Governor Hicks died suddenly at Washington City, on the morning of the 13th of February, 1865, where he was engaged in his duties as a member of the National Senate. Already Henry Winter Davis, a Representative of a Baltimore district in the National Congress, had published a powerful appeal January 2, 1861. against the calling of the Legislature, or the assembling of a Border State Convention, as some had proposed. Nothing, he said, but a convention of all the States could be useful. The address of Governor Hicks was read with delight and profound gratitude by the loyal

There is no chance for peace now. The South has determined to fight another campaign, and it is to be hoped the North will be equally united, and turn out men to fill up all our present armies and form others at the same time.
