To the People Of Maryland:
1t is right that you should know the pur-
pose that has brought the army under my
command within the limits of your State, so
far is that purpose concerns yourselves ..a
The people Of The Confederate States have
watched, with thc deepest sympathy, the
wrongs and outrages that have been inflicted
upon the citizens of a commonwealth allied to
the States Of the South by the strongest social,
politicai and commercial ties, reduced to the
condition of a conquered province under the
pTctence of supporting the Constitution, but
IN violation of its most valued p, DIVISIONS.
Your citizens have been arrested and i'm
prisoned upon no charge, and contrary to all
forms Of law faithful and manly protest
against this outrage, made by venerable and
i!lustrious Marylander to whom in better days
no citizen appealed for right in vain, was
treated with scorn and contempt; the govern
mcnt of your chief city has been usurped by
armed strangers your legislature has been
dissolved by the unlawful arrest of its mem
bers; freedom of the press and speech has
been suppressed; words have declared by Of
ticers Of an arbitrary decree of the Federal
executive and citizens ordered to be tried by
military commissioners for what they may
dare to speak. Believing that the people of
Maryland possess spirit too lofty to submit
to such aGovernment, the people of the South
bovo 1pno ,,ichoI 10 OIL -
this foreign yoke to enable you again t., enjoy
the inalienable rights of freedom, and restore
the independence and sovereignty Of your
State. "a. -
In obedience to this wish, our army has
come among you, and is prepared to assist
you with the power of its arms, in requiring
the rights of which you have been so unjust
ly despoiled. This, citizens of Maryland, is
our mission. So far as you are concerned, no
restraint upon your free will is intended No
intimation will be allowed within the limits of
this army, at least Marylanders, shall once
more enjoy their ancient freedom of thought
and speech. We know no enemies AMONG
you, and will respect your choice, whatever t
may be- And while the Southern people
will rejoice to welcome you to your natural
position among them, they will only welcome
you when you come from your own free
will. ,4 s-a 'a' r,f
