long watched with the deepest sympathy the
wrongs and outrages that have been Inflicted
upon the c.tiz.ns OF Commonwealth, allied
to tie States of the South by the strongest
social, political end commercial ties.
They have seen with profound indignation
their sister States deprived of every right aud
reduced TO the condition of q conquered
province.

ton, but In violation OF Its most valuable pro-
visions, your citizens have bssn arrested and
Imprisoned upon no charge, a0d contrary to o |
forms Of law the faithful and manly protest.

and illustrious Marylander to whom in better

ment Of your chief city has been usurp.d by
armed strangers your Legislature has been
dissolved by the unlawful arrest of It's men,
bers freedom OF the press and Of speech has
been suppressed words have been declared
offences by an arbitrary decree Of the Federal
Executive, and citizens ordered to be tried by
