Judge Bond OF Baltimore has been an
able and earnest leader in the great revo-
luton which has given Maryland ever
more to Free Labor and changed her vote
from Breckenridge in 1860 TO Lincoln in
in 1864. In speech. last week, before
the Maryland Freedman's Aid Society be
said:
at is an erroneous idea that slavery is
dead. Truth crushed to earth will rise
again, and so will lie. One form of sla.
very is dead; but how multifArious its
forms may be, remains for history to de-
velop. The south is to come back and
take part in the Government of the United
States. The questions before the Ameri-
can people are, how the States shall come
back; upon what terms they shall. come
back, and what we shall dictate to them,
not what they shall ask. They exist now
as States without Government. The Con-
stitution requires that We shall give them
republican form of government. Hyou
give the government to all the people Of
the United States there is no question but
what they will have it. Who has be-
witched Bostonisns to think that the men
who are to come to Congress from these
States will ever vote for revenue bill
which is to pay debt which was run up
in whipping them ? How MANY of them
have the bonds of the United States p
How many of them have not got the bonds
OF the Southern Confederacy?
"Slavery, he added, exists in every
thing except name throughout the south;
and how is it to be abolished ? There is
but one way, and that way is to give the
freedmen the fundamental power of the
citizen-the ballot Another erroneous
idea, said the spesker, is that we must have
some test, some limitation upon the right
to vote. This is a question Of dynamics.
The more power can get on my side the
better like it. The more negroes can
get to vote on my eide, the better. But
/ you say how can you do this? Their State
! Constitutions are against it, Didn't the
1 people of Maryland abolish their Consti
tuition, and the people OF North Carolina
four years ago?. We did not acknowledge
the new thing they made, but we all &C
knowledged the right of the people t.
abolish their constitutions. The old con
stitutions are abolished, and il you e
back to the Constitution of the United
States, you must call upon the people O
the United States, living 10 these State.
to form their government. Then in Vir
GINA We shall have majority Of the peo
pie on our side, about whose loyalty ther.

shall have nearly the whole. We shal
divide the southern vote and prevent from
going to Congress those who will resis

"Judge Bond advocated the educatio,
of the freedmen. They exhibited, he said
more capacity than auy foreign emigrant
who landed on our shores.
"There were less criminals among til
blacks proportiopally than among th
