We have thus an aggregate population OF
about $4,000, distributed into ten parts. The
ground taken is that, with the exception of
Buffalo and New York, (and we may include
Brooklyn) these places are being ruined by
the policy Of building up great cities, which
prevails in this State. From 1850 to 1853 the
population Of Buffalo increased from 10000 to
10000, Rochester from $4,000 10 $4,000, SYRIA

We thus have an aggregate Of 40, 1000
as the population of the principal cities Of
Pennsylvania; and we have to note an increase
Of Lancaster, up to 1853, Of 1000, and of Har-
risburg of about 700. 1t appears, then, that
''ihe policy that looks to trade" If it has any
force at all as destroyer Of "intcrior villages
and towns" is applicable to the State Of Penn
sylvania, and not to New York. How long will
il take such policy, with such fruits before
us, to transfer empire TO our ncighborss But
again: Poor Virginia--we dare say she IL a

irrecoverablc fall. New York is in decline,

two Seward organs that what is meat for US
is poison for the Old Dominion. Ohio is in
the same category with Virginia, employing
only $4,000 in commerce, trade, manufactures,
mechanic arts and mining, while in agriculture
she has enlisted 100000.
Now, with all this flourish over the certain
"decline Of the Empire State, by reason of
the concentration Of its labor in the channels
Of trade, and the destruction of its interior
villages and towns" the proof is incontestable
that there is more perfect distribution of en-
Payments among our people than in any other
State Of the American Union. IL is quite like
ly that we are largely indebted for this to the
peculiar natural advantages we enjoy as a
commercial, agricultural and manufact turing
community but it is also evident that we have
made the best of our resources; and we see
no reason for believing that the future will
render us an account of our decline Penn
sylvania is a great State, and the Philadelphia
press is very remarkable for transferring domi-
MON from its neighbors to itself. 1t was the

apparent that its editors have lost little Of their
propensity for big talk and good, round, swell

many Of them and their newspaper organs,
not satisfied with the two-faced soft she'll Sy-
racuse resolutions, have been going over to the
Seward and Preston King ticket The Cabinet
organ ought to know, too, that the Prince has
been doing his best to reclaim these deserters,
and was compelled to present them the temp
tations of the old Buffalo platform as the true
Interpretation Of his late Syracuse resolutions.
And this he has been doing in order that the
administration may have respectable minori-
ty, at least in our approaching election. In
this light we repeat, the ingratitude of the
Kitchen Cabinet and its organ is inexplicable.
But the Prince, after all, is scarcely entitled
