Progress in MARYLAND.

The loyal men of Maryland have become sat.
siiod that there IS no road to an enduring peace
except through the abolition of slavery, and
like wise men they mean to take that road In
the address of the members of the legislature of
that State to the people, urging upon them the
importance Of a vote for immediate emancipa-
ton in the election OF delegates to the Consti.
tutional Convention which is to convene ON the
10th of April, they say
" We are in favor Of emancipation, immed-
ate, hnal, unconditional, uniettered by negro
seridom, unaccompanied by any oppressive bur
dens on people, whose dearest interests have
been sacrificed, whose blood has besn shed
whose fields have been LAID waste in war
selhshly waged by armed traitors in tho interest
and on behalf of slavery. We call on YOU to
see to 1T that such emancipation shall be the re-
suit OF the Convention "
That is the right kind of talk, and if the
same spirit prevails in the Convention, MARYLAND.
within a few months, will be as free as Vermont.
This Tree State movement cannot DO defeated
except by some trick OF its enemies, who will
doubtless mask their hostility under the guise
OF gradual emancipation. We believe, how.
ever, the friends of immediate abolition will
prevail, and that We shall have the satisfaction
pf hailing Maryland as free State before mid.
summer.

The Free Press on Banks.

The Fes Press of last Tuesday has the fol.
lowing
But the Free Press knotps that Gen. Banks
apprentices free negroes does II Justify that I?
and If 50 upon what grounds We wait for
a reply Montpelier Freeman.
We have already said that we do not know
enough about Gen. Banks free labor system. to
either defend or condemn it, and il the Freeman

whether it does either. In Ihe only detailed ae.

regulations carefully explained to them and such

The arrangement did not differ essentially from
contract to labor for a year. between the Ia.
borers on Vermont farm and their EMPLOYER.
But we decline to be drawn into controversy
on this subject. Gen. Banks will Justify HIM.

Everything cannot be done IN q minute. Let
US wall few weeks aud see where the present
Constitution Of Louisiana will come out.
As the Free Press desires to avoid contro.
versy respecting the right Of Major General
to hire out free negroes. We have right to infer
that 1t can had no arguments to justify that ac-
ton. We respectfully suggest, however, that
a paper which has not failed in times past to de.
tend the tnal'eoablo rights Of man irrespective
Of color, ought not to be content to say now
tba. it don't know whether a free black
man should have the same rights to his labor
that a free white man has. And the Free Press
will pardon US for saying that, while it suspects
We know too little to condemn Banks system OF
hiring out free eolorod men, the Free Press
evidently knows 100 much to justify it.
