Letter from PhiIa dolphin.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ., l-i-.
My DEAR Nix. GREELEY: We are not altogetb-
err pleased Nth your Tribune tor giving the goby to
our rectangular city In your slices" We IN fact con
slider ourselves As M subjects tor literary dissection as
even New York itself; and rejecting that The Tr6nHe
is read in Philadelphia regularly and as extensively
as our own papers, we don't see why we shouldn /
have Philadelphia in Slices as well a. " New-iork in
Slices" In short determined that Il shall be so,
and have been appointed Committee OF One to see
it carried into effect that, If no one else does II,
you may look out for some Slices OF my own. II
nobody else will undertake the job willard no
mistake.
Perhaps you think have fitting subjects for
good sayory, piqusnt Slices here You were never
more erandy mistaken. Not to mention our double
distilled Arstocracy, literary and scientific Chques,
our Quaker Societies Clubs and fashionable young
men, we have Bhoys As well as you and, although
we hive no Delmoncos yet we have A Dandursnds
and Peleiiers either of which shrewdy suspect, 10
unite as good. Our markets, toby far the most
abundant and tidy in the Union or the Unverse-would
furnish many juicy Slice. Then there's state House
Row with lts cOrruptiOns and dark passages US india
rubber fees and solid brick hOOrs-and the Illuminated
Clock with It's quizzicsl face that nobody can under
stand the meaning of-and the Man with the Military
Wslk-and and so forth. Why my dear fIbanT
your Sicer would reye in good things If he would only
come over here Send him along, and wei quarter
him the United states or Joness, where Mitchell or
West will keep him upon the fat OF the land and he
shall have the freedom OF the city In tin box, (sll
