BY the HOUSE of DELEGATES, December 15, 1800.
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE,
WE have sent you back the bill, entitled, A supplement
to the act for the promotion of literature in this state,
for reconsideration; it contains provisions of great and serious importance,
as it is predicated upon the inequivocal
principle of promoting and disseminating useful knowledge. The
delegation from the counties to which the
bill extends, have but one opinion upon the propriety, the usefulness
and preference of two seminaries, as contemplated
by the bill, instead of one on the principle of the act passed in 1798.
And they have no hesitation in
making declaration, that their sentiments on the subject will be approbated
by their constituents. It is hoped,
that as the plan proposed by the bill is thus strongly recommended,
that the opinion of those who represent Baltimore
and Harford counties, which are mentioned in the bill, will have its
due weight with the senate, and upon
reconsideration of the subject, the bill may pass.
By order,
W. HARWOOD, clk.
The bill, entitled, An additional supplement to
the act, entitled, An act to regulate elections, was read the
second time, and the question put, That the said bill do pass?
The yeas and nays being required, appeared as
