Unconditional Union Address
Summary
Editorial urging people to read the address of the Unconditional Union State Central Committee to the people of Maryland. This address spells out the position of the party on the issue of slavery/emancipation in a clear way and replies to the address of the "Conservative" State Committee. "Speedy emancipation is the true and only safe policy for Maryland." Slavery is no longer an "industrial" power, but it is still a huge "political" power. The last General Assembly of Maryland failed to "comply with the requirements of the Constitution." The delegates to the next Assembly must be men who are open and honest about their positions. "An open enemy is less to be feared than a weak, vacillating or faithless Representative of the people." "The issue is the Union or slavery." Everyone should read the address and "act for himself."
