The scrupulous care with which you have examined all desired legislation, and the gratifying unanimity which has prevailed in deciding all practical measures those measures which have really touched the welfare of the State-have rendered this session the most pleasant one in my experience, and I trust that we shall remember the hours passed here together, and remember them only with pleasure. For my part I can truly say, that the memory of this session will always be pleasant to me. I shall remember the cheerful courtesy and kindness of each one of you with the most grateful emotions; and when I say that I thank you for all and every part of it, it is truly said and as sincerely meant. We are about to part, and there is little probability that we shall ever meet again, acting in our present capacity,-perhaps not all meet again in any capacity; and now, in parting, let me again thank you, thank you heartily, for your constant and painstaking attention to your duties here as Senators, and for the many acts of kindness to me personally, which have enabled me to so perform the duties of the Chair as to receive the cordial vote you have just tendered me. Gentlemen, I wish you all a safe and happy return to your homes, and a prolonged life of health and happiness.
