MARYLAND.

We are glad to see that the Enquirer has some sym
patty for Maryland It hASno patience WITH the outside
Brbarans Of the Northwest who have their sabres at
our threats No matter how many friends We may
have in that region it would treat all as brgands and
eut-hroats Any polite consideration is wholly out OF
The question Even if we could by diplomacy turn the
tables on the abolition faction in that section, and by
the aid Of their own neghbOrs ezterminse them-Our
contemporary would have nothing to do with any such
unmanly e1pedients He is content with nothing less
than bullets and blades he would make no difference
between our friends and our foes; he confoands the
whole in one ndiseriminae mass aud would deal With
them ali at the point Of the bayOnet. There is more
Of passion aud prejudice in this kind of talk, than Of
reason and craftsmanship Uttered by rrespOnsibe
individual, it would be harmless; but coming from .
paper supposed to enjoy official inspirations, it lcu
lated to do and we see from Northern papers doing
as very serious injury.
We shall not initiate the example in speaking Of Nary
land Our sympathies are, and always have been with
the good and true of that State No doubt there are
- vile Yankees within is borders as can be found in
Massachusetts, and il was the boast of its constituted
authorities that it was the first State pay the Federal
tar for wagug war upon Us But these bitter facts
nave not unnamed Us Win tsOu nOr leu u ~ COnOuHu
the innocent with the guilty In dealing with Ill these
border States-where We have as true and devoted
friends as can be found in any other States, policy
should be to encourage those friends by wise and cOnc
atory measures and enable them, if possible, to gain
the asoendency within their borders This accom-
prished, and that ascendency fixed upon safe basis
the Yankee element would speedily disappear, like Sora
before frost.
It does very well to talk about scourgng the brgln'
and it may be very pretty operation when have
the ability to do it, but in e absence Of that ability it
searsey the part Of wise craftsmanship neglect any
other of safety and deliveranee. Environed as
We are at home with an enemy numerically our supe
ior and without reliable sympathy ia Europe it would
SEEN a very obvious dictate Of prudence TO exhaust
every resource OF diplomacy to supply deficiency.
Ia treating With the Northwestern States there is one
consideration apart from the general ones OF common
aJeIests which might be addressed 10 them With great
iorce II this continues u-Aly years It must pro
uee physical and pecuniaEy exhaustion, bOto of the
south ard the Northwest toe sole advantage of the
Eastern Ylnkees-whO are every day rSaping profit;

city. He says the Federal vessel Brooklyn up to
