FOR JAMES L. RIDGELY.
Gaither—2.
FOR WILLLAM GRASON.
Howard—I.
And that no majority appearing no election was had.
Mr. Jenifer offered the following resolution:
Whereas, the General Assembly of Maryland, at December Ses
sion 1849, passed an act "to provide for the raking the sense of
the people upon the expediency of calling a Convention to frame
a new Constitution and Form of Government for the State, and
to provide for the election of Delegates to such Convention;"
And whereas, the Delegates present, elected in pursuance of
that law, assembled here on Monday the 4th November, inst., and
after six days endeavoring to organise, having voted sixteen
times for a President to preside over the deliberations of the Con
vention, have not been able to agree, and there appearing to be as
little prospect of an election as at the commencement of Session
Therefore, in order to afford an opportunity to the voters of the
State to elect Delegates who may be more disposed to harmonise
in obeying the injunctions of the law, and of carrying out the
expressed will of the people,
Resolved unanimously, that each delegate resign his seat as
delegate, or that this House adjourn sine die.
