Excerpt from Message of His Excellency, Governor Oden Bowie: To the General Assembly of Maryland, at Its Regular Session, January, 1872

Gentlemen of the General Assembly of Maryland:

During the interval since the last General Assembly convened, the State has enjoyed a reasonable degree of prosperity, and by the increase and efficiency of her works of Internal Improvement, and the augmented business they will induce, has been laying the groundwork upon which to make rapid progress in the by no means distant future.

Since the adjournment, one of the most distinguished Senators, who, if living, would to-day be occupying the seat he had ably filled for several sessions, has passed away; and his absence, caused by a prematurely early death, will sadden your reunion, and cloud the otherwise pleasant retrospect.

It is meet that on the commencement of your duties, while bowing with humble submission to this decree of Providence, you should recognize with devout and reverent hearts the great mercies it has vouchsafed to us as a State and people, and invoke for your deliberations the guidance of Him, without whose wisdom and blessing your labors cannot enure to the benefit of your constituents.
