future. The Governor further adds that,
under the vsun,ed Fugitive Slave Law. it
costs the owner, in some instances, over four
times the value Of The slave recovered, and
IN others il has cost the owner his life. The

Mr.. BARKER is a native of Charles county, and

That the important duties which will deyolve up-
on him in the responsible station to which he has

worked his own way, and by the unaided efforts
