Charles Carroll . . .

. . . a grandson of the signer of the Declaration of Independence, and with one exception the largest slave holder in Maryland, is enthusiastic in his support of the proposition of the President, for the emancipation in his State. Charles M. Tarish, also a grandson of the signer, holds the same views.
