An Arrival,

On Friday last the schr. VIM. II. Northrop, Captain
James Jennet arrived here in 81 days Euthera,
ono of the Bahama Islands The Northrop brings fruit
and her run home shows that she sails fast and is well
adapted to the fruit trade for which she has been fitted
out here by joint stock party association She did
not bring much fruit this trip it is still too early in
the season. and her first trip was rather experimental
than otherwise She leaves again in the early part Of
next week for another cargo Of fruit
We notice this arrival particularly because Of
the fact that the little schooner is sort Of experimental
venture by party because Capt Jennett belongs here
and is said to be capital seaman and further because
we trust she will succeed and keep us well supplied with
good fruit.

On Saturday morning considerable excitement was
created at Harrsbui g, Pa, by Deputy U. b Marshal
jenkins arrestng colored man under the fugitive slave
law. The arrest was made in the market place, and
the fugitive who is said to be from Virginia was taken
to Philadelphia to appear before o. s. Commissioner
Longstreth. The Philadelphia Bulletin, of Saturday
afternoon, says:
The alleged fugitive upon his arrival in the city, was
taken to the Office of the q. S. Commissioner at Fifth
and Chestnut Streets where we saw him this afternoon
with his wrists encased in handouts He told US that
five years of age and that he has been living at Harris
burg for nine years past where he employed at fence
making Upon being questioned concerning his domes-
tic relations he said with tears in his eyes, that he had
a wife living at Harrisburg that he had had two chill
dren, the last OF wfom buried yesterday week. He
said that he had many friends at Harrisburg and that
if he could have been tried there instead of being brought
so far from home he could have been able to prove his
right to liberty but at great distance from home
and among strangers he had no chance.
He states that he was arrested while attending mar
ket at halfpas six o'clock this morning. pretence that
be had committed some crime. The officers who made
the arrest say that there was disposition to the
fugitive, and for that reason handouts were put upon
him at Harrisburg The gives were removed in the
and again put upon him after their arrival in Phil
adelpha.
1t understood that the alleged fugitive claimed by
party in Virginia, who say that he escaped from bond
age six years ago. Daniel upon the other hand declares
that if be Harrisburg he could prove that he haG
lived there nine years. He is good looking stawar

We have referred frequently to the Opposition to the
Democratic party renarkng, at the time that it
did, indeed appear to have lost all positive character
and to have really merged itself into simple opposition
to Democracy. These remarks however, regarded
something in the light of charges against our opponents
who repudaed the anomalous position thus assigned to
them 1t remained for the present in Virginia
to present the spectacle of candidates running simply
Opposition candidates.
Under the Editorial head of the Petersburg (Va.)
Itehgecer we find boldly displayed the line Opposi
ton Ticket followed by the names of candidates for
Governor, Lieut.. Governor and Attorney General.
1t is certainly strange that any organization should
pretend to be based simply upon Opposition" 1t can
not be otherwise than humiliatng to the older members

reoiced in the name of Wing to be dwinded down tc
