Gentlemen of the Council:--In presiding over your deliberations, I have endeavored, as far as I was able, to redeem the pledge I gave you at the commencement of the session; in the doing which, I have no doubt in many instances, given (though unintentionally) just cause of complaint. But from the very flattering character of the resolution which has just passed the Council by a unanimous vote, I feel assured, that however insuf. ficiently I may have discharged the duties assigned me, my motives have been properly appreciated.

We are now, Gentlemen, about to terminate an unusually protracted and interesting session; and although there have been.
