A CONTRAST.

In Maryland, instead of sending a
negro who has been convicted of a minor
otiensc to prison, he is sold into seryitude
for the length of time he would have to
serve in prison. A sale has recently
taken place in Maryland under this law
and it has aroused all the tender svmpa-
thies Of those who would degrade and
impoyerish the white people ofthc South
This sympathy for the negro has resulted
in the introduction in the House Of Rep
resentatiyes by Mr. Kasson, OF Iowa, of a
bill making it a felony to sentence or sell
a negro into slavery, and the ohcnse is
punishable by fine up to 5000 or inn
prisonment up to ten years This bill
was passed by the House on the Sth inst
Now for a contrast In Connecticut
if a man OF woman happens to be too
poor to take care Of himself or herself
the State generally provides for taking
care of this unfortunate individual by
selling him or her to the lowest bidder,
the successful bidder being entitled to the
services of the person sold The sale is
made for only one year. 50 that the poor
unfortunate is not allowed to exc out life
under one master. The man or woman
who becomes pauper under the poor
laws Of Connecticut virtually becomes a
slave the balance of his or her days
This is the fate Of white people in Con
necticut, and perhaps other New England
and Northern States, yet the COM
passion Of men who have SO much sym
patty to expend in behalf Of negroes
guilty OF ofenses against the law, has
never been awakened to the fate of white
men and women, who are virtually sold
into perpetual slavery
