SLAVERY IN MARYLAND.
Wo have briefly noticed the startling fact men?
tioned by our Ituliiiilore correspondent that tbo tuna)
trade was being carried on in Maryland by the judi?
cial and executive officers of that State, under the pre?
tended authority of the Maryland Code, ami in alleged
accordance with the National Constitution. Advortise
nicuts announcing the t-tilo, for a term of year?, in pir
auanc* of the ?ciituiicc ?>f a Court and the authority ?>r*
a sheriff, will excite a feeling of som? thing moro than
surprise in the breasts of hundreds of thottundl, who
for more than a year have been accustomed to thank
God that Slavery in America bad been <i>n.-t;tutioii
ally alsolishcd. They believed that th'y bad I;..! la
see the day s?> long prayed Vor, when in his ??_. tward
course over our ocean-girt I'cp'iblic the siui DO longer
roso upon a master nor set upon a .lave. Hut hern ??
anew and hideous vision of auction blinks in front of
Conrt?Hou??'s, for the salo at " slaves and other cat
"tie," with a shorill as nuetioueer, flourishing his
judicial record and pointing to the "Constitutional
" Amendment ttbolishing 8! ivery" ?is coufirming its
validit;,. Kren thoso who in the olden tuno had so
"conquered their prejudices" H to contend that Slavery
wai not a erin.?', mint frei that its unblushing i
at this moment and in this lunn is, to ttkj the 1? u?t, a
blunder.
The rosponsibility for the existence of th:t iinom i!r,
which tonds to make us contemptible in tim eye? ot
the world and despicable in mir own, re ti primarily
with UM Caagn ? which, in pro^-cding to amend the
( 'onstitution for the abolition of Slavery, and mtcnilin?.'
that abrdition to 'io total ?Vid final, neglected to Ml
words that indicated dmr intention. K?mest
suggestion?) to this elie? t wer'! met by. the
reply that it would bo mon: historically
ting, and would exhibit a v. . IT. um
tinuoua ami uniform legi-lation to ti pt and
m? (irjiorntf) into the ('? nst.tution the identical pro?
hibition of Slavery framed by the Fulhers c4 the J{e
!? i'ili?. and embodied in UM ordinance ti '
. to " .i gn al {fortl Wiest, T<> the lodtdgenea
ol'thit- Seutinifciit, which we thought than, mu. winch
we still think, partook rather of ilk pedantry than of
sound s*ate"ii!i.n.*?h?p, is tin? ? o'intry nnl'M. A tor the
fact that American Slavery HTKI the ?lav . ad? ?iru
cHiried OL to-day under the tbtttal ol' th.it amend
ment. An ftbi.ii'.i'o pcoUMtion of Slavery, without
exception, would bavti pa.-d OM_gn ? and
have been ratified by UM p.-ople of
the ?States us readily and as cert.linly tv* the one w!?,? h
wari adopt '? and yet? in its placo w? have the
following ortiue,'authorizing and jottlfj ing Slavery in
a class of caee- which, ii U f: to the dcci-ion of tho
Rebel States, may be __ri__rgBd a?id extembil until
Shivery is made once moro their peculiar in.?titution:
"Art. XIII., ice. 1.-N'.'.her h'avory nor m
"Voljutary ?cnit ide, unpt at a pumshmint fur
"crane tehtreof tht party shall hare http duly con
"ricti?, ahall cxi?t withiu the lu.ted States
"or ouy place lubject to tboir jurisdiction."
Until some new amendment shall abolish this ex?
ception, servitude for crime will be permissible auder
the National Constitution; but what we have t?? do,
and what wa can do, ii to tee that it is inflicted as a
punishment onlj for crime and not for color. This '
subject may properly engage tho attention of Congress
under the lecood section of the Amendment, empower?
ing them to enforce the article by appropriate legisla?
tion. But the true remedy for this and other abuses
to which the blacks are subjected by State legislation
inspired by Slavery, is in exposition by the Supreme
Court of the United States of the true meaning and
effect of the Constitutional Amendment, in giving to
the Republic a National policy of equal freedom and
equal justice.
The allowinco by the Amendment of Slavery __. a
punishment for crime may seem to militate against
Uria view, but it should be remembered that, by tho
first article of the Constitution, apportioning repre?
sentatives and direct taxis, " purstms bound to service
"for a term of years'' were expreasly included among
" the number of free persons," and that it was not un?
common for the (Icrruan and other "redemptioners,"
as they were called, thui lo bind themaelres to a sort of
^lavery, ?to far as labor and obodienco were concerned,

scorn for the. opinion*- of futuro age?. It is a humili?
ating fact that there is not a government io the world
which has not occasionally done dishonest things. It
i? a fact cheering to the morali-tt that, in almost every
co-to, peccant nation? have been foreod to pay tho pen?
alty of their rnisdwds. Sooucr or later, in somo mo
mo?t of imminent emergency, the bad namo which
wa.? acquired willi tam indifforonce proves a source
ol oinharra-jt-niont if not of disaster. We were covetous,
for instance, of tho Provinto of Tcxa?., and to ?coure
it vrti went to wnr, upon the most frivolous pretences,
with Mexico. We knew, when wo anneied it, that
annexation was itself an act of war, and that what wo
wanted was not moro territory (?imply, but moro terri?
tory to bold flavos in. We como out of the fight suc
ccdsful, and what did wo care then for Ihe opiuion of
the Mexicans I No more than Antonio cared for the
opinion of hht l?.ck, upon tho Rialto. But the timo
carno whon the aSignor Antonio needed three thousand
ducats which Shylock had to lend, a* the timo has
now come when wa need, or think wonoed, opotontial

great man-the ipociait gr-im fellow?, who hardly wfa

of culture should be comprehi-uded in tho freshness
and hop "?fulness of tho first Mart, there would be len
time wasted in the beginning and fewer deficiencies
to be imbs.'otieiitly supplied. It ii the dull routine,
unalleviated by* too smallest tincture of entbnsi__.i.i,
which makes a amachine of the teoober and equally a
machine of the pi*p>., from the constant ccllteion of
which come cufts, ?UM! blows, and l>? atuig*, hatred of

on tho other, irritability ?ad passion, despotic govern?

one hand and you dangle a goM medal before hil eyes
with the other; and this is tho but introduc',en which
you can afford a fresh, unbackn*yc?l, eager natnro to
the flowery fluids of learning and of mental improve?
ment ! You make study dull, and then impute dull?
ness to the studoi.t; you make the temple of learning
a sort of House of Correction, and flog him if he play?
truant; you impose dreary tasks wito incongruos.,
penalties for their non-performance; and although tbii
child intrusted to your care is the father of the man or
the mother of the woman, you treat it with far lee?
discrimination than Mr. Rarey bestow? 1 upon hil
horses, and with leen skill than is exhibited in the
most approved methods of dog-breaking ! Yet natur?
ally boys and girls love knowledge as they love now
toys, it ii only when knowledge has been mad? dii
tasteful by blundering or pedantic treatises, and ita
acquisition, in 6omc sort, transferred into a penalty,
that tboy detest it. Does giving a medal or any other
pi i/o help the matter ? How can it, when the dona?
tion^! inevitably regarded as a compensation for
doing that which it should have been a pleasure to do
simply for its own sake T Wo are infamously incoa

thography, and naked arithmetic, enforcing each acqui?
sition by iutormitte-it flagellation; and on the 8ab

HESTERS' TREE-PLANTING.
Soutetbiug should be done to 6upply timbor for tho
future. The domand constantly increase?, and it
puzzles calculation to think bow great it will bo ?V>
yi ars hence. Sixty-six ti ados de-n-iid on wood, and
! could a substituto be found, mechanical industry must
' bo reorganized before it could bo used. Of every de
i scription of raw material modern civilization ii aa
enormous consumer. Our people are spreading over
tho face of the whole land, mid they destroy the tim?
' ber wherever they go. It is a great question how
i to preserve and renew our forests. Last Winter Con
' gre-s granted to a company in Kan.?as a large tmdy of
; ?and to plant with trees. Other companies wish granta
i for the same purpose, but it rs doubtful whether all
tho difliculties are foreseen. Tho question ii not
whether trees will grow, or even what kinds will, for
in Western regions, 50?? miles from chestnut foresta,
the chestnut tree, for instance, grows like corn. To
1 plant largely requires large sums. Tho ground mtn?t
! be cultivated, and for nearly twenty years there can b?
no returns. It is true a port may be in nursery, but
BCtlMMM are nothing new. Then the plantation most
' be fenced, and the best fence is the Usage orange;
i but thi?, too, for a timo, must be fenced for preserva?
i tion. To fonce 10 acres of prairie, when lumber ia
cheapest, will co?t ?f 10 an acre. To carry out th?
plan on a scale largo and varied, ?eems too great a
task for private mean?. At pr?tent, sufficient capital
for auch a purjx.se is very scarce, and tho work is left
entirely to the ?Uenoral Oovornment and to the State*.
These two great proprietors ?>wn most of the laud
whereon it is BMMMJy that we should protect agaiast
j the ax and torch of the pioneer a r?serve of timl?er
, for the future use of this rapidly growing country. To
j preserve what forest? wc have is not enough. We
I must reach the art by whi_h the crowded estates of
r the ??Id world have, in s comiderable measure, man?
aged to maintain their timber supply. The enactment
; of intelligent and practical laws by every State own?
i ing large timber lands would go far to save them from
exhaustion. _
A ROUT DAD FLOUR.
At the C?irn Exchange on Thursday, Dec. 13, Is*-*.,
sales of New-York Superfine Flour were report?? at
$7 l?ea $0 .'."i, fifteen cents per barrel more than tho
same description of flour was sold for tho day before,
? which p'-oves that bad flour can ri.?o in price, if it
I sinks into flinty "hard tack" whim baked for sailors
| and soldiers. The next ?imitation is $*J Wfll 30
1 fir .'sound extra State," which clearly shows that th?
former wa? unsound, and should have hOMt branded
bad. Four or live dilTerent kind? of extra are re?
ported, at various prices, from fH 40 to ft 16, enough
to ?er?le\ a Philadelphia lawyer to find out what
j extra means. It is not intemled by tho mixing niillera
that buyers of their villainous extras shall discover
their meaning until they have paid for tho flour.
H_M__M dealer or retailer ?ends a barrel of such
flour to a customer, tlio latter tries to use it, ami find?
ing the cheat, sends it back. The shrewd miller doo?
not put h:s narnu on the barrel, and as the aale ia
tiH.de through a broker, the purchaser, if he ha.? paid
, the bill, has no recourse to the concealed offender.
| 1 he dealer has been swindled, and mu?t bear the loas,
?or cheat some one else. Such ii tho Corn Exchange
of New-York, as represented by some of those who
there do ?'ongregate. The di ?graceful AM. still standi
? out on the rep??r* ol the market that New-York Super
l line flour is publicly sold for less than hal? the price ol
Southern flour.
I', it the Southern miller? are already taking Icuon?
ttmrnt the Now-Yoikors. Receivers of Southern flout
say that tho beat of the Southern flour is not sent
I here. The first ran of the mill is kept at home, and
i branded Family. '[Tie inferior is branded Extra and
sent to Now-York. Th?re is often a difference of fro?
? $1 to Sjf*. a barrel in the volue of the best Southern
! extras tiiaf come to thii market, and thus are we paid
. in our own coin. The grinding of unsoun?V wheat ia
defended by some persons on the grouud that moit of
I it goes abroad, and tha people of England arl BCCOI*
' tomed to such food, ai much of their grain como?
' from foreign countries and is generally more or lei*
i damaged on the voyage. Douce we are no won? thaa
mher shippen of J -d flour ard grain-no worse thaa
Greeks, Turka, Poies, and Busiians. It may be *oi it
? may be true, that our "rogues in grain" are no wor_sa
than European " rogues in grain," bnt it s?e_ni to bt?
a lovel application of the adage " to him that hath
shall be given." It would T>e more creditable to ui t?
be able, if in truth we could, to deny the fact, than to
defend tho practice on inch authority. .
When will the manufacturera of Europe turn thiir
attention to the e-stabliihmont of thai- workshops ia
: our Western Statei, and live upon ?he rich pro
| ductions of the toil then, fresh und free from
j deterioration by transportation to the leaboard, and
thence to Europa! Whan our Congraia sholl giva
