FOR THE WATCH MAN,
LINE OF P.4CRETS
TO PLY BETWEEN
NEW YORK AND WILMINGTON,

Let il be distinctly understood, that this measure
is intended TO cut off the present trade to Phadel-
pha; * retaatory of the many injuries experienced
BE- the citizens OF Wilmington from the determined
hostility, and selshness of the citizens of the for
mer place as manifested not only in the location
OF the Delaware and Chesapeake canal, but in every
public as well private act, in reference to the two
places.
1t is computed, that this place pays TO fhiatsf4
phia between one and 100000 OF dollars annually,
of monies gotten by industry and perseverance
And it is asked what has Wilmington ever received
in return? And why should trade thus beneh-
cia to Philadelphia and materially injurious to Will
mington, continue /?
1t will be remembered that this trade costs Will
mington at least ten per cent on the whole amount
OF business transacted between the two places ard
realizes Tor Philadelphia profit OF 100000 dollars
annually. But this is not the only loss Sustained
10y Wilmington in this trade. Whena merchant
comes from The country to procure supply OF goods,
he reflects, that it will cost him but So so to visit
the head of the market, where he not only meets
with more extensive assortment, but expects to
save The Wilmington profit. The laws, too, of
Pennsylvania, are such TO encourage deception
and fraud OF every species and Wilmington has
lost, within the last twenty years, nearly half mil
lion OF dollars by making bad debts in Philadelphia
whilst Philadelphia, within the same time, and in
The same way, has not lost 10000 dollars by vii
mington.
The advantages TO be derived from trade with
New York may be manifested in a variety of ways.
But particularly by giving us a brisk and steady
market Tor orr produce and manufactures, and by
enabling US to compete with Philadelphia and thus
ensuring to ourselves extension Of trade, to
Ibe acquired, or expected, in any other way.
WILMINGTON.
American watchman and Delaware advertiser. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1822-1828, 1824-03-02

We have received another communication on the same
subject with the above and in which The writers speak
ing of the conduct of the citizens of Philadelphia towards
those of Wilmington, says
"Pursuing the policy of individual who, con.
scious OF his own want oexcelience strives TO main.
tain his standing and consequence not by rising su.
perior to Others but by depressing all others below
his own level their course of conduct toward US has
been invariably guided by mean and ungeperous
jealousy"
Speaking Of the advantages that would accrue to vii.
mington by dverng trade from its present channel,
and carrying into effect the object in contemplation, the
writer remarks
"By opening direct trade with New York. the
situation of that Port the greater command OF cap
ita and the superior degree of enterprise which am
imates its merchants, will render Wilmington the
point of communication between the Peninsula and
that great commercial city, and will draw TO
much of the trade which is carried on directly
between other places and Philadelphia and from
the rank ofhunlbis dependants we shall become the
rivals aud competitors Of the Philadelphians; be-
cause we shall be enabled to enter the market with
them upon fair and equal footing. And We shalt
not be subject to the operation OF the Uhite-
7cashing laws of Pennsylvania, which, judging from
their effects, one would be almost tempted to be-
lieve were expressly framed to encourage fraud and
yisiny.
In short, this dverting of our trade into new
channel will not only be serious punishment to
our most inveterae enemies, but will in the end
be productive Of solid and lasting advantages to
the trading interest of the Borough.
The interests of New York and Wilmington will
be the same. Every thing which tends to increase
our importance will increase the trade Of that CRY,
and consequently will be there regarded with ayora
Bile eyes. We shall there meet with liberaltY and
friendly feeling to which we have heretofore been
unaccustomed

IN SENATE.
4 m motion OF Mr.. Barbour, the Senate, in Com
ctee fthe whole, Mr. panD yte in the Chair, pro.
ceeded to consider the bill reported by the Judica
w Committee for the relief Of Francis Henderson,
T. 1t will be recollected, from our former reports,
hat this bill grants certain sum OF money 10 Mr.
Henderson, who is the grand OF the late Col.
John Laurens, for diplomatic and military services
rendered to the country by his grandfather. Mr..
Harbour moved 10 amend the bill, by inserting a
Droviso, requiring, previous to the payment OF the
money, full REIMBURSEMENT OF all claims Tor these
services on The part OF Francis and Frances E. Hen
derson the father and mother of the person TOR
whose relief the bill is drawn Upon the question
IN amend the merits Of the bill itself were fully dis
cussed.
The bill was supported on the grounds, that the
claim was one OF strict lustice-that the money was
actuay.due for military services rendered by Col
Laurens and for outfits, which ought to have been
allowed him in his diplomatic character when ap-
pointed special minister to France; and that the
objection made to paying the money to the grand
son. instead Of the daughter OF COL Lsurens, would
be obviated by the adoption of the amendment re-
curing the sanction Of Mr. and Mrs. Henderson
preyous 10 the payment OF the money.
Ii was objected against the passage oil The bill, that
COL Laurens, although he had rendered high and
valuable services to the country, had received all
the compensation that he had wished or expected
for those services that the length OF time which
had elapsed ought to be considered as bar to all
such claims and that, if the claim were allowed at
all, the money should be paid to the daughter and
not to the grandson Of COL Laurens.
The amendment proposed by MIR. Harbour was
carried He then moved to fill the blank in the bill
for The amount to be granted with "S7542 Az"
This motion was reected-l4 ayes, % noes Con
sidering this last vote decisive of the fate OF the
bill, Mr.. harbour moved its indefinite postpone

neve, the result may be considered as correct.
from our remote counties we have not vet

having left home before, or on the morning of
