tanning the Private Acts and Resolutions of the

H. G. MAoKALL, Of the Maryland Bar. To which
is added, the CONSTITUTION OF MARY

BY EDWARD OTIs HNKLEY, of the Baltimore Bar.
We believe We thus offer to the public work
invaluable to every Lawyer, Magistrate, Politician,
Business Man, and every Citizen of Maryland,
and one invaluable to every possessor of the
Code.
The Importance of the legislation of the late SEES
sions of the Legislature affecting, as it does the in
terests Of e0ery man in the State renders it matter
of the greatest moment to each individual, to
have in convenient and accessible form the
Acts of Assembly, and it is scarcely less SO to
have embodied, in the same volume, the Impor-
tdnt Resolutions which enunciate the policy of
the State in the present crisis, while it will prove
a matter of no slight moment to individuals and
corporations, thus to have preserved in perma-
nent form, the Acts on which their rights and
interests may depend.
By continuing the publication of the work, as
we propose, it is believed that the Bar of Mary
land will have the Statute Law of the State in a
form as convenient and accessible as that of any
State in the Union.

The whv and wherefore.

Among the reasons for the deadly hostility
of many democrats to all measures to rid the
country Of slavery, is one purely of interest.
If slavery should cease to exist, this class Of
democrats would DC deprived Of the CHIEF
bond of sympathy with our southern breth.
rem" Slavery left as living element in
our politics. after the rebellion is suppressed,
and the Union restored, these democrats
naturally conclude that their occupation
would be in requistion again dough face.
ism would flourish, and the southern democ'
racy, and what il left ofthe northern, would
again commingle as kindred drops flow into
one, bound together by this old and potent
affinity and interest But these unprinci-
pied demagogues are counting without their
host The march Of events will have more
to do with the solution of this question than
all the insane rawlings Of the fanatic,l advo-
Gates of human servitude. These bogus dem
ocrats have justly made the very name Of
modern democracy odious to every friend Of
human rights. Slavery from henceforth
ceases to be an element in the politics Of
this country. and with it democracy looses
its prestige and its power. 1t is bankrupt
in available political capital. 1t would be
better for our neighbor Of the Mercury, to
acquiesce in this view ofthe subject, and not
be wasting his time and talent talking about
a thing of the past. Give the deceased .
decent culogy. and let it sleep in quiet

Our army at Pittsburg is in excellent
