The !SiQre's uish.-An agent was SEM
TO this city some time since by southern
master, to find, if he could, his absconded
slave. A day or two ago the agent dis
covered his whereabouts, and Immediately
procured a warrant which was put into the
hands Of proper officer, and arrangements
made for its service and the apprehension
of the runaway. The usual opposition was
apprehended both from the slave and his
caste, and preparations were made either
to guard against or oyerawe 1t but whes
the time arrived, when the writ was served,
he hailed the officer as a dcliYerer-and
his arrest as a deliyory-not only from the
anxiety and doubt OF mind which had con
tinually haunted and oppressed him, but
from the state of want in which his tempo
rary, uncertain, and Illegal freedom had
plunged him. The poor fellow " lifted UP
his voice aud wept" with the extremity Of
JOY, and earnestly desired to be quickly ta

EXTRAORDINARY RECLAMATION.
A few days since, there was in the Sen
ate Of the United States, a most extraor-
binary recaRtatson by some prominent Sen
ators in the Administration ranks, Of many
Of the doctrines Of the party. Messrs.
Buchanan, Grundy, and King, Of Ala, de-

their party, that they are not and nerer

what have We heard repeatedly from the

culogy Of Specie currency" Mr.. Clay
proceeded TO express his regret that the
recantation was not generul--that the Sen
afors from Ohio aud North Carolina, and
the distinguished Senator from Missouri,
did not come out In the same way. He
hoped that since gentlemen had abandoned
so many Ct the doctrines connected with
the Sub-Treasury, they would go one step

"Pctticoat Allen. The Tory papers
arc still harping on the story, that the la.

Harrison red flannel potticoat." This
story originated in this way. Mr.. Allen,
the present Senator in Congress from Ohio,
first started the story in a speech, some
years ago. The ladies' of Chilcothe i'm

TIE CAMPAIGN DECuN

We learn-from a spectator, that Messrs.
Alorehead and Saunders, candidates for
Governor, met at Hillsborough, on Mon
day, (being Orange Superior Court and
addressed the people at great length, and
with unusual animation. Our informant
was not able TO giee very luminous &C.
count of the scene, but we gather from the
tenor of his remarks, that the discussion
was very heated, if not personal, aud was
not coniiaed TO the candidates. Judge
Saunders, il seems, in the course Of his
speech, alluded 10 the STAR" and partic-
ularly, in some way, to Mr.. McQueen's
connexion with it, in terms by no means
courteous or complimentary. Mr.. Nc
Queen, who attends that Court, being pre-
sent, replied to the Judge in language ex-
ceedngly severe and personal, and eXco-
rated him, 1t is said, TO the epidermis.--
The llilIsborough Recorder" we pre-
sumo, will furnish the particulars, which
shall be laid before our readers on Tues
day. Our informant is Saunders man,
but we venture the assertion, upon his own
admissions, that the Judge never before
had hold Of so Z" ugll a customer as Mr..
Morehead. 1t is very evident, from the
reluctant answers given to our numerous
enquiries, that the Wing Candidate made
I deep impression upon the large and very
attentive crowd. The speaking commence
ed about | O'Clock, p. NJ, and continued
until night. Thus has the political cam.
paign been fairly opened in the "OId
North" All that tic wings ask, or
would receive, is an open field and a fair
