[1] Baltimore American, September 21, 1861. According to the American, Lincoln's statement was made ``in reply to an inquiry as to the cause of the arrest of Mayor Brown.'' Secessionist members of the Maryland legislature and certain other public officials, including Mayor George W. Brown of Baltimore, were arrested September 13-16. Many were released on oath or parole from time to time, the last being released November 27, 1862. (See OR, II, I, 563-748.)
