HEW AGRICULTPRUJ SETTLEMENT, TO ALL WANTING FARMS, A RARE OPPORTI"NIT Y IN A DELIGHTFUL AND HEALTHS CLIMATE 25 MILES SOUTH EAST OF P ILADELPH IA, ON THE CAM DEN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD, NEW JERSEY. An old estate con-isting ot several thousand m acres of productive soil has been divided into Farm of various sizes to suit the purchaser. A popula tion of some Fifteen Hundred , from various part; of the middle Slates and New England have settle there the past year, improved their places, ana raited excellent erupt. ihe price of the land is ui the low sum of from sl-5 to 8-i> per acre, t:n> soi of the best quality for the production o! Wheat Clover, Corn, Peach Grape, and \stt,i'drs. I'l IS CONSIDERED THE BEST FRUIT SO! L IN THE UNION. The place is perfectly secure Irort frosts —the destructive enemy of the farmer. Crop; of grain, grass and fruit ere now growing ar.d car be seen, fly examining the place itself, a correct judgment can be formed of the productiveness of tb land. The terms are made easy to secure the rapii improvement of the land,, which is on'iy sgld 101 actual improvement. The result has been, tba' within the past year, tome three hundred house* hav< been erected, two mills, one steam, four stores, soint forty vinyards and peach orchards, planted, and t Jarge number of other improvements, making its desirable and active place cf business. THE MARKET, ■as the reader may perceive from its location, is the BEST IN THE UNION, Products bringing doubie the price than in loc.v tion* away from the city, and more ti.an double the price in the West. It is known that the eailies and best fruitsand vegetables in this latitude com from New Jeisey, and are anuualiy exported to'.hr extent of millions. In locating here, the settler has many advantages He is within a few hours ride i the great cities ol New England and Middle couutry where every im prevalent of comfort end civilization it at hand.— He can buy every art,tie he wants at toe cheap -si price, an I sell bis produce for the highest, (in the West this is reversed.) he has schools for his chil dren, divine service, and will enjoy en op-n winter, and delightful climate, where fe# are utterly un known. The result of the charge upon those from the north, has generally been to restore them to an excellent sta'e of health. In the way of bui' Itrg and improving, lumber c?.n bs obtained at the m lis at the rate < • >lO t i 515 per thousand. Cricks from the brick yar.-i -pened in the place, every article can bs proc .red in the place; good carpenters are at hand, and !h*re i* no place in the Union where buildings and nn provemen's car. he made cheaper. The reader will at once be struck with the advantages here preset.ted, and ask himself why th property has not been taken up before. The reason is, it was never thrown in the market;and utiles ti'.ese statements were correct, no one would be in vited to examine the laud before purchasing. This all are expected to do. They will sei! lard undei cultivation, such is the extent of the settlement that they will no doubt, meet persons from their owr neighborhood ; they will witne-s the improvement l ! and can judge the character ot the population, il they come witn a view lo settle, they should come prepared to stay a day or two and be ready to pur chase, as locations cannot be held on refusal.

JHV MOTHER'S GRAVE EV GEORGE D. PRENTICE. The trembling dew drops fall Upon the shutting flowers—like souls at rest, The stars shine g'oriously, anj all Save me is blest. Mother! I love thy grave! The \ iolet, with its blossoms blue and mild Wa-cs o'er thy head—when shall it wave Above thy child. Tis a sweet flower—yet must Its bright leaves to the corning tempest bow Dear mother, 'tis thy emblem 1 dust Is on the brow. And 1 could love to die— To leaveuntasted, life's dark, bitter streams £y thee, as erst in childhood, lie, And share thy dreams. And must 1 linger here, To stain the plumage of my sinless years, And mourn the hopes to childhood dear, With bitter tears? Ay must 1 linger here, A ior.ely branch upon a blasted tree, \V ;,ose frail leaf, grown untimely sere, Went down with thee ? Oft from life's withered bower, In stil communion with the past, 1 turn And muse upon the only flower In memory's urn. An i when the evening pale Eows like a mourner on the dim blue ware, 1 stray to hear the night winds wail Around thy grave. v ~! ere is thy spirit flown 1 I gaze above—thy look is imaged there ; 1 listen, and thy gentle tone Is on the air. O come—wlrfle here I press, My brow upon thy grave—and in those mil 1 And thrillirg tones of tenderness, Liless, bless thy child! Yes, bless thy weeping child, And o'er thy urn, religion's holiest shrir.e— Oh. give thy spirit pure and undaflled, To blend with mine. TH" GREAT ur;ioif DEiicusTHATiorj at BOS TON. Speeches of Uou.

'•* Chairman.— [ now present t > the audi ence one oi our most patriotic fellow-citizens, whose vvb !e life lias been devoted to the ser vice oi ins country, i.j the promotion of its se curity, prosperity and honor—the Hon. El ward Everett. [Loud and long applaus l , fol lowed by nine cneer-.] Mr. Everett then in his u-iual strain of eloquence, proceeded to ad dress the immense audience, refening to the fact that be find withdrawn altogether from pol itics ; having found a more congenial, and. as he thought, a more useful occupation in seek ing to raily the allections of nis countrymen North and South to that great name [and pre cious memory which is felt almost alone oi nli the numerous kindly associations which once bound tlie different sections of the country to gether. [Applause.] The value of the Union and the danger ot its dissolution were discanted upon at length., and th" opinion expressed that we are on the very verge of a convu Ton which will shake the Union io its foundation; and that a Sew more s'eps forward, in the di rectinn in which affairs have moved for a few years past, will bring us to the catastro phe. Mr. Everett next proceeded to point out the enormity of J diti Brown's Harper's Ferry raid, and the terrible consequences that would have ensued had he been successful. The peopie of the North who treated the affair with levity, did so from a want of reflection as to the terri ble consequences. To talk of the pikes and ri fles not being intended for offensive purposes, is simply absurd. [.Applause ] Ufie* first act a!- mo-t cd the party was to shoot down a free col ored man, whom they were attempting to im press, ami who fled from them. One might as well say that the rillt d orcr.a.nce ol Louis Napo leon was intended only for self-defence, to tie used only in cast-the Austrian* should under take to arrest his marrli. [Loud applause.] No, sir, it was an attempt to do on a vust scale what was done in St. Domingo in 17!) J, where the colored population was about equal to that of Virginia ; and if any one would firm a dis tinct idea what such an operation is, let him see it not a* a matter of vague conception—a crude project—in the mind of a heated tana'.ic, but as it.stands in the soher pages of history, that record of revolt in thit island ; the mid night burnings, tfie wholesale massacres, the merciless tortures, the abominations not to be named by Christian lips in the heating of < hris tian ears—some of which, are 100 unuttera bly atrocious for tiie English language, are of necessity veiled in the obscurity of the Latin tongue.

I'here are between three and four millions oil the cohred race scattered through the Southern and Southwestern States, in small groups, in | cities, towns, villages, and in larg-r bodies on I isolated plantations ; in the house, the 1 ictory and the field : mingled together with the dom inant race in the various pursuits of life ; tip | latter amounting in th-aggregate to eiglp o ; nine millions it 1 lightly recollect the numbers. Upon this community, thus composed, it was the design of llr.nvn to let loose the hell-bounds ot a s-rvile insutrection, and to bring on a strng i ifl** wbicii, lor magnitude, atrocity and horror would have stood alone m the history ol the . worid. And these eight or nine millions, against whom this frightful war was levied,are our fel low-citizens, entitled with us to the protection ! ol that compact of government, which recogni | zes tlleir relation to the colored rare—a compact I which every sworn officer of the Union or oi the Sta'es is bound by his oath to support ! A inorig them, s.r, is a fur proportion of m m am 1 women of education and culture—of moral en J ( religious lives and characters—virtuous fillers, mat hers, s >o>, arid daughters: person suii > would adorn any station of society in any conntrv— men who read the same Bible that we do, and in the name of tli same master knee} at th ' krone of the same God—forming a class of rvn 1: J'Ti wfiicn have g me l nth some of the gr* at an pu est characters which adorn our his ' —U tt>:::ngl Jr-.T-rson, Madison, M >nrae Marshall. These are tiie men, the women, tor whose iiosufjts, jukes and rilh's are manufactured in New England, to lie placed in the hands of an ignorant subject race, supposed, most wryag fully, as recent events have shown, u. he waiting only far a good opportunity toi use them. Sir, 1 have on three or four different r-ca sions in early life and more receniiy, visittjj ail the Southern and Southwestern States with trie exception of Arkansas and Alabama. I have enjoyed the hospitality of the city and the country ; I have had the privilege before crowded and favoring audiences to noi.l up the character oi the father ol bis country, and to in culcate the blessings ol the Union m the same precise terms in which I have done it here at home and in the other portions of the Ja-,d. I have bum admitted to lite confidence .1 the-io mestic fircle, and I have seen there touching manifestations of the kindest feelings by which that circle, in all its members Ir'■:h and low, master and servant, can be hound together : and when I contemplate the horror that would 1 ave ensued uad t!:-. tragedy on which the cur- j tain rose at llarpeCs be-, keen acted ut, i through all its scenes c,t lire an j sword, r.f lust and murd -r, of rapine and desolation, to tlie ii- l p.a! catastrophe. lam filled with e;n ti is to whir n no words can do justice.

The colo-! red population of St. Domingo amounted to but j little short of half a million, while the white.- j amounted to o'j,COb. fhe white population of the Southern States alone, in the aggregate, j outnumbers the colored tace in the ratio of two I ,o one; in the Union at large in the ratio of I seven to one, and if ( which Heaven avert) they ! should be brought into copflict, it could end on- j Iv in tlie extermination oi the latter after scenes j of woe tor winch language n ioo hunt, and for j which tb liveliest faucy has no adequate una- i ges of hoi ror. Such being lire case, some one m.iv ask why ' does not the South fortify heiselt again>t the ; posstble occurrence of such a catastrophe, by , doing aiviy with the one great sou.ee from whien alone it can spring ?

I meant to have said a word of the navy of the United States, and the rich inheri tance uf its common glories.—Shall we give up this ? The memory of our Fathers—of those happy clays when the men of the North and Soutb stood together lor the country, on hard fought fields: when the South sent tier Wash ington to .Massachusetts, and Mew England sent her Green to Carolina—is all this forgot te: ?

Immediately after the conclusion oi the Hon. Edward Everett's emphatic and eloquent de nunciation of every tendency to disunion, the immense assembly broke i'oith into the most rapturous and vehement applause.—Mine vo ciferous cheers were given (or the honorable gentleman, followed by the clapping of hands, waving of hats and handkerchiefs, and every demons! rat it ion that a sincere people could give of satisfaction and delight. Jtr:. cus II ixc's SPEECH. The chairman came forward and said that he would have the honor of introducing to the meeting another of the most eminent citizens of the United States—a man who was entitled to tne confidence and honor of every citizen of .Massachusetts, and of the whole count!v, in Consequence of the great services he had ren dered to the State and the nation at large. Mr. Gushing was received w ,;h deafening ap i'lause, and proceeded to make a most power ful speech. We have room only for the lui low mg extracts : Who denies that John Brown was guilty? Aho says he did riot undertake invasion and perpetrated? Who says that he did not med itate tieason and endeavor to perpeliate it? YY ho sava that he did not slav unarmed and in offensive men in the streets of Harper's Ferry? Mo man denies this. All that " said and done, in regard to t!.a ! , is to assume that those acts of atrocious and ferocious felony—tiiat these w ere not meritorious acts. I say, then, all honor to theStaleof Virginia—[applause and cheers for V >rginia]— ] say all honor to the Stale of \ ir giitia, to her judicial authorities, and to her ex ecutive authorities. All honor to the Slate of V irginia, that this traitor and muiderer—appre hended m the very act of iiis treason and mur d> r—[applause]—that this traitor and muider er w-iis duly, fully, lawfully tried and convic ted according to the law of the land —not alone in tae State ol \ irginia, hut of every one of the Mates of the Union.

Extenuation ! In the first place, gentlemen, what extenuation ? We have been t told that John Brown was maddened to perform these acts by the sense of the wiong committed on him, in the violent death of one of his sons in Kansas, and that i.; to extenuate his acts. Is it so? Fellow-citizens, we live here a populous community, with all the securities of lit* and peace around us, under the shelter not only of (be laws, but in our relations as fellow-citizens. But go with me to one of those fertile ol the far West—go with n.e to the frontier cabin of the pioneer settlers of the far West ; we ate in the d-ail of night. In the dead of'the night, the husband reposing i. the beloved arms ol Ins wile, with their dear little children a round tne.n, in the laiicied i t- of their com mon s -cunty under trie laws ot their country, they are aroused from their slumbers by the treacherous approach ol armed murdeiers.

And by (he lurid light ol those blazing houses, and by the demoniac cruelty oi that man on that occasion, by all Ukwt, we have the key to events which other wise might have been a mysterv. I'hat was the coinmencement of bloodshed in these United States, and it was in that same spu.i tnat John Brown, with an insane feroci ty ot ctueity, proposed to ravage the peaceable' inhabitants of the State u f Virginia, and mil lions ujion millions ot white men, ave, and of whi'e women,loo, by 3ervile insurrection and c.vi! war, and by outrages indescribable, impossi ble to imagine— worse even than a million of neat!.s. ho much f>r that pretence ol extenua tion.
