nation has just been issued -
HEADQUARTERS, Baltimore, Nov. l, 1861
To the L. S. Marshal of Maryland, and the Pro.
vost IMarShal OF the Ciy Of Baltimore Inform
alton has come to my knowledge, that certain
individuals, who formerly resided i'll this state,
and are known to have been recently in Vir-
ginia, bearing arms against the authority and
the forces Of the United States, have returned
to their former homes, with the intention OF
taking part in the election of the 9th
Of November instant thus carrying out
at the polls the treason Which they
have committed in the field. There is rea-
son also to believe that other individuals, lately
residents of Maryland, who have been engaged
in similar acts OF hostility to the United
States or in actively aiding and abetting
those in arms against the United States, are
about to participate in the election, for the
same treacherous purpose, with the nope of
carrying over the state by dIsoyal votes to
the cause Of rebellion aud treason. l. there
fore, by virtue OF the authority vested in me to
arrest all persons in rebellion against tile Uni
ted States, require you to take into custody
all such ersOns in any OF the election districts
or precincts in which they may appear at the
polls to effect their>crminal attempt to convert
the elective franchise into AN engine for the
subversiou Of the government, aud for the
encouragement and support OF its enemies.
In furtherance OF this object J. request the
judges OF election OF the several precincts of
the state, in case any such person shall
present himself and offer his vote, to commit
him until he can be taken into custody by the
authority OF the United States, and l call on
all good and loyal citizens to support the
judges Of election, the United States marshal
and his deputies, the provost marshal OF Bal
tinorc, and the police, in their efforts to Sc
cure free and lair expression Of the voice Of
the people OF Mary land, and at the same time
to prevent the ballot box from being polluted
by treasCnabe votes.
