ARNApoLIs, January -, 1851.
My Dear Sri avail myself Of the first leisure
moment to assure you that am not insensble
to the obligation under which you have placed
me by your patriotic, kind and friendly letter Of
the 9th instant, handed me on Thursday hy
Nltssrs. Palmer, Ball and McAIlchael-the gem
tlemen charged by you with its custody and de-
livery.
With these gentlemen had frank, free and
full conversation. told them that while could
only meet them informally, and had DO power to
pledge Maryland TO adopt any particular mea-
slres of cooperation or Cancellation, | would
hear with pleasure any suggestions they could
make with view to a satisfactory adjustment of
our national difficulties. / also, during the 10.
terview, inquired Of them US to the rumored
intention Of military display in Washington on
or about the fourth Of March, and was gratifed
to learn that the people of Pennsylvania enter
tanned no such design. i told them, and take
pleasure in repeating it to you now, that the
people Of Maryland are Union loving and law
abiding; and, with come few exceptions, decided
in feeling and action for the preservation Of the
Union, and will not desert it, until the necessity
shall be more apparent than at present. Strongly
opposed, as they were, 10 the election of Mr.
Lincoln, the people of Maryland Intend to make
no opposition to, but, if necessary will aid in
securing the peaceabe inauguration of the Pre-
eluuut eieotou hVoVFulnb 10 the forms o. the Com
stitution.
l thank you most sincerely for the kind manner
IN which you tender the corporation OF the people
OF Pennsylvania =" in whatever Just measures of
Cancellation may be proposed"
Trusting in God, and couiiling in the eood
sense of the American people, | atill look to Con.
gress for a satisfactory adjustment of our difficult
ties-aud | earnestly hope that you, and those
acting with you, may be successful in your
patriotic endeavOrs to secure measures of CON
ciliation.
am aware that much of the i'll feeling between
the sections is attributable to the Personal Libor
ty laws Of some of the Northern States, and
though these have been decided by the oourta
to be unconstitutional, yet they are offensive 10
us, and should be, as l do not doubt they will
be, repealed
believe the great body of the people North
and South are still sound in their attachment to
the Union aud that the utraists alone, North
aud South, by their unholy ambition, political
and pecuniary, have brought our great country
to lis present depornbe condition.
Though my sympathies are with the South. |
feel no undue prejudice against our Northern
brethren, believing, as l do, there il little DIFF
ference between the extremist of either section
as TO the effect produced upon the country. |
look, therefore, to the prudent G4,ieu OF the
patriotic men now in council and 20 the people
themselves, to save the country and restore those
fraterDal relations that made us the admiration
Of The world, Though tho dreadful CRISIS now
upon us threSteus the destruction Of the Onion,

FRldHrfuL OPPRESSION IN MissIss1ppI-Tbe
secessionists of South Carolina and Mississppi
are particularly anxious to keep the world from
knowing some things that are going on in those
States. Yesterday, u gentleman formerly a
member of the Kentucky Legislature, stated that
he was just starting for Mississippi to endeavor
to relieve his brother in that State The brother
had written him that tax was imposed upon
every slave-ownor in that State of twelve dollars
for each negro; that, unles the tax should be
paid within very few days, the negro property
was to be conGscated to the public use that bis
own negro tax amounted to $4,000, which he
had no means whatever of paying; and that
hundreds Of slave prOpriotors were hurrying their
slaves out of the State to escape the intolerabo
oppression.
lie moreover wrote that this was known to be
only the beginning of terrible system of taxa
ton, and added the expression Of his perfect
conviction that the people would not stand it,
that within thirty days they would raise up in
wrath and their strength, aud crush oppression
and oppressors alike beneath their feel. Louis.

Thomas f. Bayara, Esq, OF Delaware.

The President rendered to this gentleman, the gifted
son OF Senator Baysrd the important post OF assistant
Secretary Of State latoy vacated by Mr.. PRESCOTT Of
South Carolina which he declined with thanks fhil1
Pfsss.
Notwithstanding we differ in toto in political
sentiment from Senator Bayard, we cannot but
regard the tender of this important office to his
son as deserved compliment to the distinguished
Senator. Whether for good or for evil, no one
can doubt the value of the services rendered to
the President by Senator Bayard during Mr..
Buchanan's administration. The compliment,
therefore, is welltimed and well-merited and
may have been designed, on the part of the Pre-
sideut, for aught We know to the contrary, to
carry with it the additional recognition of the
loyalty Of Delaware to the Union and the Consti-
tuition.
