230 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [June 11,

not record the overthrow of public freedom, for an instant,
within her borders, without recording, likewise, the indig-
nant expression of her resentment and remonstrance: now
therefore be it

Resolved, That the Senate and House of Delegates of Mary-
land, in the name and on behalf of the good people of the
fState, do accordingly register this their earnest and unquali-
fied protest against the oppressive and tyrannical assertion
and exercise of military jurisdiction, within the limits of
Maryland, over .the persons and property of her citizens, by
the Government of the United States, and do solemnly de-
clare the same to be subversive of the most sacred guaranties
of the Constitution and in flagrant violation of the funda-
mental and most cherished principles of American free gov-
ernment.

Resolved further, That the resolutions be communicated,
by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House,
to the Hon. James Alfred Pearce and the Hon. Anthony
Kennedy, Senators of Maryland in the Senate of the United
States, with the request that they present the same to the
Senate, to be recorded among its proceedings, in vindication
of the right and in perpetual memory of the solemn remon-
strance of this State against the manifold usurpations and
oppressions of the Federal Government.

Which were read the first time.
