Young gentletoen who take apon them

newsjjapers, by Reason of inexperience !
Bometimes find themselm in a desperate
strait for want of a subject to splurge ,
This must have been the case
withopr youngfriend of the Huntingdon
Union, ‘last., week/ who, for want of some
more tangible, pitches into the Bail
Bead Company, because a matter of al
mQst absolute necessity compels them to
run several trains of cars through the
- ~ i
guiot village. of Huntingdon on.the Sab
bath.-Of course ]he says nothing about
the Furnaces in his county, whose hoarse
puffs are borne to iknany an altar by every
Sftbhath breejse—toh ! no—it is only the
Bail Eoad Company that fells under the
him ttP-'bisf terribl|j thunder,
whose ox is gored, so long as it is not
the Huntingdon ox, eh ? If it is a ne
ceshfcy to .work furnaces on Sunday, the
of would entail serious
lossupon the how does the editor
knowbut what - necessity may
exist for running la certain number of
trains on .the ltwell known
fhqt that few BailJ&ml ComjlanieaiQ the
Union do leaswork on the Sabbath than
the Pennsylvania. Bail Bond Company,
haying always restricted their Sabbath
hhor to such an amount as would protect
them ificoin absblkte loss. If they had
any desire to make money on the Sabbath;
they might readily run 01/ their passengeir
trains on that day, as many Bail Boad
.Companies do, without any interference
what custom, has evidently made a
whether it be right or wrong. . T7e

a Bhort time since we were in one of

nad wait until the noise of the running hid died

This is remarkable—this thing of
‘toharging & man with being a servant of

havenoother meansof procuring bread
for his family than* obeying the wishes of

upon us, but all do not keep it
TOly who sit within the portals of a
Church on Sunday—and many who give
.outward semblance of a holy day

neighbors during the week, than listen to

difficult to convince persons of taste that

For the Tribdht.
Tbe Question.
Messbb. Editoeb Much has been said late
ly concerning the admission of Negroes into the
common schopla of.oor town, ,and we think the
: whole affair has been rather an unsound itisiilu
tion. The negro of the North is not a alavs in
that sense of the word commonly used iu the
' South, yet in i multitudeof cases even in those
; communities that extend‘their arms for the pro
tection of the slave of the .South, in those com
munities we say,' the negroes are far worse than
slavCflT 'Mr. ’Paley, in "his Moral Philosophy,
pages 158-9, says: “ Slavery may, consistently
with the law of nations, arise from three causes,
namely, .from crimes, captivity and debt.” In
! the lnstilutes of Justinian, 1, 3 and 4, slaves
- are said to become such in three ways: “By
captivity iu war, by birth, when the mother was
t A slave; and by the voluntary sale of himself as
a slave, by a freeman above the age of twenty,
; for the sake of sharing the price.’' ' Blackstone
.examines all these causes of slavery according
to the civil law, and pronounces their founda
tions extremely unsound, and he insists that the
institution of slavery is repugnant to reason and
natorallaw. ’Tie true that the civil law admit*,
.ted it to be contrary to natural fight, although
it was in accordance, or in other words, conform'
able to the usages of nations. When the ever
memorable Declaration was penned, its author,
well knew, felt it in his heart, and without any
hesitation or mental reservation, committed it
to the paper before him, “ that all men were
horn free and equal, that they"are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, that among these are life, liber
ty and the pursuit of happiness,” and these
truths Were held to be “ Self Evident” That
the equality hero spoken of is not of the means
1 °f happiness, bat in the right to use them as wo
will, is too evident to require any illustration.
The most important means of happiness, we
think, which the Creator has placed in the pow
er of the individual, are. Am' ownpcrson t hisprop*
his chciTiicicr, and his reputation, But do
not suppose my reader, that we intend to couch
all we have to say with regard to the four
nieans alluded to above, in this article. Not at
all; a volume might be written, indeed, paper
smd patience would fail but argument still bo
abundant. But the first viz: “ his own person"
properly belongs to the subject now before us
for consideration, and if we thought our remarks
insignificant as they appear in our sight, would
command the attention of the intelligent yet
bigoted slaveholders of the South or his advo
cates of the North, we would consider ourselves
amply rewarded. But enough of this, and to
our subject.
Some authdf has remarked, and correctly too,
“ that every human being is, by bis constitu
tion, a separate and distinct, and complete sys
tern, adapted to all the purposes of self govern
ment, ahd segaralely,.to bTs.Creator
S9K the maanerin .which lie employs powers.”

ha* imposed certain laws upon men to use these
powers, if he will be governed by these laws,
then and not until tiiep will the Creator hold
him guiltless. So long as be makes use of them

has a right to use them, in the most unlimited
sense, at his own discretion, so far a* his fellow
is concerned. His will ishis sufficient and ul

for thus conducting 'himself than his own free
choice for ho doing. He is still responsible ty
his Creator within this limit, bat within this
limit he is not responsible to man, nor is man
responsible to him. Every man has a right to
do as he provided it does not interfere
with the rights of bis fellow man. He has a
rivht to use tIA jbod|y ashe willprovided Jug
uslngit doeS-ROtifiteifero With the rights pf big
neighbors. And the point to which we want to"
arrive at, to sain it into tv few words, is,-that no
man has a right to do-with another individaal
as he pleases, provided that individaal is in pos
session of the shine right This right belongs
to oil rational beings, ne they of what color you
please. All human beings ore, descendants of on*
grand parent, and if we would argue that the
negro is a descendant not of oar first parents;
let me ask whdjour frst parents were, if the
color is to draw this great distinction, and it
does, and there is a marked difference between
the negro and There is also a marked
difference between our first parents, (Adam and
Eve) and ourselves, apd themwe may ask with
propriety who wore opr first parents. Bat it is
freely admitted;- £hat tVe are the descendants of
a son of Noah, and algo that the negroes are de
scendants of a certainother son of Noah. Such
vhelng the case we are] descendants of one pa
rent. Now should any one advance the doc
trine (and there ore many) that the negro is not
a rational being, then the parent musthaye
been irrational:; but'his grand parent was our
grand parent, then wp must be irrational; such
a coarse of reasoning resolves itself into an ab
surd concluaioh, for ?we are rational beings.—
Then if such he the c|se, our parents must have
been rational, but we and the negro and all
other races, are descendants of one grand'pa
rent, then all races are rational. This is correct,
very few will deny the premises. If such be
true, why not grant to our fellow-being,
not all our rights, but part, we mean a cultiva
tion of the mind, _ Why refuse him this grand
blessing ? This is a, question we cannot solve.

and protracted' attack of Fever and Ague, and was com
pletely restored to health by the use of the Liver Pills alone.
These Pills unquestionably possess great tonic properties,
and can bo taken with decided advantage for many disea
ses requiring invigorating remedies; but the Liver Pills
stand pre-eminent as a means of restoring a disorganized
Liver to .healthy action; hence the great celebrity they
have attained. The numerous formidable diseases arising
from a diseased Liver, which so long baffled the skill of
the most eminent physicians of thy United States, are now
rendered easy of cure, thanks to the study and perseverance
of the distinguished physician whoso name this great med
icine bears—a name which will descend to posterity as one
deserving of gratitude. This invaluable medicine should
always bo kept within reach; and on the appearance of the
earliest symptoms. of diseased Liver, it can be safely and
usefully administered.
Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. M’Lane’s
Celebrated Liver Pills, manufactured by Fleming Bros, of
Pittsburgh, Pa. There are other Pills purporting to he
Liver Pills, now before the public. Dr. M'Lane's genuine

This is a purely vegetable compound, prep*red;«u*trictiy
scientific principles, after the planner of the celebrated
Holland Professor, Boerhare: Because of Its great success
in the most of the Kuropean States, its introduction iota
the United States was Intended more especially for those
of our fatherland scattered here»nnd there on r the fees ol
this mighty with great snccf«* among
them, I now offer it to the American public, knowing that
its truly wonderful medical virtues must be acknowledged.
It is particularly recommended to those whose
constituHohs may have been impaired by the continuoua
use of ardent spirits, or other forms of disaipatiph.. Gene
rally instantaneous in effect, it finds its way directly to th#
seat of life, thrilling and, quickening every nerve, raising
up the drooping spirit, and, in fact, infusing qew hearth
and vigor in the system. ] , ;
C AUTION.—The great popularity of this delightftil rv
ma has-induced many imitations, which the.pnblic ahonU-'
guard against purchasing. Be not persuaded to buy any
thing else until you have given Boerliafie’s Holland Bitter,
a fair trial. One bottle will convince ’you how ihfiuiUlyi
superior it is to nil those imitations. i ' , ,
