NTThe Proclamation Of Gov. Hicks, of
Nd, will be found in to-days Wing. 1t
elicits various comments; some approving
and others disappearing the position of armed
neutrality tho Governor seems disposed to
take. All have, doubtless, the welfare of
their State and country at heart, and only
dilltr as to the best mode Of sabserving that
interest. For our part, we can no longer see
any middle ground. We must be either on
the side Of right or on the side Of wrong -
A prompt response to tho Presidents call
upon the States for their quota of men, to
serve in defence of The government of the U.
S. is unquestionaby the duty Of every Gov.
ernor OF the States and the true policy for
the future as well as present welfare of the
State of Maryland especially. Such policy
on the part OF our State authorities would
serve to strengthen the wholesome sentiment
in favor Of sustaining the Government. and
prevent secession, anarchy, and general des-
trucion in the Border Slaves States.
We hope, however, that the report, that the
Governor intends, in day or two, issuing his
proclamation for the enrolment of our regi.
ments in Maryland for the defence of the
State If nothing more. may be correct. The
future, however, will prove, unquestionably
shat the safety Of Mary land snd the safety Of
the Federal Government are Synonymous.

The Case Stated.

The conspiracy to destroy the Federal
Government which commenced in secession
on the 23rd of last December, has at length
eliminated; and the men who have been
plotting treason at Charleston and Monigom-
cry for tho past few months, have commenced
hostilities against the United States. On
Friday, the 18th Of April, Fort SUMTER
fort belonging to the United States Govern
ment, sarrisoned by American soldiers, and
having the Star Spang,d banner waving
over it, was attacked, shot at, and captured
by an army assembled for tho purpose of
making war upon the General Government :;
and that Government must now assert its
authority and vindicate its honor. or acknowl-
edged itself BUNDLED and vanquishcd. For
months it has treated these rcbellious subjects
and their apolosiss with the utmost leniency
and has been met in return with insult, def
ancc and open war. Thus stands the case :;
and we must now decide whether we will
assist in enforcing the laws and crushing out
those who have rebclled and wagcd war upon
our Government, or submit 10 see it overturned
and destroyed. The hour has come when these
questions must be answered. The issue has
been made up and squarely presented, aud it
must be as s9uarcly met. There rs no neutral
ground. The man not in favor of s.Mt aiming
the Government is at heart a traitor. And
he who is not bodily and unqualiliedly for
the Union is against 1t. 1t is folly to m,nce
matters in times like these, and the lines may
as well be drawn at once. let us then have

CFlt is rumoIed that Samuel S. Mai1llt,
Esq, of this county, will be appointed by
Gov. Hicks TO fill the vacancy occasional by
the resignation Of Hon. VIM. ii. Purncll, late
Comptroller of the Treasury. We hope the
rumor may be correct. There is no man in
the State so eminently qualified in every
respect for the position as Mr.. uffitt, aud
no one whose appointment would give such

Correspondence of The Cecil Whig.1
NORTH EAST April 10 1Sf


DEAR WING The war news WA, received
here with the most intense excitement BY our
citizens generally, who have determined TO
organize Volunteer Military Company At
once and hold themselves ready TO obey the
summons Of the Governor at moment s
warning.
One OF our promnan! citizens declared if
the State would not furnish arms, lie would
iurnlsa them himself. Measures are now
being taken to have the Stars and Strips
ho,s'ed at most of the prominent points of our
village.
lhers appears to be few nongreI seces-
sion'sts amongst us, who have secession in
thelr hearts, but are ashamed to acknowledge
it publicly.
The excitement with regard to promscuous
sitting in church &C.. has died out, and pre-
parations for war predominant. Yours,
OCCASIONAL.

ny-Let the men who have talked about
coercion mark this: The attack on Fort
Sumter was made entirely without provoca-
ton; no effort having been made to reinforce
or provision it. In their madness these men
have arrayed themselves against the Govern
mcnt and attempted TO break it down. How
long VIII men in our midst dare TO apologize
for them! The Constitutional definition OF
treason is, d" aiding and abetting the enemies
Of the Government, or giving them aid and
cOmfort.'
