BLACK LAWS OF MARYLAND.


We are panied to the heart, to see the hand
of cruelty at work in relation to the free black
and muatto residents of the State. There is
now under way a movement to increase the pen
allies of constabes in relation to the suppression
of meetings Of the colored people. In the
name ofmercy, do our legislators wish to degrade
the office of constable still lower Better use
blood hounds at once!
A law of 1881 provided that any free color
ed person should only leave the State to return
again on condition of such person filing a GER
tifcate of his intentions, the nature of his bust
ness, &c. 1t seems that the law has been SO
altered that a colored person is forbidden to re-
turn to the State after an absence of thirty days
statute book-a cruel exercise of petty tyranny
And we warn Governor Pratt to think of the in
terests Of his own party Qeavng higher consid-
erations out of view before he sanctions this and
other bills in consideration. Tamper not with
the growing sentiment of our own citizens upon
this subject, unless, you are willing to drive hun.
dreds of antislavery Wings from your ranks
aye, hundreds of anti-slavery men from Maryland
Rest assured that these will hold Wing legisa-
ture and Wing Governor, answerable for these
returns to barbarsm, for the purpose of proppng
the rotten fabric of Slavery!
We write not as politician, but as man
pleading for cur fellow men. And would to God
there were now in our legislature some one with
enough of moral courage to speak for the down
trodden-to rebuke this spirit of heartless cru
elty-to tell the projectors of such laws, tina
they cannot consistently complain Of "northerr
interference" while a class of our fellow men arr
placed in as bad a light to the Yankee, as tina
in which we Of the South have been wont t.
view the heather of other lands Would there
we're some member who had the courage to tel
them that they are Destroying in their madness
that which they are aiming to preserve; tina
they are playing into the hands Of their enemies
giving them fresh pretexts for the kind of actor
of which they so bitterly complain God grant gu
Legislators more wisdom and humanity, and
power to discriminate between needful laws anC
despotic cruelty We go for the protection o
slave property while it is recognized, but we will
not consent to have it protected by laws of sucl
needless severity.

address you from the bosom of my family. Al
though have not seen thy face, feel that thou
art not stranger; and that inasmuch as you
had a heart to feel for us a distressed and dest-
tute family, and to sympathze with us in our
affection, and to relieve us in our dstresses, you
will now rejoice in our joy. | was delivered
from prison by the blessing of him who has
heard the cries of the widow and the fatherless,

States-some in Missouri towards whom l feel
my heart moved with kindness and gratitude
The blessings of those that were ready to perish

25th Of the present month, to the great Joy of
myself and my dear family and friends after an
absence of more than three years and half

right arm broken about year since, by being
caught in the machinery; by which he is yet
deprived of the use of it, and will, in all proba
bility be deprived of the use of it for life. As
regards the prospects for their deliyerance,
cannot speak very encouragingly, but hope for
the best. Perhaps something depends upon the
course | shall take, or what grows out Of my de-
lverance But this we will leave with him who
orders all things according to the counsel of his
own wilI-praying that he will plead the cause
and accomplish his own purposes, and in his
own good time open their prison DOORS My

The anti-slavery Society of Michigan held its
anniversary at jackson on the 10Th ult., and was
addressed by Mr. Birney in manner which cal
led forth the warmest applause of thronged
auditory. We take the following from a report
of his speech which appears in the Signal of Lib
erty. Look at this, fellow-citizens. Is it not
the plan of wise and practical man!
Mr.. B. considered the principles of the Lib
erty party to be the only hope of the country,
and to these we must adhere, whether Texas be
annexed or not As to the competency of the
Liberty party to accomplish their object-the
abolition of slavery in the United States-he be-
believed it could be done by method at once
simple, constitutional and speedy-a method to
which no valid objection could be raised $780,
600 Shareholders now govern the entire South.
They monopolize almost every office in the slave
States. Mr.. Birney said that in his intercourse
with Southern men he did not remember Of a sun
gle office holder under the general government DhO
,OdS not slaUe holder Not even solitary
postmaster could he call to mind who was non
Shareholder There might have been such, but
he did not remember of ever knowing single
exception to the rule. SO of the State leglsla-
lures As far as his acquaintance extended, the
members were uniformly Shareholders.
Thus, as general rule, every office of any
moment in the slave States, is held by slayehol-
ders From this class the general government
appoints all its officers; and the shareholders
being small portion of the people, intelligent
wealthy and allied to each other by marriage and

gratified on the choice of directors in the
northern road, have turned round and de-
nounced proxy laws, Boston capitalists,
Boston influence and Boston directors. -
We suppose the dissatisfaction of the
gentlemen referred to, arose mostly from
desire to govern the officers of the cor
poratlon, and to manage its affairs in such
manner asto them seemed fit and proper

the conquered should have retired from

We are looking out every moment tor
some decisive intelligence from the Con-
ven,ion of Texas. Should they rallry our
propositions, the territory may be consld-
cred as reunited to our republic, and in

is the value of the acquisition we have
made? All accounts concur in represent

tive, and the acquisition as extremel y val

NORTHERN RAILROAD.

At a meeting Of the stockholders Of the
northern railroad, held at this town, on
Friday last, the following persons were
chosen directors:--
George w. Nesmith, Franklin,
Nathan Carrulh, Boston,
Solomon Wildes, Boston,
Isaac Spaulding, Nashua,
Timothy Kenrlck, Lebanon,
Charles II. Russell, Boston,
Francis N. Fisk, Concord.
There was much feeling exhibited dur
ing the meeting by a number of wings,
who are entitled to the name Of "super
radicals" They go beyond anything that
has been advanced on the subject Of rail-
roads, directors, sc. The very men who
have for years past denounced the demo-

about driving capital out of the State
