We acknowledge that John Brown was no

was not the sense es murder by an ipso
rant, depraved villain, who imbrue' bit
bands in human gore for "thirty same of
silver"—but, just a fares be ma removed

And we go farther and say, Hat just so far

we are told by =other class, that while
Brown's aele wets wrong, the ohjeot be

had proved nuiesand it would have been
right; but as it did not., it tiiistnang—
sowertheltwo. the projector is entitled to
sympathy, and this memory fe everlasting
remembrance. Now we deny squarely this
whole theory: We deny that any. matt,
net a rattan of 'Virginia, can hive any
=cal right to interfere with the, relation
between a alas is Virginia and that slave's
master, even if he could do it without any
peril to likaself or others, when his inter
nam= is entirely unsolicited by either
party to that relation. It would not be
digicult to show that even if interference
were desired by either master or slave,
or both, the interference would not ne
essearily be right. But as no stick case
has doomed, we need not consider it. The
red awe that has happened is one of an
interference completely unasked by either
the deva or their imam There is not
the smallest evidence, or any thing that
looks like evidence, that a eingiei slave in
Virginia wished for Newts or any body else
to come and take him from the State.—
Sawa meted wholly upon the pmelnaption
—Woe, as the feats turned out—that the
slaves would *looms him se a deliverer ;
or else be acted upon the prenuatices

=wee the rightfkljudp whether their con
dition would be bettered by being carried

Now it is very easy far people to ally that
there is no *teethe to be mode as to wheth
er a human tam would prefer freedom or
shivery. and that therefore Arum d* no
wrong, so fir as barometer that the dem
desired his or somebody's interference,
But the answer to all this is, that the pre

Tee Quinones SaTTLID.—It will be recol
lected that the street railroad cars and
other public conveyances, having been
stopped from muting in Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, through the operation of the
law of Pennsylvania forbidding servile la
bor on Sunday, it was decided by Mayor
Weaver, of the latter city, that c servant
was liable, under the above law, Kite drove
his employer to church, and that several
parties were actually tined $25 under this
decision. In the case of James Nesbit, one
of the convicted, Chief hotline Lowrie, of
the Supreme Court has just decided that
thw interpretation of the law by the Mayor,
was contrary to the views always enter
tained, and not in seconiance with com
mon sense. In relation to the lawfulness
of Neabit's art, Judge Lowrie said :
Since the settlement of the country we
have had sabetantially the Nome law on the
suktiect ; and under it this sort of act has
always been deemed lawfid, as ischown by
the fact that it has always been practise d,
and that Its lawfulnees has never been
queetitped. And surely the uniform prao-
Um' interpretation of a law for near two
centuries, is an argument that it is worth
more than two hours of refined criticism
and analysis of its phraseology. It is the
expression of the common sense of the
country, and therefore thearsument which
common Dense most readily appreciates.
The decision of the Mayor must be revers
ed.
So, so, according to this learned Judge,
if a weary pedestrian gives a man fifty
cents to drive him to church, the said
man knot engaged in worldly employment
—but if the same weary poyiestrian jives
the conductor of a street railway a half
dims to take him half a mile to see his
mother it may be, the said conductor it
guilty of pursuing worldly employment
on the Sabbath, and hence is liable to be
fined. Well, well ; great is the mystery of
the law !
A COUJUDDI MACILMAW STRAXIM-1600
Monday evening, the propeller Milwaukee
and schooner J. H. Tiffany collided in the
straits of Mackinaw. Both vessels sunk
lapPetil/ABOAPltehaiNeilMeirefe Wei
to Detroit by the steamer Free State.
The schooner J. H. Tiffany was owned
N. Mesas. Baldwin & Johnson, of Oswego;
Y. She was a first clam vessel, of three
hundred and seventy-one tons burthen;
and but threeyears old. She was worth
between $15,000 and $lB,OOO, and was in 4
sured for $6,000 in the Northwestern In=
'mance Company, of Oswego, N. Y. Her
cargo consisted of three hundred and six
ty-four tons of railioad iron, which was
consigned in Chicago. It was billy insured.
The schooner is sunk in fifteen or sixteen
fathoms water.
It is extremely questionable whether
either of the yawls can be raised, or any
part of their carires recovered. The Mil
waukee is the third propeller recently lost
by the American transportation Company,
none of which were Insured. The Oriental,
which went on the rocks near where the
Milwaukee now lies, and went to pieces,
was the first, which was quickly Mllowed
by the explosion of the Ohio off Long Point
on Lake Erie.
