Prospects OF the Fall Season for Business.
Preparations are already In progress by the mer-
chants, manufacturers, and traders of this city, for
al great and extraordinary increase Of business du-
ring the approaching autumn. The immense crops
OF last year, and the prospect of still greater one
this season, give great stimulus to business opera
tions, and will lead to the concentration of vas,
amount of the trade of the whole country in the
city of New York.
During the recent revival of business, Boston has
made great advances in wealth, prosperity and
population. But we believe in spite of the advan.
tages possessed by that city in the way of railroads
and steamship lines, that New York is going abe ad
much more rapidly than Boston, or any other city
IN the Union, excepting, perhaps New Orleans
We have heard it stated that a vast portion oi
the capital invested in business in Philadelphia.
will be soon transferred to this city The bad
management of the financial affairs of the Stale OF
Pennsylvania, and the want of good local gov
ernment in Philadelphia itself, together with the
feeling OF insecurity created by the late deplorabe
events there, have been the causes OF this contem-
plated movement on the part of many of the most
extensive men of business in that beautiful city.
New York is destined therefore, from variety
OF causes-from the misfortunes of other cities
from the partial success Of attempted rivalry
from the extended lines Of internal connection
which connect II with all parts OF the interior-to
advance In commercial greatness and prosperity
with rapdty of which no one can now form any
adequate conception. We see symptoms of tn
growing Importance every where And certainly
the merchants and traders, and all others actively
engaged in the pursuits of the great commercial
emporium, cannot find any other mode of commu.

The PARTY Press AND THE PHILADELPHIA RI
OTIS Ts-Yesterday the Courier and Enquirer actual
ly mustered courage enough to say something
about the Philadephia riots. But its article or
this important subject was as amusing specimen
of sneaking cowardice and empty verbosity, as has
ever been mani ested by that print, which is GER
tainly giving the article credit for toerable nfu
sion OF the characteristic qualities just mentioned
II was merely vague, unmeaning, piece of deca-
nation about mob violence 1t did not make the
slightest approach to an investigation Of the causes
Of these terrible transactions and could not posi-
bly, have any moral effect whatever
The party organs Of the democratic faction are
still quite silent. The Epening psf and Plebeiav
are still mum. The albany Eusning Journal il
equally mute. The truth, as we stated yesterday
these mere party organs dare not take up this SUBJ
ject the independent press have taken it up
The Courier, in conjunction with the Epening
Journal, was very instrumental in fomenting the
bad passions of the opposing sects, and tanning
them into blaze. These prints had very i'm.
portant agency in the Carroll Hall movement
Hence the ready explanation Of their silence now
as they cannot condemn the work of their owr
hands. Besides, they dare not say word agains

And the Irish equally to be respected for The
same reason The Evening Post and other news
paper hacks OF tina. party are in the same predica

soul to the service Of faction, those party presses
are utterly incapable Of exercising the slightes,
moral influence on the community.
How different our course, and that of the indie.

honesty! We have examined this question in al
its bearings. Whenever blame was merited, we
