dollars for emancipation in Maryland. Il is
sad, says the Cambridge htelHqencer. that
Mr.. Crisfeld was at first opposed to it but
has since become well disposed towards it
But we don't know nor care whether he is
opposed to it or in favor of it. The peonle
are taking the matter in their own hands
and Will put it through. During the present
week the following petition has been circu-
lated IN the county, and for the short time
allotted to its circulation, has been numerous
signed, and by the the very best men in the
county. The petition is as follows:
TO the Congress Of tie Uni;ed States.
The undersigned, loyal citizens of Mary
land being sincerely anxious that MARYLAND
shell cease to tolerate Slavery, and convinc-
ed that grant of ten millions of dollars
Will suffice to compensate for the inconveni-
ences, public and private, and to alleviate
the shock to the industry of the State
incident to such change, respectfully nett.
ton your Honorable Body for the passage
OF such an act, subject to conditions as NAV
De thought reasonable to exclude disloval
persons from taking any benefit under it.
