Of Massachusetts. Such are the vast
natural advantages Of Maryland over
Massachusetts,. Now let us observe the
results. Population Of Maryland in 1890
319,728; in 1860, 6S7,034 Increase 367,-
800 Population Of Massachusetts, in
1870, 376,7l7; in 1860, 1,28l,065 In
crease 652, 2,348 difference Of increase in
favor of Massachusetts,, 485, ,0l8; excess
Of Massachusetts, over Maryland in 1890,
58,9e9, aud in 1860, 544,03l.
"The population Of Maryland in 1890
was 28 70 the square mile (28.74.) and In
1850, 6l to the square mile, (61T6,)
whereas Massachusetts had 48 90 the
square mile in 1890 (4S.55.) and 157 20
the square mile in 1860 (157 S2) Thus
Massachusetts had only 20 more to tho
square mile in 1890, and SO more 20 the
square mile IN 1860 This result Is
amazing when sye regard the far greater
area of Maryland and her other vast ma
tional advantages" oiin fif. onA
1t is clear that manufacturers cannot
account for this difference, for the agri :
cultural West shows sill greater in :
crease. Maryland has greater natural
advantages for manufacturing than Mas
sachusetts, land Massachusetts, did not
become a manufacturing State until after
the tariff of 1924. W set

A Contrast.

Hon, r. j. WALKER, former u. S. Sena-
tor from Mississippi draws the following
striking contrast between two States Of
the Union. f...f,...I,.ii ~...-...
- In 1870 the population Of Maryland
was one-twelfth Of that Of the whole
Union. 1t was one-sixth that of the
free States. In 1860 Maryland consti-
tuted one-forty fifth part Of the Union,
and was equal to one e-twenty-seyenth
part of the free States II Maryland's
growth had been equal 10 the average
growth ot the Union, she would have
had, in 1860, population Of 2,620,315 ;
and if her proportional increase had
equalled thatof the free States, 3, 1853, :
1872. BY the census of 1860 she has
6s7 ,O34. She might not have reached
any of these results, but she would GER
tainly have had the same population per
square mile as Massachusetts,, which
would have given her ], 1855 and Bal
timOre would have contained 642, 600 in
stead of $4,000 people.
"As TO area, Maryland exceeds Massa-
chusetts 43 per cent; as to the shore
line, Maryland is nearly double that OF
Massachusetts,, having 6S miles more ol
main shore, bays and sounds, 3S miles
more for islands, and nearly eight times
the number Of miles for rivers TO head ot
tide water, AS TO climate, that Of Ma.
ryland is far the most salubrious fol
the ratio of deaths 10 the number living
in Maryland is TO every 90, and il
Massachusetts, / tol every 81 the pei
ceniage OF deaths in Maryland is 100
aud in Massachusetts l.76.
The area Of Maryland Oil for proiita.
BILE culture is more than double that oI
Massachusetts, the soil much more fer
tile, its mines Of coal and iron, with th'
fluxes all adjacent, rich and inexhausti
BILE; whereas Massachusetts, has no coal
and no valuable mines Of iron OF iluxes
When we reflect that coal and iron ar
the great elements Of modern progress
and baild up mighty empires, this advan
tage Of Maryland over Massachusetts, i
almost incalculable. The hydraulic pow

We copy the above from the United
States census returns of 1860, in order to
exhibit the slight interest in the institu-
ton of slavery which the people of the
proposed new State of West Virginia
have In total population of 350,599
there were only 1z,754, in the year 1860,
and of these no less than seven thousand
were contained in the five counties of
Hampshire, Hardy, Monroe, Greenbrier,
and Kanawha. Since the census was
taken armies have repeatedly transversed
all Western Virginia, battles have been
fought, the country laid waste, and thou
sand of slaVeholding rebels have fed
from that region, either carrying their
slaves with them, or leaving them 70 shift
for themselves. Probably not more than
half the slaves remain in bondage OF
the others either they have absconded
or their masters have. lJ
The proposed new State contains
twenty four thousand square miles,
which would leave the State of Virginia
still very large and populous OF the
100000 in the State, the above figures
show that the formation of the new State
would take off less than one fifth, and
Virginia would still have over million
of inhabitants in an era of peace. There
would be no trouble whatever in abolish
ing slavery in Virginia, where the popu-
laiion is kindred in charcter and pursuits
with the people of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania. The bill which passed the United
States Senate at the last season was that
of Mr., Wiley, Senator from Virginia
and provided for gradual emancipation
as condition Of the admission
of the State. This bill went tC
the House, was fayorably voted upon
there, the House refusing by large vote
to lay it upon the table. II was, owing
to press OF business, made the order oI
the day for next Tuesday, when ii will
come up for action, and we hope win be
passed Mr.. Carlile, the other Senator
from Virginia, tried a dirty trick las
session, 10 get rid of emancipation under
cover of pretending to introduce it, bui
this was detected and exposed, and dur.
ing the Intern since the adjournment o
Congress, public meetings in every county
in the new State have denounced him
demanded his resignation, and earnestly
