THE BoARD or 7RADE.

The City Of Wilmington, in its collective
character, has certain personal, selfish, in
tcrests, as distinguished from those of the
rest of the world Ii is the prosperity Of
individuals which makes mp she general
welfare, of course, hut individual prosperity
can, to great degree, be secured by the CO.
operative, organized effort of all. A pull
altogether will lAove that which remains
undisturhcd when We pull one at a time.
Reasoning like this induces the establish
inent of a Board Of Trade, which is now be-
ing put into operation with so encouraging
and hopeful prospects. The work for such
an organization TO perform is almost inf
mite it will increase and develop contin-
ually with the extension Of the city. AT
present, numerous important public enter
prises wait for the strong hand of co-opera
tive effort to push them forward. Among
them we may instance the clearing of the
Christiana channel, and the survey and lie
velopment of the harbor; the location o
piers on or near the river front; the cstah
lishmcni Of more frequent ferry communi
cation with New Jersey; the provision o
better hotel accommodations, and SO on
All these are enterprises in which the Who'll,
city, every man, woman and child of i'll
population, is interested 10 accomplish
them will be for the common ADVANTAGE q
all, and to effect their accomplishment ant
that of many kindred objects is the idea o
those who have moved in the establishmer
Of the Board Of Trade. Other cities hay
long ago learned the benefits to be derive
from unity Of effort, and the Board
Trade is in many an institution as importa
and indispensable as the City Council.
the future of this city we feel sure il w
fill prominent place and exercise gre
influence in behalf of our material interest
Portland, Maine, one of the most entc
prising cities Of the country, ascribes i
marvellous growth and increase Of the pa
few years, very much to the unity of acti,
secured by the establishment Of its Board
Trade The Portland merchants and ma
ufacturers make common cause and lab
shoulder to shoulder in NIL public enterpris,
Let lis do the same.

Circulation of CITY Newspapers.

The Republican,, of Monday, abiding to the re-
cent claims made by the Gd-rae in reference to
circulation, says:-
The above paragraph appeared in the tiu.ede of
Friday. The editor knew when he pcnncd it that
it was utterly untrue. There arc not 1000 copies
of the gazette printed for any regular edition,
while there are over $500 copies OF the REruBII-
CAN printed every week for Thursdays edition.
The RtlaJlicaR was the only paper in the State
that paid tax upon advertisements when such
| INK was required by the Government from papers
whose circulation exceeded 20oD. The editor of
the Gazette boastcd nj that time of having larger
circulation than any other paper in the State and
| on being called on by the Assistant Assessor in
regard to the matter, he stated that liz had moi
20O0 subscribers, and was consequently not re.
quircd to pay a Ia upon his advertisements. TIL,
officer called his attention toa claim similar u
the one at the head this paragraph when he re
piled that what he said in his paper and what III
was prepared To say under oath, was an cntirel,
different matter. We leave the public TO judg
what confidence can be placed upon his statement
in regard to this or any other matter where hi
interests the interests of his party are involved
we have not been in the habit of Boosting of til
circulation Of the REFrBIiGAS, although We M
fully satied that il exceeds that of any three {

pIfILADELPHIIS COMMERCIAL
DECAY.

The departure of her commerce from
Philadelphia has long been self-eyident
proceeding, but the extent to which she has
suffered, becomes by comparison with New
York, more and more plain Whether any
of her atoretime Impotence as u CONNER
cia city is ever to be regained, is yet to be
seen, but at present the Philadelphians are
resolving to he satisfied with their character
us the great industrial metropolis, and to
rely for prosperity upon their manufactures
1t is indeed probably true, that the
strength of their city now rests almost en-
iirely upon its producing industry, and very
little upon its commercial transactions.
These facts are important, in no small dc
gree to Wilmington. The growth OF this
city, formerly absorbed by our great neigh
Dor, is now sufficiently far progressed to be
almost independent of her influence. So
| far as manufactures are concerned, we al
| ready produce more in proportion to oul
population, than Philadelphia, and are pro
badly not exceeded in this respect by amy
city of the Union. In respect to commerce
the day for Wilmington's growth has come
Two of the greatest objections to Philadel
plias commercial importancc-thc ice il
winter, and distance from the sea-w
obviate, the former practically altogether,an
the latter 10 large degree. If PHILADELPHIA
wants an exterior port of entry better tina
her own, let her look to Wilmington. Jerse
City is about TO grow for itself and must a
ways be under New York influence, Will
this city can never be inimical to Philade
phia, for our interests are identical.

Tur PLAIN STYLE OF SPEECH in General
Grants communications to the President
cause the friends of the letter to be very sor-
nv that the great soldier ever spoke at all. The
New York Day Book,a journal Of The rabid
sort, calls him "dead goose and says "ht
dis like the silent fool who was found ou
.the first time he spoke. Ii he had contin
sued to hold his tongue, there was grea
danger that the Democratic party wouit
sshave made an ass of itself by nominating
shin. But he has put that party beyond
sthc danger of sucha calamity.
That letter of Grant concerning Sheridan
removal was like the campaign before Rich
mond-it took all the fighting spirit ava
from the Democracy. The Gazette, OF Til
city, has not instructed us about the Ger
erals position, since.

The New York Dai5 B0ltti", Of Saturday
says
There is still an important movement OF cur
rency Westwari although in some quarters i is
represented ms less than that of last week. The
Chicago papers report Il continued active demand
for money from the grain dealers. The banks Of
that city are represented ms being disinclincd to
grant further accommodation TO the local grain
merchants. Their advances for moving the
crops have been very large, and, owing to the
large supplies and the anxiety of farmers to real
izr ON ticit crops ut the present high prices,
there Is still MI active demand for help. The
banks, however, are disposed to take stand and
compel the East 10 forward funds for the pur-
chase Of any further grain II may require. II
does moi, however, follow that the Fast will take
the desired course. Thcalnount ui grain already
forwarded is very large; and Eastern dealers vii
probably halt until the effect Of the present sup
plies upon the market j. fairly tested.

FOR TIE WHOLE PENINSULA.

The Agricultural Society has made 4 move
in the right direction, in throwing open Their
premium list for the best horses, at their
coming exhibition in this city, on the 10TH,
10th and It'll of this month, TO all owners
residing in this State OF the Eastern shore :
that is the whole Peninsula In all other
respects the premium list is open to all conf
pelitors without restriction as TO residence
We have alluded to this as move in the
right direction, but il is not all We wish soon
| to see done. An earnest effort should be
made by our agriculturists TO establish a
Peninsula Agricultural Society, which
| should have exhibitions open in all respects
to the inhabitants, stock and products OF the
whole Peninsula, without regard to State
| lines. We believe the interests of the people
| of this Peninsula are identical in all re-
spects, bnt in agriculture there is a complete
| identity of interests so evident to all that
| there are none TO doubt it.
The peninsula is the garden OF the East,
with climate and and soil differing but
| slightly through its length and breadth. 1t
is the natural home of the Peach, the grape,
the melon and the sweet potato, while ii is
well adapted to the production Of cereals
Its wealth is increasing from year 10 year
its lands are, under intelligent cultivation
increasing in richness, while rcpaying il
immediate products the care expended upol
them. immigration is pouring in upon il
and it is, in short, just entering upon neN
era of prosperity such as it has never befor
enjoyed.
Now then is the time when it should re
cognize the identity of It's interests, in on
respect at least, and stimulate eXerlo

THE HIGH DEGREE OF RESPECT which Pres
ilent johnson entertains for the Constitution
is being admirably illustrated in Philadel-
phia. The Court of Quarter Sessions there
has served writ Of hdbeas corpus, on
Commodore Selfridge, commandant of the
Navy Yard, to produce the person of a boy,
alleged to be improperly enlisted This,
Selfridge refuses TO do, defies the court, de-
flies the law, deiies the habeas corpus, de
fies the Constitution, and Secretary Welles
supports him, directing linn to resist any civil
process with all his force. There is no MAI
in the Cahinc, so subservicnt to his maste
as Welles, and the conclusion is ineyitabl
that johnson is once more exhibiting hi
contempt for his professions of fidelity to til
Constitution. There is, however, no LAY
against lying, in this country.

The WAY TO pay Much speaking and
writing have been done on the finances and
currency during this canvass, and yet we
see no reason TO change the opinions we
formed ut the close OF the war, nor to aban-
don the system we then laid, and which we
have ever since advocated. This was To let
the amount Of currency remain fixed as il
was then authorized and issued, and TO keep
up the revenues as they then stood, until the
debt payable in currency was paid oil, and
to use every financial resort TO Keep out the
currency debt or 10 exchange il for more at
traclive currency bonds, TO float it until ii
could all he paid Off and after that to CON
tract the currency gradually and AT certain
rate to specie payment. We advocated this
policy, while every Democratic member OF
Congress, and every Democratic journal was
advocating contraction to specie payment,
which would turn all our currency debt into
the equivalent of specie. And in spite ol
their sudden change to u sncal.ng trick %
reputation, we have moi changed Our minds
nor have we seen in the arguments from th,
other quarter how the credit or ability of thu
nation is to be advanced by Withdrawing TIN
means of paying currency debt.-Cincin
