on the I'D ult 1, and on the 25th, a Cabinet
meeting was held, at which Gen. Scott was
present, and which continued all day. Gen.

Tracy, the anxiety OF the officers to take

to diminish. He lett the bar room without

and of the unsuccessful attempt to take him
in custody, placed a warrant for him in the
hands of the United States Police, to be

The Protest of MARYLAND.

The noble Legislature of the State Of

cupied, and threatened on all sides by
Federal bayonets. speaking for Sovereign
State which the arbitrary mandate of
Federal Executive had hoped to silence.

moved by apprehensions of personal harm,
remembering that it is the constituted
and authorized guardian of citizens who
have been ualawfully seized and impris-

legally occupied and destroyed, its cal,a,
dignifed voice Of protest rises like the ut
terances of Senates ana Councils of clas-
sic days, and az worthy as they to be re-
corded in immortal history And it will
be 70 rccurtcd! The co,lra geous protest
of the Legislature of Maryland against the
tyranny which has dishon"rrl her. roll and
''subjugated' her people. will not fail to
find its fitting and honored place when
the annals of these evcntful days are writ
ten.
In the name of her violated sovereign
iy, Maryland, the Cradle OF American
Freedom. demonstrates against the inde-
fensible conduct Of Abraham Lincoln.
AS when the barbarian Gauls came to
Rome, they found the Conscript Fathers
sitting. unawed, unarmed and motionless
in the capital. from which they would not
be excluded with life. so to-day the con-
sti'utcd representatives Of Maryland re-
main in session upon the arrival of hostile
armies in their very city, needless Of dan
ger aud intent upon doing their duty.
President Lincoln may imprison them in
John MerrymaIl's prison cell in Fort Nj
Henry, or silence them by fusilade fro,n

never Can in,imidate them and that while
they remain in the Legislature Of Mary

determined and manly protest against his
outrages.
