In the whole history of Iowa, there has never been a session of the General Assembly, when the business of legislation was more important to the State, than the business of the present 'session; or when the business of legislation was more calculated to arouse sectional feelings and excite local jealousies. Yet, amidst all the conflicting interests, that have, to a certain extent, divided us, in no instance have the courtesies of debate been violated, or the friendly relations between members disturbed. The recollection of this fact cannot fail to be a source of unalloyed satisfaction to you and to me, as we retire to private life. I now declare this House adjourned sine die. |
