The man who stands upun his own soil,

in which hO lives, by tho laws of civilized
nations, he is the rightful and exclusive
owner of tho land which he tills, is, by
the constitution Of our nature under a
wholesome Influence, not easily imbibed
from any other source. He feels, other
things being equal, more strongly than
another the character Of man as the lord
of the inanimate world. Of the great
and wonderful sphere. which, fashioned
by the hand Of God, and upheld by his
power, is rolling through The heavens, IA

Grafton before him moved in its round of

ed him, as he is also, with those to whom
he is to transmit home. Perhaps his
farm has come to him from his fathers;
they have gono 10 their last home, but he
can taco their footsteps over the scenes
Of his daily labors. The roof which
shelters him was reared by those to whom
! he owes his being. Sumo interesting

PHILADELPHIA THE LARGEST Cry IN
THE UNIoN.-The editor of the N. 0.
Bulletin, who re ecently spent some weeks
in Philadelphia, has, since his return
home, more than once alluded 10 the rap.
id increase of its population, and stated
that in that respect, Philadelphia is over
taking, if it has not already overtaken,
New York. He arrived at this conclu-
sion, not only from various circumstances
and facts that came to his knowledge,
but also from personal observation. After
referring to the last census of the taxa
BILE inhabitants, and comparing it with
previous ones, he says;-
The census Of 1850, we have no doubt
will snow that Philadelphia is the Iarg'
est city in the Union, and that she has u
greater population than any city in Eu
rope--London, Paris, and Moscow only
excepted.
