Mr. Editor-In the Richmond Eng oirer OF Friday,
its charitable and amable Editor, charges that the
whss calculate upon sueees at the next Presiden-
tial Election upon two grounds Isl. The divisions
Of the Democratic Party; and edly, the expectation
of receiving a supply of foreign funds to aid the
Wing Candidate. Thi, il.iberal aud Infamous
charge comes from a man who 10 perpetualiy whin e.

and fus,isn would have been poured out upon your

bring this accusation of reliance upon foreign gold
for eleciioneering purposes to the tombstone OF
common sense. One Of the great issues to he tried
at the next election is the repeal OF the tariff
and the establishment Of free trade, or the con
tinuance Of tina, system, whereby an adequate
revenue shall be provided aud the domestic indus
try OF re country sustained against the ruinous
competition of foreign pauper labour. Will the
gold come from England to assist the Wings into
poweri No! Because there Is nothing on this
earth which England would so much desire as the
total abolition oi our Tariff and the free admission
OF her Manufactures into our ports. Look The
recent accounts from that country which represent
that all parties unite in condemning the late Tariff
because 1t Is considered njurious BRUSH in

Repeal is the result Of incurable political preiu-
dice and blindness, and he is probably as sincere a
believer in the AnIl-Tarf doctrines as he is in the
sub'imities OF Mesmerism. | do not believe how
ever that all the EDITORS in The Union are as guilt
less of receiving British gold to advocate British
interests, as the Editor Of the Eoqu'rer. Il is well
known that British p,per has been long establish

suppositon is by no means unreasonable that there
are many vena ard Infamous prints, like the New

England against the in;eress OF our own country
and people. A VlRGINIAN.
