The /" Good Example %

We have frequently referred to the influence
exerted on the mind of the fugitive slaves, in
the Northern States, by the consequence at
tached to their reclamation by the white SYM
pathizerss Even in the few cases of reclamation,
the value Of the slave is thus impaired, and the
effect Of bis return more injurious than bene-
fetal at home. The Savannah Ne,os, In re-
fefring 10 the return Of SIMS 10 that city, says
Sims, the fugitive, arrived here on Saturday,
in the brig Acorn, from Boston, in charge Of the
United States officers.
His manners have not been at all improved,
we are told, by his late associations; and If what
we hear Of his insolent bearing be true, little
wholesome chastisement would do him no harm !;
while il would have salutary effect upon those
Of his class who are likely to be Influenced by
his example, and the notoriety he has acquired"

Wl It seems from the Presidents proclama-
ton, that there is foundation for the rumors
lately prevalent, of movements in this country
to promote a revolution in Cuba.
Cuba is governed by military despotism,
and is subject to enormous exactons for its sup
port Yet, the white population of Cuba is pro-
badly the most wealthy and prosperous of all
that live urder European government. 1t de-
monstrates the immense vigor of slave institu-
tons. And according to the notions of Southern
submissionists, the people Of Cuba, since they
have plenty to live or, stree oppression has not
become intolersble, ought to preserve the go-
rious Union under which they live.
With the internal affairs Of Cuba, however,
we have nothing to do. And we regret and op.
pose any intsfsrenco with them by any of oer
people And we have no right TO intermeddle
with them. We have a treaty of amity aid
friendship with Spain, and we of the South, we
should think, have seen and felt enough Of the
mischief Of violated compacts and impertinent
ihterferences, to abstain from them ourselves.

The UsroS PLATFORM IN ALABAMA.-The
following is the platform of the Union party in
Alabama. II will be seen that IL differs from
the secessionist creed more in regard TO the rem.
edy than in reference to the alleged wrong:
The Union party have thrown their banner,
with the following description, TO the breeze,
and around it they invite ALL to rally who are
the friends Of the SAFETY, PROPERTY and HAP.
PTsEss OF THE PEOPLE Of the Union.
That whilst we acquiesce in the euactments
Of the late session Of Congress, and feel strong
attachment andveneration for the Union, estab.
lished by our forefathers, still we declare that
violations Of our rights may occur which would
amount 10 intolerable expressions, and would
juLtify a resort to measures Of resistance
amongst which are the following:
]. Theinterfereuc by congressional legislation
with the institution of slavery in the States
2. Interference in the trade 10 slaves between
the States
8. The abolition by Congress Of slavery in the
District Of Columbia.
4. The refusal by Congress 10 admit a new
State into the Ouion on the ground of her tole-
rating slavery within her limits.
s. The passage Of any law BY Congress pro-
hibiting slavery IN any Of the territories.
g. The repeal Of the Fugitive slave law, or
the refusal by the general government 10 en-
force the constitutional provisions for the reca-
nation Of fugitive slaves. But that we are now
and at all times opposed 70 any agitation, by
conventions or otherwise, Of these questions, re-
serving the mode and measure Of redress until
such injury shall DO inflicted.

Slavery Justihsd-by a southerner. {"

Slavery Justifed-by Southerner."
. BY mere accident we have been prevented
from seeing before pamphlet, with the above
title, Of which we insert part to-day, and shall
give the balance tomorrow.
II was published originally, 1t seems, in Fred
ericksburg, (va.) but the authors name is not
given, nor are We acquainted with it.
The production is one of the very ablest which
have appeared during the present controversy
on slavery. tits clear, bold, frank, aud profound
1t presents a remarkably graphic and correct
statement of the actual condition of society, and
shows that domestic or social slavery prevails
everywhere. The writer has not been careful
enough in some of his expressions, and has not
made sufficient allowance for the operation of
religious and benevolent sentiments on both
kinds of slavery. But his main proposition is
substantially true--and that is, thst where do
nestle slavery prevails the laboring class is pre-
served; and where it does not, the laboring class
is more or less consumed.
Among the dreams of enthusiasts none have
become more prevalent, and yet none is more
illusory than the notion that institutions politi
cally free, can give liberty or comfort to those
who are morally infrm or perverted. The indo-
lent the imprndent, the incorporate, must, in the
struggle of life, fall before the active, cautious
and sagacious, and be extinguished this re-
suit is more prompt and inevitable in what are
called free countries, than in any others. In
slaveholding countries the improvident and i'm
beetle, are. protected against the consequences
Of their own inirmity, by those who have Pc
cuniary interest in preserving them.
The writer does notsuficiently recognize the
conditions and practicability of progress in both
states of society. Progress depends entirely on
moral qualities, and where these exist, they ele-
vate their possessors, whether persons, classes
or nations, irresistibly to power. Joseph passed
from servitude through prison to the control
of Egypt. Terence and Epictetus rose whilst
slaves, to philosophy and fame. True, indi-
yiduals will sometimes be sacrificed in the strife
Socrates received the hemlock, and Jesus Christ
the crucifx, yet in one case it was not from the
thirty tyrants, Lut from the just emancipated
populace Of Athens-in the other, it was not the
despo'ism Of Rome, but the bigotry of priests
and people.
