For this new and distinguished mark of your confidence and favor, I pary you to accept my warm and grateful acknowledgments; and whilst it will be deeply valued and cherished by me as the best reward for any past service that I may have rendered, it shall inspire me with a zeal so to conduct myself, as to justify in some measure the choice of my friends, and merit the continued approbation of my country: Would to God that I was þetter qualified to fulfil the arduous duties of this Chair, in a manner suitable to its dignity and importance, my own wishes and honor, and the just expectations of the House. There are few stations, gentlemen, under our Government, either in relation to their elevation, or the nature and extent of their duties, more laborious or responsible than that of Speaker |
