zen had the curiosity on Wednesday last
to note the names of twenty-five of the
gold spectators at certain board, and
on referring to the tax-list he found two
OF them onl y assesscd-one on $40 and
the other on Sl6l income" Yet these,
and such as these, are the gamblers who
have helped materially to run up the ma
tional debt about ..one thousand millions OF
dollars more than it ought to have been.

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1865-02-11
MIR. CresVyeli's Speech Oh the
Constitutional Amen 1. ment.

The n. Y. Mcthodist one of the leading
religious journals in the country, thus speaks
of the able speech of Mr.. Crcswell, Oh the
Constitutional Amendment:
sit was eloquent and cogcnt. Indeed
there was about it an dnimuS that scarcely
finds place in any speeches except those of
the Border State and anti-slavery men. A
Northern man, in reading Mr.. Creswcl' 8
speech, would perhaps wonder why he should
at this late day discuss the merits of slavery
in some places it is, long ago. But we should
remember that until four years ago these
discussions were impossible to. residents of
the Slave States. Slavery was the one thing
about which the people could not open their
mouths. The light which reveals the rotten,
ness of slavery has broken over Maryland
suddenly, like flood. The people are
amazed, and the loyal are delighted to find
themselves at liberty to speak. And public
men like Mr.. Creswcl must enjoy the laxury
of expressing their long pcntup adherence
of slavery. Weary with holding in, it is a
joy, hlessedncss, to be in at the death of
the monster, and give it good hearty shake
while it still shows some signs of life. The
blows of this speech, however, had heen
preceded by strokes of action in helping to
destroy slavery in Maryland.
"Mr Crcswell's eloquent effort was not,
however, a mere matter of oratorical or TO-
rensic luxury, the Joy of freeing his mind of
long pent-up convictions. His account of
the slave laws of Maryland will be new, even
to many of her own sons, and certainly to a
large part of the inhabitants of the loyal
States The action of the Maryland Legis-
laturc for 1860, on the question Of slavery,
and on the free people of color in the State,
was certainly the bascst that the sun ever
looked upon. In this connection Mr.. Cres-
well would have gratficd loyal Marylanders
if he had ONLY perforated the Immortal ia
cobs, who. under the inspiration of the
Methodist Church, South, rejoiccd to lead
the crusade against humanity. Where is
this same Jacobs ? Will not some one in
Maryland inform us?
''Mr. Crcswelrs tribute to the freedmen
of his State, since their liberation, is one of
| the most touching and valuable parts of his
speech. 1t seems they possess, in spite of
all the disadvantages of their rearing. real
manhood. Instead of abandoning them
selves to brute Incidence they go to work.
