MARNEAND.

Two years ago, Maryland, like Missouri, was
requested, solicited, almost entreoted, to en'an-
cipate her slaves in her own time aud manner,
and accept compensation therefor from the Fed
eral Treasury. The proposition was rejected by
her Jnion Legislature, after having been voted
against by her Union Members of Congress.
Now, Emancipation is marching on both in
Maryland and Missouri, and the PrO-SlWeY
party of l563 plead for Gradual and Comgcn-
stated Emancipation in 1864; but the response is
"too laie You would not accept Compensation
when 1t was offered now you cannot have it,
Tie baltimore 1mcncon frankly tells the
shareholders and their remaining adhcrcuts that
aH that is needed is The repeai Of certom ricioas
and oJsoi,ie lars TO make Maryland Free State.
We beg the Uuionia;s of other State, wherein
Slavery still fingers TO bear this truth IN mind.
slavery can be abolished by simple legislative
act repeating in one section, oil the laws which
authorize one man to compel another to worl,
for him without wages, or to sell that Others
wife and children. Slavery originates in forco,
but is upheld ard pcrpetuated by what are mae.
curatcly termed laws. Repeal these laws, and
each STAKEHOLDER who seeks to coerce his latc
chaiol becomes law-brcoker, and renders HIM
self liable to an action for assault, if not for fc.
ony. Here is a hint whereby Kentucky may
ye, profit.
The Maryland Convention bill still hangs on
a disagreement between the two Houses. The
SHAREHOLDERS crave al least delay, and thus OBJ

CONSTITUTIONAL REFOEJIS IN
RIASIA.

The speech with which the Emperor Aiexan-
der opened last year the Diet Of Finland, led to
the expectation that constitutional reforms for
other parts of the Russian Empire were in course
of preparation. The official organ Of the Cabi-
net of st. Petersburg repeatedly confirmed this
belief and announced that kind Of representa-
tive constitution would be given to the provinces
Of the Empire. We now learn from the official
organ, that an Imperial uhase has been pub
lished for the organization OF the provincial and
district representations of Russia, with the e1-
ception of tho Western and Baltic provinces,
Archangel, Astracan, and Bessaraba.
This step inaugurates the reign Of constitu-
tional monarchy in Russia. The rights Of the
people, conferred by the Imperial ukase, will be
few compared with those enjoyed by other Eu-
ropean nations; still it Is step toward most
important reform in the largest Of all European
empires. The bulk Of the Russian population
has been hitherto an unthinking mass, as the
small number Of books and papers published IN
Russia clearly shows. The introduction OF
representative constitution will of course, greatly
contribute to the education Of the whole people,
and will thus have marked influence upon the
destiny Of Europe.
