Levi ID. Slamm, esq, the bold and fearless editor
ofthc New York Globe paid a visit to our goodly
city last week. A number of his political and per-
sona friends, having heard of his arrival, invited
him TO parinke of dinner with them in private
and social way. He met them on Monday last,
and received cordial democratic welcome. In re-
ply to sentiment from the company, Mr.. Samm
presented his thanks in some neat and eloquent re-
marks, and concluded by offering toast 10 favor Of
the administration Of Col. Polk, in which he avowed
the most entire confidence. The party separated in
good season, well pleased with each Other,
The magnetic telegraph between this city and New
York, and that between this city and Harrisburg,
are rapidly progressing, and will be completed and
in operation in few weeks. Mr. Kendall is prose-
cutting this admirable and highly important improve
ment with the utmost vigor F ~
The absence Of all those objects which promote
and encourage wild and reckless speculation, has
opened the way for the investment of capital in safer
and more praiseworthy enterprises. The truth Of
this assertion is illustrated in this city and
county to remarkable degree. The numerous
buildings now in Of erection in Philadelphia
and our beautiful and populous districts, are ex-
tending themselves over q great space. You may
observe the progress Of this most sautary spirit in
all quarters; and have no doubt, unless il should
De arrested by some great national revulsion, the
future will have abundant to be both grateful
and proud.
The agricultural exhibition closed, after being
opened for three days, on Friday last. The display
of neat cattle, sheep, SWINE working oxen, and
working implements, was highly creditable. A
considerable sum of money was distributed in
prizes among those who contributed the best speci-
mems of farming stock and utensils DR.. McClel-
land delivered the Grafton on Thursday, and did
himself great credit. A fine dinner was given by
the society at o'clock on the same day, at which
various eloquent speeches were made. The address
of Morton McMichael, esq., the high sheriff of this
county, was full Of ability and wit, and produced
quite sensation. ~ s6 8 NtJsF9 M I
A correspondent in yesterdays Pennsylvanian
makes suggestion, which do not doubt will be
carried out later. Ii is that Of uniting the
three great northern districts Of Spring Garden
Northern Liberties, and Kensingon, the present
population of which is nearly 10000, under a city
charter. This proposal shows the rapid progress
of Philadelphia and the adjacent districts; and have
no doubt it would be promptly and universally
coded to, il the several districts were upon an
equality so far as their debts are concerned--North
ern Liberties being nearly out of debt, while Spring
Garden and Remington have numerous heavy re-
sponsibilities incurred in their various municipal
improvements.
