Many reasons exist to draw towards this Border
State much attention, and much speculation exists
in the public mind as to the position which Mary
land may now or ultimately in the exist
ing perturbed state of national affairs No
State of the Confederacy has stronger and more
cogent reasons for putting forth labored and pa
triotic efforts to arrest the tide of observance
than this Border State-her geographical position;
her strong identity of Interest and blended bust
ness relations with the manufacturing and aori-
cultural interests of both the Northern and South
ern sections; the loyalty of her people; their deep
reverence for its original constitutional purity
and safety, the descendants of the original set
tiers of one of the original thirteen, all concur to
make her people constitutional and Union-loving
people.
Whilst deeply imbued with this great love and
reverence for the Union, they are, nevertheless,
very tenacious of their due privileges rights, and
constitutional guarantees; whilst fully conceding
all of every section the fullest extent of right and
privileges under the Constitution, she is not pre-
pared to abate one iota other own.
Though occupying peculiar geographical posi-
ton, she is STILL by all her interests, locality and
institutions, thoroughly Southern State and guard
eddy jealous of her rights. We are well satisfied
that certain journals, strongly in the interests of
the insane and reckless antcompromise party
are both deceiying their adherants and placing
Maryland in false attitude, when they assume to
say that in the event of division of our republic
INTO slave-hoding and non-saveholding States
Maryland could from any train of circumstances
be induced to withhold her aid, cooperation and
In November last the successful candidate for
the Presidency received twenty two hundred and
nlnety-our votes in an aggregate of nearly ninety
three thousand. Maryland is ready TO rcpudiate
any position whch.may give her doubtful attitude.
Whilst she is true and loyal to the Union and Con
stitution, she is to-day thoroughly identified with
the interests and destiny of the Southern States as
any one Of them. If the emergency should ever
arise that she should be compelled to abandon her
position under the banner OF the stars and striDes
which God forbid! her entire people will be found
ralyIng as one man to the standard of Southern
rights. The taunts threats, or even caiolings of
Northern extremists will have other effect upon
her people than still more concentrate their feel
Ings and actions against sectional fanaticism and
the malignant spirit OF coercion.- Washington
