A Truthful Exposition

Summary

A long editorial about the disloyal "Tory" newspapers in Maryland and their open hostility to the Union cause, "a crying evil which should be suppressed by the Government." There are passing references to the "drunken Tory John Letcher of Virginia and his crazy associates," and to Judge Douglas and Gen. Jackson.
