Maryland's Day.

The Methodist, New York, was
started in the interests of conservatism
and its earlier numbers opposed anti-sla-
very action in the church. A recent
number contains the following;
"Now is the time, of all others, to
make the issue with slavery in Maryland.
Never before, since the in,titution at
tanned to strength in the land has 1t
been so weak in that State as now. The
war has done what ages of peaceful con-
troversy could not reasonably promise to
effect; and will not the friends of eman
cipation. the true friends of the old
Cowmonwealth-join their strength with
divine Providence, and aid heaven itself
in striking the decisive blow? Now the
press is free, as never before. and so IS
speech. Such universal and thorough
liberty Maryland has not known for htty
years past. What the american now
prints, its editors could scarce have whis-
pered three years ago.
Then let the unmanacled press and the
Engaged mouth work. and that with an
energy proportioned to their long rest.
The result of emancipation in Mary
land will be an almost preternatural ad-
vancement of her material prosperity.
The tide of population will flow into her
Immediately and rapidly. This is made
certain by her nearness to the scaboard'
by the extent of her arena in proportion
to the scant population, by her beautiful
climate, meditating between the enerva-
ting South and the frigid Mort. and by
her rivers and bays abounding with fish
and inviting the trade Of all continents.
Why should emigrants 60 thousands OF
miles westward for land, when the very
ships that bring them over the Atlantic
may set them down on the shores OF free
Maryland? Only emancipate the old
State and all the advantages which the
Free States possess she will necessarily
share with them. Besides, if Maryland
will now at once, and irrecovably, pledge
herself to emancipation. that will be the
loudcst and most powerful broadside she
could possibly discharge against the re
bellion.'
