The Labor Question in Maryland
What is to be Done?

The election and its manifold excitements
being over, and the demonstration made
plain that Maryland has an entirely new
field before her in the necessity she is un-
der to employ free labor, perhaps the most
important thing that can next engage the
earnest attention of her public-spirited
citizens, is the question of how to make the
transition to which she is Immediately SUBJ
jected as little hurtful in all it's consequent
ces as possible! The day of the election
reduced what was with many mere specu-
lation to certainty; the most incredulous
holder OF slaves in the State being then
made capable Of understanding that if he
desires to cultivate his hundreds of acres
another year it cannot be done in the usual
method. What might have been done had
the shareholders been gifted with fore
sight, promptness, discretion, in meeting
the difficulties upon them in the manner
tried III Louisiana, is now mere matter OF
conjecture; but then the probability is that
had they recognized the actual progress or
the peculiar institution toward dissolution,
the temporary troubles might have been
STAYED off until the change would have
been little felt.
For instance, let us suppose that eighteen
months or two years ago the slave-owners
had taken our advice in preparing for the
storm tha, everybody else could see was
rising rapidly in the distance; suppose that
DV q convention Oh tnPlr own tHSy ldu uA-
ed upon terms definitely-as the President
invited them to do-accepting ''compensa-
tom for the imminently threatened and
even actually vanishing interest. Would
not the large compensation protfered have
greatly mitigated what they now groan
over as q heavy visitation? Would they
have the same reason to feel sore over the
results attained? But they would not
however, as individuals, some might have
regarded such o policy as wise, under the
circumstances; but, deceived by the hol-
low promises held forth to them from
Richmond, the majority scorned the good
offices of the President-they would not be
warned of what was impending over them.
Well, the months went by with their con-
stantly accelerating and mighty changes,
and more and more critical became the
condition of slavery here. With free ter
ritory along our whole border, and an ar
my hostile to the perpetuation OF slavery
upon our soil, the institution began to put
itself in motion rapidly for other localities.
Another chance still was left those
who had it in charge, and that was TO
| adopt the policy largely adopted in Loui-
siana, of hiring those no longer subject,
| by the changes OF circumstances, to COM
pulsion. Let US suppose that the planter
here having any number of negroes, whom
| it had become probable-or, at least, possi-
| ble-he might lose from his place on any
| night, had taken occasion promptly 10 eau

THE CHANGING SENTIMENT IN ENG
LAND.-The fact that public sentiment in
England is fast changing in favor of the
North has recently been exemplified in "A
remarkable manner. There have been sew
eral elections for members of Parliament
lately, in various parts of the kingdom.
and in every instance the rival candidates
have gone before the people solely on the
American question, no matter what were
the local interests at stake. All candidates
have been compelled to declare their views
and sentiments in advance on this subject,
and to pledge themselves as to their course
if elected. 1t is gratifying to learn that in
every case the man who ayowed himself q
friend of the North was elected. It is a
fact that speaks volumes on the true senti-
ments of the English people towards this
country. The aristocracy may sympathize
with the South, but the great mass Of Eng
lishmen are friends of the North. Henry
Ward Beecher, during his short stay in
England, has done a good deal to hell this
feeling along, and now it is once fairly
started, it viii keep moving. There is no
longer q chance for quarrel between mo-
ther and daughter. Blood Is thicker than
water, though appearances in our relations
with England have sometimes seemed to
1alsify the old adage.

Voice Of die Soldiers.


The Illinois troops Of the 18th Army
corps are indignant at the action Of the
tories IN the State Legislature, wherein
they assume the concurrence Of the sol
diers in the field in the so-called peace
measures. Last Saturday they adopted 3
series Of resolutions indicative Of their
views. In these they utterly repudiate the
ides Of an armistice with rebels in arms
and pronounce the proposition disgrace
to the State and Army. They threaten the
Copperhesds with the vengeance Of The
justly-ineensed army of Union soldiers;
they call their expressions Of sympathy
for the suffering Of Illinois soldiers in ihe
field, hollow and insineere, and designed
for political effect; they accord to the war
power as 8 war measure the right to abol-
ish slsvery; they denounce the Chicago
Times as an unmitigated Tory organ,
strengthening and encouraging the rebel
hon; they indorse Governor Yates, and
pledge anew to the Government the power
Of their strong right arms to vindicate the
majesty Of the law and the honor Of the
flag.
These resolutions were adopted by a vast
majority in every regiment and company
belonging to Illinois in the 18th army
corps. in Inc 127th, Colonel Eldridge
commanding, the vote against the passage
Of the resolutions was one in 558. SINH
