MESSAGE OF Gov. BRADFORD OF MARYLAND.-The
message of Gov. Bradford was transmitted to the
Legislature on the 7th inst. Referring to the sub
ject of the Constitutional Convention, he says in
reference to the question of emancipation: -
II believe to-day, as have done for years, that
if we had long ago provided for the gradual eman.
.cpation Of the slaves Of the State, we should now
be, as regards all the national elements of public
prosperity, in advance of our present position The
products Of our State and its natural resources are
such as are adapted to, can be developed by slave
labor
81 am satisfied that the people of the State. in
their moments of calm and deliberate reflection long
since came to the same conclusion. When the con-
spring leaders at the South lifted their hands against
the Union and pointed to slavery Is the institution
upon which their visionary republic was to rest,
they struck blow at its very visals in every Border
State under which it has continued to languish. and
which must inevitably result in its ultimate destruc-
ton. =.
at becomes us, therefore, to whom the whole
question rightfully belongs, to take Immediate meas
ures for its removal which should be no longer de-
layed than may be required by proper respect for
those industrial pursuits with which the institution
has been so long and intimately interviewer, and
q humane regard for the slave himself, which for
bids us to cast him oil unprepared for SO great q
change, too Suddenly upon his feeble resources"
The Governor reiterates his objections to the man
ner in which the enlistment of slaves has been con-
Quoted in the State and to the military interference
with elections 's.'. 81.

HALLELUJAH.

Dr. Hubbard, of the Auburn Adcocate, makes the
following comment on the word hallelujah, word
which, owing to ignorance Of its meaning is some
times irreverently used:
1t isa compound word, made Of halleoo, praise
ye, AMI Yah or &ah, which is an abbreviation of
Jehovah the most awful name Of the Supreme Being
Jah, Jehovah, is derived from hayah the verb to
be, the verb of existence; and when God says, Ex,
iii a.: 81 am that am" he assumes the same
descriptive title as in Rev., T. g.: :" He which is,
and which was, which is to Gomez" that is the i'm
mutable and eternal One. The later Hebrews 80
reverenced this name that they never spoke it or
wrote it. lest they should "take it in vain" as for
hidden Elk, Xxx: Z: but wrote Adonah instead. The
Lord said to Moses, Ex., vi: 2, g.: 81 am Jehovah
appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto ia
cob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my
name Jehovah was not known to them" Other

On one occasion, when Washington was sitting
for hia portrait in Mr., Reale's painting room, he
looked;a4 his watch end said: ..l3s.t3s

IL three minutes longer win be Of any inportence

Fastening my walk up to the State House (vhsre
Congress was in session) know exactly how long
it will take me to walk there and it will not do for
me, IS President, to be absent at the hour OF
meeting"
Mrs. Washington was IS remarkable for punctu-
atty Is her illustrious husband. AT one time, dur
ing the Generals absence, he wrote to her to get
Mr. James Peale to paint her portrait in miniature
and to send it to him. Mrs. Washington wrote >
note 20 the artist saying that her presence as home
was indispensable When the General was away, ana
it would not be convenient for her to attend st s
painting room. She requested him, therefore, 70
come to her house for the sittings, and offered TO
accommodate herself to any hour when It would
suit him to be away from his Studio. In his reply
MI. Peale appointed seven O'Clock in the movnlng
When he left his home to keep the engagement for
the first sitting, it occurred to him that the lady
might not be quite ready to see him at so early an
hour He walked on accordingly, more slowly than
| usual. Mrs. Washington met him with the obser-
vation, "Mr. Peale, Ihaye. been in the kitchen 10
give my orders for the day have read the newspa-
| per- and heard my niece her lesson on the harp,
! and yet have waited for you twenty minutes.
The gentleman of course. felt exceedingly morti'
fed, and remarked that if his engagement bad been
| with General Washington, he should have felt the
! Importance of being punctual to the minute; but
he thought it necessary to allow lady little more
time "S;r," replied Mrs. Washington, 81 am IS
punctual as the general" 1t may be imagined that
Mr. Peale took to be at the house the next day
at the time appointed. -: = :,
