Resolped by the General assembly of Nary
land, the Senate cOncurring, That the retention
of the word white in the Constitution of this
State is obnoxious to censure, because it is in
contravention of the National Constitution, and
in opposition to the spirit of the age
A considerable discussion here oc-
CURED, too running in its character to
be intelligently reported, as to wheth
er the Introduction of the resolution
was new matter, and as such the rules
must be suspended under the Consti-
tuition, which requires two-thirds
vote by roll call. Motion upon mo-
ton and points of order were made in
rapid succession, the multiplicity and
speed creating considerable confusion.
The Chair Mr.. Stake finally decided
that the resolution was before the
House, and the pending question was
the motion for their reference to the
committee on Colored Population.
From this decision Mr.. koons ap-
pealed, and the Chair was sustained.
The vote was then taken on the re-
ference to the committee on Colored
Population, and the motion was re-
Jected by 81 yeas and SO nays, and the
motion to send the resolution 10 the
Judiciary committee was adopted by
IL yeas to 25 nays, most of the Repub-
lican members voting nay.
The Senate bill amending the Lii
quor License Laws of the State as a.
mended by the substitute proposed by
the Ways and Means committee of the
House, was called up as the order of
the day.
A vote on the bill (the previous
question having been called) then re-
resulted in its defeat for want of IA con-
stitutional majority by 81 yeas 81 nays.
This was reconsidered and the House
took recess until o'clock.
The House met at o'clock, but no
further proceedings on the License bill
is reported.
The House bill making Good Friday
legal holiday was passed. Also Mr..
Fenton's bill in relation to the attach
ment of wages of non-residents.

Maholnet.

Five times each day, from where the
waters of the Atlantic and Mediterra-
mean mingle to the banks of the Indus
and Ganges, ring out upon the air from
the minarets of myriad mosques this
call, ''To prayer; to prayer. There is
no God but God, and Mahomet is his
prophet And at the words more
than a hundred million of our race
bow in alteration. Who is this man,
who, in the minds Of so many. is so
closely associated with the name of
God, and from whom they derive the
knowledge of the one Eternal Being
We hear their answer that he is a pro-
phet. The answer that Christendom
often returns is that he is an impostor,
spiritual juggler who palms off his
shams as realities. Toquote the words
of modern writer, "a large part OF
the world has been subject to false
religion If this meant that there
was much of error in the creed of Ma
homet, no one would uestion thee
statement; but if it meant that there
was no truth in his system, then the
falsehood lay in the assertion and not
in the religion. 1t was not because
Mahomet was skillful impostor, but
because he brought God nearer to men
that he was received as leader and
teacher by his people. There is ne
defence for the son of the desert; and
yet after we see the work he accom-.
plished we shall say, with the devout.

phet of Cod" Not the noblest of them

And, in addition, and perhaps far in
advance Of every other consideration,
is the warm and cordial welcome which
the citizens of lower Maryland are pre-
pared to give those who come to her
hospitable shores, with the view of
making permanent home.
Our citizens are fast recovering from
the lethargy of slavery, are anxious to
take their rank among the industrious
and enterprising of the land, and will
extend the hand of fellowship to all
such, come whence they may.

yet one to whom his Lord impaired a
message of truth for his people, and
who so inspired those about him with
a mighty enthusiasm. Three defects
in Mahometanism insure its ultimate
decay. First, its ultimate fatalism;
second. its sensual and degrading idea
of the future life; third, its want of
principle of expansion and growth
But with all its defects Mahometanism
was an advance for the people of Ara
bia from their former condition, and
we owe to it debt Of gratitude for
preserving to us during the centuries
in which Europe was sunk in barbar
ism the literature and science of Il
former age.

The hird-like voice, whose joyous tones

Sings now an everlasting song

He bears il 10 that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.

President, addressed to Mrs. Bouligny, stating
Congress, and the large amount Of business
which necessarily required his attention during
the last days of Q session, made 1t impossible for
him to accompany the excursion.
On the conclusion Of Gov. Foote'S address Miss
Storey read beautiful poem, written for the

one of unusual merit, and was read by Miss
Storey With force and pathos that we have rarely
