Mildly pro-Confederate broadside issued by Hicks as governor of Maryland during the secession crisis, before the border states had seceded. Concerns the impending crisis and what side Maryland should take in it, but firmly associates Maryland's interests with those of the "Cotton States," and its slave owning neighbors.
