196 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Feb. 1

greed, bathed in the blood of slaughtered freemen; now,
there fore,

Be it resolved, by the General Assembly of Maryland'
that in the name and honor, humanity and liberty, we
protest against the conduct of Her Brittanic Majesty's
Government in its action towards the Boer Republics of
South Africa; and be it further

Resolved, That we would impress upon Her Majesty's
Government the words of the greatest of Americans, the
illustrious Washington, that "No nation is justified in
laying hold of slight causes of umbrage, or to be in-
tractable when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute
occur," but that good faith, religion and morality should
influence the mighty British nation, guided by exalted jus-
tice and Christian benevolence, to give to the nations of
the earth the magnanimous example of retiring from the
frontiers of the Boer Republics.

And be it further resolved, That the General Assem-
bly would consider itself unworthy to sit in the historic
building hallowed by the presence of the Spirit of the
Father of His Country, who was and is to us "First in
War, First in Peace, and First in the Hearts of His
Countrymen," without giving expression of our sympathy
for the heroic peoples of South Africa, now battling for
the principles which Washington established on this
Continent.

Which was read the first time, and referred to the
Committee on Federal Relations.




At 1.30 P.M.,
On motion of Mr. Crothers,
The Senate took a recess until 8 P. M.
