ProcrcsS in Maryland.

An important election, involving the great
question of emancipation in direct form,
will shortly take place in our neighbor State
of Maryland. This fact alone shows the
rapid progress which public sentiment has
made during the war but we shall not be
surprised if the coming election will perma-
nently decide the growing issue in that
State in favor of human liberty. We re-
mark that the great intelligent mass of other
non-slavoholders-y Maryland, in other
words, under leader of Henry Winter Davis
are radically against the continuation of
slavery but the number of shareholders who
take side with the new sentiment is also re-
markable. The Grand Council of the Union
Leagues of Maryland has issued an address
to all the Councils of the State, which advo.
Gates a system of immediate and general
emancipation Which will place Maryland al
once and forever in the category of free
States. This is significant of the spirit of u
people whose loyalty is earnest or is nothing

CORRESPONDENCE

Notwithstanding the high prices which
every ything commands, trade and business,
ID in a flourishing, not to say, q prosperous
condition. People will buy at any price,
and eventually grow accustomed to even
eNholbtant charges, as experience every
where shows. Those who complain on account
of this state of affairs, should recollect that
no government on earth has 50 well sustain
ed itself es our own, under such enormous
pressure, and no other could. The present
times will stimulate capitalists, and iptiuce
them to invest in enterprises, that must
eventually prove Of immense interest to this
country. The iron business il one branch

to be held in June; and they say it will be
one Of the best, if not the very best. 1t
will, no doubt, be all effort worthy of the

PRopnErIc FoREsIGITr OF DouGLAs.-Iu a
recent speech in the House of Representa-
tives, NJ. Arnold Of Illinois, made these
! interesting statements:
Here / will pause n moment 10 state a
most remarkable prediction made by Doug
las in January, 1861. The statement Is
furnished to me by General c. B. Stewart,
of New York, = gentleman of highest re-
spectability. Douglas was asked by General
Stewart, (who was making New Years
call on Mr. Douglass "What will be the re-
suit of the efforts of Jefferson Davis and his
associates to divide the union y Douglas
replied: THE Cotton States are making an
effort to draw in the border States to their
schemes of Secession. and | am too fearful
they will succeed. II they do succeed there
will be the most terrible ciyal war the
world has ever seen, for years. Virginia will
become a charnel house but the end will
be the triumph of the Union cause. One of
their first efforts will be to take possession of
this capital to give them prestige abroad,
but they win never succeed in taking it;
the North will rise en- maSse to defend it;
but il will become a city of hospitals; the
churches will be used for the sick and
wounded. and even the Minnesota block
NOW the Douglas HospitaD may he devo-
ted 10 that purpose before the end Of the
war" General Stewart inquired, What
Justification is there for all this" Douglas
replied, There is no justification, nor any
pretcnce of any. If they will remain in the
Union ! will go rs far as the constitution
will permit to maintain their Just rights,
and do not doubt but a majority OF Con
gress will do the same. But said he, rising
ON his feet and extending his arm, " If the
Southern States attempt 20 scccde from this
Union without further cause, ! am in favor
of their having Just SO many slaves, and just
so much slave territory Us they can hold at
the point Of the bayonet, ana no more"
