GENTLEMEN: For the renewed expression of your approba tion, which has just been made, you will accept my profound acknowledgements.

It has been my endeavor, at all times, to discharge the duties of the chair in such a manner as should merit your approval. The resolution just passed, would seem to indicate that this endeavor has not been, in your favorable judgment, altogether unsuccessful. For this and all other favors which your kindness has so constantly extended to me, I tender to you, gentlemen, my sincere and grateful thanks. I shall never cease to remember that whatever of success may be deemed to have attended my humble efforts in this respect, is to be attributed, in great part, to your indulgence and unfailing support.

And as the labors of the session are now drawing to a close, and we are about to return to that people from whom we came, and to whom we are amenable for our proceedings here, allow me to express my ardent wish that each of you may have a prosperous journey to your several homes, a happy meeting with your families and friends, and that the continued blessings of health and prosperity may now and henceforth rest upon you and them.
