when the shadows that dit across the
earth from passing clouds are little less
feetinz than this once formidable agency
or interest, which has taken sueh infinite
pains 70 insure its own complete destrue-
ton.
Well, the consequences of thus ciingiBg
70 the traditions of the psst-the errors Of
the past-is apparent in our State to-day.
Certain genLlemen-prominent heretofore
IN the political history of the StAte-ear-
not divesE themselves of the notion that
the moving cause of the rebellion, not only
its own destroyer, but the destroyer Of that
power so long Welded in the South, il still
something that must yet be deferred 70,
must be eoEcilisted, must be teuderly dealt
With They will not see ifs feroeity even

fierce threats, the savage denaaciStiOas

Slavery perish, but let the Uaion endure
So far a. The Institution in Maryland Is
in the case, ne have long since done what
re could 10 soften the visitation brought
upon LOYAL owners Of slsTef BY the mAduea
Of the Cotton SEates- We have done this
by urging emancipation and cOmpenss-
ton" Il has not been ORr fault that GER
tain gentlemen, high in political position
before referred tO-haTe persistently
stood in the way of any such measures
| But, with the institution here going sdrift
pieeemesI in the storm that has been pro-
| voked By its supporters elsewhere, it will
be the fault of the great body of the trnly
LOYAL of the State if this do nothing, tender
footed policy is still permitted to hold
sway At the very crisis of our fate, as it
were, those who are not up with the ext
gencies Of this hour Of revolution, and
blOOdshed and change, must give way TO
those who are.
Finally, We would say to those who are
for the Union ''uuCouditioually," who are
determined that every assailaut of it shall
perish in its track ere it shall perish, now
is the time TO marshal that phalanx which
lin the support Of the Government, OF
free institutions-is destined 70 bear down
all before it. Without concerning them
selves too much about the fate here Of an
Institution already in the last stages OF
dissolution, Jet them touch elbows through
cut the State; let them know each other,
Gnd prepare 20 deal alike With SSruplss
which would PArAliEs the GoTernneot, OF
