MEETING OF CONSERVATIVE UNION Men,
A meeting Of Conservative Union men of the
Tenth Ward was held in Baltimore on Wednes-
day evening, when the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved That VIC claim to belong to the only
unconditional Union party that we have fought
against an attempt at disunion at the South
and by force of arms have compelled the insur-
gents to lay down their weapons Of rebellion in
submission to the majesty of law and to the
authority of the Government; that we hold no
utilization with rebels, but are now, as before
ready to oppose disunion, let it come from what
quarter soever it may.
Resolved, That we regard as disloyal all those
who under the influence Of party spirit tear
down the national flag, or array themselves in
hostility against the authority Of the State or
Federal Government, and will unite ourselves
with all good and law-abiding citizens to oppose,
to the last extremity the Vaccinations of those
who by threats or violence, attempt to interfere
with the execution Of the laws, or to intimidate
our citizens in the exercise of their constitution
al rights.
Resolved, That we hail with delight the 10y
atty, the unfinching integrity and tirmness with
which our chief magistrate, Governor. Swami,
has done and still proposes to administer the
duties OF his high position unawed by the threats
of disunion politicians or of party aspirants for
office; and that we hereby pledge to him our
unWavering support in his firm and impartial
execution of the law.

STATE OF MARYLAND.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

Whereas it has come to the knowledge of the
Executive that military and other combinations
are now forming in the city of Baltimore for the
purpose of obstructing and resisting the execu-
ton of the laws of this State;
And whereas, there is reason to believe that
similar combinations are attempted to be or
gained in other States, with the intention Of
invading the soil Of the State of Maryland, to
deprive her citizens of their just right under
the laws, and to control the people of the State
by violence and intimidation:
Now, therefore, [, THOMAS SWAMI, Cover
nor Of the State of Maryland, do, by this, my
proclamation, solemnly WARN THE LEADERS Of
all such illegal and revolutionary combinations
against the peace and dignity of the State that,
In the event of riot or bloodshed growing out OF
these revolutionary proceedings, they will be
held to the strictest accountability, and the
power of the State will be exhausted to bring
them to prompt and mcrited punishment.
Given under my hand and the great seal OF
49, the State Of Maryland, at the CITY OF
L. S. Annapolis, this twenty-second day Of
- October, A. ID. 1865.
