mcnt given 10 doctrines calculated to impair
the force Of those great peace and Union
measures on the minds Of the people Of
Pennsylvania.
A reward has been, it is said, offered
for the arrest of the murderers, by the ex-
ecutive of that State; he should, in our opin-
ION, have called ont instantly the civil and
military power under his command, and
by proclamation urged on the pursuit, ar
rest and punishment Of all concerned.
In his view that duty has been discharg-
ed. but to his active agency it Is not left;
the thanks Of Maryland and the South are
due to our energetic National Executive.
Upon the FIRST tidings Of this cruel murder
and foul treason reaching him, a military
and civil force was Immediately ordered
from Philadelphia to the scene Of blood,
and arrests have thus been made of the
supposed criminals initiating. in this re-
spcct, his great predecessor, Washington,

whisky instruction in the same State, by
military power. President Fillmore has
acted in this instance, as in all his efforts
to enforce the Compromise measures. in a
way TO command the confidence and APP
plause of the South. And come, what
may, he ,eiH perform srithoxt fsarhis duty
10 the achole Union.
What is a Union worth where equal
rights of property and person are not Sc
cured and enforcedl VIVA, is it but a
rope Of sand, which the foul breath Of "a
naticism may blow away?
Maryland (said Mr.. Lee.) stood side by
side with Pennsylvania to form this more
perfect Union, and upon recent battle
fields the blood of Maryland and Pennsyl.
wanna has commingled to maintain and
vindcate IFS hooor--our sympathies aud
glory are wrapt up in the perpetuity
of that Union as our fathers leiiit And
whenever it shall not answer the great
purposes of its creation. we, yes, Mary
land who ministered at its birth, and ha.
participated in the valor and strength ofits
majestic manhood, will cast it off-but we
fondly hope that day may never come; fol
this blessed Union is beloved and endear
ed TO us By the memories of,he past anc
the bright hopes of the future. And unit
shorn of these, and married by traitors
hands, we shall cling to it, and live unde
it, as "man's best gift to man."
Should however, repeated aggression.
and violated rights find no redress, W,
warn our fanatical brethren of the North
that while we refrain from all interference,
In their domestic and State institutions, W,
require the same on their part, and ifcom
PEELED by their madness and folly, Mary

sneeen org. Collin. lee. Esn

The following is an outline of the re-
marks of z. Collins Lee esq, in opening
the meeting called at MonumeniSquare, on
Monday night to deliberate upon the re-
cent outrage and murder of citizens of Ma
ryland and Peunsy lvania:
After stating the object ofthe assernblage
Mr. Lee said it was an occasion full Of mel
ancholy interest, and fraught with impor-
tant consequences to the peace and pernla-
nency of the Union.
They were here tonight not TO utter
praises or censure ofpublic men and mea-
sures, nor to rally under the banner ofpar-
tsan leaders, but TO express, in tones of
solemn emphasis, the indignant feeling of
Maryland at tue outrage and massacre per-
pstrated in the adjoining State Of Pennsyl-
varia upon the lives and persons of respec-
ted and unofending citizens Of Maryland,
who, in asserting their constitutional rights,
and seeking, under the supreme lar of the
land, to recover and bring back their pro-
perry, had been in open day assailed and
butchered by ruthless band Of negroes,
headed and led on by brutal abohtionists
and fanatics. 1t was now time for Mary
land, through the roice Of her people, to
declare that unless the constitutional rights
of her citizens were secured, protected and
defended in Pennsylvania and the other
free States. by the laws and authorities
of these States, she must and would assume
the attitude of retaliation and self-defence.
and recognise no longer the ties which had
bound them together.
Standing. as Maryland does, on the from
tier of the slaveholding States, her position
was delicate and responsible one; bat
that would not deter her from insisting on
her rights of person and property guaran-
teed by the Constitution and laws of the
United States.
The Unionitself would indeed be mere
mockery, fits shields ofprotection extend
ed not over the whole country; and this
meeting should regard it as worthless,
whenever law OF Congress can be openly
resisted and disobeyed. any where. with i'm
punity and bloodshed, and the authorities
of that State pause or temporize in pursu
ing Instantly and bringing to condign pun
before her os0n tribunals, the foul
violators ofthe law.
A very large portion Of the considerate
and wsIl-disposed people Of Pennsylvania
and her last Legislature, were doubtless in
favor Of such a course; but if indications of |
public opinion.since the passage ofthe grea;
Compromise measures, are TO be taken. |
from the views of persons in high places,
and the columns Of a part Of the press, |
there had, indeed, been some encourage

SIR: On my return to the executive de-
partment of this State, to day. after tempo
rary absence,l received scmi-oihciaf state
meats OF the recent outrage committed IN
the State Of Pennsylvania, by mob OF
outlaws, upon the persons oil citizens OF
Maryland, who We're peaceably engaged
in the assertion of their rights, under the
Federal Constitution and the laws Of Con-
gress. Although l have the most entire
confidence in the resolution of your excel
lency to enforce the laws of the land at all
hazards, and to the fullest extent, it never
theless becomes my duty to address you
this communication. Great as is the crime
committed. when considered solely in re-
ference to the individual victims themselves,
its enormity and danger can only be prop
erly estimated when viewd in connexion
with the present state of the country.
From the very beginning, Maryla has,
with one voice, sustained the Compromise
measures. No man has dared to raise the
hdS VI uisuLiou Wituin uci DoIucre. All
parties have united in defence of the Con-
stitution. All classes Of our citizens have
renewed their vows of fealty to the insti-
tutions of their fathers. MARYLAND has,
therefore, moral weight with the South
which armies and navies cannot give. 1t
would be terrible, indeed, if she should,
under any combination Of circumstances,
be driven to place herself at the head of
the column of secession. Her declaration
of disunion would be fatal. Where would
Virginia be? Where. in fact, evey southern
STATED The result is too terrible for con-
temptation. And yet sir, we must look
this contingency right in the face. Do not
understand me as intimating that such dis
aster is upon US. Far from it. Heaven
forsend it. But it is necessary that should
tell you that our people are deeply and
justly exasperated. 1t is proper that you
should be frankly assured that nothing can,
or will. or ought to satisfy them but the
most prompt, thorough. and severe retri-
button upon the perpetrators of the muir
derous treason recently committed in Penn

that those worthy and patriotic judges,

ion tina, the crime amounted. to treason

The result Of the recent election for the Couver-
ton, however brought about, must be regarded, at
least for the present decisive of the position Of the
State and the great issue involved.
The majority have declared that they are content

and Democrat, | bow in respectful submission to

Ii is true the State has not yet spoken authoii,a-

the people; but by the election of non-rcssters
