philadelphia is admirably situated for the
trade Of the South and 1t should be our aim TO
engross it in a greater degree than we now do.

merchants, whenever the matter is properly
presented to them, and if more of them do not
come here, it is because their custom is never
sought by our travellers. They often 20 from
the far South to New York, TO purchase goods
which are made in Philadelphia, thus paying
higher prices than they could get them for

srners TO ind out for themselves. Let our
business men send out their statesmen to the
