regarded 1T as remedy for any evil that does or
may exist IN the Union. He therefore hoped that
the resolutions would be laid on the table.
| Mr.. TURNER, of Baltimore, considered that even
the reception of those resolutions was a blow at the
| Union. They ought not to be received or consid-
| cred. He viewed them invitation to Mary
land to join in act of treason and as the military
step to bring down this glorious nation TO a condi-
ton that would be hailed by the enemies of civil
| ana religious freedom all over the world.
Mr. GoLDSBoRoUGH, of Caroline, said that he
would, IN the event Of persistence in aggression
by the North, be ready to secede from the Union
| as South Carolina was. He loved the Union-but
| ne would ask the gentleman from Washington
| county whether there was state of circumstan-
ces under which he would favor secession-wbeth-
er he would tamely submit in preference to resist
| ing these continued aggressions
MT. fREANER could see no circumstance now eX-
lstlng, or likely to exist, that could induce him to
advocate dissolution of this glorious cOnfederacy
such state of affairs might arise, but he could
not IN the present condition of affairs, see any evil
that dissolution of the Union would remedy He
was IN favor OF maintaining the rights of the South
IN the Union, and holding inviolate the sacred
olrthright handed down to us bv WASHINGTON and
our ioreiathers. Secession would aggravate the
eVlis oil which we complain, rather than put stop
to them.
The question was then taken on the motion to Law
them on the table, and lost. Ayes 27, nays IS.
Mr. FORD, OF Baltimore county, then moved that
they be referred to the Committee on Federal Re-
latlons, and he had doubt that series of resolu-
tions would be presented by that Committee which
would express the Union sentiments of MARYLAND
on that subject.
Mr. LoNG, of Somerset seconded the motion of
MT. Ford. 1t was no difference whether we an
prove or dsapprove of the sentiments of the reso-
lutlons, 1t was the duty of Maryland to respond to
them and receive them with that respectful consid-
eratioh Whlch one sovereign State has the right to
expect from another.
Mr.. FREANER did not know what were the SEN
uments OF the members of the Committee on Feder-
alhelatons on this question, but he thought they
would report unanimously, declining to particnsfa
| In any dIsunion assemblage.
Mr. COMPTON, of Charles, would assure the gen
n neHah as member OF the Committee on Federal
relations, that there at least one member who
would not sign report adverse to these resolu-
tOns.
Mr. FREANER-I am sorry to hear it. | had
formed better opinion Ofthe national sentiments
I ol the gentleman. hope there very few gem
temen, on or off of the Committee, who wouId de-
clare such an intention
Mr.. JACoBs said that he would go into the Con-
Ventlon with South Carolina, in order to prevent
dissolution of the Union. HI was no disunionist
but he wished an opportunity for united Soutb
TO 1orewarn Northern fanaticism. He would move
that the reso outions be made the order of the day
lot W ednesday next.
Mr.. COMPTON said that he was NOT for disrrior
under all circumstances but he was prepared to
demand cessation Of Northern aggression. and if
persisted in be would go in for a secession from the
Union. IT we cannot live together in harmony
! he would go in for separation.
MT. LONG hoped that the resolutions would be re-
1erred to the Committee on Federal Relations and
that resolutions will be prepared by that Commit
zee that Will properly represent the sentiment of
Maryland. This he thought was the proper and
most respectful course to pursue.
The resolutions were first taken on the proposi-
uon to make them the order of the day TOR Wed
nesday next, at II o'clock, an6 adopted with little
or no opposition.
