us labor and wait longer. It cannot be that this fair heritage of our fathers is to be destroyed. There is "a God of battles" now, as there was in the days of Moses and of Joshua; and it may be that when the national sins of this people have been expiated by sacrifices worthy of us, victory will be given us. Before we part, if there be anything to forgive, let it be forgiven. Our sessions here have been singularly free from all that is calculated to leave behind grievous memories. We can all, I trust, in after years turn over these Journals with pride and pleasure. As for myself, I can always recall these scenes with peculiar gratification. I have always had your unwavering indulgence, and to that I owe any usefulness here, and for that I thank you from my heart. May God go with the members of this House everywhere. Farewell! The House is now adjourned sine die! CHA'S. ALDRICH, [Attest:] Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives. INDEX. ADJOURNMENT- Resolution of House, 50, 84. Opinion of, on Soldier's voting, 25.
