FueIT1vEs FROM LABoUR. - Notwithstanding
the opposition which has attended the execution
of the Fugitive Slave Law in some of the free
States it appears that, after all, the citizens of
those States are likely to be the gamers by its
passage. Its provisions, by recent decision of
the U. S. Commissioner in New Haven, Con-
necticut. have been made to apply in the case of
runaway apprentices, who are deemed to be fu~
p,iyes from labour. AS the case is a novel one,
we shall proceed to state it.
About a week or so ago, three runaway aps
preptices were arrested in New Haven, Connec~
necticut, by their master, who caused them to
be brought before Charles 4. lngersoll, U. ,.
Commissioner The master (Mr. John Russell
of Westchester county, N. " alleged thar under
the laws of New York "the service or labour" OF
the persons arrested was due to him, and that
week or two prior to their arrest, they had Alb
seconded from that State into the State OF Connee-
lieut., where they had been found The nden-
lures entered into by the parties were produced,
by which it appeared they were bound to serve
Blr. Russell for terms varying from two TO four
years. These indentures were proved to have
been executed according to the laws OF New
York. and the identity of the persons fully estabe
hshed. After argument by counsel on both sides
the Commissioner remarked, that the facts of the
case being unquestioned. he had no doubt that
snprenticed servants, such as the ndenturcs
showed these persons to be by the laws of New
York, were within the puryiew of the constu-
tional provision requiring the surrender of"persons
held in service, on claim of the person to whom
such service was DUE" that the history Of that
article in the convention showed that persons
ssbouud in service" were contemplated by its fra
mers as within its requirements and that the
legislation and practice of the colonies before, as
well as the summary powers given to the master
to reclaim his apprentices by the State laws since
showed that the power now asked to be exercised
was neither novel in Legislation nor arbitrary in
its character and that, in the various disqusitions
upon this provision of the constitution, he had
never seen it questioned that white men as we'll
as black men, and servants for years as we'll as
servants for life, were within its objects and re-
ouirements A certificate was therefore given to
Mr.. Russell, in accordance with the fugitive act
of 1850, and under it the apprentices were carried
back to New York.
The New York Express thus relates another
reclamation, similar to the one described above.:
Another indebted white apprentice has been re-
manded from Boston to his master at Sing Sing, N.
Y under the authority Of the Fugitive Law. The
in this case e maker, and has been great
ly annoyed by apprentices getting insight into his
business and then running away and getting employ
ment from rival manufacturers He seeks the law to
obtain indemnify for The past and security for the fe-
ture The Fugitive" sent back in a very quiet
manner. There was no pAbe disturbance, at

of Mr.. Hunter, and seems to regard it as certain
that he will be reelected, because it says the

be no question as to the fact that the Wings have
