D. Porter and the Officers and Professors of the
Naval Academy to visit the two Houses of the
General Assembly, and tender them the privi-
leges of the floor.
WHEREAS, The people of this State are greatly in-
terested in the success and prosperity of the
United States Naval Academy which has been
wisely and advantageously located within the
State of Maryland; and whereas, the General
Assembly desire to testily in a public manner,

and to pay a deserved tribute of respect and ad-
miration to the gallant and distinguished officer
who has been appointed to its command;
Be it therefore Resolved, (the House of Delegates
concurring therein, ) That a committee of three
members from the House of Delegates and two
members from the Senate be appointed by the Pre-
siding Officers of their bodies respectively, to ten-
der an invitation to Rear Admiral David D. Porter
and the Officers and Professors of the Naval
Academy to visit the General Assembly on a con-
venient day.
Resolved, That the Presiding Officers of the two
Houses be empowered to make proper arrange-
ments for the reception of the said distinguished
guests.
