He effect Us to ?Kte, own pre sume, and closed bis masterly effort by politely intimating that wo would fall Bhortp£w!d§i^ make the. acquaintance of a near relative of bisy called f into, when we “ shuffle off ibis mortal coil.” All right, Mr. Union, of Course you will be on hand to intro duce us to his majesty when we meet. But to the subject. The Union starts out with the assertion that we “ justify .the continued desecration of the Sabbath by the {Railroad Company.” This is in correct. Wc merely called the attention of the e,ditor of the Union to the fact that there are other Sabbath desecrators besides the Railroad Company, about whom he has said nothing, and expressed the opin ion that if it be necessary to work Fur naces on the Sabbath to prevent loss to their owners, the Railroad Company was justifiable in running a certain number of trains on the same day for the same rca nm Am) joutif]/ the working of Furnaces on. the SabWl*— **itbxn -cue running of Railway trains. We believe both tp'be entirely wrong, and far be it from us to attempt to justify that which is contrary to both moral and civil law. The intention of our article was not to justify tbe Bailroad Company in the act complained of by the Union , but to show that there were others equally deserving of its censure, about which it had said nothing. Therefore we say that the Union has been battering at a man of straw man ufactured by wilfully misconstruing our remarks, as we feel persuaded that no man who possesses an ordinary amount of per spicuity, and is impartailj can construe our former article into/anything like a justifi cation of the desecration of the Sabbath by the Bailroad Company, Furnace owners, or any one else. But, the editor nf the Union says he has uo disposition to open a controversy with/fis. Verily, we think he should not have, if he cannot discover the difference our article and one justifying the desecration of the Sabbafh, or cannot maintain ,themontroversy without pervert ing the plain intent and meaning of our remarks. If such be his character we de sire no words with him. The insinuation that,we justify the Bail road Company in doing that .of which the Union complains, because, forsooth, we do a little job printing for it, is nothing more than we might expect from one who, to hold his position, is compelled to play x seoond-fiddle to a borough Postmaster. — Such men always judge others by them selves, and the public judge them in turn. The Bailroad Company demands of us the work of our bauds, not out private politi cal and moral principles, as do the control lers, of tbe Union , of its nominal editor. Disastrous SliipwrccK. The steamship Indian, from Liverpool, loaded with 200 tuns of halo goods, 100 tons of iron and a lot pf coal, and carrying 38 passengers and a crew of over 70, struck -a reef id the vicinity of Cape llace, on Monday morning week, and became a to- 1 -tal wreck. From the statements of some of tbo crew and passengers, it is .evident that nothing of the kind was apprehended. The sea was calm and the ship sailing at the rate of about eight knots per hour. As' soon as it was known that the vessel was wrecked, every efiort wasmade to save the lives .of the passengers and crew.— Three of the seven boats belonging to the ship were stove and rendered useless in letting them down to the water. The remaining four were filled, and two of them it is thought .reached the shore in safety. One drifted out into the sea and it is not known Whether it has been picked up or not. Up to Monday evening last, twehty seven; persons were supposed t#have been lost. The mails on hoard the ship were saved.

Supposing we ail possessed the absolute and un controllable power-of doing as we please, wbat would be the condition of society? The conse quence would be we would have no security in any of the enjoyments of life, aud a savage race would inhabit the earth. But it may be said that iiwlhe cpjnmencemcnt of the world, God gave to over all the earth: aud over the fish of the sea, aud over the fowls of the air, and over every living thing that movefh upon the earth,” and that while the earth re mained bate of inhabitants, that all was in com mon among men, and that,every one took to j) iin sal f frjui the pnlilio olook for his onu use, just as his necessities demanded - it, and yet bar barities did not prevail. This is all very true, and had mankind remained in a state of prime val simplicity, the same rules aud regulations would still exist, no doubt, aud uo doubt nian fully believed what he wrote when he ex pressed himself ‘‘Ei-ant omnia commuuia et indi visa omnibus, v-zhUi unnni cunoiis patrimonium cs&t.” But do not suppose me to say that this communion of things appear ever to have been applicable—for, by the law of nature and rea son, he who first obtained the us# of it acquired in it a kind of transient property, which lasted as long as he was using it and no longer, or in other words, th 6 right - of possession continued for the same time that the act of possession lasted. As mankind increased it became ne cessary that men should obtain the substance of the thing and not the immediate use of it, aud iu this manner permanency was obtained, tu mults were kept down and every man could say of his own, “it is mine.” It became necessary that he should obtain the absolute rights therein, ■ 'For the Tribune. LETTER KO. 2. so far as it is not retained by society ; to this he yielded, and the results are known to all men. Let us apply what wc have said to the' slave-holder and slave. The master claims to have a right in the body of tho slave—this right I 3 claims by purchase, just as we claim tho right in any article of personal property by purchase, he claims by the laws of the country a right to hold property—the'laws guarantee to him this righ ; but tho laws do not guarantee to the slave this right. Therefore, by the laws of the slave States the slave-holder enjoys his privilege, and is he not acting p accordance with the laws ? But I argue that all rational beings are entitled to the same rights—that tho negro is a rational being is denied by a few, bnt those few are not such authors as wo can credit—their reasoning is false—they lote to engage in the trade of buying and selling negroes, and since they are directly interested, they are not good evidence in the case, but wo must set them aside ; and invariably before they get through with their case, for fear of being criminated, they are com pelled to enter a nolle prosegui, ns 1 the lawyers say—and should a capias bo issued for them the Officer will return it non est inventus. They hold property, but thoir property dare not bo a pos sessor, no, because they suppose all rights exist in them. They have forgotten that they are dependent beings. They dare not acknowledge •this, else they would find themselves in a posi tion which would be unpleasant. But, Messrs. Editors, enough has been said, as an introduction to the subject I am about to discuss, viz.: Was John Brown justified in his efforts to liberate the slaves of the South? In my next T will enter upon tho subject. I have endeavored to show that the negro is net treated according to reason, however well he may bo used in the South, that ho is rational, and there fore entitled to hold property—if so, then no one can hold biotas property. I now'propose to show that Brown’s design, was laudable, but his effort erroneous. SIGNIA. Importast to AtC.—On next Saturday, D e * cembor 3d,, Messrs.

From ac tions ik themselves, considered unimportant, to deeds of greatest consequence, it is manifested in almost every case, the great moving cause. Its influence may 1 bo almost imperceptible' but its action is unmistakable; All are alike sub-' ject to its magic influence, arid from its captiva ting power none are free. We imitate the good from emulation, and the evil from the depravity lof our nature. This aptness; to imitate, like I every other principle of our npture, is found to | exist in degrees, modified by 'a variety of cir cumstances. While all are sqbject to its power, it doesMiotcqUally- control every individual.— This is partly attributable to tho infinite variety of dispositions and habits of mind. this, wo find iu the.history pf every one ah in cessant change—a tendency to become less in fluenced as the mind becomesi more fully devel oped, and reason gains its ! truepositlon. The clearest manifestations of this force are discov erable in tho earlier periods of life, when it is productive of results, which, independent of the tendency to imitate would scarce bo attainable by any other means. Then it is that the exam ple of others arouse a spirit of emulation, and the afdcnt aspirant from a thirst for glory is led to clamber up the arduous ascent of Fame’s mount, until tho burning zeal is crowned with success upon ambition’s height. „ "Upon > tho other hand if innate depravity gain the ascen dency, the example of others maj’ lead to degradation's depths. Viewed in this light it may justly be regarded as an agent of great power in the formation of character. In pur social relations, wo partake of the prevailing spirit and manner, and continue submissive to the force of examples presented by others, un til by the repetition of their examples, nabit fixes principles which are not less variable than | tho implanted, original principles of our nature. 0.
