lude .hr George W. Edwards, Em u who, et; the

held a p'esition of , great prominence and influence.
To him I was indebted for many enlarged views
and fur much detailed information of great value.
His as tb results washased on the Most
careful inveitigatiOn, and wittilhe clearest deduc
tions from experience (finishers. , Thus, his con
fidence miser quailed before any difficulties, even
if others,deemed them insurmountable. /Here I
may' remark that the estates* of tbe officers for
the cost of transportation, the importiint element
of value in such a railway, have -never beenl,ex•
ceeded, and these early statements are most re
markable for their accuracy:

of this, a quantity sufficient to produce snore than
ten millions of dollara was exported to our neigh
boring States. Where, let me utak, would Phila

financial position? Why, gentlemen, the total
amotitit Of specie.held by our city banks seldom ,
equals.s4,ooo,ooo: Stop your 4x ports Of coal for.
half a year, and what would be, the effect even eel
this city,? I will not pretend to demonstrate the
results. We may, perhaps, imagine them by com
parison. We well know th at when our neighbor
ing city of-New York becomes indebted to for
eigners to an 'extent beyond the semi-monthly re.
. ceipts of gold from Californi4 an immoderate
curtailment by the batiks follows, and consequent
ly an immoderate reduction in 'the value of prop.
erty:'We also kaowthat when .our banks bee , ~ sr
debtors to those elsewhere, and coin is largely.
mafided in m4ment, a similar policy must ensue.
But it Is ne part of.my design to &Unite to ques-.

'l3eb4lkill County Operators furnish for export
1 , ten milliens of dollars worth or coal, which must
•of neeeseify bei‘of - great importance in maintain
ing the • financial equilibria - al of our city'. Is
the. importance, of your
_position and business
duly appreciated? When you at ply to our Banks
for the usual facilites extended' to other general ,
loudness interests, do you receive your equal sham
of their accommodations? Dp the officers even
recognize the importance of 'yeur traffic? Do they
real ise 'that you must first invest a very large cap
ital in improvements at your mines, -must then
pay cash for' the whole value of your product' at
tipewater, and then sell all on credit? It is , welt
known that the importing business is conducted
generally by a. system ,of credits. The grocer,
the dry g s Jobber , and moist other merchants,
buy as well sell on , credit { Is this -difference

Again, I ask, do you receive I your proportion of

nation of the rectorship the Epiphany,
Philadelphia, holds each, Sabbath, at the re
quest of a portion of, biaformer congregation,
services in Natlintel Nall, Philadelphia. 1 , The af
fair which led to Mr. Tyng's resignation, has
caused' a serious split' In the Congregatinn,
thOttgh some difficulty existed'prevlour to the de !
, livery of Mr. Tyng's sermon on Slavery, and that
atidres4 was made the - pretext by his opponent's,
for urging his resignation". Ile has however,
with bile-the sympathy and' support of many of
the old 'and influential Epiphany members, and it
is proposed to build him a church in Philadelphia.
It is unfO , tunately, over thus the fate of every
thing withtwhich the question of Slavery conies
in conteet. - :.`iTt is aii evil blighting in its - nature 4
even to theiyery altar around which we es fellow
Christiens,-abould' gather, free
tie of the iicorltl- . zone taligion howeirer, It is a
v...—itms viand' concerns man's future as well as
present existence, and we would:bold that minis
ter recreant to his high trust, who ,entertaining
•„ .
sentiments to those so obi/ eipiessad by
the Rev. Mr. Ting, should hesitate to deliver
then' in the pulpit, fur fear of offending tome in
his.congTegatiOn. The ministers of the Royale
-
(ion, united with their peaceful calling, prayers
. for the success of the Ameridans, and even stood
shoulder to shoulder with thoie glorious souls
their efforts to achisvo Eyeedote. We of 1856, are
striving for: sqizelly as important a result. We.
demand that the' institution of Slavery be not ex-
tended' bpjaid its present boundaries; than out
virgin Territories be left open to free and intelli
gentaettlors, not, polluted by the foot of the slave
driver, nor watered with the tears of the driven.
In Ibis country we -wept the Christian religion,-
with its concomitants—edneatien, social pros
periky, elevation of the laboring man, and seen
rity of his righ4—tir progress, not oppression.
immorality and brutish,lgnorance.
•It would__ be well for the future career of this
country,..if every minister 'possessed on this sub
ject,. the spirit of the Methodist clergyman, in
Western New York, wikwben called to task
by some members, of his cilngregation, foi de
- pouncing, * , the aura traffic, forjear , of a split,

The creel treatment of this man towards. the sickpan

dearly shows that the steward as well as the Directors
