The Governors message briefly details
the startling events which induced him tn
assemble the legislature. He lsbored
earnestly to induce the President to fore
60 his purpose in passing troops through
Maryland, but the reply was. military
necessity rendeS4d 1t unavoidable. The
Governor refused to grant to Gen. Butler
his consent to land forces. and protested
against his taking possession OF the An
napolis railroad. Notwithstanding our
most learned and intelligent citizens ad-
NIT the right Of government to transport
troops over the railroad, it is evident that
portion Of Marylsnd oppose the excer-
else of this right. His convictions are.
that safety to Maryland lies in preserving
neutral position between the north and
south. Maryland violated no right Of
either section. and We did al We could "a
avoid impending war. He hoped Mary
land might act As mediator. He cannot
counsel Maryland to take sides against the
general government until it shall commit
some outrage upon her which will justify
her resisting its authority.
