tant trust committed to your care; your whole time has been faithfully devoted to the public service; and I may venture to assert, that at no session of the Legislature since the formation of our State government has so much business been performed. Measures of great importance, too, have been adopted, and such as we all ardently desire may result to the best interests of the entire State; whether they will fully accomplished the great and desirable objects for which they were intended, cannot at present be satisfactorily determined, yet I entertain no doubt but the people of the Wabash counties on the east, the Ohio on the south, the Mississippi on the west, the Lake on the north, as well as those of the interior will ultimately be benefitted by your legislative labors. Political controversy has been but seldom indulged in during the ses sion; the legitimate business of legislation has been rarely interrupted by mere declamation. So far as I am concerned, as your presiding officer, although differing in political opinions with many of you, I have received throughout the session kindness and courtesy from all, and can truly declare, that no expression or act of yours has left any rankling in my bosom, but on the contrary, you will each of you return to your constituents, your families, and friends with my best wishes for your continued prosperity and happi ness. In commencing the labors of the session, I had serious doubts that a want of experience might occasionally lead me estray, I have, however, endeavored to discharge my duty faithfully, and if have succeeded with as much satisfaction to the Senate as they so recently have unanimously expressed, I have attained to the highest and proudest desires of my heart.
