THE MANUFACTURE OF IR0N-WILMtNG-
TONS OPPORTUNITY,

There was never so great demand upon the
iron-produoing establishments of the country, as
at this time. The immense increase of railways,
and the multiplication OF the uses for iron in all
departments Of manufacture, have caused a
pressure upon the market that has seldom. if
ever before, been experienced. The probable
consumption is now five mill ions of tons a year,
and yet the utmost capacity of the American
works now in operation is estimated at only two
million five hundred tons. The deficiency now
comes from abroad, and yet it ought not to- If
the American works are developed and increased,
as this immense demlni naturally requires they
should oe,the.e is nov an Opportunity for enor-
nous growth in the material prosperity of all
localities fayorably situated for iron manufac-
ture.
Chief among these localities we count the
City of Wilmington Il my not be tie best place
for furnace operations, ba. for rolling mills,
foundries, machine shops, bo., &,, it has fas-
ilities and advantages that are almost unequalled
in the country. These include its proximity to
coal and iron and its easy and cheap transporta-
tion moderate cost Of living for workmen ;
moderate taxation and the stimulating nfu-
ences Of the industrial operations which have
already gathered here,
There is nov great opportunity for our city,
to become one ofthe greatest iron n-working CEN
tres in the country Capitalists who design to
erect works should examine into the alleged ad-
vantages which We ennmerate, and see if they
will not be procee ling most iudici0usly by locat.

1st the miners were paid eighty cents ton and

TIE CITY PATRONAGE WITHDRAWN.
When the Democrats were in power, year
ago, they expressed their disapproval of the
COMMERCIAL, by carefully excluding from its
columns all city advertisements, although it was
undeniable that they would have reached, il in
serted therein, larger portion Of the commune
ty, than by the use of any other newspaper pub
lished in the city. We did not complain, how
ever, since we considered the act an acknowl-
edgement that ouI political opponents, whose
courses had then been characterized by scanda-
lous improprieties, were duly sensible of the
weight of the COMMERCIALS criticism
We are now, however, treated by the present
Council as we were by the Tammanyites of 1871
The Clerk OF that body has been instructed by
the Printing Committee TO have no more ordi-
nances published in the COMMERCIAL. They will
be inserted in two other newspapers, and not in
this. The two other papers are the Republican
and Eoery Erening Both have strenuously de-
Tended the propriety Of City Councilmen becom-
ing City Contractors, and herein find their re-
ward. The former supports the Republican
Party the latter claims to be strictly neutral in
politics, but insists on the partial, il not COM
plete, disintegration of the Republican organiza-
ton of this county, and the formation of mixed
legislative ticket.
As to the action Of the Printing Committee,
we have nothing to say. The city advertising is
matter of small moment to us. Its withdrawal,
however, is yet another step in the attacks made
by the City Ring on the COMMERCIAL, contest
which they seem determined to continue, so
long as we maintain independence of expression.
Their patronage, they hope, will secure COM
plete subseryiency to their wishes, and this pa
per does not answer that purpose.

A PLEA FOR ERIE.
From the N. Y, Trlbune.l

The Erie Company is no longer suspected
corporation; no one fears that the revenues of
that great thorougfare are to be stolen by its
officers or otherwise diverted from their legiti-
mate purpose. Its officers have therefore the
right to conduct its affairs with the same free
dom and the same discretion which are enioyed
by other lawful industrial enterprises. They
appear to possess the confidence of the public
and Of the majority Of the stockholders Of Erie,
and there is no necessity and no justification
for any treatment of them which would not be
proper in the case Of any other corporation.

A Desirable summer Resort For sale or


The Brandywine Springs property in the valley
of Red Clay Creek near this city, was at one
time one Of the most popular and most frequent
ed Summer Resorts in the country, and went ou
Of vogue simply because, upon the opening of
railroads to all parts of tho country, it, having
none, became comparatively difficult of access
This disadvantage is now to be remeded, by the
completion Of the Wilmington & Western Rail-
road which runs through the property, and will
have a station at that point, close to the old mill
where Oliver Evans worked out many of his
mechanical devices.
With this railroad, this beautiful property
must again become popular summer Resort,
if placed under proper management Tho
Messrs. Fell, who own it, offer to sell,
or lease it for term of years, to
a proper party, The buildings have been re-
erected, after their destruction by fire, and are
in good order, and the further improvements
required to be made before opening the house
for boarders, would be inexpensive.

THE ASSEMBLING OF THE PHILADELPHIA oeNvEN-
TIoN.
[From the N. Y Herald.l
Under no uncertain auspices, then, will the
National Republican Convention meet at Phila-
delphia, with platform built not on mere prom
iHes, but on triumphant experiences to call the
present incumbent Of the chief magisterial chair
10 a second term. The fatulent platitudes of
hungry opposition will be left to the men Of un-
certain principles, who can only agree to disagree
on national politics, and who will be bound TO
no tie save that Of condemning an honest officer
whom they hate because they fear. The coun-
try will not look at these mems likings or dslik
ings, but at the record to which those unbought
intelligences can point with perfect satisfaction
as one worthy Of the country, whose interests it
has guarded and whose prosperity it preserves
for the good of the masses.
