The Clerk accordingly put the resolution, and it was unanimously carried; when—
The Speaker thus addressed the House:
"Gentlemen: I feel myself deeply impressed with this fresh proof of your approbation of my conduct in the chair. The confidence and support which you have in every instance afforded me, in the station assigned to me, have alone enabled me to discharge the important duty with satisfaction to myself, and with advantage to the public."
Adjournment of the Session.
A message was received from the Senate, informing the House that they had appointed a committee to join a committee of that House, to wait upon the President to inform him they had finished their business, and, except he had any further communications to make, they were ready to adjourn, without day.
The House then agreed to appoint a committee to join that of the Senate to wait upon the President, and Messrs. Sitgreaves, Parker, and Sherburne being named, they accordingly waited upon the President; and—
Mr. Sitgreaves reported that the President had no further communication to make, except "that he wished them a happy return to their families and friends."
The Speaker then adjourned the House sine die, at about eleven o'clock.[14]
