Mr. Speakeb, it was not my exi>eotatioD to be here at this time, and hence I had made no preparation to participate in these ceremonies. Bnt as I am here, and as I represent a large portion of the old district of the deceased Senator, where he was so well known, loved, and honored, I feel that I would be nnjost to my constituents and wanting in rever- ence to the distinguished dead if I should now altogether lay my hands ui>on my mouth. I must offer soipe tribute, how- ever humble and feeble, t...o the memory of our departed friend. Those who are unacquainted with the deep hold that Sena- tor Houston had upon the affections of the people of Ala bama can little conceive how sharp was the pang that ran through our borders on f^e tidings of his death. He had been their friend, faithful and just to them ; and he had served them with a fidelity and an effectiveness unsurpassed; and every household felt that the loss was personal to itself. He was a I>opular man with the masses, not through any of the arts of the demagogue, for he never fawned or flattered or sacrificed principles to expediency; but because he was of them.
