The reported ticket was then elected entire. The President in a few words 

 gracefully and feelingly made his acknowledgments for the re-election to a posi- 

 tion which he had filled for eighteen years ; though he had frequently tendered 

 his resignation, believing others equally qualified to discharge the duties. After 

 eloquently expressing his devotion to agricultural pursuits and associations, he 

 remarked that he was upon the down-hill side of life, and would soon be laid to 

 rest ; but that he should be happy if it could then be said of him, " Here lies one 

 who assisted in elevating mankind, and added something to the sum of human 

 happiness."

 that it had been the custom for the society to authorize the appointment of some 

 member to deposit the ballot of the society.

 designated Mr. Campbell to deposit the ballot.
