| | William Seabrook's Marland's Great Part in Saving the Union |
 | | Augustus W. Bradford, of Baltimore county, was the Union candidate for governor, and Samuel S. Maffit, of Cecil county, the candidate for comptroller of the treasury. |
 | | The only counties which gave majorities for Howard were Calvert, Charles, St. Mary's and Talbott, but in most of the other counties of the slaveholding section the vote was close. |
 | | The number of votes polled in the counties was about equal to the number usually cast at State elections, hut for some reason which I cannot undertake to explain, the secessionists in Baltimore, in many cases, failed to vote and, while Bradford received 17,922, only 3,347 voted for Howard. |
