MARYLAND.

1t is evident that movement for the ex-
tinction Of slavery is at last on foot in Mary
land. The recent demonstration of Cover
nor Thomas in Baltimore leaves no doubt
that the work has been commenced and will
be vigorously prosecuted. On this subjec.
our Baltimore correspondent writes as fol-
lows:
"The people Of Maryland have been rnie'y
brought face to face with the monster mi
guilty Of the age, African slavery, and they
have been forced, against their will, to look
upon its hideous deformity. they have
seen it essay to destroy the best government
that was ever on earth, in the insane ambi-
ton of the STAKEHOLDER to extend his power
and influence over the whole continent, and
this very day, the shock upon the public
mind of this State has brought 1t almost up
to the determination to get rid of the ac-
cursed Institution within our own boundir-
les and to acqniesce in its speedy extiDqulsh-
ment 10 the further slave States, by tha
prompt exercise of the war power, gently
suggested by Gen. Fremont, and only yes
,criay energetfcally removed By Colonel
John Cochrane God bless him y and en-
dorscd many times BY Gen. Cameron, who
is not afraid to avow his sympathy with hu.
man Liberty, even for the black skin. BE
not astonIshed, then, to see the next Legis-
lature set on foot measures that shall SCI
the State free from the crime of further al
lowing its inhabitants the supreme priv
leese Of robbipg the poor negro Of bis jus;
earnings and keeping him down in debssine
bondage. Disgust of negro slavery is rap
idly taking the place Of federation Of th,
curse"
| They who set on foot this nefa.ious wal
against Republican institutions little dream
ed what FIRE they were Lighting up Tr:
| 5une.

A KEEN REDUkE TO NORTHERN
DUuGuFACES.

The subject of AboE,ionism continues to
occupy the chief thoughts Of large num-
Der of the Northern Democratic journals
The interests CT slavery give them far
more anxiety than tie interests Of their
own country, and wetelieve We do them no
injustice in expressing the opinion that
when the question is sauarely presented to
them, whether slavery or the Union shall
90 to the wall they will decide to let the
Union slide. We base our conviction that
such would be their choice, on the fact that
they are far more bis,sr in their assaults
upon the Republican party, than they are
upon the rebels in arms against the Gov
eminent. Morning, noon and night the
burden Of their song is "Abolitionism,"
and for every word th.y utter in defense Of
the war they give ven, to column of rant
upon "Black Republicans" and the neces-
sity Of adherinyto GU, constitutional obi
cations to the South. Ii they ever sustain
the Administration with real sincerity, i. is
when they think they discover some act fa-
vorable to slavery. How different is the
loyal papers in the slave States, from these
whining, hopocritieal organs of the white
feather Democracy Let them rcnd the fol-
lowing singing rebuke from the Frankfort
ky.,) Commonwealth, and silence their
treacberous tongues:
The rebels have two full regiments OF ne
croes in louisiana. They have three or
-four regiments of Indians in the field, armed
with temahawks and sca'ping knives, in
addition to the ordinary weapons OF war
fare. They baye battalion of Nashville

STATE RIGHTS.

For many years past, the grand cry of
nearly all the present leaders in this rebellion
has been the protection of State rights
State rights, so-calied, has been the grand
principle of their political creed, the princi.
pie upon which they have professed to base
their whole course of political action. They
have declared every State to be soye-
reighty, possessing the right to regulate it's
own policy and destiny according to it's own
will. The right of every State to remain
in the Union or to 90 out of it, to transfer
its allegiance to another Government or to
establish an independent and isolated Gov,
eminent of its own, they have declared to
be unqaestionable and sacred. They have
denounced all opposition to this doctrine as
despot.sm or aboltionsu.
This has ever been the proclaimed theory
OF the rebel leaders, and now see what they
are doing in Kentucky. Our State, within
brief period, has, according to all The forms
Of her Constitution aud her laws, voted by
immense msj prisies to remain in the Union,
and at the same time she has declared that
she would not invade the Confederate States
or consent to their being invaded through
her territory. But her votes and her de-
elarations have been disregarded and spurn.
ed. Without prov ocation and with no pre-.
text not utterly absurd, the authorities Of
the Southern Confedaracy have thrown sig

RECKINRIDGE R's AHEAD.

Nearly all Of those who have recently ad-
vocased the policy of crushing out slavery
wherever our arms are carried, have been
old line Democrats. Hon. George Bancroft,
Gen. Butler and Gen. Burnside are Of this
stamp. We have been taken aback By these
declarations. With the Providence Journal
We exclaim:
at Is very hard for rs BLACK Republi-
cans to keep up With the Breckenridge Dem
ocrats on the negro question, as new phases
OF il are developed BY the war; bat we are
willing to walk behind when men Who a
year ago were in favcr of extending slavery
to Rhode Island, now talk Of abollshing /, in
South Carolina. Don't be too fast gentle
men. Read the Iiberafor and learn pru-
denee, listen to Wendell PaiIlips, aud be
