THE GAZETTE. The Emancipation Question. THE PARALYSING EFFECT OF SLA VERY. MARYLAND AND MASSACHUSETTS COMPARED. Hon. R- J Walker's Second Letter. The Hon. R. J. Walker, ex-United States Senator and Secretary of the Treas ury, devotes his second letter on the Eman cipation Question to the effect of slavery in retarding progress and population, and illustrates the subject by a comparison of the advance of Maryland and Massachu setts in these respects We repriut por tions of the latter: The census proves that our progress has been greatly retarded by slavery. If the North had retained, and the South abolished slavery, their relative positions would have been reversed ; V irginia would have taken the place of New York, Maryland of Massa chusetts, Delaware of Rhode Island, Ken tucky of Ohio, Missouri of Illinois, and Ten nessee of Indiana. I shall begin with Maryland, because in proportion to her area she has greater natu ral advantages than any one of the thirty four States, and if the comparison of the free States is most unfavorable to her, it will be more so as to any other Southern State, as the census shows that, from 1790 to IBGO, and from 1850 to 1860, the increase of popu lation in Maryland per square mile was great er than in any other slaveholding State. Maryland borders for 200 miles the great free Snito of Pennsylvania, and Delaware 1 -0 miles, whose slaves hits decreased from 3,887 in 1790, to 1,793 in 1860, and where slavery now exists in name only. Delaware (like Maryland) is also a loyal State, and would be the last to leave that Union, which it was her glory the first to enter, and by a unanimous vote under the Constitution of Irder'iDg Maryland on and has just voted, with great unanimity, 'to abi/Fisli slavery, and proposes to become a free State. Within the heart of Maryland stands this District, where slavery is now abolished, producing serious losses and embarrassments to the State. The two counties of Prince George and Montgomery, adjoining this District, contained 17,790 slaves in 1860, being more than any other two counties of Maryland, aud more than one-fifth of the slaves in the State. llow long can slavery endure, and of what value is it in these counties, where every slave brought or sent to the District is free, and where it is already seriously contended that the language of the Constitution, " Slaves in one Slate escaping into another," cannot ap ply to this District. Indeed, with the feeling so intensified already by this rebellion against slavery, it cannot long exist in Maryland.— By advancing legislation and public scnti ment the Fugitive Slave Law is becoming in operative, and slaves in Maryland are now heid by a more precarious t nure. I speak of the facts as they are, arid not as sanction ing aoy violation or evasion of the Constitu tion. Indeed, unforscen events, as this terri hie rebellion progresses, may sweep slavery from Maryland, without compensation or colonization. But, independent of present find future perils, it is proposed to prove, mainly by the census, that all the material interests of Maryland would be greatly promoted by her prompt acceptance of the offer of Congress. We must consider the area, soil, climate, mines, hydraulic power, location, shore line, •bays and the progress of wealth and popula iion in ail cases, except where expressly stated, the population includes slaves and free. The relative progress of Maryland has been slow, indeed. The total population of the Union, bv the census of 1700, was 3,929,- 827, of which Maryland, containing then 319.728, constituted a twelfth part (12 29. In 1860 the Union numbered 31,445,080. and Mary land 087,031, constituting then only a 45th part (45 76). In 1790 the free States numbered 1,968,455, Maryland's population then being equal only to one sixth (6 12), but in 1860 the population of the free States was 18,920,078, Maryland's number then being equal only to one twenty-seventh part (27 52). But if Maryland had increased as rapidly from 1790 to 1850 as the whole Union, her proportion one twelfth part, would have made her numbers in 1860 2,620,315, and if her proportional increase had equalled that of the free States, her ratio, one sixth, would have made her population in 1860 3,153,392. From her small area (seven States being smaller), she would not have reached either of these results, but, before closing these let ters, it will be proved that, in the absence of slavery, her population in 1860 would have been at least 1,755,661,0r thesameper square mile as Massachusetts and Baltimore, hear ing the same ratio to this number as to Mary land's present population, would have con tained in 1860 542,000, instead of 212,000, her present number. I take the areas from the ahle report (No vember 29, I860,) ot the Hon. Joseph S. Wilson, then the commissioner of the General Land Office, where these areas are for the first time accurately given by actual admeas urement " excluding the water surface." — The population is taken from the census, the tables of 1850 and 1860 being compiled with great ability by the present Superintendent, the Hon. J. C. G. Kennedy. I compare first Massachusetts and Maryland, because they are the maritime and old States, and both in 1790 had nearly the same population; but as ahown hereafter, with vastly superior natural advantages in favor of Maryland. Area of Maryland 11,124 square miles, sdiore line, by tables of United States Coast Survey, viz: —main shore, including bays, sounds, &c., 503 miles; islands 298; rivers to the head of tidewater 535—total 1,336 miies. Area of Massachusetts, 7,800 square miles, shore line by tables of United States Coast Survey, viz:—main shore, including hays, sounds, &c., 435 miles, islands, 259, rivers to head of tidewater, 70; total, 764 miles. When we mark the Potomac and its tributaries, the lower Susquehanna, the deep and numerous streams of the Chesapeake, the commercial advantages of Maryland over Massachusetts are vast indeed. Looking at the open shore of Maryland, and also at the Cesapeake Bay, |he largest and finest estuary in the world, indented with numerous sounds and navaga hie inlets, three-fourths of its length for both shores being within Maryland, and compare this deep and tranquil and protected basin almost one continuous harbor, with the rock bound coast of Massachusetts, lashed bv the stormy Atlantic, the superiority of Maryland is striking. Mortality in Maryland, by the late census, ow from tho of June, 1859 to 31st of May, 1860, 7,370 persons. Same t>me in Massachusetts, 21,304. making the ratio of deaths to the number living in Maryland, one to every 93 (93 20). and in Massachusetts one to every 5i (57 78), and the percentage of deaths in Maryland 1.06. and in Massachu setts 1.73. This rate of mortality for Mas sachusetts is confirmed by the late official re port of their Secretary of State to the Legis lature. As to area, then, Maryland exceeds Mas sachusetts 43 per cent, as to the shore line, that of Maryland is nearly double that ol Massachusetts, having 63 mi'es more of main shore, bays and sounds, 38 miles more for islands, and nearly eight times the number of miles for rivers to head of tidewater. As to climate, that of Maryland, we have seen, is far the most salubrious. This is a vast advan tage, not only in augmentel wealth and nuui bers, from fewer deaths, but also as attract ing capital and emigration. This milder and more salubrious climate gives to Maryland longer periods for sowing, working and har vesting crops, a more genial sun, larger pro ducts, and better and longer crop seasons, great advantages for stock, especially in win' ter, decreased consumption of fuel, a greater period for the use of hydraulic power, and of canals and navigable streams. Ibe area Maryland fit fi>r profitable cult ure is more than double that of Massachus etts, the soil much more fertile, its mines of coal and imp, with the fluxes all adjacent, rich and inexhaustible, whereas Massachus etts has no coal, and no valuable mines of iron or fluxes. When we reflect that coal and iron arc the great elements of modern progress, ami build up mighty empires, this advantage of Maryland over Massachusetts is aim ist incalculable. The hydraulic power of Maryland also greatly exceeds that of Mas sachusetts. Such are the vast natural advan tages of Maryland over Massachusetts. Now let u observe the results. Population of Maryland in 1790. 319.728; in 1800. 087,024 —increase, 307,300. Population of Massa ehusetts in 1790, 378,717 : in 1800, 1.231,005 increase. 852,315. Difference of increase in favor of Massachusetts, 485,048. Excess of Massacusetts over Maryland in 1790, 58,989, and in 1860,544,081. This result is amuz ing when we regard the far greater area of Maryland and other vast natural advantages. The population of Maryland in 1790 was 28 to the square mile (28.74), and in 1800 61 to the square mile 70), whereas Massaehu setts had 48 to the square mile in 1790 (48 55) and loT t<> the square mile in 1800 (157.82), llius Massacusetts had only 20 more to tiie square mile in 1790, and *9O more to the 1 square mile in 1800. I4ut if the areas of Maryland and Massa i ehusetts had been reversed, Massachusetts vyith the area of Maryland, and the popula tion of Massachusetts of 1800 to the square mile, would have numbered them 1,755,661, and Maryland, with the area of Massachu setts and the population of Maryland of 1860 to the square mile, would have had then a population of only 481,728 upon that basis, leaving Massachusetts in 1860 1,273,393 more people than Maryland. Thus is the asser tion in a former part of this letter now prov od, " that in the absence of slavery, the pop ulation of Maryland in 1860 would have'hen been at least 1,755,001, and Baltimore at least 542.000. ' Hut, in view of the many other natural advantages of Maryland, as shown in this letter viz : in climate ami salu brity. in shore line and navigable rivers, in fertility of soil ami hydraulic p >wer. in a more central location for trade with the whole Union, and especially with the Wist, and nearer supplies of cotton—and above all, in coal and iron, it is clear, in the absence of slavery, Maryland must have contained in I*oo a population of at least two millions.— By the census of li9o Massachusetts was the fourth in population of all the States, and Maryland the sixth, but in iB6O Mossachu setts was the seventh and Maryland the nine teenth, and if each of the thirty four States increases in the same ratio from 1800 to 1870, as from 1850 to 1860, Maryland will be only the twenty fifth State. These facts all conclusively attest the ter rible effects of slavery on Maryland, and is only one of the dreadful sacrifices she has made in retaining the institution. As to wealth, power, and intellectual development, the loss cannot he overstated. We shall give the conclusion of this convincing letter next week. LOCAL AFFAIRS.

RECRUITING. —The war spirit, which had been in a great measure destroyed by a set of politicians who think more of par ty than they do of their country, has re vived within the last week, and we should not be at all surprised to see Mifflin coun ty place two companies in the field instead of the one called for. Mr. Waream is ap proximating a full company, and Mr. Mo- Manigle can probably command at least fifty at this time, while others we hear of have squads sufficient to fill both. This afternoon the county commissioners will meet, when arrangements will probably be made with the citizens for paying a liberal bounty to each volunteer. Capt. Waream's company is to leave this morning, with, we believe, a full compli ment of names. W. Soult has been authorized to recruit for the celebrated Bucktail Rifle Brigade, and has opened an office next door to Mrs. Mary Marks drug store, East Mar ket street. This presents a fine opportu nity for entering into active service, and as the members will be entitled to all the bounties &c. offered by the government, is more desirable than any other corps. g£s,The weather has been extremely hot fqr several days. We have this year the heaviest wheat crop raised in this county in 15 years. I©-A party of Philadelphiaos, consis ting of Bev. T. DeWitt Talmadge, Cols. D. W. C. Moore, A. M. Spangler, Capt. John A.

Burns for the free use of his property as an encampment, and to the ladies and gentlemen of Lewistown and the region there about for the innumerable attentions bestowed upon us during our sojourn among the moun tains of Pennsylvania; that we will remember with the liveliest interest our visit to this beautiful and romantic region of countrv. Resolved, That our visit to the sabbath schools, prayer meetings and churches of this region has been highly edifying to our hearts, and given us an exalted idea of the morai and spiritual condition of this community. Resolved, That our thanks be extended to the editors of the ' Gazette" and "Democrat" for their good wishes and kindly expressions toward us. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be published in the newspapers of the bor ough. COL. MCCOY. —The 107 th regiment has unanimously called for the appointment of ( aptain J . F. McCoy, who has been en gaged in the Quartermaster's Department at llarrisburg since the commencment of the war, as their Colonel, and unless the Governor has already filled the post, we have no doubt he will be appointed. Capt. McCoy's services in Mexico endeared him to the privates as an officer whose feelings were deeply enlisted in their welfare, and should he be appointed the 107 th will have a commander who will rank second to none of that grade from this State, either as a soldier or a man. CAMP MEETINGS. —The United Breth ren will hold a camp meeting at Beaver Dam Mills, in Wayne township, on the premises of Samuel Withrow, Esq., com mencing on the 15th August, and the Methodists on the same ground, commenc ing ou the 29th.
