THE FREE NEGROES OF MEFfLAND--The fact
brought to notice by the recent Shareholders Con-
venon, that the free blacks constitute more than
one-eighth Of the entire population in Maryland:
excites no little surprise. Few at the North were
prepared to hear that they were so numef6tS:
though an examination Of that much-ne eglected
volume, the census returns of 1850, would have
revealed the state of the case The Albany Epen-
ing Journal, sharing the general misapprehension,
speaks of the free negroes of Maryland as "few
hundred" Mr.. Pearce, on the other hand, states
their present number at $4,000. In the State Of
New York, by the census of 1850, we had 4S, ,069,
colored people. If they were as Proportionally
numerous here as in Maryland we should have co.
day 400 000 or ton times the actual number. 4
Baltimore journal says that more than half The
free blacks of the State reside in that City. whsiS
the returns of the Savings Banks, as we'll as the
condition Of the churches and societies supported
by them, eviuce their perfect ability 10 take care
of themselves when they have an opportunity for
employment and improve it. Slavery ii Mafyis
exists mainly in the country on the large farms.
The towns. including the large commercial city
of Baltimore, are favorable 10 irssdom.-E. "
