The Inalusamce Of England upon our
EiCCii0Es.

During the late elections our cars were
stunned with cries of "British Gold,'' sent
over 10 buy upnotcs in favor of Polk, and the
multhudinous agencies ascribcd to England
in attempting to influence the people of the
United States. Singularly enough, howev-
er, as soon as the results of the election
were known in England the disappointed
wall of the English press was loud and long.
The London Herald of Odd Jan. cantains
letter in relation to which it states edito-
rally as follows
1--WE have received from an intelligent friend
in New York the following encouraging account
of the state of parties in the American common
wealth.n
The letter then proceeds as follows:-
'Now for a word about our defeat in the Presi-
dential elections. What though the field is lost,
all is not lost. Tho Whg party is neither few
nor faint but fearless, determined. and indomtn-
bic still. You plainly see that the corruptlons of
the Democrats were mainly infused into the great
States of New York and Pennsylyanla-whic
elect very nearly one quarter OF the Electoral
Collage All the small States voted for Clay
Thus we shall maintain preponderance in the
Senate our conservative arm. 1t is believed the
aggregate popular vote for Clay exceeds that for
Polk. | trust that in your correspondence WiM B0ur
friends uou 1ciH dssuade them from asserting us.
Tell them their Saxon, relations have fought
bravcv, and that our armor is untarnlshed, while
that of our enemies is nauseous with flth-hell
is in their hearts, and hangman i'll their faces
We will ride over them yet We have host Of
honest and talented men in Congress who will not
slumbcr at their posts Depend upon it Polk
nwiIl not sleep in down Of the cygnets of the
Ganges.'
81 am as sure that we arc now silently ,stcadly,
yapidly progressing in the crrtaitnte Of UNIVERSAL
SUFFRAGE, that blight upon system, and in the
consequent reform of our representation as am"
The extract of the letter ceases at this
point. Now it must be remembered that du-
ring the past few years The agents of England
have been unusually active upon this cont;
hent. In May, ls42, Lord Aberdeen sent
circulars to every English Consul and agent
throughout the United States, establishing a
system Of espionage into our internal institu~
tons. In consequence of this, Mr.. Walker
in the Senate moved resolutions suspending
every English functionary in this country
from his duties, until that government disa-
vowed those circulars. This was voted down
mostly by the staunch friends in the Senate,
alluded to in the above extract.
The Presidential election was then entered
upon, and if ever this Union, with its insti-
tutions, encountered peril, it was during that
furious struggle with unscrupulous opponents.
subsequent developments startled us at the
cxtreame of the danger we had passed
through triumphanily, through the care of
the Genius of Liberty. The above letter
dscloses the astonishing fact that some of
the Wing party were in actual correspon-
dence with the leading London journals and
their friends to solicit aid in cmtaileng the
rights of suffrage. We had recent occasion
to notice the violently abusive letters of
"Genevese Traveller in the London Times,
denouncing everything democratic and re-
publican among us. His reward is place
in the Custom House. Their agents are
now at work, it seems, begging for aid in
London, with the determination "to ride
over them {the American Democracy yet"
