IT, he People Of Maryland:
II is right that you should know the

cial, political and commercial ties, and
reduced to the condition of conquered
province, under the pretcnsc of support

its most valued provisions, Your cili.
zens have been arrested and imprisoned
upon no charge aud contrary 20 all forms
Of law.

Federal Executive, and citizens ordered
