MbRYLAND A FREE STATE. Maryland has
adopted the new lr3o stats Coo3ttul,n by a
vote Of 80, III to 1870 Tao home vote was
Slightly against this c)aititlsion, but the
soldiers vote turned the sclles Gov. Bradford
has made proclamation that the Constitution Is
adopted and Maryland -" my Maryland -
can now rightfully DO ellss,d among the fro9
States, 10 Baltimore, and other portions Of tho
State, tn result has been hailed with demon
STATIONS of the liveliest satisfaction, Process
sions, speeches, Examinations, have welcomed
the advent Of the era Of freedom.
The number of free blacks in the State at
tho late census was larger than that Of the
slaves, being nearly 10000, whlo there were
less than $4,000 slaves. The same reasons
which have influenced the fire., blacks to remain
there hitherto, will operate to keep those just
freed from leaving the State, and there will be,
therefore, lttle ltauy disturbance in thepopna
zion. The freed colored men will b, needed for
the same work they have hitherto performed,
the ooly difference being that their labor will
now be voluntary and receive adequate COM
pensatioa. The effect upon the State, however,
will soon be marked, and we shall be greatly
mistaken, il in the next twenty years Maryland
does mol increase IN wealth and population
more than she has for tho last forty years and
she will then bless the rebellion that opened to
her the gotes Of Liberty.
