Excerpt from Address of the Unconditional Union State Central Committee to the People of Maryland
In vain did a member from Cecil urge, first, adjournment without nomination failing in this, then postponement for further reflection and consultation.
The disorganizers were in the ascendant; motions for delay were thrust aside, the resolutions of the Committee were adopted as embracing all that was necessary for State and National interests and a ticket put for ward with the full knowledge that by that act they divided the Union ranks without hope of remedy.

Excerpt from Address of the Unconditional Union State Central Committee to the People of Maryland
It was called into lacing by an emergency, for that emergency, and none of those who were its godfathers imagined that it was to propagate and have perpetual succession, or that a Union party, as such, in the swift vicissitudes of the times, was to be other than temporary.
After the Gubernatorial election of 1861 it did no official act, and had no recognised official existence for a year and a half.
In the spring of the present year, the Union men throughout the State desired conference and organization, that they might be able more effectually to sustain the National Administration in its great struggles, and the press, in various quarters of the State, suggested that some organization should take the initiative, as the Union men of Baltimore had done in 1861, and cull a State Convention.
The first formal expression of this desire was made by a mass meeting of the Union men of Allegany, held in Cumberland on the 80th of April. The resolutions of that meeting found a ready response from various quarter?, and on the 27th of May the Grand League of the State of Maryland, as "the only State organisation of the Union party in existence," issued a call for a State Convention, to assemble in the city of Baltimore, on the 16th of June.
This call was addressed to "all persons who support the whole policy of the Government in suppressing the rebellion," and the delegates elected under it were selected and voted for without reference to any known or supposed affiliation or membership with the Union Leagues.
Meanwhile, however, by secret circular, a meeting bad been called at Barnum's Hotel on the 14th of May It was attended by certain "conservative" gentlemen from about half the counties of the State, the most of whom had a contingent desire for the support of the Government. In their deliberations they discovered the fossil State Central Committee of 1861, and selected it as their instrument for effecting their purposes, and the President of the meeting " indulged the hope that the Chairman of the Committee would have no hesitation in calling the Committee together." The Chairman "did not feel justified in calling together the State Central Committee by his own summons, as their Chairman," but he convened the Baltimore city members of that Committee, and those members agreed upon a call of the whole Committee. That Committee (more or less) met on the 28th of May, (the day after the Grand League had called a State Convention,) and adopted a resolution, which was published on the, 29th, calling a State Convention to meet in the city of Baltimore on the 23d of June.
Both calls were now before the people; the result was as might have been supposed - the people were confused. Some counties elected to the Convention of the 16th, some to that of the 23d; some sent delegates to both.
