PHILADELPHIA MATTERS.

To MERCHANTS AND OrHERs.-It is now a
settled fact that our merchants and traders can
lay in their stocks on at least as advantageous
terms in PHILADELPHIA, Is in NEW YORK, and
that the time and expense Of going beyond
the former city for that purpose, is 90 much
thrown away. This is a fact concerning
which there is now no longer any doubt in the
minds of posted dealers. And - it is now the
time for ordering summer goods, We have Sc
lected, and append, for the convenience Of our
merchants, &c., the cards of some Of the prin-
cipal establishments in the different depart
ments of business in that city, whose pro-
prietors are TO be relied on for doing the
handsome thing, whether receiving orders in
person or by mail. Any of them will prompt
ly and faithfully attend to all orders by mail
or otherwise, and can be relied on as being
governed strictly by the rules Of mere antile
honor. Those contemplating purchasing in
that direction would do we'll to cut this de.
partment out and preserve it for reference.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The I1tefLIgencer, referring to the bill of
Mr.. Toombs for the settlement of the difficult
ties in Kansas, says:
"This bill, it will be recoIleeted. proposes
that census Of the inhabitants shall be taken,
under the direction of the Secretary of State,
by commissioners appointed for the purpose,
and that none but actual residents of the Ter
rit0ry are to be counted. Provision is then
made for q fair and impartial election of dele
gates to State Convention to form a consti.
tuition preparatory TO admission into the Union
Mr.. Stephens has announced his intention to
introduce a similar measure into the House.
Mr. Clayton's plan has been already given.
These movements by southern gentlemen in
dictate that proper concern has been awak-
sned, not only for the peace of Kansas, but Of
the Union. 1t is impossible to conceal the
fact that an urgent necessity exists for early
pacifcation, and the country ut large cannot
but be gratifed at the promise of q prompt
disposition of the subject. The committee Of
the Senate is expected to make a report with
out delay, the chairman having indicated
such a purpose when the reference was made. -
The same paper publishes the proceedings
of . meeting of the Kansas border counties of
Missouri, wherein statements are made to dis
prove many Of the allegations against the So
called Border Rufians" that have found
their way into that journal Also, letter
from an old Missouri subscriber, complaining
bitterly Of the leaniDgs Of the Inteiligencsr
to the Free State party in Kansas, which con-
clusion he draws from the alleged habit Of
that journal in seeking its Kansas news from
the st. Louis Democrat and other such sheets
The editor defends bis course in calm and
digrifed way, cOntending that his Kansas
news is not made up in q partizan spirit. lie
trusts that the forthcoming report from the
Investigating Committee of the House will
soon solve the mystery of who may be in the
wrong there. Apropos! This can hardly be
the result Of the labors of that committee, be-
cause they we're clearly directed to the end
OF obtaining testimony to serve a psrtizan Do.
litieal purpose; not the cause of justice as in.
vowed In the troubles in Kansas
The Union compliments highly the speech
delivered yesterday in the Senate on the Ka1
sas question by Mr.. Foster. Its strength Of
reasoning, conservatism, grace, and temper
by the by, are just now being lavishly praised
by men Of all parties in Washington
