This House met again according to Adjournment
Present as in the Morning
Benjamin Tasker Esqr attended by the Members of this House
presents his Excellency the Governor the Address of this House
which follows in these Words.
To His Excellency Samuel Ogle Esqr Governor and Commander
in Chief in and over the Province of Maryland.
The humble Address of the Upper House of Assembly
May 1t please Your Excellency
We are very sensible of the Necessity Your Excellency was under
by the Misunderstanding betwixt this and the late Lower House of
dissolving the last Assembly; and We most sincerely wish, it had
been in Our Power, as much as it was in Our Inclinations and En-
deavours, to have prevented or removed, by any Method consistent
with the Dignity of this House, that Stop to Business which made
the Interposition of the Government so indispensible.
Your Excellency has been pleased to express so kindly your Desire
for the Welfare of this Province, and Your Willingness to promote
its happiness and Prosperity, by giving a helping Hand to the Re-
moval of Every Obstacle, that We beg Leave to make Our grateful
Acknowledgment of Thanks, and assure Your Excellency that We
are sufficiently convinced by the late and other Occasions of the ill
Effects of Heats and Animosities between the several Parts of the
Legislature
