The Daily Dispatch: December 20, 1861., [Electronic resource], Letter from Ex-Governor Lowe, of Maryland. (search)
t to heart with Virginia, stand as a dreaded sentinel on the northernmost rampart of the young republic. Maryland and Virginia together possess the Chesapeake and Potomac. They jointly hold the great railroad which unites Baltimore city to Wheeling and Parkesburg. They are the proprietors of the wealth of the Alleghanies; the boundless coal-fields; the stupendous ship timber; the inexhaustible beds of iron ore. They have the same soil and productions; the same climate, mountains and vallend its great railroad, how can you make it the interest of Western Virginia to shake off the foul embrace of the invader? That public work is essential to the development of the wealth of the mountain counties, and the manufacturing industry of Wheeling is but the handmaid of the commercial enterprise of Baltimore. To give up Maryland would in fact be to assume the herculean labor of conquering North western Virginia not by love and community of interest, but by the red vengeance of the sword.
