> A message, in writing, was received from the Governor, by the hands of Mr.
Thomas B. Monroe, Jr., Secretary of State, announcing the death of the Hon.
Linn Boyd, Lieutenant Governor elect and Speaker of the Senate.
>
> Which was taken up and read as follows:

> Executive Department,
>
> December 20, 1859.
>
> Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives:
>
> It has become my painful duty to announce to you the death of Hon. Linn
Boyd, Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth, which occurred at his
residence, on Saturday night last, at 8 o'clock.
>
> Col. Boyd has for many years occupied exalted positions of trust and
confidence in the councils of the State and nation. Remarkable for his
honesty and tried integrity; for his fidelity to principle, and for his
unwavering attachment to the best interests of his constituents, his death
will be lamented by the people of Kentucky as a public calamity. Out of
respect to his memory, I have caused an order to be entered upon the
executive journal that the public offices be closed, and that the
transaction of the business of the Executive Department be suspended for the
day; and it is needless for me to suggest to the representatives of the
people, what I am sure is the first impulse of everyone, the adoption of
such a course as will be most appropriate in your better judgment to testify
your appreciation of the public loss in the death of a public servant so
illustrious as Col. Boyd.

in the councils of the State and nation, do unanimously

session; and that the officers and members of this body will wear mourning
on the left arm for thirty days.

> Resolved, That we are penetrated with profound sorrow for the loss, at
this time, of one so firm in all good and patriotic purposes; so exalted in
virtue; so pure in all the relations of life; and a statesman so inflexibly
attached to the union of these States.

this preamble, and these resolutions, to be transmitted to Mrs. Ann L. Boyd,
