From the Baltimore Gazette.
The Philadelphia NORTH american
insists that Baltimore is doomed to be
come "a great outport of Philadel.
phia," and that the time thereof is moi
far distant.
The editor of the North Amer scaql
knows that the largest iron manufac-
turing Arm in the city of Philadelphia
was actually driven to New Castle,
Delaware-shops, capital. workmen
and all. These men begged to be
allowed to remain in Philadelphia
where they had millions at stake, but
Philadelphia had her own way of
fostering manufactures" and they
had to 60,
Philadelphia has adopted policy of
prescription toward her manufacturing
interests. .
The party to which the North Ame, D.
can belongs, and of which it Is the
very humble servant, has. stolen the
reins OF government; it levies the most
oppressive taxes, and disburses the
revenue recording to its own sweet
will. The City Council is run by
statesmen who, whenever they have a
sober interval, devise means for
squeezing" the manufacturers; they
have on foot some villainous scheme
to oppress individuals when they have
not their hands In the city treasury.
Perhaps the North American will
not admit that Philadelphia can not
sell her goods after she makes them.
1t is true. nevertheless. She sends her
wares to New York commission
houses, there to have New York labels
put on them, and thus they find their
way to the consumer. These very
goods go back to Philadelphia and are
sold with the New York stamp on them
to give them currency. i.I ..s.
Every year the manufacturing inter-
ests of Philadelphia are deserting her
and coming nearer to Baltimore; some
locate at Chester, some at Wilmington,
and some at other points along the
line. To day Philadelphia's manu-.
featuring establishments are mainly
represented in Philadelphia by sign.
boards and desk room. The work is done
elsewhere. Wilmington does millions
of dollars worth of land is yearly gain-
ing more. We havenoill will toward
Philadelphia; indeed, we can afford to
wish her well, but the ebbing flow of
her trade Is southwark, and the signs
point to the time when she will be an
''outport" of the city of Wilmington.
The star of her destiny is setting in
that direction. How does the North
American like the prospect?

say that these reports do not proceed

Amid the general depression of trade,

Pacific coast States and Territories are

In Boutwell's majority report on

the expenses of the State Government
were $953, 900 in 1878, $90S,OOO in
1874 and "only" $6l8,000 ia 1876

THAT pure patriot, tSpencer of Ala

political strikers in that state yester-

A correspondent of the Cincinnati En-

following in the swift tide of reform in

Rev, P. P. Bishop is the Democratic

Captain G. 3. Smith, a colored man
who fought in the federal army, and
who is the acknowledged leader of
the colored democracy in the South,
invites the ''carpet-baggers" to meet
him on the stump and discuss the fol-
lowing propositions: .a.--
First. That the war was not waged
on the federal side for the overthrow
of slavery.
Second. That the passage of the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution was
prompted Dy motives involving party
interest. rather than magnanlmity.
Third. That the democratic, or NO

In this country, and that any one who
says so states known falsehood in his
heart.
Fourth. That republicans stole the
