It' IS CONSIDERED THE BEST FRUIT EOIL IN THE UNION. The place i- perfectly secure irom frosts the destructive enemy of the fanner. Crops of grain, grass and frutf are now growing and can be seen. By examining the place itself, a correct judgment can be formed of the productiveness o: the Jand. The terms are made vary to secure tb- rapid improvement of the land,, which is only sold for actual improvement. Ihe result has been, that within the past year, some three hundred /Vomer have been erected, two mills, one steam, four stores, some forty vinyards and peac.n orchards, planted, and a large number of other improvements, making it a desirable and active place of business. THE MARKET, as the reader may perceive from its location, is the BEST IN THE UNION, P Products bringing double the p r ice than in loca tions away from the city, and more than double the price in the West. It is known that the earliest and best fruits and vegetables in this latitude come from New Jersey, anil arc annually exported to the extent of millions. In locating here, the settler has many advantages. He is within a few hours rids <m the great cities of New England and Mid !!e country •/:- re every im provement of comfort ami civili eat' -,n is at 'rand.— He can bay every article he wants r.t the cheapest price,an' sell bis pre ace ; r the h: : .is., (in Vv< West this is reversed,i h I. ■ • sckoe's.iur Lis el Ureti. divine sei s- , ti; '■ w; • enjoy an open winter, and deiightiul climate, h M 1 fever* arc utterly un known.

The reader will at owe be struck with the advantages her" presented, and ask hitnsf , f why the property has not bepn taken up before. The reason is, it was never thrown in the market; and unless these statements were correct, no one would b- in vited to examine the land bciore purcha-mg. I his ml are expected to do.

Cjld-spr.'.vc, Sept. Stb, 1559. ■ ■ I THE BRITISH .IBOLTTIOJVISTS NOMI NATE MR. SEWARD FOR TEE PRESIDENCY. Ve publish below a remarkable article from the London Doily .Tews, the organ of the Exeter Hal! Abolitionists, and the faithful chronicler ol the proceedings of anti-slavery tea parties in the provincial towns of England, in which Mr. William H. Seward is formally nominated by the aforesaid British abolitionists, as their candidate for the next presidency ofthe United States. The .Yews makes no conceal ment of the causes to which the New York j senator is to attribute this distinction. He '-has afforded every possible evidence in his own i country'of his absolute and hearty condennaton . ol tire institutions ot the South, which are in- j compatible with th- liberties of the Republic i at large, and which threaten its existence and, therefore, he is entitled to the sympathy ami support of the British abolitionists ♦•in the; objects to which he is pledged." As the jYeirs does not furnish "the evidence" to which it alludes in such laudatory language, we take leave to supply the omission by copy ing the following extract from Mr. Seward's famous speech at Rochester, N. i'., in Hie month of October, 185S : "Our system of government is 'a war of antagonistic systems,' a conflict between slave labor and free labor,' and 'it is a mistake to j think lire collision accidental, unnecessary, oi interested fanatical agitators.' 'lt is an irrepressible conflict between opposing and en during forces, and it means that the United States must and will,sooner or later, become either entirely a siavebolding nation or entirely a free-labor nation. Either the cotton and rice fields of South Carolina and the sugar plantations ol Lousiana will ultimately be settled by free labor, and Charleston and .few Orleans become marts for legitimate merchan dise, or the rye and wheat fields of iVlassachu settss and New York must again be surrendered by their farmers to slave culture and to the production of slaves, and Boston and New York become once more markets lor trade in the bodies and souls of men." There is such an evident affinity between the above sentiments and those expressed in the JYeies, that we are convinced the editor of that paper could not have written a3 he did without a personal understanding with and by the consent of the New York senator ; and we therefore hold and hope the American people will hold Mr. Se-.vard responsible for that article. No American who has a single snark of patriotism can read the article without feeling? of indignation at its arrogant interference in American affairs, and the manifest concord that it manifests as existing between the abolition ists of this country and those of Great Britain to a severance of the Union for the profit of British capitalists. Mr. Seward cerlainly sold himsell to this infamous combina tion. Until now we were at a loss to explain Mr. Seward's sudden visit to Eugiand. It is apparent ; and we may confidently expect the free use of British gold in the next presiden tial election lor the purpose of compassing the vilianous purpose which he and the British abolilionists have in view. BEDFORD, FA. FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 16,1839. a fruitful theme for comment anJ rytf'ection, We shaSi recur to it alien.

[from rhe Lot.don News.] j It is probable that no man in London—or let ' us say R, foreign* r in London —is more deeply t interested in the appointments ol the new min istry than Mr. Seward, at present so often met in society here. Jt is understood that Mr. St w ard is to be the free-sot! candidate for the preji dentship of the United States, and prpoabiy tfs first anti-slaVery Presi' -*nt. This-is Mlucieat iy well known, eve believe, to save him irorn tue danger to which many American gentlemen ar ■ subject, of leaving this couotiy without having obtained any c!euf idea of what our feelings are aafiut those jxwyers which, in the face ol Itve most salemn,■engagements, keen up the slaw; trade. Mr/Seward bas'aiFordifd every possible, , evidence 4n Ins own Comiifv of i ts absolute 1 and hearty condemnation of the institutions ot the Sofith, which/are incotnpati le with the liberties ot the Kpubiic at large, and whicii j fTuejtteu its exfofence. There is no occasion to consider hi 3 filings, as in the case ot an un known mart whom it would be inhospitable to remincToFthe faults ol his country. He has; shown that his patriotism consists tn desiring and striving for the freedom, virtue, peace and happiness of his nation ; and that, in pursuing those objects, he is as hearty a:i enemy ol ia very and the slave t; aJ * as any man ol any otliiT country can he. Let him, then, hear wf.at we think and f* - f. L-t bira have our sympathy in the objects to which he is pledged i —whether as President or only as senator ; and above all, let him have sound leason lor hoping that our r.ew Foreigu Secretary will work cor dially with an American President or minister who will do his duty i:i regard to the African slave trade, and also fio d to strict account ant. otiicial who tampers with the obligations to' which the American government is sworn.— Lord John Russell made an ineffaceable impres sion on the minus ol all American ci. izens du ring the short term of his being Foreign Sec retary, in 1853, by his letter to Mr. Everett on the Monroe doctrine, if the statesman who wrote tfiat letter should be in our foreign Of fice, with the same mind and spirit in him, when the first anSy-si3very President goes to the White., House, tin history of the African slave trad-' wijl he brought to a speedy close. In the hope of some such beneficial conjunction of authori ty and of views, we (eel tfiat this is the time to say a few words as to the present aspect ol the great question which must be decided, in some way or other, by the next election, wheth er the new President be Mr. Seward or anoth er. Not a few citizens in America, nearly a!; men elsewhere, are dismayed and confounded at the re-opening ot the African slave-trade at various points of the southern States. There are lying before us now, advertisements of the sale of gangs of newly-imported negroes, as weli as the remarkable declaration of the grand jury in Captain (Torre's case at Savannah, alluded to by our own correspondent in the letter wo publish ed on the 21st ultimo. We have abundance of reports of the meetings of southern conventions and other party assemblages, in which the mem bers avow their purpose of imposing slave in stitutions oy law on the whole federal republic —extending the Dred Scott deci-:oi> over the Union, in defiance or the refusal of any num ber of the States. We see ail this going on ; but we do not, therefore, , eiieve that the pros pects of liberty for whites mi 1 lacks are les favorable than they were, but quite the contra ry. The action of li? slave Slates, in their present turbulence, is simpiv ievolutionary; .ma the act of some ot them ie-.-.pening the African slave trade seems t > '■ • intended a® a rev .lu tionary manifesto. Tue election of ISGO will probably decide the* fate of that traffic, and of die institution which occasions the trailic, as far as the American Government is implicated in j it. Ti;es-* demonstrations are met by counter de monstrations io th? North, which the South de nounces as revolutionary also—and with justice if there is a real Federal Government at Wash ington. The* resistance to the fugitive slave law spread's and deepens. The Ohio story is a . good sample of what u going on less conspicu ously and on a smaller scale elsewhere—citi zens ot respectability and eminence fined and imprisoned for ch using to ascertain the legal rights of captured fugitives ; arid the captors lodged in jail, oti the othferpiand, on the charge :of kidnapping free citizens ; the federal and ! State courts pissing opposite decision-, and their respective ofaciais battling vehemently on be haif ol each : these are phenomena which show to all eyes that present 'arrangements cannot continue to exist. All rational men are aware that the inevitable change must involve the fun damental radical principles on which the south ern polity is grounded. The Chinches present a spectacle anaiagous to that of the law courts; and so do the anniversary meetings ol ail the bodies—religious, philanthropic, political and commercial—bv which the social interests of the nation are carried on. We have no sp3ce Langremarks on the demonstrations ol all these gatherings, though a few paragraphs owjyld show that a revolutionary spirit has this year j animated them all, though working in different j directions. We can notice only one associa j tion : and we select it on account ol the ease with which Englishmen will co:nprehend # its sig nificance. When the attempt was made to force the stamp act on the American colonies, and the I "stamp-master" who had obtained that appoint* Freedom cf Tfiouglit and Opinion. 1 merit, refused th? request of several cities and ' towns to resign his office, it became a question C how to concur at rate- public sentiment so as to oh j tain some effectual action. The association of "The Sons of Liberty" was formed in 1770: j and under their v ydance the fiist gieat revolu ' tioa proceeded 'to it s memorable issue. Their ; first act was to cut batons from the I ir**st trees . i on the road by vvjWii the stamp-master was t > pass to the ourts, a.i i to him that they j were the government and not the King at \Vest ! minster.

It may seem i safe to taN- a stand on so plain a constitutional ; provision, declared in the very terms of the Constitution, and sustained by lb* laws of Oriio, but, as Mr. Eucbana i's government and tit" whole policy of the Sou til enf;>rcs an opposite principle and method, the "Sons of Liberty" are revolutionary now as their predecessors were—no more and no le,---. Mr. Seward c -mes among us wh m both sections of his countrymen i u ,- e not only preparing far revolution but actti ' ally engaged in it, and h * may be the man whom his f-lSow-citizens may choose to be the exponent of the principle which Europe be ii res will triumph. Let him s°v that vve have a faith and ir a* on the subject. BiSLING, TEiS 'SE\Y YOUK 1)15. Tiie Boston Port's account of this man gives but a faint picture of him.
