cy, Maryland has no share. Her people
ever were, and now are, jealous in support
Of the Constitution and Government which
they were foremost in forming and adopt
ing.
No threat of treason has ever been whis-
pered within her limits, while the blessings
and advantages Of the Union have been full
ly estimated and appreciated. The loss of
those advantages it is felt would be utter
ruin. In this ruin 1.-THE States would more
or less share; but our geographical position
would make it immediate aud total.
Separation is impossible.
But for the resistance to the Just and le-
gal authority, the Government had given
no cause; and had the friends of constitu
tional rights remained at their posts in Con-
grcss, the powers of the Government 10
trausgress its authority could have been ef-
fetually thwarted.
The leaders of the rebellion were actuated by
an unholy thirst for official power. The fact is
evidenced in the elevation to place of all who
have desecrated official positions and plotting
treason. They may rs well strike at the Heav-
ems with their arms as against the American
Union Defeat was certain to rebellion.
The free States according to the last census
have 3,77S,000 males between the ages of lS and
As. The slave States exclusive of Virginia, had
only 53l 090, and the difference in wealth is
proportionate to that of men, With such a vast
disparity the end of the struggle is beyond
doubt.
1t was the aim of the South to confne the
war to the border States. Mr.. Cobb was even
now congratulating them in the removal of it
from their midst; but Maryland should frus-
trate this cowardly policy. Let those who
have provoked the war bear the entire brunt.
Marylands proper position is to remain firm
| in her loyalty to the government.
The rebellion leaders had done all they could
! for Mr.. Lincoln's election, as the means of pre-
cipitating revolution in the South They relied
! for the success of their plans on the interven-
tion of the border States and divisions in the
North, but they were short sighted men. The
! first gun fired at noble and starving garrison,
was blow at the Nations heart and united
North had sprung to arms in vindication Of the
flag and for the maintainahce of the government.
| Heaven forbid the duty of that vindication
should be forgotten by Maryland.
Several arrests were made yesterday and
to-day of parties charged with participating
in the attack on the Massachusetts troops.
There has been a stampede among the sus-
pected. Seventy of the rioters have disap-
peared.
