A MARYLAND WE w.

Judge Bond of Baltimore has been an able
and earnest leader in the great revolution which
has given Maryland evermore to FREQ Labor
and changed her vote from Breckenridge in 1860
to Lincoln in 1864. IN speech last week be-
fore the Maryland Freedmen's Aid Society, he
said:
at is an erroneous Idea that Slavery Is dead Truth
crushed 10 earth will rise again. and will lie. One
form of Slavery Is dead but how mutfarious iis forms
may he remains for history to develop The south Is TO
come back and take part In the Government OF the
United States The questions before tho American people
are how the States shall back; upon what terms
they shall back and what we shall dictate to them
not what the! shall ask They exist now as states WIN
shall give them republican form OF government. II
yon give the government to all the people OF the Onea
States there question but what they VIII have H.
Who has bewitched Bostcnians 10 think that the men
who are 10 TO Congress from these States VIII ever
vote for q revenue bin which In to rsy debt which was
run up in whipping thcmi How many IF them have the
bonds Of tho United Statei How many OF them have
not got tho bonds Of the Southern Confederacyi

Judge Fond advocated the educating tue freedmen
Thoy exhibited be said capacity than any foreign
enierants who landed on our shores There were less
Criminals among the blacks proportionsl!y than among
the whites The negro. he said. has as much intelii'
gence as HE master. and O great deal more Loyalty.
There is no safety for the South II the black man is not
given the right vote IL the cap II freedom they were
about 10 drink is dashed from their lips. and they are
told il was all mistake. The returning OF Anthony
Burns 10 Slavery IL but very small thing compared 70

unless there shall be neither Slavery or involuntary
erviiude In except for crime aud unless they have
given the coored people the only thing that will protect
them-the elective franchise Judge Band spoke al
