they ought to deny.

How apt it is, and

what would be tho danger from the success of
such party, let the fraudulent and delusive
emancipation act of the Missouri. "ConServa-
tiyes" declare. Maryland does not mean to be
similarly cheated. She has such party indeed,
but il will be ground to powder ct the polls.
The people of Maryland are reminded, more
over, that the policy of Freedom, which they are
about to adopt, is the same policy which was
recognized as just in earlier days. 1--WE rejoice
that this war gives the people of Maryland the
opportunity to remove from among them an in
cubus on their prosperity, and enables them to
do what our fathers could not see their way
clear to do, but what the Harpers and Pinck'
news. in common with the men Of their days,
tho golden days Of Maryland, earnestly desired
to do-to free every foot of their soil from the
tread of Slave, and consecrate it unreServedly
to Freedom So cherishing the memory and
recalling the instructions Of the past, these loya
freedom-loving men look forward to the day
which already dawns upon their sight, the day
which shall consummate the work of Emancipa

A list Of the Directors and stockholders in the
Cross-Iown Railroad Company, which we pub
lish this morning, possesses special interest
for the Taxpayers of this city. 1t has been
hitherto considered quite bad enough that these
valuable franchises in the city streets should be
given mp for the private benefit Of few citizens,
while no equivalent whatever was rendered in
return 10 the city, and the public convenience
was left, OF the same time, uncared for. But it
is an aggrayation Of the wrong, it is to add
insult 10 injury, to grant new charter to a
company majority Of whose Directors

a sister who was compelled to try to support
life on making mems fine shirts at sir,sen cents

MARHLAN ID.

The loyal MEMBER Of the Maryland Legis-
lature have issued an address to the loyal people
Of the State, congratulating them on the
progress Of Emancipation, and eYhorting them
to be watchful that the cause take no step
backw The bill TO ascertain the sense Of the
people on the call Of Constitutional Conyen-
ton having passed, and the sense Of the people
being known TO be overwhelmingly in favor OF
the plan, there seemed To be little danger Of
a light vote on the right side, while the Pro-
Slavery faction Of Rebel sympathizers are sure
To muster oil their forces in opposition. The
control Of the Convention is to be struggled for,
also, because Of al unequal basis of representa-
ton, which works to the advantage of the dis
loyal counties, and which necessitstesa full vote
from those in favor of Emancipation. Hence
these earnest words Of appeal TO the people.
On the all important question which the Con
ventiOn il TO settle, the language Of the Lcgis-
ature is unequivocsl. 1--WE are in favor of
Emancipation, immediate final, unconditional,
unfettered by negro serfdom." All the counsel
of the address il conceived and urged in the
spirit Of this sentence. IL is spirit which re-
Dukes on the one hand the conditional pro-
tracted, halfway Emancipation offered to the
State by resctionists Of the Montgomery Blair
school, and on the other, pronounces with equal
emphasis against the policy Of :" negro serfdom,'

OF course there is no effort to deny the exist

emancipationists, if not strong in numbers, are
virulent in feeling and desperate in purpose.
