It is my equally earnest wish and prayer that if (per adventure) I shall be so unhappy as to fall below the just expectations of the people that they will ; ascribe my de- linquency to no lauic oi mine, uu. i limitations which nature has imposed upon my humble capabilities. Gentlemen- of the Assembly, 1 do not regard a term in the United States Sen ate as implying six years of ease, leis ure and luxury To my mind, according to my conception of duty, of work and watchfulness; six years Of study that i may better understand and better ad: voeate and defend the Interest of ,fhe people; six years of work and watchful ness that ! may better promote and ad vance that interest. If I understand my self, if I know the impulses of my own heart from my earliest youth to this good day and hour, I have known no higher ambition than the desires to -well and truly serve my country and, my fel low men. The thing which oppresses me at this moment is a sincere diffidence in my ability , to. rise to the requirements of the great office to which you, JbaYe elected me. I feel my own weakness and insufficiency for its duties, I recognize my inexperience,. I know of my - inade quate equipment, and so f eelh& and? re cognizing' and knowing, I', shall enter upon the duties of this office with a feel iug of profound diffidence, but, thank God, with a feeling of hopefulness and trust. Hopeful that by diligence and per severance in study, in reflection and in work I may in-due season, measurably at least, prepare myself for these great duties, and in the end rise to the full heisrht and measure of the requirements; of trustfulness that, if after all is done I shall be so -unfortunate as to fail to attain to this consummation by my lion est and strenuous efforts to do the best of which I am capable. I may at least win the confidence and respect -of a peo "ple who have honored me so highly, and whose respect and confidence I prize far above the pomp and circumstances of office and power of tile ease, and comfort, and ostentation, and riches. Today, by the decree of the people, and your gracious execution of that de cree, the 'mantle which has f allen from the broad and puissant shoulders of Jarvis, P.ansom and Vance has been cast upon me. I do not deny ; that this great honor has filled my' heart with joy, but I beg yon to believe me when I tell you that it is a joy mixed with a re cognizing sense of the weight of the re- he ma v, have an opportunity to express his gratitude to you and to tne peopie, and give his solemn pledge of fidelity; fidelity on the one nand. to the State, its .I.:,-.

In the whole course of a mans life there comes to him but few occas'ons when it is 'proper and fit that in a public speech to - sneak almost -exclusively of himself. His7 feelings, his emotions, his motives, his purposes, and his resolves. That occasion bas come to rue today. If I should attempt to epitomize and con dense into ; a single sentence all that I ,want to say. to you today, 1 would say: 1 want to : express, ..but I have, not the gift of-, language to -adequately express my gratitude for the high honor that haa been conferred upon me,"and my earnest vearaing wish to well and , -truly dis- Tarmlt.'0 .
