humanities A. embodied IN slaveholdfS- ms dh'"e-
.,,st Le;ro the Rev. AtEam Pryne Of Courtand
Countv. y. Y. editor of The C.Htrat hJorraer.
The discussion opened on tuesday evening, 'n
rreserce Of al audience Of some 600 pors0n-,
many Of our prominent men being present, but
spiy a dozen women. The parson being afflicted
with bronchitis. was compelled 10 have his remark
read BY another. But first came the correspond
ence between him and Mr.. Pryne which led to this
public display. II was treat 10 hear 1t read. II
seems that Mr. Pryne gave the challenge 10 dis
cess. Thereupon the pars0n wrote TO hm asking.
What church are you connected with Next,
" Are you a white man. or a gentleman OF color
The last end most vital fact being ascertaiDed, Il
long correspondence followed, touching the terms
and place Of the discussion. The parson opens the
ball and the speeches are limited 20 al hour each,
the question being, Ought American Slavery 70
be Perpetusted! The whole debate il 10 be
published nnder one cover. hr. Brown0w's
speech was All admirable condensation Of the we'll
known scripturai sanction OF Slavery. He de-
aounced all who differed from I'm vagabond
philanthropists but he kindly condescended 70 also
deDOunce the foreign slaye-tradc. Tie sald the
Of slayeholding communities, AZ the Vrtuods ana
pious people Who lived there were occupied Chiefly
with slave stealing and sayeselllng. II cost less
and paid better As 10 The AbOltOnists, II he
found any OF than in heaven he should think they
cot In by a fraud on the doorkeeper, or were LET in
~ dead heads. The Abolitionlsts-pious withi.--
were nicely mpaled for not letting the negroes GO
INTO an omnibus, raIlcar, steamboat cabin or
white church. They refuse even to have them bu-
ried IN the same graveyard The negro dwelling
IN Philadelphia were infinitely worse than any
ave-quarters he had ever seen; and such pleas
az these were the staple Of lis address. IL was
listened 10 with attention, and was sometimes ap-
plauded. Mr.. BrownlOw ID probably fifty years
sd, OF tall stature, cadayerOus skin ungainly fea
tares, and If evidently suffering from i'll health
Bat really, 10 look at him any one might be sworn
he was q stakeholder.
Mr. Pryne came forward as the Parson SAT
Down chunky sort Of man, well put together
with black hair, aud true clerical Whskers, in age
about forty. He Rad not been ten minutes on his
teet when il became evident 10 the audience that
Parson Brownow had caught tartar, and got
more than be- bargained for, coming all the way 10
Philadelphia TO boot. Mr.. Pryne's address
most admirable, coniounding by It's pungcncy. and
excOrsting as the lash of the slave-driyer. No
description could do justice 10 it, nor 10 the ANNA
ted zeal with which he threw his whole soul into
The subject. He is evidently an honest, cOnseen-
Iious man, and will do good wherever he opens
LIE mouth. His elocution was very chaste and
,orrcct, bis gestures graceful, and he sat down at
he close of bis hour amid the hearty plaudits of the
audience. But this was only the beginning of his
The second evening larger audience
HAs assembled, and still larger one on the third
On this occasion the Parson seemed to be ex-
Aausted of argument, and went In for rdiculing
he Abotionsts and Northern people, Ysnkees IN
particular. But Mr.. Pryne literally crushed him
sst Why IL seemed to me, that his head was =
dictionary OF statistics. He had facts and figures
On every subject, North and South, with iuency
and point that astonished the audience Certainly
never heard anything like IL. He WAS cheered
70 long and loudly as 10 cause him 10 beg his hear
sre TO cease. az they consumed too much OF his
hour. When he closed, the hail rang with deaf
pning accamati0ns. and strangers rushed m
crowds 10 shake hands and become better ac-
suainted with this eloquent champion Of Freedom.
1t was a brilliant success.
