increasing? None for the potent causes would
farther South.
The South under separate conrederacy would be com
PEELED to prohibit or place restrictions emigration for
from what quarter it might, they would bring with
them principles inimcable to slavery 1t is madness for
the South to calculate greater security outside than in
side the Union There is safety for her in dsunon II
the threatenngs which surround us bring with them
the distraction which exists in commercial financial
and other relations what dire condition things would
result from dissolution But the Union must and shall
be prtsrued" This am and we call on all patriot
c men of every party who seek the perpetuity
suons, and the continuance of the blessings which
are ours to join with US in efforts in the establish
ment principles which will set these questions to rest
forever.
Mr. May said that it was proper he should state that
the reference in the address to the in which Bal
tmore and Maryland would be affected in disso.
luton was not made with the impression understand
ing that the value of the Union would be in dol
lars and cents The Committee could entertain such
idea Another point which the Committee would call at
tenoh TO- was lne language used towards Senator sum
| ner ana Gov. Andrew. Some Of the Committee had
thought the language too strong but it the Cen
| trail Cammittee to determine.
Gen Hammond, of Howard county, thought that time
had better be taken in the consideration of the address,
There much in it which received his hearty
dial approval but there parts to which he
could not give his appreciation He in favor of eav-
ing out entirely the constitutionaty of the question of
Intervention in the Territories by Congress 1t was en-
ough for the Democracy to abide by the doctrine as
question of policy, and nothing about the decisions
strong enough. As to the question secession could
not exist as right 1t the right of revolution,
nothing else Those who claimed any other right were
mistaken. This question should be put boldly the
people of Maryland and let them decide whether the
diton of things such that revolution would benefit
them He did not like that portion of the address which
referred to the dollar and cent losses in of sunion
He was in favor Of calling State Convention and invit
ing all men, of all parties who desired to participate
to join in sending delegates to it.
Mr.. May conended that it necessary for the Dem
ocacy OF the State to announce that they would abide
the decision of the Supreme Court on the question Of
territorial power. Until that decision it question
OF policy He again reverted 10 the falacy of the doc
rne or secession and quoted from Mr. Madison and the
OF Independence to prove the untenable po
sition of those who advocated it, The platform the
cesson party was only intended to last until the 9th day
OF November. 1t was scheme gotten up by designing
and ambitious men to usurp the rights of the people at
the ballot box The first object to divide the Demo
cratic party with the hope that Mr. Douglas would have
strength enough to the State of New York
other States and thereby throw the election into the House
OF Representatives and failing to election there
to take it to the Senate and thus continue themselves
power 1t the scheme the Senate backed by the
President Mr. May said that he had in the ad
dress to the effect dissolution would have Baltimore
the purpose reaching those men in the communitv who
could not be reached through their hearts and brains
but through their pockets 1t was well to undeceive
them now.
Dr. Fitzpatrick said he was in favor Of more considera
on, and therefore moved that committee of one from
each county be appointed to whom the matter of ad
| dress should be referred
Jervis Spencer seconded the notion holding the same
opinions.
mittee of five be appointed to whom the address
be referred with directions to publish the same
as possible
Mr.. Devecmon of ATegany opposed the Issuing of an
address.
Mr.. May offered resolution directing the Committee to
whom the address should be referred call State Con-
venon of the friends of the Union in this city
a day to be hereafter named.
The substitute of Mr.. Mafft and the resolution of Mr.
May were adopted, and the Convention adjourned.
