though the proportion Of "The Shores popu-
lation thoroughly educated is very small COM
pared with the proportion in any non-slave-
holding State as long settled as Maryland. This
is but an incident Of the prevalence OF
slavery which, here as elewhere, has
monopolized for it's class nearly all knowl-
edge from books as surely as 1t has appro-
priated to Itself nearly all the property
This fact is the key to the condition OF the
white labor OF the rebellious States, which, in
turn, accounts for the apparent ease with
which the oligarchy, supported by their class
usurped all power iii the affairs OF the Con
federacy, reducing all others to a condition of
practical slayery-as the subjects OF a naked
military despotism, as absolute so far as rights
of person OF property are concerned, as the
negro slavery existing in our South-nay, as
absolute as that Of the Kim gdom of Dahomey.
This state OF things has up to this time been an
almost insuperable bar to emigration to sThe
Shore" Few men not Shareholders or not able
to live without labor and to give their children
thorough education without looking to the
State for aid in so doing, could dream oI
casting their lot where to labor with ones
hands was regarded as degrading, and where
it was inculcated into the minds of the ig-
norant and poor, that they must thug the
source or cause OF their ignorance and poverty
-slayery-ciose to their hearts, as their only
possible insurance against negro equality. As
illustrative Of this point 1 may not inappro-
priately mention that among the eighteen thou
sand souls in Dorchester county there are not
more than Dozen all males-born out OF the
limits of the United States while there are also
far fewer persons living here born elsewhere
in the United States than son The Shore"
than one can conceive, who is not familiar
with its almost entire isolation up to this time.
The lesson to be drawn from these facts is
the opportunities Of all desirable descriptions
for all men OF enterprise, Information and en-.
ergy, with or without means, come from where
they may, which the adjustment OF slavery
has opened up upon Marylands Eastern Shore
mines Of future wealth in its undeveloped soil,
fisheries, forests and facilities, amid climatic
advantages such as are to be found nowhere
else or this continent. w. u. w.

located afar off. Though owning most of the
property, they did comparatively nothing for
popular education around them, and the chill.
dren of the white laborers have consequently
been far too frequently left to grow up with
as little education as the children of the slaves
to educate whom has been regarded here as
positive crime against the interest and well
being OF society. Turn as one will upon "Ths
Shore.' the deplorable effect OF this universal
attribute of the existence of slavery in COM
munity meets the eye Of the observing man.
That is in the enormous absolute waste oue
sees Of sinews and brains, which if stimula-
ted and trained as wherever thorough pop.
ular education by books and workshops
prevails, would long since have made the
Eastern Shore OF Maryland as rich in propor.
tion to population as Rhode Island, and wolld
at the same time have distributed it's wealth
among all classes of the community as thor
oughly as the statistical tables prove that to
have been done in that wealthiest State of the
American Union.
Before slavery was abolished here few Of
the vicinage but the slave holder touched a
dollar of the proceeds of the slaves labor, as
he sold nearly all Of it abroad and bought
nearly all his supplies abroad His. negroes
since being emancipated, are getting in wages,
far more than they previously earned for him
and spend what they get among those engaged
in business immediately around them. Thus,
it is a common subject Of remark among the
latter that their sales, receipts &c, have been
greatly increased since the adoption of the new
Constitution. ALI sagacious persons will per.
ceive at glance that this change is destined to
be of signal advantage to all business men in
any community where it has or may occur.
Thorough education here is confined almos.
exclusively to the late slaveholding class.
