SCRIpTION.

MARYLANDERS AND THE con
SCRIpTlON.
from the Richmond Examiner
It is most remarkable c;rcuu.stan.
that the suggestion made in Congress t.
conscript Marylanaers in the tonfederacy
that is. men who are not here bv acci-
iea', but have come here with professions
of devotion in their nouihs-shou!d have
produced such explosions Of Indignation in
the minds of those patriots. Ii th.ir az
fections of zeal for the Suu,h are to be ac-
counted true. then they should rejoice al
the occa.ion which Congress desires to
give them. of Sighting on the Same ground
and iu the same character a. other Con
Tolerate soldiers, such law should DC
deemed privilege; at least. it is no oc-
cason for resentment and for such de-
clamatiou as those with which Mr.. De-.
Jarnette INDUCED in the House Of Req.
reseuta,ives s"me days ago. Mr.. DeJar'
uette, however. has a reputation for snort
ing and colicky eloquence in the House
and the invocation to My Maryland
was probably intended on:y to relieve hi:
owu bowels Of some win:y rhetoric. b.,
this as it may. Maryland has but little rea.
son to appreciate compliment which com
pares those Of her citiz-ns in the South Ii
'prisoners Of war;" and by the force o.
bis Infamous comparisons. seeks TO cxou
crate them from military service; or which
louri.hes in Congress this Disgusting and
detestable threat. Pass this bill, and i,
my opinion you add MANY thousand re.
cruits to Abraham Lincoln's army"
The motives which Mr. DeJarnetie ha:
for bis eulosy Of Maryianders are easily
explained. as he comes from district
which is the focus of blockade runners.
This is the explanation of the whole mat
ter, and Mr.. DeJarueac having dcbasec
himself by defense OF this vile and vaga
bond class, attempts to shuttle his respon
