the conviction that the only raie'y q Maryland lies
in preserving neutral position between our brethren
of The North and OF the South. We have violated no
right Of either section We have been loyal 10 The
Union The unhappy oonsst between the two sections
has not been commenced encOuragedbY although
have suffered from IL in part. The impending war
has not come by any act or any wish Of ours. We
have done all we could 10 avert H. We have hOpedthat
Mary land and other Border Slave states, by their CON
eeryatiye position and love for the Union, might have
acted eat0rs between the extremes OF both sec-
tons and thus have prevented the terrible evils Of
prolonged civil war. Entertaining these views,
cannot counsel Maryland TO take sides against
the General Government until il shall commit Outrages
which would justify US in resisting its authority
As consequence can give no other counsel than that
shah array Ourselves Tor Union and peace,
and thus preserve our soil from being polluted
with the blood Of brethren. Thus if wsr must be be-
tween the North and South, we may force the
tending parties TO transfer the field OF battle from
