does not need to be told here to-day. His conduct during the excitement of 1873 was characterized by firmness, by grasp of constitutional principles, and by consummate tact, and when he leaves our shores, he will take with him the respect and admiration-nay, almost the affection of every man and woman in Canada, for his noble bearing and sympathetic genius have given him a warm place in the hearts of thousands who never saw him. I now conclude. The history of the Irishman in Canada closes as it opened with the name of an Irish Governor-General on my pen. I have shown what part the Irishman has played in clearing the forest, in building up the structure of our civic life, in defending the country, in battling for our liberties, in developing our resources, in spreading enlightenment, in the culture of literature and art, in tending the sacred fires of religion, in sweetening the cares of life, and I trust I have done this without giving offence in any quarter, or forgetting for a single instant that my paramount duty, as the paramount duty of us all, belongs to Canada.
