Maryland a Free State November L
Her New Constitution.

The new State constitution of Mary
land, the material portion of which
(the bill Of rights we publish to-day
having passed through every test, in
cluding the ratification by the popular
vote and the State courts, has been
proclaimed by Governor Bradford as
going into effect as the proper consti-
tuition and form of government of the
State, superseding the enc now exist
ing, on the first day of November next
The great feature of this new organic
law of the State lies in the article
which declares that thereafter in this
State .here shall be neither slavery nor
involuntary servitude, except in punish
ment of crime, whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted; and all per-
sons held to service or labor as slaves,
are hereby declared free"
Thus, on Tuesday, the lst day of
November, 1864, slavery ceases to exist
in Maryland for all the slaves therein
on that day become free-men, women
and children. What the aggregate
number thus liberated will be we have
no means Of ascertaining. According
to the census of 1860, the slave popula-
ton of Maryland numbered 81, lS9
against a free negro population OF SO,
g42, and white population Of 5l5,glS.
From these figures it will be seen that
against a pretty stringent code OF laws
for the protection of slavery, very near
one half the black population of Mary
land, and doubtless in the main from
economical considerations, had become
become free in 1860 The other half of
the African element of the State, with
the first year of the rebellion, had be-
come so generally demoralized as to
suggest the opportunity for the abso-
lutte abolition movement which has
Just been perfected We presume that,
considering the slaves that have been
moved from the State by their masters
southwark since 1860, those that have
removed themselves northward, those
that have been turned loose BY their
owners in disgust, or from a lack of
subsistence or employment, aud those
absorbed into the military service of
the United States, the whole number
emancipated by this new constitution
will probably not exceed forty thou
sand
The vote by which this free State
constitution has been adopted, however,
was close one from the heavy opposi
ton majorities Of the lower tobacco
growing counties of the State, in which,
being somewhat Gut of the way, the
institution remained comparatively in
tact against the revolutionary inhu-

A narrow escape. It is said, how
ever, that the emancipationists, regard
ing their success a sure thing,
were caught mapping but that had

CHRfsTMAs AND NEW YEAR.-The
Editor of the Hudson Times thus pleas
antly writes, aud we adopt his language
as our own
CHRISTMAS AND New YEAR.-Dear
Readers, Merry Christmas" AMI a
Happy New Year to you all again.
One year ago, surrounded by these
same dingy walls. and sitting in this
same easy chair. we wrote of Christmas
and New Year, with their joys and fes-
tivities-of the marvellous Santa Claus,
with his reindeer team, and the eager,
wondering children-of little stockings
filed with all sorts of dainty things, and
the eyes that sparkled as little hands
drew cut the treasures-of the terrible
war red with blood aud fiercer than
fire. that WAS crimsoning and consuming
tie land, and to-day. again, before lay
ing aside the pen and scissors for week
of holiday, we renew the greeting.
Iu this brief year just closing, many
have been the changes, although we
hardly note them. We have changed
ourselves, writer and reader, all have
changed and as we pause here upon
the threshold of the New Year, let each
for himself look back over his shoulders
upon the past, and prepare FOR the du-
ties Of the future.
Had we time and space, we would
gladly review the most important events
of the year and weave pleasant fancies
of future joys, but the Printers call for
copy" cuts MS short, and in this last
word of the year we say with PREM
TIcE
"Tis time
Still chamber of the heart, a spectre dim.
Whose tones are like the wizard voice of Time.
Heard from the tomb of ages. points its cold
And solemn finger To the beautiful
And toly visions that have passed away,
And left no Shallow OF their loneliness
On the dead waste of life. That spectre lifts
The coffin-lid of Hope, and joy. and Love,
and. bending mournfully above the pale,
Sweet forms that siumber there, scatters dead
flowers
Der what has passed to nothingness.
The year
Has gone. and with it many glorious throng
OF happy dreams. It's mask is on each brow,
Its shadow in each heart In its swift course
1t waved its sceptre DER the beautiful
And they are not. 1t laid its pallid hand
| Upon the strong maryland the naughty form
Is fallen. and the flashing eve is dim.
1t trod the hall of revelry. where tifronged
The bright and joyous.-and the fearful wall
OF stricken ones. is heard where ersi the song
And reckless shout resounded."
