During a long ami arduous care* red"service in the pub

collisions may at any time unfi rtunately have *rurrcd
between ns: auil that our recollections shall dwell in th
in re only on those conflicts ut*mind with mind, those in

Senate and to the country, in uhu ii each has sought and
contended lur what he deemed the best mode ot* accom
pli lung r-uc common object, the greatest inti rest and
t'.ic most happiness ot our beloved country, To these
thrilling and delightful scenes it will homy pleasure
and my pride lo look back in toy retirement.
And now. .Mr. i’risideut, allow me to make the mo

dr(»syou. I | ;< .a ut tin-eredenials of tny friend and

withdrawal from the S mite, it will be tilled to over

known already in advance t*. u,» win'. Senate and to
