but objectionable in him, to intrude his unpremedi

which they had not only heard, but felt. Applause.

We perceive the Aurora mentions the imitation of
the Wilmington Strife sent out from England this
season, to put down that branch of manufactures il

viii not succeed. But this spirit OF trade it appears
We initiate very well Our storekeepers go to Phi.
ladelpha and buy soap and candles, we are inform.
ed, oil very inferior quality, and then sell them at
the same rice to the citizens which they charge for
the best, and at much higher rate than they are
sold at in the factories here, OF quality infinitely
superior They frequently make their soap and
candles at Philadelphia, OF salt butter, Stush c and
then cover them with coating of allow; and our
siorekeepers buy them there and they are palmed
oil on our citizens the best of Philadelphia arti-
ces We are informed several boxes of such can
dies have been sent to our factories and sold to be
made into soap, at less than half cost. We believe
we do not exaggerate when we say that one pound
OF the soap made at Mr. Rays factory here, will 90
as far pound and half of the soap generally
sold in Philadelphia; and yet strange to tell we are
informed there is only or two stores in this Dac
that deal at that factory. They all go to Philadel
phia; and thus Wilmington is content TO log down
hill as fast possible. But we say our citizens
ought to set their faces against this kind OF proceed
ing and buy OF our own factories only ;-especialy
when they Can buy cheaper Of them than the store.
Keepers; and thus support them instead of aiding
to do them an injury | have understood that the
reason assigned by several OF the storekeepers WHY
they have preferred going to Philadelphia instead
OF dealing at Mr. Rays factory here, was that he
sold three pound OF soap candles to the citizens
at tire wholesale price heartily wish he would
therefore, sell one pound at the same rate. This
would be returning Rowland for an Oliver.
