Governor Randolph, in his address to the
Virginia Legislature in 1920, said:
"We have been far outstripped by States to
whom Nature has been far less bountiful 1t
is painful to consider what might have been,
under other circumstances, the amount Of gen
ersl wealth in Virginia"
Mr.. Curtis, in speech in the Virginia lie.
gislature in 1882, said:
"There is a malaria in the atmosphere of
these regions, which the new conner shuns, as
being deleterious to his views and habits. See
the wide-spreading ruin which the avarice of
our ancestral Government has produced in the
South, as witnessed in a sparse population of
freemen, deserted habitations, and fields with
out culture Strange to tell, even the wolf,
driven back long since by the approach of man,
now returns, after the lapse of a hundred years,
| to howl over the desolstions of Slavery"
Dir. Moore, in speaking of the evils of SIa.
very, said:
"The first shall mention is the irresistible
tendency which it has to undermine and destroy
| everything like virtue and morality in the COM
munity.
In that part of the State below tide-water,
the whole face of the country wears an appear
ance of almost utter desolation, distressing to
the beholder. The very spot on which our an
cestors landed, little more than two hundred
years ago, appears to be on the eve of again
becoming the haunt Of wild beasts"
Mr.. Richie, once the editor of the Union, in
speaking of Slavery in 1892, said:
at is probable, from what we hear. that the
committee on the colored population will re-
mort some plan for getting rid of the free peo
pie of color. Bot is this all that can be done ?

MARYLAND NOT THE BIRTH PLACE OF
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

Mr.. EDITOR observing notice in the
secular papers of the day of a recently pub
lished work by GEORGE L. L. DAVIS, Balti-
more, purporting to be history of Mary
land, it's title ''The Day-Star of American
Freedom; or the Birth and Early Growth
of ToZeration'-it occurred to me, if it was
not the manifest duty of some Maryland
Baptist, who controls an influential pen, to
destroy OF refute the false conclusion and
wrong differences of this whole subject
You must conclude with me that circum-
stances seem pre-eminently to make it the
duty of some Baptist of this State, who may
be familiar, or can make himself familiar
with the early history of this Colony, and
/ it's colonists to present to the world an I'M
| Impartial, faithful history of the surround
ing circumstances that led to the unheard
of provision by Roman proscriptionists. On
their civil government when they had the
power of framing the laws, to provide for the
shadoU of toleration-for contend that the
act of the colonists of this State was only a
shadow. There was no real Iberty-for
what is liberation but another form Of usur-
patton? You are aware that it is the deslr-
ed aim of the Romanists of this country, to.
make the impression upon the public mind
that they are the friends of liberty OF con-
! science, or at least of liberation, and they
refer to the act of the Papal colonists OF
this State as an evidence of their hberallty.
And have they not been successful? Facts
seem to say they have-for almost all our
public speakers upon referring to the act OF
the colonists of this State, recognize that
here the star of liberation did arise to en-
tighten this benighted world on the religious
rights of man. The object of this notice is
to secure some competent brother to UNDER
take the work, and to give to the world
correct history of Maryland, or at least its
religious history, for this question offreedom
of conscience in matters Of faith, is now
shaking, and will more extensively shake
the foundations of the civil and ecclesiastical
governments of the wide world. And is it
not fact worth contending for, when it is
known that it was left to a Baptist of a
neighboring state-Rhode 1sland-to first
and exclusively publish that great cardinal
doctrine-ssF Freedom of conscience in mat
ters of religion, on this continent? From
whom should the work SO naturallr be exv

THE frequent rains thatwe have had late
ly has caused very considerable delay in
planting Corn in this county, and the cool,
damp spell Of weather whichis now prevail
ing is very unfavorable to the growth Of
that which has already been planted. Farm
ing operations generally in this section have
been retarded by the lateness of the spring,
and many of our farmers are apprehensive
that owing to this cause their crops Of Corn
and Tobacco will seriously interfere with
each other. We hope, however, that this
will not be the case, and it probably would
not to great extent, if we could have from
this time more seasonable weather.

Projection OF AMERICAN CITIZENS AT
PANAMA AND AspINwALL.-We are inform
ed that Mr. Dobbin has satisfactory reason
to believe that the sloop-of-war St. Marys
is now at Panama Orders have been is
sued, we learn, to the officer in command
of that vessel to remain in that port SO long
as he may deem it necessary for the protec-
ton of American citizens A vessel of the
home squadron will touch at Aspinwall also.
The hope is INDUCED that the presence Of a
man-of-war at Panama will check any at
tempt at further outrages on our country,
men in that region, and relieve passengers
from apprehension Of trouble. Washington

SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT DEMO
CRATIC CONFERENCE.-THE Democratic dele
gates from the counties composing the sixth
Congressional district of Maryland, met on
Wednesday, 3Oth ult.. Full delegations ap-
peared from the following counties: St.
Mary's, Charles, Calvert, Montgomery,
Prince Georges, Howard and Anne Arun-
DEL The Convention was called to order,
and Fl. G.. S. Key, Esq, of St. Mary's,
was chosen President, and Col. Edelin,, of
Charles county, Secretary. After some
preliminaries it was determined to choose
delegates by ballot, and several nominations
were made.
Upon third ballot it was declared that
J. A. B, Leonard, of Montgomery county,
and Edward Hammond, of Howard county,
were the unanimous choice of the Conven-
ton. From remarks made by Mr.. Leon
ard, the inference is that the Hon. James
Buchanan is the first choice Of the delegates
for President, though it was declared that
they would use their efforts to the greatest
advantage for the Democratic party Reso-
lutions endorsing the administration of Pres
ident Pierce and his general course as be-
ing such. as to challenge the respect of all
true Americans, &C., were presented and
passed. Also, resolutions favoring the
Kansas-Nebraska bill, and reprobatine
acknowledgement, were offered and unani-
mously adopted. The Convention then adj

ToBAcco- The market continues extremely
animated for both Maryland and Ohio Tobacco.
and prices rule high. The receipts have increas-
ed this week, but the very active demand keeps
any stock from accommodating IN the hands of the
agents. Good and fine qualities sell readily at
improved rates, while common descriptions fully
maintain former prices. The crop now coming to
market is of more desirable quality than the last.
We quote as before inferior short seconds at

Sc so as7; and brown leafy 81 50a So. Ohio To-
bacco also sells as fast as received, the demand
for it continuing very brisk. The sales this week
comprise about $50 hhds., principally reds, at Sc
ass so. There is very small proportion of fine
spangled in the crop, and this description sells
high, two hogsheads this week bringing S14 and

PORT TOBACCO, MD.
We give place in our columns this week

We give place in our columns this week
to two communications with reference tc
historical questions. In doing this we, Of
course, have nothing to do with the senti-
ments of their authors, and so it is when
we admit into our paper articles upon liter
airy or political subjects. Those who may
think proper to reply to the communications
referred to, Or to any others that may here
after appear in this journal, have the liberty
to do SO. This has always been a privilege
that we have extended to political parties,
or to persons differing in sentiment upon
any subject suitable to the secular press
We do not desire that our paper should be
used as a medium of religious controversy,
and we have endeavored to avoid lending
our columns for that purpose, and hope we
shall never be importuned to do so.
The above brief statement we make, SO
that those who seem to have forgotten that
the course which we marked out in the COM
mencement Of the publication of the Times
and which has generally heretofore been
approved by our patrons, for aught we know
to the contrary,-is the course we still pur-
sue, and believe to be the best for the con.
venience of the public.
Our CIRCUIT CouRT.-The Spring tern
of this Court commenced last Monday. The

case, for any grave offence against the law
will be for trial at this term.
