TREASON IN MARYLAND.

BALTIMORE, May 3.-The act to create
committee of safety will pass. The governor
has no veto power. The union men are with.
out arms, and already feel the reign of terror
upon them. Their only hope is in the federal
government.
At the Union ward meetings held last night
throughout the city delegates were elected to
the city convention to meet next Monday.
The delegates meet tomorrow TO take action
relative to the public safety bill Resolutions
were adopted in all the wards to the following
purport: =
That we cherish the constitution and laws
of the United States, and will devote our for
tunes and lives to defend their integrity
against all revolutionary or violent assaults
that we regret the violent attack on the troops
of the United States while peacefully march
ing through the city to protect the seat
of government, and Indignantly repud-
late making it pretext for an organ.
lied mob, under the disguise OF special
police, to place the city in hostile attitude to
the general government The resolutions de
clare adherence at the attempt of the legsla-
ture to inaugurate military despotism by the
bill for the creation of "board of public
safety" and that the persons named for said
board have not the confidence OF the people,
and we protest against the whole measure, as
an invasion on the prerogatives of the gov.
ernor, and usurpation of the executive pow.
er by the legislature.
The meetings were largely attended and
very enthusiastic. A strong feeling of indig-
nation was manifested against the proposed
action of tue legislature.
Rumors are current that United States
troops have crossed the Maryland line, and
are now moving towards the city. The latest
accounts from Frederick leave the senate
still on the public safety bill. The union men
were battling it with various amendments,
with the prospect OF an all night session; but
the senate adjourned without final action.

FROM VIRGINIA.

WASHINGTON, May 3-The ordinance of
secession, it is now ascertained, was passed
through the convention OF Virginia by vote
of 80 yeas to SO nays, Accompanying the
ordinance is sceduIe authorizing poll to be
opened in each military camp of Virginia vol
unteers, whether in or out of the state TO as
certain the sense of the voters there assembled
upon the question of ratifying or rejecting the
ordinance by the people. 1t is also provided
that the election tor members OF congress for
Virginia to the House of Representatives of
the congress OF the United Sta es, required by
law to be held on the fourth Tuesday in May
next, be suspended until otherwise ordained
by the convention.

KENTUCKY AND MISSOURI.

LOUISVILLE, May 3.-Gov. Magoftin has
issued a proclamation, ordering an election of
representatives to congress, on the Both ofnext
June.
ST. LOUIS, May 3.-The lower house of the
legislature elected all officers except that for
speaker pro TEN. Harris was elected over
Boyd. The governors message says, the
president, in calling out troops to subdue the
seeded states, has threatened civil war, and
his act is unconstitutional and illegal, and
tending towards a consolidated despotism.
While he evidently justifies the action of
the confederate states in seeding, he does
not recommend immediate secession, but
holds the following language Our interests
and sympathies are identical with those of the
slaveholding states, and necessarily unite our
destiny with theirs. Missouri has no war to
prosecute, but must make the most ample
preparation for the protection of her people
against the aggression of all assaIants." He
therefore recommends the appropriation of a
sufficient sum OF money to place the state in
a complete state of defence, and appeals to
the people to avoid all tumult, and to obey
implicitly the constituted authorities.
