We give from the London papers the English
option of the election OF Mr. Polk. The follow
ing are the remarks of the London Times in en-
rouncog the intelligence:
The nomination OF The Presidential Electors has
inst been completed, and il appears 10 leave 10
Doubt as 10 the triumph OF the Democratic party,
and of their candidate, Mr.. Polk. The surprise,
and VS. must add The approximations aud regret,
which this event will produce in Europe, iu-
creased by the fact that it is the great States OF n.
York, PSDneylVuId una WHICH HuNS tufil-
ed .hs scale. Far from exercising thar moderating
power, and, If we may 30 speak of any thing III
America, that Conservative influence which might
seem 10 belong 10 their position, their wealth, their
mercantile interests and their exemption from
slavery Pennsylvania he's in this instance obeyed
the same Influences which have already connected
her name with bankruptcy and anarchy, and New
York has followed her example.
OF Mr.. Polk We know nothing, except that he
has achieved a triumph over the most able and re-
spected man 10 the Union, although ne was scarce
ly more known in that Ucion few months ago,
than he now is IN Europe He has not been chosen
for his past services, his political experience, or
for civil ecquence, or for military lame; Tor these
qualities would doubtless long ago have brought
hin within our notice, II he had possessed taen or
any Of theu. But the less OF personal greatness or
Influence he could boast Of The better he fitted
10 answer The expectations OF mis- adhcrenis What
ever he may turn ont 10 be hereafter, we can Only
Judge Of him present US The delegate or lnstrn-
Inent Of the passions by which he has i'een thus
Strangely raised 3to this conspicuous POSITION AS
SUCH then, we must remark with 10 ordinary con-
c-rn that with The single exception OF the L ann
question: on which he is pledged 10 more liberal
commercial policy than his opponent, his election
TO this important office Is the triumph OF every thing
that is worst over every thing that is best in the
United States OF America. Ii is victory gained
by the South over the North--by the Slave States
over the Freely the rePudiatng States over the
honest ones-by the partisans OF the Annexation OF
Texas over lis OppOntIt.--p1 INC go"
uoscrapulous Democracy Of the new States, aud the
Foreign population OF those Saes over Inc more
aus,ere and dign;fed Repubicanism OF Ne"-Eng-
land.
The following is from the Morning Chronicle:
Throughout the struggle il is 10 be remarked
how much more united and able the men ana Tue
interests Of the South have shown themselves .hah
the men and interests of the Norh In tho slave
holding States there is no hssiiaton no DIVISION, NO
splitting of hairs and dispersion laio patues. All
vote us one for the principle wficn ~ W ne.
cherished above all others. In The Middle states,
the supporters ar once OF Democracy siie Sta'si!
showed more address, if the Wings displayed oet'er
orstory. The Pnr;isans of MIR. Polk fully sue
ceeded in persuating the manufacturers OF fenhsyi-
vania that he sufficiently staunch Prohoiuon,
ist. In New York, on tho contrary, whete ray s.I

prudent denuncation of Texas Annexation ouenu-
ed the stickers FOR national spirit and natonai g.9-
~ who in Tie North cry out ior conquest, even al
though that conquest should out incisaso '''o

Although tho election Of Polk cannot but De ID
ycrabe 10 the resuscitation OF principles OF rec
