Position of Maryland
Gov. Hicks, of Maryland, has declined to call an extra session of the Legislature.
In replying to the request by a number of citizens that be should do so, he says that he trusts to the " second sober thought of the conservative masses at the North," for the repeal of the nullification laws.
He thinks a meeting of the Maryland Legislature would only serve to increase the excitement in that State, instead of allay it. In conclusion he says:
You speak, gentlemen,
Believing that all should act, or decline to act, as circumstances may render proper, I must, as at present advised by my own judgment, founded upon much information of the wishes of the people, and great deliberation, respectfully decline to gratify the request so politely made; but shall hold myself ready to act promptly when I shall believe the honor and safety of Maryland require me to act in the promises.
With great respect, I am your ob'dt. serv't, Thos. H. Hicks. Nov. 27, 1860
