289 - L. Oct. 13; ed:2/2 - If the constitution, framed at Annapolis, is
adopted, it places Maryland alongside of the free states of the North.
It prohibits slavery, and compensates masters whose slaves are made free
by the Constitution; it prohibits lotteries and provides that no person
who has assisted the Rebellion shall hold office, or vote, unless par-
doned by a two-thirds vote of the members of the assembly. "It is a
vigorously and wisely framed constitution, and will bring Maryland into
the fold of Free States." (3)
