puILApELpHrA, June 21, lo4o.


spent this morning and forenoon IN calling
at the Offices of several Of the city papers, ana
met with kind reception. II had time !
sboud visit all our editorial brethren; but as
our STAY here is limited, shall be compelled
to deprive myself, for the present, OF that
pleasure In making these and other calls, !
experienced the great utility OF the omnibus
arrangements of The city One can for a few
cents ride from the Exchange to any part OF
this splendid and elegant cily--tor such It may
be called with truth. Never was IN any
place which pleased me SO much from SO
slight an acquaintance. Every one here seems
to be employed; women and men all work,
and all appear happy. There is not SO great
distinction here between the rich and the
poor as we have seen in other places all in
dustrious and upright people seem to stand
upon an equality, and there is some founda
ton, after all that has been said by some TO
the contrary, for the application OF the name
of the city TO its inhabitants; il is, indeed, the
city Of Brothery Love- OF course there are
those here, as elsewhere, who form exceptions
to the general character Of the city; but
know OF no place of the same extent and pop
ulatlon, where higher regard is paid TO virtue,
temperance and morality. The stranger can
but be favorably impressed concerning this
city, and | believe the longer one remains
here, the more he will be convinced that the
Christian religion has exertsd wide and holy
influence upon the inhabitants


OF the penny papers Of the city, it is said
the Ledger and Sun take the lead. Certain il
is that they are deserving of large patronage.
presume the Times, Chronicle and Keystone
have also extensive circulation, as see them
in the hands OF many persons, who peruse
them with pleasure. would urge you TO ex-
change wilh them all and have reason 10 be-
lieve they will give your sheet hearty well
come and favorable notice, as their editors are
men of intelligence, and nearly all, | believe,
love your principles.


had quite an agreeable interview with one
of our brethren of the "Sun"-a paper
strictly devoted 10 temperance and morality.
found his views of matters very similar to
your own, as 10 the conduct Of public jour
nal


Myself, and the young minister who is in
our company, intend visiting the Sons of Tenn
perance this evening, and you will hear from
me concerning the Order in my next letter.
