RECEIPTS OF CUSTOMS AT New ORLEANS AND
PurLADELrHIA.-The city of brotherly love. as
Philadelphia was called in the ancient days of the
republic, isa very large town, as we have some
reason to know, and its inhabitants generally take
great deal of pride in the city in which they live
and the fourth estate men labor with great zeal
and untiring perseverance to show that the Quaker
City, so-called before the wal, lis, all things con
sldered, the greatest place on the continent, and
Tor more years than we remember have snubbed
the pretensions of those cities known as the En-
pire and the Hub Of the Universe-New York ana
Boston. y " eur 10" = u 4.'" -Net 'H' Els 7Pl
Phlladelphia disdained rivalry with other ports,
and OF course, by doing SO, showed bad taste and |
worse Judgment Now we don't want to set our /
selves up against any other concern, being per |
fectly satisfied that we stand upen good footing,
and knowing that our destiny is to go ahead in the
grandest sense of that expressive, but not class
cal expression. Our Northern contemporaries speak
boastfuy of the great customs revenues which the
Treasury has acquired during the month of January
last amongst them Philadelphia. The recepts at |
that port amounted to s5Os, ,6l3 It gives us great /
pleasure to have tn to request our friends
up there to give us due credit figure atiyely and i
otherwise and to say that we can 60 it about one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars better than
that. Just before the close of January we stated
that the customs receipts would exceed 5000 900.
The figures, as we are informed by Judge Kcl. 4
ogg, Collector of the Port of New Orleans,
.eached $667, 900. We ask in a modest manner tn
oe allowed to take rank accordingly. II afi
