YOU Of mel. and things in the Monumental City
To every heart imbued with the least portion OF
philanthropy the present aspect OF things IN Balti-
more must be highly cheering; q complete reyolu-
ton in public opinion is being happily effected.
Some weeks ago the question will the abolition
OF Slavery in Maryland tend TO the prosperity OF
the State p was proposed IN debating society
composed Of highly intelligent men, While ne
negatirs are not deficient IN ingenuity and great
tact iti acknowledged that the GBTmdilre have
employed an amount OF incontrovertible argument
thai has thrown lood,of light on this hitherto one
sided question Maryland To such an extent is The
public mind excited that the dsccssion. by common
has been adjourned from day 10 day and Is
likely 10 continue for several weeks


On last sabbath morning. for the hrst time attended
the Methods, Church, OF Charles and fayeiie

Mathew 9Th chapter 18th verse generally termed the
Golden Rnlf = never dd watchman the tower more

ability and as a mstter Of course his services were in

from New. York " but Monday last no little astoHsh
meni was created in city on seeing announced IN the
dAi!y papers by the President OF the Marion Society
