NO QUARREL WITH MARYLAND


In The Baltimore SIM of the 22d inst.-only
Monday last, while all MARY land was swarming
like a camp of armed men, and Baltimore itself
was gwen over to Secession mob-we find the
following paragraph:
Maryland has NO quarrel with the North and desires
and is Der snd not her ian she + to Dc thrust
into Unnatural c1bct which ste has no disposition 10 seek
aud certainly will not provoke"
No quarrel. We beg leave to tell her, then,
the North has one with her Massachusetts
does not forget her dead Eghty.six years ago,
the grass at Lexington was stained with the
blood Of sons of hers who laid down their lives
in defense of the Liberties of their countryj and,
on the anniversary of that event, last week, men
and women were gathered together IN the old
Bay State in solemn commemoration of those
who died that day. They did not know that at
that very moment other sons Of Massachusetts,
were baptiziDg in blood q new revolution, aud
that their unbured bodies were then stretched
upon the soil of Maryland. 81 pray you send
them home teDderly," says the Massachusetts
Governor 10 the Mayor of Baltimore. Will tho
State tnat reyerently cherishes the memories Of
near a century forget the sudden grief of week
dead sons will remind her of No quarrel
Massachusetts, and the North are one. Let
MARY land look to it
No quarrel! No provocation Near the grave

country. Let The Baltimore San, and all other
Baltimore ldmiuaries, both great aud small,
whether lights Of the day or lights of the night,
remember that the North has a quarrel with her
which is to be settled, and can be settled, in Que
way only Maryland must submit, and return to
tho most contrite good behaviour and submis-
sion, or the North conquers her, even if she an.
initiates her in doing it.
