tics, thattlioy begin to sbriiilr. from it as one
of those dangerotis appellations WIT-Il,h is
sure to involve them in defeat, unless they
can prove it is untncrited. The charge is so
grave in its character, that it is sure to lead
toinvestigation on the, pnrtof the people;
tmdthis is all we desire.
If there be a party-in this country, which
clearly and palpablysceks to advance the in-
terest of Great Britain atthe expense of the
laboring population of the United States,
and our national interests, ‘no man in his
senses, will deny that it richly merits the
name of “The British Party." And that
there is such a party in the United Sta es,
and that Pierce and King are its candidates
7for the Presidency, we desire no bettt-.revi-
hence, than that afllirded by the British Press.
Every Press in England, we bi-licve with-
out an exception, is tivowedly in favor of the
election of the Democratic ticket; and as
they have no object in concealing their rea-
sons for taking the Loco Foco side of the
question, they very franlrlyand truly inform
their readers, that it is because the Democ-
lyi-acy if successful, will continue to England
'the enormous benefits of our own low tar-
iff or Free Trade policy—while if the Whig
arty succeeds, they will restore the tariff

readersof the consequences of the pending
Presidential contest : \VouId not the Loco

ent ruinous free trade tariff, for the lzcne-fit.

Wltirr party, if it should succeed, restore a
tartfl for the protection of American Indus-
try, to the injury of the Bflllah Manufactu-
rer,"antl the benefit of every great interest in
the United States; and the perinutient pros-
jpcrity of the people.
The answer to these questions is simple
and cannot be denied. The British Press
docs truthfully place before the British public
the matters at issue in our Presitlerittal con-
test; and it should not be matter of surprise,
that all England, without distinction of par-
ty, feel 3 deep interest iii the success ofPterce
and King over Scott and Gl‘c'1.IIi'Hl’I. -Blac/c-
icoo-.l’s Etbl7lbUl'gll Maga.:~liie distinctly tells
118 that thequesiion now pt-oiling in the Uni.
ted States, is, whether we shall inantifritttt-.i~e
for ourselves, or whether Eiigliinil shall
manufacture for us? and very wisely argues
that with the advantages possessed by the
British lI'I3flUIltCllJI'CI' in eiitpl-tying Ptiupvr
labor at Pauper prices, it IS only neces;-‘ary
to secure a cnntiniiation of our l‘€S"'l1tl3)l’lIl.
P
to insure the complete triumph of England.
The English Press reiterate the assertion
and pray for the siicccss of Pierce and King
and we need not encumber our colums with
evidence of the truth of this assertion, be-
yond what is contaiitetl in the following ex~
l.1‘BCl.II'O."fl the London Despatch :—
F)'07lLl/LC Lomlmi Dcspalclt, Sezil. 5, 1852.
“ The two parties of the Republic, Whig
and Democrat—that is, Conservative and
Progressive, Protectioriist and Free ’1‘ra.-ier
-——-appear to have marshalleil their forces, and
selected their caiidiclats-‘ ‘lr the coming elec-
tion. EVERY ENGLISH MAN, of al-
most every classs, REJOIC-ES IN THE
EX PECTATION OF SUCCESS FOR

man. FAR OTHERWISE. He is merely ac-
cepted as the nominee of that great party in
the Union who desire to PUSH TI-IE
PRINCIPLE OF FREE TRADE TO
I'I'S‘UTl‘t'lOST LIMITS.”
And yet in the face of these facts, the par-
tv which sustains Pierce and King and their
E‘iee'f'rade Doctrines, preteiid to take in
dudgeon their being denominated “'I‘he Brit-
ish Party,” in contradiction to that of “Amer
ican Party,” which so rightfully belongs to
the Whigs, because they advocate /I’/7lt'I2.C(1.7I,
instead of BI'lllSll interests Let us look at
their acts andtheir constqtiettccs.
~ In 1842 the Whigs passed a moderate
tariff for the protection of American Indus-
try, which wisely discriminated between ar-
ticles of f-;.ireign grouth and manufacture
which we could not pt‘ot:Iuce under l‘avor-,tl)lt;
auspices, and those necessary articles of do-
mestic manuf-.icture which every People
itiust produce within theinselves it they
would be reallyindependent of F‘orcign Dig;
tions. Thus we laid specific duties upon ev-
ery article upon which it could be collected;
and we made it the great aim of our tariff
system, to protect the manufactures of cotton
and woolen—our great staples; and in en-
courage our Iron ml1ttUlacl.ut'es, Undel-
this wise law, cotton and woolen ,manul'ac-
tures grew up in every section of the coup.
try and furnished ltoine markets for the for-
mer in almost every county—iiicre-asing the
consnrners of agricultural produce at’ the
same time that it very materially lessened
the number of producers; and of course.
secured to the Farmer a high price for the;
produce of his Farm. But this was noi—all_
The tariff’ of 184:2 was intended to protect
the great Iron interest of the country; and
it accomplished this purpose most effet-tuall,.
Iron is almost entirely the product of lanai-_
Our mountains and valleys are filled with
Iron and Coal; and all that was requisite
for the production of an abundance of bet-
ter Iron than we can possibly import, was
prote'=ion to American labor against
the Pauper labor of England and XV-a.'e:_._
This the tariff of 1842. cffectually gave; and
tens of thousands of honest laltoi-ers, and
millions of dollars of American capital,
were actively employed in developing the
resources of our country, and runtlering us
independent of Europe. Attliisperiodthe
British Party obtained the ascendancy; and
what was the consequence? The ']‘m-,fl’ of
1842 was repealed and that of 1846 auhstfiti
ted, for the special and sole benefit of Eng.
land and the utter ruin of the Am;-ric,,,,
manufacturer! Hod “ the American party”
continued in power, at this day there would
have been inure than two hundred tIiqus,,n.i
laborers employed in the production of Iron

homo mat-krt at the very doors of our farm-
ers Wihat have been the consequences of
repealing the-:tarifI' of 1842 and substituting
that of 185162 ' .
' First,‘ the hundreds of thousands of labor-
ers, who under the tariff of 1842, would
have been employed in work-shops _and
mantifactories, and in Coal and Iron HIIDGS1
receiving large wages and consuming at
high prices, all the surplus produce our far-
mers could raise, are now themselves forced
to turn to the soil for subsistence,--—.thus

of the country at the some time that the

To the Editor oft/ie New York Herald :-
Sir-—We address you as a public journal-
ist, havitig understood your paper to be simi-
lar to the Ex: miner, not taking sides in poll-
tic-.s.-,hut one that is used very much in the
United States to influence public opinion,
and like the Examiner and Leader in this city,
employed very successfully in popular elec-
tions. We do not know the rate of compen-
sation you receive for such services, but we
are willing, with what we can get from oth-
e"s, to pay you more than you could realize
from any o.her course, if successful in our
object. We have understood from an Amer-
ican gentleman direct front the United States,
that the General IVtll/b7'z°rlge viho was in
London last ye-tr, expects to be brought for-
ward for the American Parliament at the
coming polls, and we aredesirous of prevent-
ing his success; and with this view atld-ress
gt/ou. corrficlenltzilly on the subject.
This person was the first to form the Cal-
iforniagold mining compttnies in England,
and induced liundretls of stock brokers to on-
gage in his fascinating speculations. Pre-
lending to place so high an estimate on the
value of his expected dividends. After the
.-:-.tnie had been registered, he refused all ap-
plications to sell at any p ice; and availing
l'1lIl'l.~€‘ll of the respectable connections he had
foriiietl in this country and relying 00 Ill?-
credulity of the English people, while he
pretended to be a purchaser of stock, he was
nrivately selling the Sa1l'1P,lintl ruined hund-
reds of holders, who thus foolishly locked up
their funds in this worse than South Sea
bubble.
Obtaining an introduction to our PREMIER,
Lotto DERBY, through the Hon. Mr. Walker,
formerly the charicellor of your cxchequer,
be negotiated with his I-irdship thotistiiitls of
mining shares, which Mr. \Va|ltci- felt called
upon to redeem, for the credit and honor of
the American name. As lhe agent of Col.
F|‘f‘IlHI!It in this country, he einbarassetl his
‘property and prevented his selling his inter-
est when it would have realized here more
than two millions sterling. Atthe first open-
lug ofthe Crystal Palace, when the Hon.
Mr. Stanshury was the Comniissiont-.1‘ ltotn
the United States, he was iutrotlucied by this
,Q‘f,’t]lltéI‘1‘IE1n to various persons coitnectcd with
the Amt-ricrin department in the exhibition,
from all of whom, its well its from Mr. Starts-
bury, he bot-rovi ed large struts of money, tllld,
as we understand, not one farthing has ever
been returned. Having been invited to‘ the
July bunqiiet given by Mr. George Peabody,
the American banker, notnitlistiintling there
were hundreds of 1 .dies present, he lwcztliie
beastly intoxicated, and insulted nearly eve-
ry Eogli.-h gentleman present by declaring
“that the gttVt’1‘l11I1t:l'1l(.‘l the United States
iutertded to add Ireland to the ulltnber Ol
American States, and that if he was Pfr'sl-
dent, he would be d d if England should
not liglit, or declare herself independent of
the other allied powers of Europe.”
We are quite sure that our late member
from the The er II-amlets, Mr. George
Thompson, would visit the United States,
and address his friends against cotintenancing
arty measure which would place this Gen.
IVaIi'brzrlge in nomination, if you should
deem it advisable. At all events, he will
write to his particular friends, by this steam-
er, as to what course should be pursued ; and
our Mr. Williams has, by a prior steamer,
also written to Mr. Hart, the sitting member
from your city, who, it is, understood, is a
gentleman of great wealth and high consid
eration with his constituency.
We enclose you a Bank of England no‘e
for £50, and authorize you to draw on us
through the Messrs. loutts & Co. for two
hundred pounds adilitionnl, in case you effect
the object we have in view,
We hope to have your co-operation in this
matter, and subscribe ourselves your obedi-
ent servant.-

How Fran/c P'icr'ce’s Horse was She! under
Hun.--A cominunication to the Boston Atlas
gives from an eye witness, the facts relating.
to the story of Gen Ptcrce’s horse being shot
under him, while on march to the city of
Mexico. He was a soltlier in the Mexican
war, and at this, time belonged to Pierce’:
body guard, and was acting as such. Heat‘
what ' he savs:
it 1, was before they reached the National
Bridge, 1 think, that the Gt-.neraI’s horse was
shot, For, be it understood, the horse was
shot through the neck-and never used after.
At the time he was shot, he was tied to a bag-
Q-age wagon, in the rear of the _troops_, and
it the same time, Gen. Pierce was riding in
,1 wagon near the front’ of the march, at at
distance of five or six miles from his horse-
