Gen. Lee has issued the following proc.
lamation:
LEES HEADQUARTERS, ARMY NORTH VIRGINIA, ,
Near Frederick, Sept. 3.
To the People Of Maryland:
1t Is right that you should know the
purpose that has brought the army un.
der my command within the limits OF
your State, SO far as that purpose concerns
yourselves. The people of the Confede
rate States have watched, with the deep
est sympathy, the wrongs and outrayes
that have been inflicted upon the citi
zens of commonwealth allied to the
States of the South by the strongest So
ciaI, lolitl al and commercial ties, reduc
cd to the condition of a conquered PROV
ince under the pretence of supporting
the Constitution, but in violation of its
most valued provisions.
Your citizens have been arrested and
Imprisoned upon no charge, aud contrary
to all forms o: law; a faithful and manly
protest against this outrage, made BY a
venerable and illustrious Marylander to
whom in better days no citizen appealed
for right 10 vain, was treated with scorn
and contempt; the government Of your
chief city has been usurped by armed
strangers; your legislature has been dis.
solved by the unlawful arrest of its M em.
beers; freedom of the press and speech has
been suppressed; words have declared by
officers of an arbitrary decree of the Fed.
eral executive, and citizens ordered to
be tried by military commissioners for
what they may dare to speak. Believing
that the people of Maryland possess a
spirit too lofty to submit to such Gov.
ernmcnt, the people of the South have
long wished to aid them in throwing off
this foreign yoke to enable YOU again to
ENJOY the inalienable rights Ct freedom.
and restore the independence and SOW
reignty of your State.
In obedience to this wish, cur army
has come among you, and is prepared to
assist yoa with the power of its arms, in
requiring the rights of which YOU have
been so unjustly despoiled. This, citi.
zers of Maryland, is our mission. So
iaras you are concerned, no restraint upon
your free will is Intended. No intiIni.
dalton will be allowed within the lin.
Its OF this army, at least Marylanders,
shall once more enjoy their ancient free.
dom of thought and speech. We know
no enemies among you, and will respect
your choice, whatever it may be. And
while the Southern people will rejoice to
welcome you to your natural position
'mons them, they will only welcome YOU
When you come from your own free win. |
