312 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Feb. 27,

But it is a wrong against which the Constitution has no
defense, and for which it affords the State no remedy.

The place of Senator Thomas is vacant in the Senate of the
United States, and the law requires this General Assembly
to go into an election to supply the vacancy on Tuesday, the
third of March next.

The committees submit that the General Assembly should
enter the protest of the State against this proceeding of the
Senate of the United States. They propose the following
joint resolutions:

Resolved, That the General Assembly of Maryland make
this their earnest and solemn protest, against the proceeding
in the Senate of the United States, whereby a Senator elected
from this State, and duly qualified, has been excluded from
the Senate.

Resolved, That the foregoing statement and this protest
be transmitted to the Legislatures of the other States now in
session, that they may judge what notice it merits from them,
in vindication of the law, the Constitution and the common
rights of all the States.

Resolved, That as the action of the Senate has created a
vacancy in the representation of this State in that body, and
it is due to the State and the country, that such vacancy
should be filled, we will, therefore, in accordance with the
provisions of the Act of Congress at the proper time, proceed
to fill such vacancy.
