PRESIDENT: I am directed to inform you that the assembly has completed its business and is now ready to adjourn sine die. Mr. Huebschmann introduced the following resolution, which was adopted, to wit: Resolved, That the thanks of the senate be tendered to John K. Williams, Esq., chief clerk, for the able and efficient manner in which he has discharged his duties during the present session of the legislature. Mr. Stewart introduced the following resolution, which was adopted, to wit: Resolved, That the thanks of the senate be tendered to the Hon. Timothy Burns, and to the Hon. E. B. Dean, jr., for the able, faithful and impartial man ner in which they have respectively performed the duties of presiding officer of this body. Mr. Dean, President pro tempore, then addressed the senate, as follows, to wit: SENATORS: The end of a long and eventful session is at hand, and, in the absence of our respected President, it devolves upon me to say a parting word in response to the kind sentiment which you have just expressed. For ninety seven days we, assembled as the state's collected will, have been co-laborers in the high and responsible work of legislation. The passage of over six hundred acts attests our industry, and I trust to the future to demonstrate that this labor has not all been vain. The career of legislation is ended; but the gratification afforded by the termination of labor, and the return to our families, hath yet the alloy of pain and regret, which harmonious deliberations and courteous intercourse give to our separation. Rival local interests and diverse political opinions have elicited heated debates, and have occasionally placed us in antagonistic positions; but I am happy in the belief, that all have been moved by a sacred regard for the constitutional oath of office, a full sense of representative trust, and an honest desire for the best interests of the state. And now, gentlemen, before I pronounce the words which will dissolve the senate and disperse us to our widely separated homes, resolving us into that body from whence came our power and our honor, allow me, in behalf of our absent President, and for myself, to return to you thanks, heart-felt thanks, for your generous confidence and uniform indulgence. Gentlemen, may you be happy and blessed in your homes, prosperous in your business, and receive from your respective constituencies the worthy representative's highest reward, well done, good and faithful. I declare this senate adjourned sine die. |
