EMANCIPATION IN M4RyLANp- five


are to judge from the progress of events, the
question Of emancipation is to be forced TO an
issue at the approaching election in this State.
The Washington Chronicle, in abiding to this
subject, urges the necessity of the people of
this State making emancipation the issue, and
avoiding the election of any man who may
in the least be considered doubtful
In confirmation of the foregoing apprehen-
sion, we also insert the following, one of a
series of resolutions, passed at a large Union
meeting, held at the Maryland Institute in
Baltimore, on the Goth instant, at which Gov
BRADFoRD presided:
Resoioed That the safety and interest of
the State of Maryland, and especially of her
white laboring people, require that slavery
should cease to be recognized by the law Of
Maryland, and that the aid of the United
States, as recommended by the President
ought to be asked and accepted to alleviate
the public and private inconvenience incl
dent TO the change.
THE ROCKVILLE ACADEMY.-Th trus-
tees of the above institution, at special meet
ing held on Wednesday last, appointed r. N
CONRAD, Esq, of the District of Columbia,
Principal, vice JOHN F. KEENAN,, Esq, whose
continued i'll health obliges him to retire from
the charge of that institution. We learn that
Mr.. Conrad brings with him testimonials of
the highest order for capacity and scholastic
attainments.
TIE SEASON.-The unusual quantity of
rain which has fallen this Spring, must neces-
sarily render farming and gardening opera
tioGs very backward, the ground continuing
too wet for most spring work. We have
heard of very few oats being sown as yet, or
Of much spring blowing for corn. The pros
pect for the usual supply of carly garden We
eetables is equally discouraging. We hope,
however, for the appearance Of fine weather
shortly, which will, no doubt, produce fa-
vorable change in this respect.
The fruit buds, we are glad to hear, have
not been injured, and the prospectior an album
dant yield seems quite fatterng.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT We regret to
learn that Mr.. GEO. MONROE, highly respect
ed citizen of our county, met with his death
whilst returning with his wagon from the
District, on Thursday night of last week. A
shor: distance beyond Ball shop, his wagon
ran of the pike and upset, which fell on him,
causing his death in few minutes. Mr. NJ
was about 80 years of age, and leaves Wit,
and three children TO mourn their sad be.

STOCK RUNNING AT LARGE.-In view
Of the fact of much of the fencing having beer
recently destroyed in this county, ii is advisa
bic that every person having live stock
should keep them, as far as practicable, in theil
own enclosures. A little attention. in this re-
spect, wonld go far to prevent much heart
burning that might otherwise occur among
neighbors.
JUDGES OF ELECTION.-The Judges o.
Election, for the several election districts il
this county, were appointed by the Commits
sioners, on Tuesday last. We have not beer
able, as yet, to obtain a list of those selected
but learn that, for this district BERNARD Mos.
