drawal of loans all over the country, in con-

anybody say that the prosperity when VIC

wholly, by Republican President and Senate

But if such far-reaching and terrible mis-
clief was avcrted, two years ago, only by
Republican power, who viii darc to inirust the

mouths of those who insist that the Southern
expectation of compensation for the slaves ex-
! lists only in the Imagination of Northern Re
puhlicans. That lively hope is shown not
only in petitions and claims sent up to Wash
mgton. but it is soldly inbcddcd in the Con
sti,ution of Maryland. This provides that the
General Assembly of Maryland shall not pass
any law providing for compensation by the
State for emancipated slaves. pht 'his SiSnlh
cant clause is added: "They shall adopt
such measures as they may deem cXpedlcpi
{" to obtain from the United States compcnsa-
| Z" ton for such slaves. and to receive ana DIS
| tribute the same eQultahly To the persons
entitled" The idea of being paid for their
| sllyes must have seemed an entirely practical
and proper one 10 the persons who framed
and approved this provision, and to the voters
| who voted for it. This Constitution was
adopted after the ratification of the NV ia
! Amendment, which seems to have had no
effect Whatever upon the confidence OF these

BTG ENTERPRISE.
How bombay Hook is About 10 Eie
Captured by the Dutch,

smyrna Tunes
We have before alluded 20 an effort or
proposition that was being made to pur
chase Bombay Hook Island and adjoining
land for colony of Hollanders or Low
Dutch, who are familiar with tide water
lands and know just how TO make them
valuable by dyking, &c. j. t. Budd land
agent for the Delaware railroad and Jones
Keiser, living on one of the tracts, have
been negotiating for the parties who reside
mainly in Pennsylvania, while others
are in Wisconsin and others in Holland.
The tract covers about l6 600 acres of
marsh and upland, mainly the former.
The following land owners met in this
town yesterday for the purpose OF coming
TO an agreement on the value and terms,
viz Hon. Joseph 2. Comegys, John Nj.
Voshell, John G. Bailey, Robert Rau9hlcy,
Charles H. Register, Anderson Ford, John
Mustard, Jesse Vane, Hon. j. A. Nicholson.
There are fifteen or twenty more land
owners the most of whom live in Pennsyl-
vania, whom Mr.. Budd will arrange with
at their homes. For the purpose of a
fuller meeting and to come to more def
mite results they adjourned to meet again
in this town on Thursday the S0th inst.
The tract as before stated, covers all OF
Bombay Hook except the upland at
Woodland Beach," belonging to
William Reybold, and the mainland
on both sides of old Duck Creek up
as far as the Iron Bridge, "Flemirg's
Landing down the new road
through the wooded land of John O. Bailey
themes taking the contemplated road to the
Bombay Hook road, along this road to the
Comegys' farm, Themes to Duck Greek and
down 1t TO Leipsic Creek. The design of
the purchasers, if the bargain can be efiec.
ted, is to divide it into 10 acre tracts which
would support 400 families In this event
old Duck Crek will be dyked, the stop
pings removed aud the stream made navi-
| gable. What else they would do remains
TO be seen, but it is just such land rs q
Hollander delights to revel in. We are
assured that the offer of fair price is
genuine, aud the parties stand ready with
S25, 900 to plank down as irst payment to
confirm the bargain. This piece OF land
as it now stands is OF but little value, and
with she exception of few farms on this
side OF the Old Creek, does not pay per
cent. worth counting. We do not know
what the purchaser are willing to pay or
! the land owners to take, but at fair price
say $l0O,000 the owner would be much
better compensated than at present, aud
there is no prospect of ever making it valu,
able unless taken in hand by colony ol
Hollanders. 1t is an enterprise that should
not be allowed to fall through by placing
nigh values o0 what must otherwise
remain valueless II would be no LITTLE
thing to the material prosperity of Duci
Creek hundred.
