Philadelphia, with its wealth of revolutionary
"reminiscences, possesses more interest for the
American citizen than any other spot on the
broad face of nature and must therefore at
tract his attention second to no place in the
wide world. Her advancement in commercial
enterprise has been almost commensurate
with her facilities in that direction. Her
railroads radiate in all directions of the com.
pass, and her ships trade in every sea. She
will soon be in scm-inonthly communication
with Liverpool by means of the Ocean Line of
Steamers, which now consists of three first
class vessels. the City Of Baltimore, The
Kangaroo and the City of Manchester, While
a fourth, the City of Washington, will soon be
added. The extent to which domestic man
ufacturcs arc produced in Philadelphia and its
immediate ncighborhood, is almost incredible
to those who have not paid much attention to
the subject. And finally, she is emphaticul
