he theory which we take for granted,that the Rebellion will be crushed and the Union maintained. You cannot conquer the treasonous slaveholders without conquering the cause in behalf of which they are embattled. When once the work begins there will be no going backward. Emancipate, upon principle, one thousand slaves, and you have virtually emancipated one hundred thousand. It is the first step that is costly and fearful. However small the wedge, when once it has entered it will inevitably overthrow this imposing monument of human folly, crime, outrage and suffering. Make Maryland a free state, as sooner or later it must be, or make Missouri a free State, as it speedily will be, and the criminal compact, the conspiracy against civilization, which has broken our peace, will be dissolved for ever, and even the next generation will wonder why we so long suffered ourselves to grope and stumble when the broad and bright road of righteousness invited us to walk in it. June 23, 1862.
Maryland (Maryland, United States) (search for this): chapter 65
Loyalty and light. the attentive reader will already have noticed that the Union party in Maryland is also an Emancipation party, and regards with a certain complacency the project of the President for the abolition of Slavery. Day by day we see more and more clearly that the life of a blundering and bad institution has been set upon this desperate cast, and that the hazard of the die is against it. With a fatuity which seems to us to be perfectly wonderful, and much as if the gods, determtually emancipated one hundred thousand. It is the first step that is costly and fearful. However small the wedge, when once it has entered it will inevitably overthrow this imposing monument of human folly, crime, outrage and suffering.

ding it by degrading associations, and making it, in the mind of the whole country, responsible for the perils which environ us. It has been the architect of its own ruin. It has been very cunning in its own overthrow. Owing every moment of its existence to the coercions of positive law, and existing in spite of its numerous violations of natural right, it has been the first to demolish the bulwarks which surrounded it, and to cast contempt upon the statute-book which was its only charter. Wise men said that it was perilous to the liberties of the land, and foolish men have been kind enough to demonstrate the truth of the proposition. It has simply succeeded in achieving a bad character at home and abroad. The Maryland Unionists, while indulging in their little harmless fling at the Abolitionists, explicitly admit that Slavery is now injurious to the political and material interests' of the South. We do not see how any Union Slaveholder can think otherwise; because, logically,

ip, that they make and keep friends. No wonder that in many of the Slave States men who see their fortunes and happiness all risked, infinitely against their inclinations, in this insane adventure, are quite willing to surrender their own slaveholding to save themselves from the slaveholding of their neighbors. Owners of negroes, we suppose, like other human beings, may be naturally divided into fools and wise men. We remember only one really able defender of Slavery in the abstract. Mr. Calhoun brought a gigantic intellect to the service of error, and did for a patent political mistake all that great intellectual powers and an iron will could do for it. But when he died he left no successor. Puny public men babbled weak parodies of his reasoning, or more safely ensconced themselves behind his ipse dixit. We regard with what we believe to be a just contempt the lame and lamentable perversions of Scripture with which Pro-Slavery Doctors of Divinity have benumbed the minds and hea
