The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-06-28

When, after having under false pretenceS sum-
moned the people of the North TO arms, Mr.. LIN
COLIN permitted it to be known that he designed TO
march his forces Southwark, he distinctly and I'M
equivocally disavowed all intention of attempting
to subjugate the slave States His purpose was,
he said to repossess the forts and other property
which had belonged to the Federal Government
and to afford protection to the ,''Union men, Of
the seeded section. These, in his view, consti.
tuted large majority of the people everywhere
south of the Potomac, and they were, he asserted
held in subsection by armed and despotic mi
nority. 1t was merely then to give this majority
an opportunity of expressing its wishes freely and
fairly that the Northern soldiers were to be sent
through Virginia and down the Mississippi. The
Government did not, we were told, intend to es-
tahlish its authority over the rebellious South by
binding the arms of its whole people, and by in
stalling petty and friendly faction in power in
each of the dissatisfied States, but it only designed
to offer rallying point there to loyal men, and
thus give them the power, as they already bad
the will, to restore the old relations between their
several States and the Government at Washing
ton. Such was the theory Of Mr.. LINCOLN and
his partisans, or at least such was the announce
ment that his Cabinet made to the country. The
recent acts Of the Administration have demon
strated its duplicty-ts treatment of Mary
land has given the lie TO its fair promises-its
arbitrary proceedings, which have eliminated
in the measures resorted 10 here yesterday, have
warned the Southern people of the vengeance
With which it would visit them should it triumph
over them tomorrow. The Northern cohorts
have been marched into Maryland, and the State
is under their domination. The "Union men, -
who have never for an instant been molested-
who have been permitted to arm and organize at
poasure-have had for weeks past the fullest
assurances Of safety hat the regiments and cannon
of the North can afford them. They have been
thoroughly "proteced" have had the
amplest opportunity of proving, if they could,
that the people of Maryland are loyal to Mr..
LINCOLN, and are DESTROYS to facilitate the Admin
istraton in the prosecution of this demonstrations
al and fanatcal war The "Unon men" can
surely have desired nothing more. Why, then,
is outrage after outrage inflicted upon Maryland /?
Why is some new chain forged daily for her
people? Why are frivolous charges Of treason
preferred against them by juries which the gov
ernment officers select? Why are midnight
arrests of her citizens made? Why are the arms
of the people of Baltimore seized and her police
superseded? Why are the soldiers Of reckless
and forsworn Administration closing in upon
her? For what are all these things done, except
to ntimidate Maryland? There is no escape from
this condition. Opposition to the policy of the
government is to be crushed out. Sympathy for the
cause Of the South is TO be rendered mute Resist
by rrorA aaaa 10 e~,- ~~L:t-~-,-
which Mr.. LINCOLN and his partisans may enter
is to be summarily checked. The absolute subju-
CATION of this State, by the Black Republican fac
ton which has attained to power, is determined
on, and is in process of execution. This is the
meaning of the recent measures which, in defiance
of the laws and the Constitution, have been re-
sorted to here by the President. As it is with
Maryland to-day, so would it be with Virginia to-
morrow should the militia of New England
obtain a foothold in the brave old State But
she has been warned in time. The spirit of
Liberty which watches ever by the tomb of WASH
INGToN sounded the alarm, and a million men will
bar the progress Southwark of Mr. LIYCoLN's
arms
