Marylanders
--The persecuted citizens of
Maryland continue to escape to
Virginia.
Many of them are marked men, whose time for arrest is only postponed for fear of making the excitement too great by a wholesale capture and imprisonment of all that are put under the ban. We yesterday conversed with
Mr. P. S. O. Curry, of
Frederick, Md., who has just reached this city, after making a narrow escape.
He made an unsuccessful attempt first via
Hagerstown, but was cut off from retreat by the vigilance of the spies.
He then succeeded, it matters not how, as others may come off in the same way. He brought his family with him. He represents the system of espionage established by the tyrants over the citizens of
Maryland as vigilant, and the persons employed in it to be utterly heartless.
The people are plunged into the deepest effiction and humiliation, and sigh and years for the coming of the day of deliverance, what they believe, and we hope truly, is to come before long.
Ex-Governor Lowe's
real estate had been said by his instructions at very great sacrifice.
There was no longer any resting place for him in
Maryland, and he took refuge in
Virginia.
By his unwavering, unfaltering devotion to constitutional liberty and State rights, he is forced to abandon his native land, the comforts and delights of his home in
Frederick, and to submit to a sacrifice of a large portion of his property.
His experience is the experience of thousands.
A just
Providence will yet restore them to their rights and liberties in their noble State, liberated and disenthralled of the detested tyrants not domineering over her.
