THE COPPERHEADS OF ENGLAND.
GEO• THOMPSON'S LECTURE AT THE
COVENANTERS' CHURCH-
The great pressure upon our columns, on Satur
- day, precluded the insertion of our report of Mr.
Thompson's great leeture,-eu Friday evening, deli
vered at the Covenanters, Church, on Ch of erry street,
below Eleventh. " The Copperheads England
and Amcrlea» was the theme of his discourse,
though he confined his remarks to the first class,
because with the latter we
purposely, as he said,
ourse tves were already sufficiently acquainted, and
noainSt thCM daily events were warning us. The
Church Was Conifortably tilled, and he was listened
to with that interest which always marks his public
deliveries. It was the second time he has recently
Frdien in _Philadelphia, and the second time
in the Covenanters' Church, the former oeca
siUu being thirty_years ago, when no other pub
lic building could be obtained by Mr. Thompson
for the expression of his views upon the sullied of
slavery. Ho was introduced to the audience by Rev.
Mr. Stephenson, pastor of the church, who alluded
with much- emphasis to the contrast which Mr.
Thompson's present reception formed to that accord
,a him thirty years ago. The man had remained
true to principle; he bad not changed an iota, but
the times had changed, thank God ! and_the Ameri
cai people greeted, with a feeling somewhat akin
to on th u mtorn, the champion of anti-slavery, whom
they once so heartily denounced. Mr. Stephenson
added that the Covenanter-s' Church was peculiarly
complimented by Mr. Thompson's, condescension to
peak to neon, when so many invitations had been
extended to him from other sources.
Mr. Thompson was received with' applause, and
spoke as follows :
LAMS AND Gaixvraninti : I must take the liberty
of disclaiming altogether the thanks awarded me for
being- here te - -nighf, or for conferring thereby any
honor upon tim church steadily worshipping within
these walls. Most grateful have I ever felt to those
who are connected with this building, for thereat
rivileue which, nearly thirty years ago, I hail the
honor of addressing more than once. Ido not deem
it a less privilege to-night to feel thankful to Di
vine Providence that lie has spared inc to comehere
under circumstances somewhat more auspicious
than those that surrounded us in days that are past.
I cannot help referring to the tact that to the body,
a portion of whose members worship in this church
from Sabbath to Sabbath—that to that body belongs,
in common with the very few Christian denomina
tions in this country, the honor of having, from the
time their denominations were first known in this
country, acted upon the righteous principle of ex
cluding from their religious communion any man or
woman so grossly violating the principles and pre-
Capp, the genius and design of Christianity, as to
claim, impiously to claim. the right of property in
their fellow-beings. To the Reformed Presbyteri
ans, or, as they are sometimes called, the "Cove
nanters," belongs, I say, with come few other deno
minations in this country, that honor. I was de
lighted, in taking up the Philadelphia papers of
this morning, to Mid that the Methodist Episco
pal Conference, assembled in this city at this
time, have indicated that they intend, during
the session or sessions of their quadrennial Confe
rence,to adopt as a principle of membership non
slaveolding [applause]; and while IrejOice:greatly
that that very large body of Christians in this coun
try are returning, to the principle that once distin
guished them, the rule, the discipline, and the law
that prevailed in the Methodist body while the spirit
Of John Wesley was prevalent among them, that
they are returning to the observance of that great
principle, and that the Methodist Church North,
too long injured and corrupted by having within it
pertain slavoholding (:'onferenees,will become a body
purged from the responsibility and guilt of conni
vance at a sin so great as slavehelding ; but to-night
I have to ray to you something whiclilias more refe
rence to my own country than to yourselves.
Coming recently from Englnd, and harmg had the
Opportunity of very extensively observing there the
state of public opinion in relation to the great
aifurs of America, I want to give you some little ,
account of the Unionists and Copperheads of Great
Britain. The community of the land from which I
come are very distinctly divided upon the American
question—upon that great question which has
now for three years distracted and convulsed
this country, and has made America the
scene of domestic and civil war. Even the chil
dren in the same family, boys in our public and pri
vate schools, students in our colleges and universi
ties, frequenters of our lyceums, and forums, and
debating societies, the members of our numerous
clubs, our quarterly reviews, our monthly maga
sines, our weekly journals,
have all been divided,
-and are still divided, into North and South, Union
ist and Copperhead. Most of our Copperhead news
papers about as correctly describe the sentiment of
the people as the New York Herald describes the
character and objects of the anti-slavery party of
this country. Let us illustrate by reference to the
London Times. This is the most widely circulated,
and best written, and most influential journal that, j
during your terrible conflict, has taken sides with I
the South, as against the North. That journal has
a host of imitators, who, unable to equal their ori
ginal in the talent withwhich it is conducted, in the
power of mischief, seek to excel it in the depth of
their malignity and the coarseness of their vitupe
ration_ The Times has represented throughoutthe
whole course of its history all that was arrogant
and cowardly, all that was blindly rash and stupid
ly reactionary amongst the English people. It
has invariably appealed to the selfish in
stincts and ignoble prejudices that belong to
every people in every age. Simple men wonder
why the Times has succeeded. Its success is no
peculiarity for the English people. It is successful
because it has always misrepresented, ridiculed,
and traduced every measure of rellunn set on foot
sines* its first number was published. The Times
always reckons on the support of a large number of
constant readers—persons who worship themselves
- In the act of adoring their favorite mouthpiece, and
who, when they read the columns of the Times, are I
accustomed to say ‘i them's my _sentiments."
[Laughter.] The Times commenced its existence
at a time when to oppose reform was fashionable
and profitable. By good management it secured a
position, obtained early intelligence, acquired
wealth, and showed enterprise. The correspond
ents of the Times have always re-echoed the
opinions of their masters. Once Dr. Russell was
sent to Ireland to report- a great monster meeting
in favor of repeal. It was at a time when the Irish
pedple were much enraged against the Times and
its correspondent for its long-continued misrepre
sentation of them. The people were determined that
Russell should no longer villify them, so they - took
measures toprevent his attendance at their meetings.
He communicated with O'Connell upon the subject,
and begged him to see that he was protected. The
Liberator stated that he would do so, and himselfac
companied him to the meeting, and implored the
people not togive vent to their desire of revenge
against one whom he had made his guest. Paper
and table were Provided him, and just as he was
about commencing his speech Mr. O'Connell turned
around and inquired of Dr. Russell if he was ready.
The Liberator then proceeded, and harangued his
audience in the true Irish tongue, and Dr. Russell
was foiled. [Laughter.] For two years the Times
had a correspondent in the South. This gentleman
is the brother of a peer of the realm, a man of edu
cation and abilities, having mixed in the highest
circles of English society. He, too, has misrepre
sented the people and institutions of this country,
and pandered to the - prejudices of the home readers.
Another correspondent, Dr. Mackay, dates his let
ters from New York. From this gentleman better
things were expected. He has labored with a zeal
and indpstry most remarkable in the cause of the
South, with - a view of doing all the harm in his pow
er to the cause of truth and liberty. Deeply is it
to be regretted that a man like Dr. Mackay should
}Lave made himself the companion and friend of
Fernando Wood and Vallaniligham. We have
Copperheads among our public men—in the House
of Lords men like Brougham, and in the House of
Commons men like Laird, - Lindsay, Gregory, and
Roebuck. Of Lord Brougham Air. Thompson
would speak with forbearance. Brougham should
be viewed with indulgence, in consideration of the
fact that he is old and in his dotage. We should
not overlook the difference that exists between Lord
Brougham of the present day and Henry Brougham
of other days ; how, in days one 1.r.,7, he was the
eloquent champion of the rights of the slave and
the zealous promoter of reform in his own country.
How often has that voice been raised against
slavery 1 But he has lived too long. He has ceased
almost wholly to be an authority. He Stands the
shadow of a mighty name.
Next to Lord Brougham, Mr. Roebuck is the
most melancholy instance of wasted and perverted
powers that later days had produced. He and the
speaker were young men together, and in the de
bating
society young Roebuck was an ardent friend
of liberty. He was the champion of universal free
dom and emancipation. He was the associate of the
most advanced reformers of the day. In 1832 he
went into the first Reform Parligment. While there
he supported the People's Charter, the most radical
manifesto put forth in England during the present
century; but how are the mighty fallen! Mr. Roe
buck is now a stagnant pool of sand and water—use
less acrid, dissolving. Be now performs the dirty
work of Jefferson Davis. He makes motions in fa
vor of the recognition of the rebels, and has, in a re
centinstanee,pronounced the Gle.ernment at Wash
ington base, cowardly, and corrupt, and declared
that the American war was a blot upon human na
ture. It is but just to say that this language, when
uttered, was repudiated and condemned by the
House of Commons. [Applause] An indulgent
constituency permits Mr. Roebuck to retain his
Seat in the. Legislature, in consideration of past ser
vices; but this Copperhead traducer of this country
is
_punished by the perfect impotence of his malice.
We have a distinguished Copperhead author in
England, Mr. Spence, who is likewise a distin
guished merchant in Liverpool. In 1861, ho gave
the world a volume on the subject of Secession, in
which he justified the revolt of the South. His
work has gone into the fourth edition. Mr. Spence
has sought to serve the cause of the rebels if writ
ing letters continuously to the Times, over the ini
tial ,4 S." Poe some time Mr. Spence acted as the
agent of the Confederate Government. On one oc
casion he said he was not prepared to vindicate
slavery in the abstract. For this he was cashiered
by the authorities at Richmond. For one year we
had a Copperhead Lord Player of the city of Lon
don. Usually, London is very radical. Three days
after he was elected, wishing to accumulate honors,
he offered himself for a seat in Parliament to the
representatives of the city of Southampton. I of
fered myself as his opponent for the purpose of cor
recting some opinions in regard to America. Re
invited Mr. Mason to his banquet, and towards the
end of the festivities he gave the toast to "our
guests," and mentioned Mr_ _Mason's name. We
who belonged to the Union party, were not disposed
to rest under the stigma which the Lord Mayor
sought to cast upon us, by feting the author of
the fugitive slave law. In a day or t wo there Was an
election for presddent of St. 13artholomew , s
• tal, and the Lord alutyor has always been elected to
this position. But this time. by a vote of 74 to 11,
another gentleman, not the Lord :Mayor, was elect
ed_president. [Applause.]
ale. Thompson proceeded to-
explain why the pee
-ple of England- were 50 slow in manifesting their
sympathy with the Union. When they heard that
this country was engaged in war, they hoped that
the rebellion would Birimeith, toy iead to a proebt
nation of freedom to the slaves • la t instead or that,
many facts found their way over the water which
were used to your disadvantag e. The inaugural
address of Mr. Lincoln gave little hope for human
freedom. Then followed the resolution of Congress
discouraging the idea that • slavery would be
in the slightest degree affected, however success
ful the military operations of the North would
be. Then there was the disallowance of the
- proclamation of Fremont in Missouri, and the recall
-of that distinguished officer, who, in England, was
considered peculiarly fitted to carry on the war
against his Southern enemies. [Great applause.]
Then there was the language of the Republicans in
this country. Some of your leading Republican
papers denounced Abolitionists as playing into the
Lands of the rebels. Then there was the Presi
dent's letter to air. Greeley—though, it must be
said, it was just such a letter that Mr. Lincoln
could not help writing under the circumstances.
These things were referred to to show whether there
was not some cause for the repression of that feel
ing which was always ready to burst forth when it
was found that the American people meant to put
"down the rebellion by putting down slavery, [AP
ii]anse.) You could not expect the people of Eng
land to take that interest hi the salvation of the
'Union that they did in the abolition of slavery. On
the 7th of March, 1862, commenced the changein
English sentiment, when Mr. Lincoln sent a uses-
Page to Congress asking it to indemnify the Border
States , in case they should deem it fit to emanci
pate their slaves. Then came the purging of the
District of Columbia from slavery t after that, the
enforcement of the Fedemllaws for the suppression
of slave traders;
then your recognition of Liberia.
;Then came the treaty with England, granting to
cted of
kngland the right to search ves.sels suspe
being engaged in the slave trade. Then the immor
tal proclamation of the Ist of January, 1863, which
declared that on that day three millions of slaves
were thenceforth and forever tree. [Applause.]
Well, since then,
and even before, you had friends
in multitudes In England. We never had more so
cieties enlisted in behalf of anti-slavery than exist
te-dav ; never had more meetings held, more
speeches made for the purpose of correcting public
Sentiment on the subject of America. What has
been the result? England is at this hour in sympa
thy with America. Always remember that there
are two England& One England has never been
your friend, and never will. There is an England
that hates your institutions; the England that taxed
and oppressed you. There is another England, that
has always been with you that rejoiced in your in
pendenee, and has blecged you for the many favors
you have conferred upon the millions of our coun
trymen that have sought your shores. That England
is with you that wrung Catholic Emancipation
from a bigoted Parliament of Orangemen, that
wrung the abolition of slavery from a Parliament of
West Indians. Since 1859, the speaker had devoted
himself to the service of this country [applause].
Ile had done it without pay or promptin without
any communication, direct or indirect, 'with any
single individual in this country connected with any
political party, and, going through the country as
he had done, he had oppo - rtunities of knowing who
are with the Americans and who against them. Oh!
the devotion with which the Ivorblui?:, , men stood by
the American Government in its present great strug
gle. They had endured poverty and starvation ra
ther than countenance the rebels. The name of
President Lincoln, when sounded; was always the
key-note of the greatest enthusiasm. [Applause.]
They were earnest in their endorsement of the title
given Mr. Lincoln by Garibaldi, "Liberator of the
slaves of Anierica. , Mr. Thompson said that he
had no time left him to speak of the Copperheads Of
America. But, if you take care or them, he con
tinued, we in England will take care of ours. [Ap
plause.] I should like to pay my respects to them,
but it is now impossible.
I wilt only say a word in conclusion : That I sym
pathize with you in your great struggle ; that my
heartpalpitates, as well as yours, in expectation of
the tidings you are momentarily awaiting, I need
not say. I humbly pray that your arms may be
crowned with success. - Oh, my -fiends ! little did
,your illustrious forefathers, those men who Sat in
' this city, not far from where I stand this moment—
little did they think what they were doing when
they agreed to tolerate the great evil of slavery
among them. They thought that slavery would
Soon die. But it lived to make six slave States in
crease to fifteen, to make two hundred thousand
squaremiles of slave soil nearly eight hundred thou
sand square miles, and to multinly slaves from five
hundred thousand to four anea quarter millions.
It lived to split your Union—to overthrow your
Constitution—to deluge your country in blood—
lived to east the emblems of mourning over your
licarth-stones, and still lives—fierce, furious, and
insatiate—erying, "give, give, give PY Will you let
it live, or kill it once for all? You must destroy
slavery, or slavery will destroy you. Now is the
time to lay the basis of a regenerated nation. It
must be reared upon foundations: that are as broad
as the principles' of eternal justice, and as Impartial
as the love of Ilim who made of one blood all the
families of the earth.

'FITE FIRE DEPARTMENT.—The annual re
port of the Uhief Engineer of the Fire Department
for the year ending Nov. 1, BM, has just been pub
lished. it sets forth the following facts :
There are eighty-nine comminies in the depart
ment, thirty-six of which have steam engines, thir
ty-ftve hand engines, one hundred and seventeen
hose carriages, nine hook-and-ladder trucks ; there
are also fifteen hundred and ninety-six foot of lad
ders, one hundred and fifty axes,
eighty-six thou
sand one hundred and eighty feet of hose, and one
thousand and seventy-one feet of suction hose. The
total number of members is twelve thousand one
hundred and nineteen, and connected with the com
panies are thirty-six engineers, thirty-six drivers,
seventy-nine horses, and thirty-five ambulances.
During the year DM there were three hundred and
thirty-two - tires in this city, the total loss from which.
was $400,264, on which there was an insurance of
46100,656. The aggregate original cost of the steam
engines was $1.'28,390, and of tile hose carriages,hand
engines, and trucks, $150,862.50. The heaviest steam
engine is the Weccacoe, which weighs, when ready
for service, ten thousand 'pounds. The lightest is
the United States, weighing thirty-five hundred
pounds. The steamer of the Northern _Liberty Hose
was the most costly in its construction, s.l,7oohaving
been paid for it, and the steamer of the Franklin
Engine Company was the least expensive, having
cost only $2,700. Of the 12,119 members, about one
sixth have their names inscribed upon the active
roll. The balance, comprising the honorary and con
tributing members, are nearly equally divided.
Aside from the apparatus, the companies own a
large amount of other property. The value of their
real estate is $422,450, and of the personal $60,924.50.
ANOTHER RAILROAD HOMICIDE. -A little
child, two years old, named Alex:111(1er Reed, was
run over at Twenty-second and Vine streets, by a
passenger railroad ear, on Saturday. Both legs of the
unfortunate child were horribly lacerated and
broken. The sufferer was conveyed to the Penn
sylvania Hospital, but death ensued in a few
minutes after admission. In the language of a re
cent jury of the coroner, "had the drzver of the car
been more careful, the probability is the child would
vol hare been killed."
Such a verdict as this is simply a premium to
drivers to be reckless. Such involuntary homicides
as the above are almost a daily occurrence. In a
recent case of child-killing, the mother, a poor
widow, had not the means to bury it. She made
application to the railroad company for material
assistance, but the cold shoulder was given her, and
she was cruelly turned away. In consequence of
this an appeal was made from the pulpit of a large
church in the southern section of the city in her
behalf.
DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT. —A pleasure
party at the Tamany fish-house on the Jersey shore,
opposite the northern part of Philadelphia, was

day.
COLORED TROOPS. —Very few colored
soldiers are now being - recruited in this and other
States by the supervistry committee. A large pro
portion of the able-bodied ones have been obtained.
The Government should give them power to open
recruiting offices in Virginia, where at least hay
regiments could be filled.
REGATTA.—To-morrow the race for a
snpper for the members of the Philadelphia Yacht
Club will take place on the Delaware. The yachts
Buliberry and quickstep are the chosen ones for the

murrer to the complainant's bill, brought for specific
It l i i i o t n on s. . This is a
perrormance, to compel the defead ant to execute a re
lease and extinguishment of a ground - rent. The de
fend:tut cold to John McDowell, whose tato complain
ant owns, a lot in Philadelphia
upon a ground-rout of
*MAO, payable half-yearly in "lawful silver money
of the United Slates of America. " The deed contains
the"
following clause of redemption:
Provided, always, nevertheless, that if the said
John McDowell, or his heirs or asidgns, shall and do
at any time hereafter pay or cause to lie paid unto the
said Mary hl. Bri Mon, her heirs er assigns, the sum of
three thousand five hundred and twenty-five dollars
lanful money as aforesaid, and the arrearages of said
yearly rent to the time of such payment, then [be RAMC
shall forever thereafter Cease and be excing,nished, and
the covenant for the pay mont thereof shall becomo void.
and then the said Mary M. Brinten, her heirs and as
signs, shall and will, at the proper Cost:laud charges, in
the law of the said grantee, his heirs or assigns, seat
nd execute a sufficient release and discharge of the said
yearly rent, hereby reserved, to the said John McDow
ell and his heirs Lunt assigns forever, anyt.Ling here
inbefere contained to the contrary thereof in anywise
notwithstanding,"
The complainant tendered to the defendant the sum
required to extinguish the ground rent in idwal-tender
notes of the United States, which the defendant declined
to accept, and the point raised by the deinurror is, that
the tenth, was insufficient, because not made in current
silver money of the United States.
Toe question hi the constitutionality or the legal-ten
der act was raised in the argument, and the ease rested
on the grc,und,.: that the subject of payment wag net a
dobt, but an <Wale subject to redemption only on stipn-
Intro terms, and that the owner of the rent only bar
gained that the owner of the land might buy il. off upon
fixed terms.
" I think neither of these po,itiens inn correct: The stun
which was agreed to he grid in extinguishment of the
rent is nut :in estate, %V bell tine owner of the land &cots
to pay it. The mistake is in confounding the value of
(inc interest or estate which the4.IWIICr of tine ground
rent has in the ground relit with the price or coin to be
paid to extinguish it. Unquestionably. the interest of
the groaud-rent owner is really subject to dmicent, to
execution, and to at icnatiou as real estate, but the mo
ney which the purchaser of the land agreed to pay is
the price or consideration of the estate of tine ground.-
rent owner paid to extinguish it.
What was the transaction? The ground-rent owner
was the owner of the land. He agreed to Nell it to the
purchaser for au alternative conseteration; to wit—the
interest of the price, 8211 00, payable annually forever
if the purchaser chosos se to pay; or, when he elects,
the price itself', Ftc-3,09.1.5. The consideration is, therefore,
*2ll fill annually, or $3,52.5 when the purchaser chooses
so to pay it. When the deed wac made the case then
stood thus: The grantee became vested with a freehold
of inheritance in the land, and the grantor with an in
corporeal hereditament in the rent, subject by the terms
of the conveyance itself (not a new bargain) to be
divested by the payment of the price in the alternatiyo
form after election.
Thus, a simple analysis of the transaction shows that
the purchaser, when he elects to pay the principal, does
fie In6re than pay the tines act upon the property by the
terms of the original bargain, and that at the moment
when he makes his election to cease paying the annual
price and pay the Principal, he has made it a debt; that
is, a . specific sum of money, which, by the deed, he
owes, and agrees to pay when Ito elects to do so.
What be pays is not tin estate, but it is that which he
pays for the estate. It is money, it is specific and cer
tain, and it is that which he has agreed by express
torsos to pay to extinguish the estate of the ground rent
owner. What is this but a debt? luwhat does it differ
from any other contract where au option or election is
given to the payer? Suppose the subject of sale to bo a
chattel instead of land, and the purchaser agrees to pay
the annual interest of the price forever, or, at leis op
tion, to pay the priocipal , does the want of power in the
vendor to compel him to make his election i'to pay the
Principal change the character of the principal as a debt
when he does elect to pay it? How is this case any dif
ferent? If tile ground rent owner cannot enforce pay
ment of the principal, it is not because the moray, when
offered to be paid, is not of tbe nature , of a debt, but be
cause he has given his grantee an option to pay in either
way. It is his deed or contract which prevents the ex
action, not the nature of the sum to he paid. It is a sum
of money arisi n), in contract; it is the price of an estate;
it is paid to extinguish it; and it is certain and fixed.
If this be not a debt, what is?
The other objection is not more sound, that the owner
of the ground rent only bargained that lie would sell on
stipulated terms. The idea, as I understand it, is this:
That by the terms of this clause the owner of the ground
rent oilers to sell the ground rent to.the grantee upon his
paying to the former so many dollars in silver money,
and that until the grantee comes to his terms he is not
bound by the offer; but it is an unaccepted proposition
until the grantee comes up to his terms of silver money.
This is fallacious. The redemption clause is not a con
tract for a future sale of the ground rent, but is a provision
for the cessation and extinguishment of the ground rent
when the stipulated price, the sum already agreed upon
for the purchase, shall lie paid. It is a proviso that
'when the sum is paid, with arrears of the yearly rent,
then the same (to wit, yearly rent) shall forever there
after cease and be extin °nulled, and the covenant
for the payment thereof shall become void.'' It was,
therefore, not an offer to sell, but the sale had been
made, the deed was its execution, and the clauses mere
ly provided for the alternative mode of payment. This
Will be the more manifest from the nature of the deed.
it conveys the land for the nominal consideration of one
dollar; a present valuable consideration introduced to
give the deed the legal effect of a feoffment or deed with
living of selsin. But the real consideration is the cove
nant of the grantee to pay the annual interest or rent; or
when he so elects, the stipulated price in full; and the
grantor prestesitly covenants in the deed that the pay
ment, when made, shall extinguish the covenant to pay
rent. The instrument is operative at the time of its
date, and needs no new act of the grantor to give it effect.
It is because the grantee so provided and covenanted
in the deed itself that extinguishment takes place. It
is true the deed provides for a release and discharge of
the yearly rent; but this, it Is manifest, was but to pre
serve the evidence, and provide for a clean record; so
that the registry which shows the charge should also
show the discharge. The operative act is the payment.
There can be no doubt that payment in itself discharges
the rent, and if the ground-rent owner should die the
next moment, the evidence of the payment would be all
;sufficient for the owner of the land; and the reason is,
that this is the provison of the deed itself. On payment
being made, the language is: "Then the same (rent)
shall forever thereafter cease and become extin
guished.ta -
--
It fellows from these considerations that the demur
rer is nut well taken. It must be overruled, and the
defendant is ordered to answer the bill within thirty
days from the tiling of the order.
