210 - L. Oct. 13; ed: 2/1 - August Belmont protests, in the name of Democ-
racy, against the suppression of a paper called the EVENING POST, and
against the test oath demanded by Governor Johnson of Tennessee before
a man shall vote. . .
"For Belmont to appeal to the Democratic party and counsel revolution
if electoral votes of Maryland and Tennessee should defeat McClellan,
shows the drift of the Democratic party." j (4)

289 - L. Oct. 13; ed:2/2 - If the constitution, framed at Annapolis, is
adopted, it places Maryland alongside of the free states of the North.
It prohibits slavery, and compensates masters whose slaves are made free
by the Constitution; it prohibits lotteries and provides that no person
who has assisted the Rebellion shall hold office, or vote, unless par-
doned by a two-thirds vote of the members of the assembly. "It is a
vigorously and wisely framed constitution, and will bring Maryland into
the fold of Free States." (3)

616 - L June 2; ed: 3/2 - General McClellan had 153,000 men when he went
to the peninsula in March 1862. When the President visited him Julv 20,
1862, he had 80,000, showing a loss of 78,500 killed, wounded, deserters,
prisoners, and discharged. This loss of men meant "defeat and disaster, a
campaign lost, the invasion of Maryland, great public gloom and discontent,
followed by Copperhead triumphs at the elections, and a general disloyal
clamor for a disunion peace." Ever since that time McClellan has stood high
in the esteem of disloyalists. This ruin "together with his pro-slavery
principles, is the secret of his immense popularity with that organization
(Copperhead)." - (6)

633 - L Aug. 26; ed:2/1 - The Chicago P0ST, predicting a very bright future
for McClellan, Fillmore, or Seymour, in case one of them wins in the Chicago
convention, implores the Democracy to nominate a "bold, fearless, and
honest man." The POST also declares that Lincoln's only hope of renomina-
tion lies in "timely and judicious declaration of martial law on election
day in New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Kentucky and Indiana."
LEADER:
"We heartily disagree with the POST and predict that the Union Party
will triumph. Those who count on distraction in its ranks will be sorely
disappointed." (13)

641 - L Sept. 6; ed:2/2 - The PLAIN DEALER is making a sorry effort to
bolster up McClellan, but discovers that all the thunder it expected to
make out of arbitrary arrests, habeas corpus, the draft, etc., has all
been drawn by McClellan. It must therefore spend some time in clearing
up the "Little Corporal 's" record.
"The PLAIN DEALER has already justified the arrest of the Maryland
Legislature which is a good symptom. Believe in Arbitrary arrests to-
day, and tomorrow you can go Little Mac on Emancipation and Confiscation
which he favored!" (4)

665 - L. Sept. 20; ed: 2/2 - "The Democracy defiantly shakes McClellan's
letter of acceptance, as an Indian does his war club, when the Peace-
at-any-price Platform is referred to. He has sworn to maintain the
Union, a sentiment which is very becoming for the 'Little Mackerals'
but the value of which is destroyed by the class of men who surround
him, and who would govern him in case he is elected."
"Pendleton and McClellan are not pulling together as can be seen
from Pendleton's statement concerning McClellan's order for the arrest
of the legislature of Maryland, which he terms 'the greatest invasion
of State Sovereignty that has taken place.' They also do not agree
upon the subject of drafting, etc.
"Nothing but a base surrender of the South could result in McCellan's
being surrounded by such advisers as Pendleton, Woods, and Seymour." (19)

686 - L Oct. 20; ed: 2/3 - There is nothing on which the Democrats like
to harp so much as on the inconsistencies of Lincoln. They assert that
he has changed the purpose of the war and that his inconsistencies have
been so many that Democrats who supported him in the beginning of the
war can no longer do so.
"The real reasons why they oppose Lincoln, is because he enforces a
draft, and they bitterly denounce this methcq of raising troops. They
also lament about habeas corpus and arbitrary arrests, but forget that
McClellan arrested the Maryland Legislature by force. Thus he proved
that such arrests are sometimes justified and necessary."
In all these things McClellan is inconsistent, while Lincoln maintains
his policy throughout. (12)

695 - L Nov. 1; ed: 2/2 - The words spoken by President Lincoln to
citizens of Maryland show that reverence for law and the will of the
people constitute the only security against Rebellion.
"If the majority of the people of this country insist upon transfer
of the Government into hands of men who will barter away its integrity
and its freedom, there is nothing to restrain them from this fatal
crime." (4)

1677 - L Jan. 28; ed: 2/2, 3 - In his speech to the members of the Leg-
islature at Anrapolis, the Hon. Mortgomery Blair touched on the cause
of the Rebellion and supported the President's plan of pacification.
He said that the Democratic party of the North was seduced into coun- .
tenancing the measures of oligarchs preparatory to the war against the
Union. -
"When masters of millions of slaves have boldly proclaimed slavery
as the last basis of government, and founded it on a military despotism
they have set up, what friend of the Union can hesitate to strike
down that system?" (35)

2504 - L. July 15; ed: 2/1 - People in Maryland and Pennsylvania are panicky
over recent Rebel raids. Fifteen thousand Rebels landed in the vicinity
of Washington and remained over night, but forces in Maryland and Washing-
ton should catch every one of them.
It is hoped that such a ridiculous panic will cease. Raids in the west
don't set the people shivering with mortal terror, and the fright of the
east is supremely disgusting. - (4)

camp near City Point, Va., tells of the activities in camp and describes
the attack on General Wilson and General Kautz's men by Rebel forces near
Petersburg. "It is a mystery how they escaped, as their horses were
fatigued from heat, dust, and want of water. We were sent out to check the
rebel pursuit, and after three days on the battlefield, reached our present
camp, and are making preparations to move on to Maryland." (14)
