LIBERATION OF DEBTORS IN MARYLAND.
At Baltimore, on the morning of Friday week,
the persons confined in jail for non-payment Of
debts were brought on q writ Of habeas corpus be-
fore Judge FRIcK and Judge LEGRAND to decide
whether, under the new Constitution of Maryland,
which provides that 'noperson shall be imprison-
ed for debt" and which went into effect on that day,
they ought not be discharged from imprisonment.
The question was submitted without argumsnt, and
the Court decided that the debtors must be dis
charged, and the Warden Of the Jail was directed
to discharge the parties accordingly.

There was one feature in the pageant of the
late celebration of the Anniversary which was Pc
culiar to this city, and which possessed for US, as
we doubt not it did for all other spectators, peculiar
interest, and on which we beg to bestow brief
special notice. 1t was the body of illustrous vee
rams who have, on the land and on the water,
through many a hard-fought day, sustained the
honor Of their country and its untarnished flag.
We could not but regard with profound feelings Of
admiration and gratitude these war-worn veterans,
as they silently marched along the avenue, headed
by the tall and noble form Of that heroic Chief
who had SO often led them to victory, accompany
ing now the First Magistrate Of the Nation on the
peaceful and suspicious errand Of laying the foun-
daton Of new Halls of Legislation--Halls for the
Representatives Of the States and Of the People,
who are henceforth to together in this city of
WASHINGTON from the shores Of the Atlantic, the
far off Pacific, and all their intermediate regions, to
deliberate on the common veal, and to enact laws
for the common government Of this vast and united
Republic.
