To the General Assembly of Maryland…

Summary

Editorial urging affected citizens to sign a "memorial" [petition] to state legislature to allow presently disfranchised voters to once again vote in Maryland. It argues the principal of "no taxation without representation" and that the disfranchised who had once been disloyal to the Union no longer present a threat and should be reinstated as voters. Those who are disfranchised should canvas their areas, try to get signatures, and turn in petitions.
