b i'm, and demanding by his resolutions adopt.
ed at Elkton, that our rebel Legislature
should be called together and.pledging Ma
ryland to 60 with the South. Mr.. Clayton,
who was Mr.. Creswell's nominee for Mar
shal lately, had blank warrants furnished
him without limit, signed by Don Piatt, to
arrest any man he should consider in the way
OF Creswel's S election. 1t was proved, also,
| understand, defore committee of the
Legislature, that some time prior to this
election Mr., Davis informed gentleman
from the Eastern Shore, believing him to be
of his party, that all the necessary measures
would be taken to carry the election that
the order had been prepared and printed by
General Schenck, but that it would not do
to publish it till within few days before the
election because Blair would get Lincoln to
be the fact. The order was revoked, but
the revocation, as had been well calculated,
did notreach the Eastern Shore in time
Members chosen represent Mr.. Stanton,
not the people of Maryland, and serve but
to delude our happier and freer neighbors
as to our sentiments. 1t would be far bet
ter and more consistent with true dignity
for us to share the absolute disfranchise-
ment of the other Southern States than to
have our seats filled by the nominees OF Mr..
Stanton. And this brings me to consider a
measure adopted by the Legislature, as elm
mated, remodeled and corrupted by the in
strument of this man, which threatens to
| disturb the harmony of our people, and to
plant ranking and bitterness in the hearts
Of neighbors-I allude to the law for the re-
| Storation of voteas. .saE .
| In conclusion Mr.. Blair says: ...-
| Tie war is over. There is no slavery to
make now one The passions connected
with it are subsiding. We have great ca
reer before us. Gus struggle, bloody and
expensive as it has been, will impart new
| life to the country and new impetus to in
dustry. Let us set the example of inaugu-
rating an era of good feelings. II have
seemed, in the reflections | have made in
this address upon the distinguished men /
have named, to be animated by different
spirit, let me assure you have animadvert-
ed their acts only because they are the rep
reseutative men Of the unrelenting party in
the country, and want to show them that
their heroes have also need of amnesty.
I am willing they should have it,. But on the
other hand, | should like Judge Campbell
and Mr. Stevens, and others who had erred
to be forgiven: that our people should have
real peace and a share in the Government
their fathers founded, and which they have
to maintain. And | ask this, not out of any
feeling that the section was born in is more
my country than any other Free govern
ment cannot last long in either section with
practical dismemberment Of the Union, or
with the assertion of the General Govern.
ment o. greater power over any one State
than the Constitution allows, or than is
claimed or would be tolerable in another
The military suhcction of the section entails
in the end, arbitrary government upon both.
Cur eagle must expand both its wings
Our National Republic must poise itself on
both sections if it would move safely on its
Glorious mission.
