Lord Brougham on Slavery in Anierica.
The London Times of the 3th inst. pub-
Ilehed a correspondence between an aboli
tionist committee in Boston, rc..Ltnes 12En-
PATH, BeCtetaty." and Lord BROUGHAM. An
invitation, dated Nov. 2, 1860, invited Lord
BROUGHAM to attende public convention, to
be held in Boston on December 3d, there to
readdress them in reply to the question, so
vital to the Interests and the honor of our
country and the progress of freedom in the
world,—re How can American slavery be
abolished?" The anniversary of the death
of Tenn %tows, t; who, on the 2d of Decem
ber, 1859, was killed for attempting to decide
this problem in the mode that he believed to
be the most efficient, is an occasion peculiarly
appropriate for the discussion of our duty to
the rase for whom he suffered, and more espe
cially for the unfolding of practical methods
for achieving the holy object he desired to at
tain by his descent on Harper's Ferry, Vir
ginia." The Committee (who aro t; earnestly
desirous of devoting themselves to the work
of eradicating slavery in the United States,")
further intimated to Lord BROUGHAM that he,
and others, who should attend, would be rr ex
pected in his speeches or letters- to confine
himself exclusively to the great question of
the day, for it would be a work of supereroga
tion now to defend Joint Paceem, and a use
less waste of time to eulogize him. Leaving
both of these duties to the coming ages, lot us
seek to continue his life by striving to accom
plish what he lefi , us to finish."
The reply sent to this invitation is at once
able and characteristic, and pretty considera
bly throws cold water upon the doctrines
avowed by the committee in their invitation
to Lord BROUGHAM. Here it Is I
" BBovaneir, Nov. 20
"Sul ; I feel honored by the levitation to attend
the Boston Convention, and to give ray Opinion
upon the question, How can American slavery be
abolished?' I Consider the application is made to
me as conceiving me to represent the anti slivery
body in this country ; and I believe that I speak
their sentiments, as well as my own. in expressing
the widest deference of opinion with you upon
the. merits of those who promoted the .Harprr's
Ferry expedition, and upon the fate of those who
suffered for their conduct in it. No one will
doubt my earnest desire to see slavery extinguish
ed; but that desire can only be gratified by lawful
means—a strict regard to the rights of property,
or what the law declares to ee property, and a
constant repugnance to the shedding of blood.
No man can be considered a martyr unless he not
only suffers, but is witness to the truth : and he does
not bear this testimony who seeks a lawful object
by illegal means. Any other coarse taken Cot the
attolitien of olqvery can only delay the consumma
tion we se deiroqtly wish, bpsidea ee'posing the
oommunity to the hazard of an itourrection, per
haps lees hurtful to the master than the slave
When the British emanolpation was finally carried
it was acoomplished by steps, sad five years
elapsed between the commencement of the mea
sure in 1833 and its completion in 1838.
"The deolaratlon of the law which pronounced a
slave free as soon as he touched British ground
(erroneously moribed to the limglish aonrts under
Lord Mansfield, but really made by the judges in
Scotland) may seem to be ineonsistent with the
prinbiple new laid down. But I ant bund to ex
press my doubts of such a deciston would have
been given had Jamaica touched upon the coasts
of this country. It is certain that the judges did
not intend to declare that all property in slaves
should instantly cease, and yet 11111013 would have
been the inevitable effect of their judgment in the
ease supposed, which somewhat resembles that of
Amerioa
" In the elevation of your new President all
friends of America. of its continued Union, of the
final extinetion-of slavery, by peaceful means, _tied
of the utter immediate extinction of the exeorable
slave trade—a/1 friends of the human rase must
heartily rejoice They will, let us hope_prei,in

" Your faithful servant,

James Bealpath, F:eq.. Boston, United States "
The passages which we distinguished by
putting them into Italics, are pregnant with
matter for reflection. Lord Baonerum repu
diates the principles and the practice of SOUR
BROWN andhis adherents ; and his hint of what
the British law-decision might have beon, as
to the legality of slavery, had Jamaica touched
the coasts of England, is extremely significant.,
Of course, the Duchessof
—UTUERLAND,
B. B. STOWE, and all of that school, will be
horror-struck at 'Lord BROUGHAWO dictum.
An Important Visit
The visit of a committee of members of '
our Board of Trade of to a number of West
ern cities,_ last fall, was not only gratify
ing to those connected with it, but they were
enabled to exercise a most salutary influence,
by disseminating a knowledge of the great
manufacturing and commercial facilities of our
city, and by awakening among the merchants
of the West and Northwest a desire to culti
vate and establish more friendly and intimate
business relations with Philadelphia than have
heretofore existed. A. striking evidence of
this fact is to be found in the circumstance
that a large deputation is about to be sent by
the Boards of Trade of Milwaukee, Chicago,
and perhaps Cleveland, to make a return visit.
They will probably reach here on Thursday
next. Arrangements have already been made,
and are now in progress, by the Board of
Trade, members of the Corn xchange, and
e i ther leadinF business men, to extend to those
expected guests a cordial velcomo. W Kaye
no doubt that the hospitalities of our city will be
freely extended to them, and no effort spared
to render their sojourn among us at once
agreeable and promotive of the business Into
rests of their own section and of our beautiful
and flourishing city,
There is a natural political, geographical,
and commercial affinity between renn u lyania
and the great belt of flourishing common
wealths lying immediately west and northwest
of her, which, if properly appreciated by
those to whose keeping the commercial inter
oats of this vast region have been committed,
will forever cement them In bonds of indissolß7
ble 'friendship, and increase, with each new
year, their intercourse as rapidly as the ad
vancing tido of their population and wealth
progresses.
Whatever misfortunes may befall our nation,
and whatever woeful changes or harassing
events may betide us in this revolutionary era,
the whole section to which wo have alluded
has a common destiny, and its sons will stand
shoulder to shoulder with each other, and
never fqr a moment dream of converting the
friendly relation which has always heretofore
prevailed between them, into one of hatred
and antagonism.
Ono of the most pleasing features of the
present aspect of the country in a mere mate
rial point of view, is the fact that the energy
and industry of the people of the great West,
and the prolific harvests of last year, have ena
bled her to rise Phoenix-like from the ashes,
and to fully assume the wonted position of
prosperity and comfort which the disas
trons panic of 1857 for a time destroyed.
Now that business in the South has come to
almost a dead lock, it is more important than
Aver that we should strain every nerve to im
prove all the natural advantages we possess for
ostensive business intercourse in ether direc
tions, and it is particularly fortunate that at
this period such gratifying evidence of the
good will and kindly feeling of ono of the
greatest and richest sections of the country is
presented as the visit to which we have re
ferred.

at Eightenth and Marketstreets, and proceeded at
a slow pm out the latter avenue, under escort, of
a mule tam, as far its Thtrtyfirst street, (West

The cost if the mule draught has been a serious
expense n the corporation. During the summer,
all traits started from Thirtysret moot, but
many pamongors were aoriously inconvenienced
by the clangs of terminus, and the old depot hos
boon again restored. The following statement
will exhbit the expense or tho teams from Novem

more Central road is situated at a distance of se:
vonteen miles from Philadelphia. 'the spot bee a
wild and fantastic appearance, not unlike some of
the scenes upou the upper Juniata and Lehigh
rivers
Tho houses are built of varicolored
steno,yatiegated fa places with blooks of green
steno, which combine in them great strength and
aonsidorable graco The hills now assume bolder
outlines of curve, and rooks of great elzo crop out
in places,
We enter upon a domain of history almost coo
-4al with that of Philadelphia. Here the Lennt
Lune were the ancient dwellers; their villages
clustered upon the banks of the streams, and the
gray rooks that still lie on the steep hill-sides aro
older than their traditions. The road to West
Chester goon off to the northwest throup a deep
cut, and we dad at the triangular depot at the
junction a locomotive and three substantial oars
awaiting us. These ears were built at Kennett
Square; they aro solid specimens of Pennsylvania
handicraft, end the interior arrangements, though
plain,, are very ()haste and durable. No dash
wogs the creek upon a heavy timber bridge of Burr's
patent, and come in sight of It again at intervals.
The dwellings begin to assume a massive and an
ancient guise, as if built in the days of the Revolu
tion. Many of them point their one•eyed gable•
faces to the road, at.d the blocks of syenite and
greonstorto that peep out seem almost perpetual.
The biros are frequently built in the same sub
stantial manner, and fat kind that are grazing
on the slopes lift their hoads lagily to gage at
the retreating care.
The mist of the morning had not amended from
the ground when we entered this beautiful coun
try. Shortly after nine o'olook the sun came out
from the smoky clouds, and the frost that had co.
vered the car windows ran off like drops of deiT.
Almost simultaneously, like the going up of a cur
tain, the mist arose from the Mils. We caw Chester
Creak, a rivulet almost, flashing beside us, and
flowing towards the lowlands we bad loft behind•
And thus we came to Ivy mills. Here the Messrs.
Wilcox have establiehed their renowned manufao-
tory of banknote paper. Soma of the machinery
used in this mill is said to have been Imported from
England by William Penn. Immediately adjoin•
tog <be Penn mill Is an old, deoayed structure,
plastered white upon the exterior, and rapidly
tumbling into ruins. The window-framea and sash
of this mill wore also made in England, and the
promisee are renowned in the history of the State
as furnishing to Benjamin Franklin the paper he
first employed. There is seemly a farmer in the
county who has not some fragment of the picots, as
a relic of its One.
At Concord station we see in the distance the
ancient meeting house ono of the oldest edifices
in the country. A dwelling of faded gentility, with
four gables and sundry ecoontrio roofs, was once
the residence of a wealthy eolonlal family. The
bricks in the building were made in England,
shipped to Philadelphia and thence carted to this
place.
As we leave the sources of Chester creek, and
climb by a pleasant grade the bilis that divide it
from the Brandywine ' the views enlarge and be.
some more beautiful. There are cedars on the
bills, and some traces of snow under the fences.
The latter are of the sigeag character, usually de
nominated " worm," or " snake." All the oaks
are leafless ; the woods at the roadside are bare,
and the brown leaves are soaking in rain water.
We venture Into some deep excavations and flash
out again into the sunlight. Seine tiny stream
are crossed by ribbed bridges—and the air is cliar
and cold.
We are at Brandywine Summit, whore the train
halts to give us a glimpse of the scenery. Afar off,
the curves of the hills cross each other ; we look
down to the east and the west upon a hundred
farms, and see that the brooks behind go down to
the Chester creek, and those before slope off to
the Brandywine. On every crest and slope, as if
great sentinels, with wondrous eyes, crouch the
dwellings of the yeomen. Bettor read men the
State does not know. At all the stations there are
eager hands stretched out for the morning papers,
and it pleases us to see that the favorite sheet
everywhere is The Pr's. The intelligence of
these Pennsylvania farmers is evident in the ar
rangement of their dwellings. Neatness is writ
ten on all the houses, and the country bas been so
long in cultivation that oven the rooks seemed
turned into use.
Wo go down gently toward the Brandywine,
and the ever-memorable Ford. where the water
was red, like blood. The tiny Pecapsip that flows
athwart us suggests its Indian reminiscences.
This port of Chester county was settled originally
by Welsh. They became Friends shortly after
their arrival, and Wm. I'onn, on visiting them,
found that neither could discourse upon things
spiritual, for neither knew the other's tongue. Per
haps it was as well.
BRANDYWINE DATTLE.GROUND
We reach Painter's Crossroads and feel that the
battleground of Brandywine is at band. A blend
points out to no the headquarters of Lafayette,
where he slept on the eve of the struggle. It
stands upon a road running parallel with the track
a small dwelling of frame, with u blittlitad Welt in
front, now owned, IRO believe, by Won Oilpin.
The little hamlet of Chadd's Ford stands to the
cost of the amok, consisting of a fow anolont houses
clustering about a small tavern. Washington's
headquarters twos easily recognized, fronting the
Toad—a handsome dwelling with three ottipners,
a nd a willow tree in the front yard. Behind it,
Chadd's old house, sheltered behind a tall poplar,
and a few dwellings of more modern construction,
tussle up the town. The battleground looked of
to the north, a series of steep bills, created with
farm houses A road runs parallel with the Bran
dywine to West Chester, passing west of the scenes
of the battle. We strained our eyes in vain to see
Birmingham Meeting Bones, where the wounded
soldiers died, and where blood marks aro still writ
ten on the floor. Just beside us, where the railroad
creases the croak on a bridge of trowels upwards of
five hundred feet long, Is chadd'e Ford; a broad,
still place in the creek, crossed by a bridge of
boards. Just above, where the slope is fringed with
grass, not yet withered in the snow, 11.nyphausen
and Wayne contended. The wily hessian planted
his cannon on those hills to the west, and made a
great ado with musketry, while Cornwallis was
sneaking through the ravines behind him to cross
at the distant Ford and make havoc in the mums
peoting rear. Around ns, on every hand, the sod
is consecrated. Them Nide, now dripping and
half white, worn trampled with thousands of feet,
and the sky, so still and olear, rang with the shouts
of Oontending armies.
The train paused to take in wood. We perched
ourselves upon a trunk In the freight oar, end
vroadered if all the picture wan not the pencil
liege of a dream. Wore these hills, peaoeful and
stretching to the copse of the creek, under the
Bunbeams, the site of a deadly feud, written in
history ? The dream of childhood lay under our
lashes, and the buried mon whose deeds made up
a nation's history, once sheltered In these cosy
homes and walked that narrow roadway with heav
ing fears and hopes. Mad Anthony, "his foot
upon his native heath," Sullivan and Greene,

TO ICENNZTT SQUARE
The whistle of the engine was too shrill for a
dreaming event, and as wo crossed the tressel-work
bridge very Slowly, the scenes of Ohadd's Ford went
out of eight. We presume that Mass Mum bridges
are intended to subserve only a temporary
purpose. They should be removed before many
seasons go by. However strong they May be, the
feeling of security will be feeble in the mind of the
traveller, so long as the immense weight of a loco
motive and train quiver in. the air over their tim
bers
At Chadd'e Ford, it is thought by many, the
Brandywine " 'Valley Railroad, ill oross the Balti
more Central This road, is to be made from
"Wilinington to some , point 'of the Pennsylvania
Central road. It is not improbable, hoirever, that it
will! take the , line of Red Clay Creek, via
Kennett . Scitiare, to Ooat3villo. We understood that
the greatest amount of stook could be secured by
taking the latter route.
W endeavored without guesses to catch glances
Of the old Kennett meeting-honse and•Welch's
oirnt tavern, both noted in the history of the Re
volution. At ten o'clock we reached Kennett
Square.
This le one of the oldest towns in the State, and,"
113'n:they respects, one of the moat interesting. It
'stands upon a gentle hill, a few hundred feet to the
right, and presents a handsome spectacle from the
railroad In the centre is the town hall, a large
brick edifice, of which the *likens are deservedly
proud. Adjoining this is the ancient hotel where
General Rowe slept on ills eve of tho great battle,
•and, d fine old atone dwelling on the main street
was the birth•place of Bayard Taylor, the author
travoller. Mr. Taylor now has his summer real
dente (" Cedar Croft ") about a half-mile from the
town. It stands In what was formerly a sort of
common, hidden behind a stately woods. The edi
fioe Is built of brisk, made upon the promises, and
roofed with elate from Peaohbottom, Lancaster
county, a short diatanoe from the present terminus
of the road. Tho house was designed by Mr.
Taylor, we believe. It is of a semi-Gothic style,
very large and spacious, with massive oaken floors
and stairways, and crowned with a tower. A stone
in front bears the name of the owner and that of
his lady. The old common, or moor, has been
wrought into an exquisite lawn, which the stunted
cedars alone adorn. Tho gateway is lammed in

Kennett Square is, also the abode of Mr. Cham
bers, an inventor of 'some note. A fine ear manu
factory, in the town, has been doing an excellent
business sines the road was opened. It is now fni
filling a contract for upwards of thirty oars, which
have been ordered from Wisconsin. Last fall an
Abolition Convention was held in Kennett, the pub
lished proceedings of which made some sensation,
and gave an unworthy notoriety to the town The
intelligence of the people on the line of this road has
been adverted to. The same is particularly no
ticeable at Kennett Equate ; although by no means
tho third town in point of population, it is the
third post-office town in Chester county. Some
fifty copies of The Press go there daily, and the
numbeir of Tribunes, megaztnes, oto., is very great.
A lecture hold in the town hall referred to last
winter, netted the managers $1.60 at the cost of five
cants per ticket
A fine nursery has been established at this town
by a gentleman named Lang, and the fielde be•

Is laid in the centre of this valley. We pass on the
way 'the old Jackson mansion, so sailed after the
patriarch of the valley, who took up the last vacant
traot of land In tbo township, (London Grove,) as
early as 1725. 11e had dreamed in Ireland of a
far•off 'valley in the baokwoods, where a stream of
spring water rippled down the hills. As it guided
by the recollections of his dream, be came to Dough
reehnsmon, and saw with attain all that he had
imaged in sleep. The spring of which he dream
ed rises in the present garden of his descendants.
The next station (New Garden) stands adlacent to
the " Rammer and Trowel," uyeryy old tavern of
the Conestoga time. Sara the road mosses White
Clay creels.
We reach Avondale at half past 10 o'clook, on
the brink of tho famous Elliott estate. This land,
a tract of 800 cores,
is still undivided among the
heirs of its anolont owner. Its value has been
fixed at the low figure of $130.000. It is in con
templation to divide the estate into building lots,
and locate a village upon its site:: Van Amburgh's
splendid horses were pasturing bore as we passed.
We aro told that more passengers are taken at this
Malan than at any two stations on the line of road,
excepting Oxford. Within three miles of the sta
tion there are not less than fifteen water powers.
The extensive lime-kilns of Hughes & Co. here jut
out from the hills, and a branch railway leads book
to the qnarries and kilns of Baker dt Phillips.
This station will doubtless supply lime to the en
tire lino of railroad. At Westgrove" station we
gee the old Quaker dwelt, built In 1700, and at
"Penn" go through a deep out and emerge upon
another line of trussels, four feet high and nine
hundred feet long. Wo reach Eikview, forty miles
from Philadelphia, and four from Oxford, shortly
before 11 o'clock, Until the late opening of this
road to Oxford, this was the terminus. A dingy
frame oar house adjoins the road—now almost de
serted. The view down the Elk discloses a vast
extent of short timber, or brush, stretching off to
ward Maryland, and a brawling stream, perhaps
twenty feet wide, flowing through a sort of morass.
The bridge here is fifteen hundred feet long and
ninety five feet from the atrearp at its highest
part. The ascending grotto west of the Elk is at
the rate of sixty feet to the mile.
We reached Oxford at eleven o'clock, with the
appetite of a cormorant. The train bore halted
until the middle of the afternoon, and we followed
the conductor up an exceedingly muddy street to
sort of primitive hotel, around which, upon sundry
poles sundry nags were tied. It was the day for
election of direotore at the Ootoraro Bank, a brick
dwelling across the way. The barroom was
orowdid with hungry bipeds, and by a card against
the wall we found that two stage lines centred m the
town, One of whiob has its termination at Newark,
Delaware, via New London; the other at Peach.
bottom, in Lancaster "'aunty.
Oxford and its vioinity were settled by the
Scotch Irish, of the Covenanter faith. The dwell.
Inge in the town are all of substantial brick ; the
streets are horribly muddy, and the soil of the
Outten thereabout is of a very nasty, red clay,
that approaches one's ankles, and, in some places,
even his knees. Before the Baltimore Central
road was opened, the market teams for Philadel
phia drove from this place to Parkesburg, fourteen
miles, and shipped upon the cars for Philadelphia,
about forty miles more. Beyond the town a few
miles, the celebrated serpentine raglan is found.
This is a part of the soil almost barren
. for the pur
poses of agriculture, but abounding in rich de
posits of chrome. Most of these chrome claims
have been bought by Mr. Tyson, of Baltimore,
otherwise known as Bing Chrome. Eight miles
from Oxford, on the Oetorare, is his shipping place.
The point at walla' the Susquehanna is intended
to be erased by the Baltimore road, is situated
fifteen miles from Oxford, below the mouth of Os.
torero creek. The river is here a half mile wide
and exceedingly rooky. Two and a half miles be
low is Port Deposit, a famous lumber and lime
stone port They have already authority to cross
,he river for which purpose $200,Q00 will be re
quired. .ight miles of the way beyond Oxford
are already graded, and the determination of the
company is understood to be to place a line of
steamboats upon the Chesapeake Bay, auxiliary to
the road, and make the through fare by rail and
river $2 to Baltimore. The importance of this de.
sign will be estimated when it is remembered that
the old Baltimore road expended a half million of
dollars to destroy the New Castle and Prenolitown
road, which was connected with a similar bay line
The new road has been almost in the grasp of its
rival several times Last year, we believe, but a
few votes Were lacking to lease ' it to the old road.
In that event, it is said, a branch road would have
been constructed from Avondale to Wilmington,
and the rood extending above Avondale no longer
employed. Beyond the Susquehanna the Beiti
more Central will avoid the yariope inlets of the
Chesapeake, now bridged by the Wilmington Iced,
and along the entire distance will possess the supe
rior foliates el a continuous line above tidewater.
It mot he finished, if finished at all, by the people
of Maryland. The mon:Manta of Baltimore are
new directly interested In its success. The whole
line, we believe, is about three miles longer
than the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Balti
more road. By avoiding the ferry at the Sus
quehanna, and the bridges over the Gun
powder and Bush rivers, the trip between the two
can be made by the Baltimore Central road at
least a half hour quicker than by the other line.
The vast !amber trade of the Susquehanna will
tall directly into its hands; and Ma lime, grain,
elate, and produce of the valleys and fertile sec
tions which it intersects, will eventually make the
Baltimore Central road one of the leadinglines coo

old man was a perfect demon, and some of his ants
of barbarity towards his wife and children would
have shamed the wildest savage. He would fre
quently hang the children up by the neck until
life was almost extinct, and at other times he
would hold their heads under the water until they

boys tied to the house of a neighbor one day,
