[Article on the growth of Philadelphia, begins in first
column.] Orpheus, is said, in old poetic fables, to have
built a city by the force of his music, the sound of his
harp charming even the trees and stones to collect
themselves together: but the sweetest of all sounds is
LIBERTY; and wholesome laws with good government make the
most enchanting HARMONY; Musick, which, like the last
trumpet, will be heard in the remotest regions, and collect
mankind from the most distant parts of the globe.
