territory is fatal to the greatness, security
and prosperity Of the American people and
especially runous to every interest of the
people of Maryland, and that we here pl dye
ourselves in person and property to support
the Government in the prosecution of this
war till every rebellions weapon sinks into
submission before stH B,g Of the nation.
Reso!red, That while onethird Of the pco-
pie of Maryland are false to their allegiance.
two-hirds of her people are loyal ter the Gov-
| crninunt of their fathers, and ready to bear
| their full share If the burdens of this war,
personal and financial. bnt arc not willing to
follow all who are ready to lead them. They
| are entitled to be treated with Conscience and
| respect by thos. in authority over them to
have men who enjoy their confidence selected
by the Government to lead them int, the
field, and to have The confidence and respect
of the Government expressed by the elevation
| to responsible commands of due proportion
| Of Mary land men compctant 10 command and
thought To be so by their tellow-citizcns.
| And in the hope that this will be so Tor the
future, We earnestly invoke the young men of
the State to tender their services to the Guv-
rrnmcnt To I'll mp the Maryland quota, in the
! fu confidence that the people of the State
viii supply the neglect of the late Lcgisla-
ture. and place the volunteers of Maryland on
full footing with those Of the most liberal
! State
Rpsoice3, That il tn" neglect of the Legs
| Iatnre to make provisions for the inevitable
expenses Of organizing a volunteer force
which no loyal State but Mary land has been
deprived should prove serious obsticlc
to filling the Maryland Quota by volunteers.
in cur opinion the President should call on
the militia to fill the deficiency, whereby
while the Government will secure the requi-
site men, the diSloyal men of the State will
have to bear a part of the burthcns their
wckedncss has imposed upon the Country.
Rrsoired. That military power is the only
adequate means for the suppression of the
rebellion, and the energy of its use should
knew no other limits than the laws of war,
the requirements of the Constitution and the
necessities Of the case; that armed traitors
can avoid their seventies ny laying down their
arms. and those in arms have no right to
complain; and the traitors who swarm in our
streets. giving aid and comfort TO their con
| fcdcrateS in arms, are entitled to no more
tender treatment, and by their insolcnce pro-
I woke and merit summary chastisement.
Resoired, That while conlisca ion and cman-
clpation of the property and slaves Of Rebels
! may not be an efficient means of suppreSSing
the rebellion, they arc essential to cripple the
power of those now in arms to embariuss the
restoration OF peaceful and constitutional
government after their military power is
broken; and therefore we hearth, approve of
| the policy OF contiscating the property Of the
leaders OF the rebellion, and declaring tn
slaves "l every rebcl Tree from all obligation
