" The Secretary of the Senate delivered the following
JOINT RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the
General Assembly of Man land, have heard with profound
grief and sincere regret, the annunciation by his Excellency,
the Governor, of the sudden decease of the Honorable Rev-
erdy Johnson, in the lull vigor of life, and in the crowning
years of a long period of usefulness to his State and country.
That by the death of this distinguished Jurist, Statesman
and Diplomatist, the people of the State of Maryland have
lost one in whose unquestioned fame, at home and abroad,
they have ever felt a just pride, and whom they have de-
lighted to honor, as one of her pre-eminently worthy and
most illustrious sons; and the nation and the world have
been called to mourn the deprivation of a wise counselor and
a devoted patriot.
That the State of Maryland will ever cherish and hold in
grateful remembrance, the invaluable public services he has
rendered, and would hereby express a tribute of honor and
respect, to the consummate ability, and commanding intel-
lect, which exalted him as the foremost Jurist of America.
To the patriotie impulses which animated him in the dis-
charge of grave and responsible duties to his State and Coun-
try.
