Mosebyites
Summary
The article discusses the effort of the "Mosebyites" to initiate a repeal of the Registry Law and to hold a convention in Frederick to elect delegates to their Baltimore convention. The convention was poorly attended - not more than 80 people including Union men who went out of curiosity. Colonel Jacob M. Kunkel was elected chairman of the convention and the vice-presidents were Major General Anthony Kimmel and John Bartholow. The chairman suggested that if the Registry Law was not soon repealed that another war would begin. The convention decided to send a "mass delegation" from Frederick to the convention in Baltimore. This would consist of about 45 men.
