A FUGITIVE SLAVE RETURNED TO
FtaurnA.--The
. Hyanxis (Mass.) Mes
senger of yesterday, says that the brig
Roleson, Captain Orlando, came into that
port on Sunday, the Bth inst., with a fu
aitive slave on board. The slave had
secreted lanself on board the brig at Pen
sacola, and' did not show himself until the
vessel had' xen several days out, when he
was forced' to do so by hUnger. The brig
put into Ifyannis with the man in irons,
for the purpose of telegraphing to the U.
S. Marshal at Boston, to be in readiness
to take ch'arge of him on the arrival of
the brig at that city. . The schooner Eliz-
aceth 8., Captain Bacon ' then lying - in
port, was chartered for 8500 to carry the
slave to Norfolk, Virginia. Captain. B
acon agreed to have him sent thence to.
Pensacola. The schooner sailed accord- 1
ingly on Monday morning last, before the
fads became publicly known--the slave
beingehained to the eapstan.7--Exekange.
We cylinder how much that "nigger"
would. be worth 'after he is safe back to
the hands of his "good old 'nesse," and
t.i4).op......'added to his value before he
left. ' few more such slaves wonld, in
our opinion, go a great ways toward the
conversion of that owner to the side of
emancipation. .
INDusTuv.r—Tail is the price of sleep
and appetite, of health -and enjoyment.,
The very necessity which overcomes our
natural sloth, is a blessing. The world
does not contain a brier or a thorn that
divine Mercy could have spared. •We
are happier with the Sterility which we
can overcome by industry, than eve could
be . with the most spontaneous and• un
bounded profusion. The body and the i
mind are improved by the toil that fit
tignes them; that toil is a thousand times
rewarded by the pleasure it bestows. Is
enjoyments are peculiar; no wealth can
purchase them, no insolence touch them.
They only flow frutu the ezertiou which
they repay.

KENTUCKY.—The campaign was open
ed in Kentucky, last week, at Lebanon,
where the two candidates for Governor
met stud addressed the peoPle. Bell,
Opposition candidate, took the most ultra
pro-slavery ground. He took up these
two questions: Ist, has Congress the
donstitationat power - to"protect slavery tits
the Territories ? 2d, Ought congress to interfere to protect Southern, prop4rty
slaves in the Territories?--and answered
both squarely •in the ojiirnig . tiee;,..aaterting
that it was the bonntlen dutfof COngress
to , protect, _not only agAinst any Mutual
prohibition, but against any 4 ' unfriendly,
legislation" on the parti of, :Territorial•

Letcher- and Gor„tin, the two 'eatidi

both trying to see which can be the• hot

From these we learn; first, that lip fra
ternizing with the Opposition atthe . South
the, Republicans of, the North will be
compelled to surrender. their• most vital '
principles; and secondly, that it will be
utterly impossible for consistent northern
men to support either, BottS, Bates, l John
Bell, or Crittenden; inasMuch as i Botts
is represented by Goggin; in Virginia,l
Crittenden by . Bell in RentuokY, John
Bell by Netherland in:, Tennessee; while'
Bates of Missonii, is .so unfortunate as to
be unacceptable either North or South,
having declaresk!that the question of such-I
vital imPortanee to both sections, is not'
worthy of his consideration. We are sure
that the masses' of the Republicans at the
North cannot he'" fooled into a 'Union' ".
with any such men 'as Goggin, " Bell or
Netherland—though the influence of the
Tr/Zane may be enlisted in their kehalf.
We have always had preEminent re-'
spect for the opinions of the -T ibu nc,.and
look to its columns fora great share of the
political'and general information we glean I
from the,newspapers ; but 'we have also
opinions of our own upon leading ques
tions of politics, which differ with the
teachings of the Tribune, and which we
believe are more correct as tending to ele
rate the standard of Republican pnnei
ples. We believe. that the Tribune is
wrong in attempting to convert our party
and its name into a, mere opposition to
effect a temporaryparty success, in order
to do which it being, necessary to quash
a leading and cardinal principle.. There
fore, we honestly and earnestly differ with
the Tribune. Every sincere, Republican
will at once see the correctness of our
position when he has given--.the matter at
issue a careful examination; and that it
is better to be defeated for lack of nu
merical strength than to be successful at
the expense of living principles. We are
honestly convicted that if the North would
be successful in 1860, it can only be by
a strict adherence to the principles laid
down in the Resolutions of 1856.
In oonolusioa r vVe J would ask a question
or two of our conservative friends : Why
do we lab.or,so hard to build up a funda-
mental principle in the intervals of Prosi . -
dealt& campaigns, and yet when the con
test really comes, why are sonic so willing
to surrender their three or four years' la
bor-to the demands of party and individual
expediency ? What reason haie Repub
licans to fear the direct 'expression of we
masses upon the issue of Slavery-extension ?
In our opinion; every effort to utlite Free
dom with Slavery for Oxpedienoy s• sake,
injures the cthiso of the former, : and builds
up the latter. •
