"A Communication In tho Baltimore Americana
In his remarks to the members Of Con-
gress from the Border States the Presi-
dent says: 81 dol not speak Of EmaHctPa-
lion at once, but! of decision at once TO
emuncipate grailualLu" Here is the
gist of the whole matter, 80 far as Mary
land is concerned. The process of gradual
emancipation is going on by daily STAN
pedes, the facilities for which will increase
by prolongatioh of the war Things of
that sort once successfully begun increase
with astonishing rapidly, until they u.s.
sumo the form OF mania, like the Seces-
sion mania and o Their manias, now become
historical. Maryland is in state of
transition between slave and free labor,
advancing with rapid strides towards the
latter from the very necessities of her
position. No one doubts the ultimate re-
suit, whatever Government may control
her future.-Adapted in soil, climate and
resources to the requirements of the supe-
rior race, the superior race will claim her
for its own use. White men will not
give up country capable of supporting
white men to negroes and mulAttoes.
1t will make no difference as to this mat
ter whether Maryland is the Southern
border offs Northern Confederacy, or the
Northern border of Southern Confede-
racy. or the Central Atlantic State of the
great Union, in the preservation OF which
She has staked her all. 1t will make q
vast difference as to her immediate future
that, instead of Sinking the issue thrust
upon her by the on rushing tide of events
SHE should manfully meet that issue and
speak the word that shall ensure peace
and security to her citizens forever. Who
are the slaves of Maryland? Her white
men, who know her wants, but dare not
speak them. Aye, truly, let us, for Gods
sake, break tho chains which bind the
white man. Let us emNncipate ourselves!
Let us dare to be free! Then will not our
race of men exhibit the contemplate
spectacle of sncaking into by-wnys and
corners to whisper the import of their
solenl convictions, afraid to confront the
enemy which seeks to overthrow them.
Who doubts the cause of this war?
What is the cornerstone ofthe Southern
Confederacyp Ask Alexander II.
Stephens, and Toombs, and Keitt, and
Spratt.
Men of Maryland you are called upon,
not by the President alOne-he is but the
mouth-piece of the times, he but speaks
the exigency you know and feel-you are
called upon by the solemn voice of destiny
to decide between the democratic Repub-
lie of the United States and the institution
of slavery Which is dearest to you, the
freedom of the white man or the slavery
of the black man2
The professed Union man who cannot
say with Andrew johnson and Maynard
and Brownlow, 81 am for the Union,
though slavery go to the wall lin any
contest between the Union and slavery [
am for the Union and against slavery, :" is
not Union man at all.
The Union man who weighs in this crisis
the former or prospective value of his
slaves against his country is no Union man
at all. Are there not thousands of white
men pouring out their life's blood in de-
fence of your rights of property? Has not
our grand old government protected you
always? What then Why, destroy the
rebel hopes of adding Maryland to their
Confederacy because of the peculiar in
stitution." We know it is a dulusive hope;
We know it is an impossibility; neverthe-
less, it is hope and a prop to traitors
there, in the South, fruitful of wordy mes
sages from JEFF. Davis about liberatiug
Maryland; of machioe-poetry ding-douged
to melancholy tune by traitors in petit
coats and street darkies, of whiskey-inspi-
red eloquence and psthos from worthless
reuegades, who have left US for our good
We know that the people here in this good
little State are eternally moored to the
rock of the Union. Then we owe the I'm
ion duty. WHAT'S it? Let US learn from
the rebels themselves to destroy that upon
which the enemy builds his hopes. They
burnt their cotton aud threw their sugar
into the river to prevent US from getting it.
Let US place an impossible gulf between
ourselves and those who, in the language of
Mr.. Stephens, have made "sIavery the cor
ner-stone of new Republic" and are
nsing the powers of earth aad hell, to over
throw the old Republic, whose genius is
freedom.
"Riches take unto themselves wings and
fly away" Human chattles are provided
with natural means of locomotion and
''moVe off" The institution learning the
tactics of BeauregRrd and eVacuating the
premises. 1t is a spawned animal-and is
terribly worried with the heaves. Here's
n man wants to buy stock-lets sell out.
The Rebel Commissioners, without con-
sulting US, and without pecuniary consid-
Grafton, proposed to sell us out to Abolition
Euglaud for the sake of foreign aid. They
would have robbed us first aud have sub
jected US to the degradation of being loca-
ted under their pestferous rule by the out
side pressure of our hereditary enemy. Is
not the preservation of our liberties for
ourselves and children-the perpetuation
of free government for the benefit of our
kind, worthy of some sacrifice supposibg
emancipation with pecuniary compensation
to be sacrifice, or prospective emancipa-
