ed those servile camp followers of the Northern despot, and placed between them and the true men of the State a gulf, which must ever remain impassible. It is distinctly understood now that one or the other of those hostile classes must occupy and possess the State, to the exclusion of the other, whenever the final issue shall have been made by an appeal to arms. As I cannot doubt what the result of that conflict will be, I feel no hesitation in predicting that Maryland, like Kentucky and Missouri, will come into the great conservative republic of the South, purified of the social and political contaminations which were brought upon a noble race of men by the money seeking emigrants from the land of agrarian fanaticism and sordid passion. Maryland will become again the home of the cavaliers, as she was before the mirror of her chivalry was dimmed by the breath of the mammon-worshipers. Even now the shores of Virginia are crowded with exiled men, who represent the ancient histor

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. But why should I address such arguments to the venerable State which has conducted the sons of freedom in two revolutionary struggles for independence? I will appeal rather to her magnanimous love of all that is great and good, and to her generous sympathy for those who are "persecuted for justice sake." I ca

finitely presented. At this moment with outstretched arms, they stand upon their desecrated hearthstones, crying out to their Southern brethren to give them an opportunity to pronounce this decision on the field of battle. They do not ask for men to fight the battle of freedom on their own soil. They ask only for arms and ammunition, and that the tyrant's hand may be taken from their throat until they can rally their people from mountain and valley. Then, with the courage of the old "Maryland line," and the benediction of a just God, they will be able to carve out and defend their liberties with their own swords. They are willing to accept annihilation as the penalty of failure. God knows they love the sunny South as dearly as any son of the Palmetto State. They idolize the chivalric honor, the stern and refined idea of free government, the social dignity and conservatism which characterize the Southern mind and heart, as enthusiastically as those of their Southern brethren

lds of victory.--No! They well understand that Maryland is at heart a "rebel," as she was in 76; and they remember the history of her deeds and the fate of her tories. It would be an act of supererogation in me to undertake a detailed explanation of the causes which led to this, temporary subjugation of Maryland. It is due to her, however, that I should briefly allude to certain prominent facts. I am perfectly convinced that she would have left the old Union immediately, had North Carolina and Virginia gone out when the cotton States seceded. Her Executive had not the manhood to oppose a revolution which he feared and hated, until he was surrounded by Northern bayonets. Cowering under the storm of popular indignation, he went into Monument square on the afternoon of the memorable 19th of April last, whilst the blood of the heroic youths of Baltimore, who had scornfully driven out of their city twelve hundred armed abolitionists from Massachusetts, was still fresh upon th

Cowering under the storm of popular indignation, he went into Monument square on the afternoon of the memorable 19th of April last, whilst the blood of the heroic youths of Baltimore, who had scornfully driven out of their city twelve hundred armed abolitionists from Massachusetts, was still fresh upon the pavements, and there called God to witness his loyalty to the South, and prayed that his arm might rot from the socket if he ever raised it against his Southern brethren. Such a man, as we well knew, would not have dared to lift his finger against secession in the month of February last. It was, however, geographically and politically impossible for Maryland to join the cotton States whilst other great States, lying between her and the new Confederacy, rem
