But the feeling of dissatisfaction occa-
stoned by deep sense of wrong does not
stop here. There are hundreds Of our
citizens who would prefer TO sever tho
bonds which have SO long connected us
with the Western Sorc, aud and Unite their
fortunes with another State, sooner than
submit to what they consider both unjust
and degrading.
The Constitution Of the United Stqtes
has provided for snch division. Many.
of them believe that our prosperity would
be vastly promoted by union with Dell
aware, and consider It a mockery to cnter
into new constitution whilst the faith
of the State is so recklessly disregardcdJ
The increase in the number Of those
classes is greater than can easily be real,
lied by those who have not seen il for
themselves; and, together with those
whose sectional feelings have been in
creased to a degree heretofore unknown,
will soon include our entire population.
We earnestly desire to see these con-
sequences avcrted and these feelings all
laycd, and we feel that we are performing
a duty to the whole State, as well as to
our own section Of it, when we beseech
our brethren of tho Western Shore to
ponder seriously the statement VIC have
here presented to them, and consider
whether it may not be better to aid us
in obtaining speedy justice for ourselves,
and maintaining the faith Of the State,
than to persist IN ~ course which cannot
fail to ALLEVIATE the affections Of those who
have proved their devotion to the West
ern Shore and to the whole State, by adj.
herring to them as We haze done through
so many years of trial and adversely.
Signed by the Officers Of the Convention.

The eccentricitics of genias are

of Ihoa. Maize to enjoy himself. Ever

then asked everybody up todrink, which
everybody did, and fell back to allow
everybody else to come up and do like

friends, and Thomas Maize, ESD, wbirl-
