South Of Milford.
NEAR MILFORD, DEL, June 18th, 1868.
Rev. L. G. LOCKWOOD: Dear Sn:-I am
happy to bear my testimony to the desirable
ness of this section of Delaware for residence
and agricultural purposes. The land about
here is rapidly improving in culture and en-
HANGING in value. The farm now owned and
titled by me, has trebled itself in value in five
years. 1t is now capable ofproducing highly
remunerative crops. And all the land in this
part of the State is very susceptible of i'm
provement. 1t needs only the northern sys-
tenn of cultivation to make this land produce
equal to any in the country.
I can also testify that northern people are
here kindly treated, and there are number
settled in this vicinity from Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, and there is room and welcome
for more, from whatever State they my come
Yours with best wishes for the enterprise,
STUART WALTON.

pAEhOMs
At the meeting in New York, on Friday
evening, called in complement to the Missouri
delegation, Mr.. Bryant concluded his speech
as follows:
have read letter this very day-a letter
from person whose, name, if were to mem
ton it, would carry authority, assurance, ac-
quiescence, and conviction upon all that should
read tin which he says all those negroes
who were made free, who were treated like
freemen, paid wages, allowed to provide for
their families-that they now work better,
more to the profit of those from whom they
receive wages, and in all respects preserve
more respectful department than ever before.
He goes on to say that all planters say this,
and that if things were worked right in Loui-
siana, within year that State would take her
place among the free States of the Union,
with the entire consent of all who inhabit
within her limits. He goes further than this
he says that over all the South, in every
part of the slave States the change, the tran
sition from absolute and universal slavery to
universal and instantaneous emancipation,
might take place with even less of violence
and confusion than a tax law could be changed
in Northern State. Applause. Such is
his testimony-7a most valuable testimony.
1t seems to me to settle the question, Grad
ual emancipation Have we not suffered mis-
chief enough from slavery without keeping it
any longer? Has not blood enough been
shed? Are not the pools ofblood deep enough9
My friends, if your child was to fall in the fire
would you pull him out gradually? Laugh
ter. If he were to take dose of laudanum
sufficient to cause speedy death, and a stom-
ach pump were at hand, would you draw the
poison off by degrees? Ifyour house were on
fire would you put it out gradually2 Laugh
ter. And yet there are men who talk OF
gradual emancipation by force Of ancient hab-
it, and there are men in the slave States who
make of,slavery sort of idol which they are
unwilling to part with, which, if it must be
removed, they would prefer to see itremoved
after lapse of time and tender leave-takings.
Slavery is foul and monstrous idol, jug
gernapt under which thousands of lives are

children of the land pass through fire. Must
we consent that the number of the victims
shall be gradually diminished? If there are
thousand victims this year, are you willing
that nine hundred should be sacrificed next
year, and eight hundred the next, and SO on
until after the lapse of ten years it shall
cease? No, my friends, let us hurl this grim
image from its pedestal. Down with it to the
ground. Cheers.] Dash it to fragments;
trample it in the dust, [Applause.] Grind
it to powder, as the prophets Of old demanded
that the. craven images of the Hebrew idola-
tors should be ground, and in that state scat
ter it to the four winds, and throw it upon the
waters, that no human hand shall ever again
gather up the accused atoms and mold it into
an image to be worshipped again with sacri-
fees of human life. Loud and prolonged APP
plause.

Del, June nth, 1868.
Rev. L. G. LOCKWOOD, Dear Sir: am
happy to see you using your exertions to in
troduce northern settlers into this section of
Delaware. Within the last five years real
estate has advanced fifty per cent, in value,
owing to there being number of such set
tiers located here. The different modes of
tilling the soil has already begun to tell with
the original residents. Lime and grass seeds
are more generally used, and the effects have
been surprising. Our land is much kinder
and more easily titled than that of Pennsyl-
vania or New York. In fact there is as much
difference as between the fertile and easily
cultivated soil of some sections of those States,
and the barren and rugged soils of some parts
of New England. The country, too, is healthy,
situated as it is between the bays of Delaware
and Chesapeake, with the Atlantic on the
southeast. And with a sandy loan soil, no
country is better adapted to the cultivation
of peaches and other fruits and early market
able vegetables. The citizens here are very
kind and obliging to northern settlers, as l
can testify, having removed here from Penn
sylvania myself. Wishing you great success
in your undertaking,
am yours, &C.,
SPENCER SHOEMAKER.

MILFORD, DEL, june 18th, 1868.
Rev. L. G. LOCKWOOD: Dear Sir-The pro-
position to introduce northern men into the
lower counties of Delaware, if carried ont,
cannot but result in good to them and advan-
tage to the State. Since the use of lime has
become common, and more perfect system
of agriculture introduced, the health of this
country has been good. In resident Of
nearly four years, with a large family, we
have not had case of fever, or chills and
fever. In addition to health, there are num-
erous other inducements to a settlement here.
II is generally thought in the north that
there is a strong prejudice against that sec
ton. have not found it so. The people to
say the least, are as kind and hospitable as
those of any other section; in fact, the entire

DEAR SIR: During the night of May 10, 1863
our Grocery and Provision Store, at North Second
and Willow streets, took fire at about o'clock
A. NJ, and as the store was a two-story wood
building it burnt rapidly, and before the fire.
engines could act upon the fire. our whole stock of
goods, including much combustible material, and
amounting to over $4,000 was wholly de-
stroyed. We had one of your No. IL Chilled Iron
Safes which was in the hottest part of the fire. and
it came out of the fire not in the least injured ex-
cept the melting off of the name, plate and paint
The contents inside were not affected in the least,
and we consider the Safe just as good protection
against fire now as before, and shall it hereafter
with increased confidence.
