Queen, Well, sGod sare the Queen" who seems

A Manufacturing city.
The Baltimore Patriot has an article on the ad
vnntages which Baltimore possesses for manu-
featuring city, In which 1t says: "Give Us renewed
energy 10 mechanical or industrial pursuits, with
the establishment Of manufactures to produce In
Baltimore every kind of material outwrought by
artistic Skill and will not only point to speedy
improvement in the moral tone of society, but
show to the world city characterized for its in
siostry, sobsety, internal wealth, thrift and enva
hle renown, marching on with rapid strides to q
ntiil higher elevation" In the same article, the
Patriot says that whilst it admires the ambition
and eneggy which have prompted citizens of Bal
timors to use all udsbe efforts in rivalry With the
Empire metropolis for commercial distinction and
position II must look upon the nope of ultimate sue
cess as futile and far distant SIT is clear says the
Patriot, land all past history establishes the fact
that there can DO but one commanding, centraliz-
ing. regulating commercial emporium, or centre.
i'm COT ntry. The immutable laws Of trade, prov
iisntial or some great political revo-
iutions, may, for tiHie, or even permanently,
change the locality, but these do not affect the
principle. London may be designated the financial
regulator of the world, whilst Liverpool holds
commercial sway over England. New York, from
her geographical position, her seaboard and mari
time advantages, added to which are CON-
manding facilities of internal trade, has.
from the force of circumstances, grown into
greatness. This growth was resstless--it
sprung spontaneously, defying all opposition

same may be said of London aud every other lead

upon some one conservative point or leading

London, is TO finances. and Liverpool to maritime
commerce The attempt to rob these places of
their peculiar prestige, would not only be folly,
but labor spent in vain."
We commend the views of the Patriot TO our own

manufacturing industry than commercial enter
