War and Slavery
Summary
Editorial stating the secession and upcoming Civil War will most likely lead to the annihilation of the institution of slavery. Arguments posed for Fremont's proclamation that all slaves confiscated by the Union army are henceforth free is against the Constitution, undermines the value of property for Marylanders, and does not answer the question of what should be done with confiscated slaves. The rebellion must therefore be crushed before more damage is done to Maryland's citizens.
