[blocks in formation]

On the death of

man and Admiral Porter.

First-That the intelligence of the death of Gen. William T. Sherman of the United States army, and of Admiral General SherDavid D. Porter of the United States navy, has been received by the legislature with the deepest sense of the inexpressible loss sustained by our state and nation, and with overwhelming emotions of sorrow.

Second-That in the death of these illustrious officers and citizens we recognize the loss of two as devoted patriots as have yet appeared in our history, whose skill and services on land and sea, in a war of unparalleled magnitude, enabled the generation in which they lived to preserve and transmit to future generations the government founded by Washington, with all its unspeakable blessings and free institutions, unimpaired.

Third- That in the departure from earth at the same time of two men who had co-operated so much in sustaining and maintaining the government in time of war, and whose lives to the nation had been so valuable and conspicuous, we recognize the hand of that Providence which carried the nation through the struggles of the Revolution, and gave it the benefit of the wisdom of Adams and Jefferson, and afterwards called them from earth on the same day - the anniversary of the natal day of the nation they had established.

Fourth-Resolved, That the state of Minnesota, through its legislature assembled, tenders the condolence of all its people to the relatives and friends of the deceased, and that, as a mark of respect, the legislature will stand adjourned on the day of the funeral, and that the governor cause a salute of fifteen (15) guns to be fired at sunrise and sunset on that day, and one (1) gun each half-hour between sunrise and sunset.
