tilo sy yiipdtilleS 0l this sarcasm from the Brit iSh press, 10 satisfy every democrat and every true American that it is tue highest praise that could be bestowed upon the President ol their choice The tone of this censurr. wh,ch IS petulant without dignity, and fault iiaathg without force, shows that the authors oi It Je@f much more than they affect to de- SPise the quiet, unassuming, but firm, fearless ana convincing positions taken in the inau- gura as the rule of action of the new admin istratlon Tn our foreign relations. The tory ihStlhct informs these carpers that the willy policy ot England and her grasping avarice of territory will have to encounter in Mr. Folk another President who will ask nothino mat IS not right, and submit to nothing that Is wrong.
 ne points on which the British press iiiaNe ,,, thelr chIef attacks upon the inaugural are texas and Oregon, with a touch at slavery ana rePudlatlon; and the analysis of their Whole Vltuperatlve criticism reduce it to two elements, VIZ: monarchial hatred of republi- IdniSm' and British lust for aggrandisement oy national robbery and plunder.
 what higher honor can an American states iiiaii achieve, than to deSerrc the censure that emanaes from such motives2 Praise to an american President from such sources would be the only blame, and we can assure the Boston Atlas and it's kindred whig prints, that take pleasure ill displaying these ebullitons o' the London press, that they are only using means that will endear President Polk still more to the hearts of his countrymen.
 A sample of these criticisms will show their worth and tendency. The London Times represents President Polk, when delivering hIs inaugural, as ''the creature Of q mod elec- tto", addressing lis creators" It complains that Gin Mir. Folks address is faithfully repro duced all the worst characteristics of the American statesman who have been in power since .Mr. Webster was in the cabinet" It sheers al the American Union as s'the hollow ness of union without unity, and of political combination that aims to embrace the whole world, while It is afraid to interfere with the grossest social corruptions in its own bosom.0
 The calm claim of our right to Oregon, and to ret annex Texas, which the President puts forth i'll his inaugural with a quiet emphasis, of which the British writer well says, "we fear it's signifcance," is denounced by the courtly London Times Gas lie repeated, after 1t has been contracted and secuted by all wel-nformed and honest men; which is lie raised to a higher power-that is, the square of ie,''
 The London Post describes the inaugural III terms which 1t means for censure, but winch will go to every democratic heart as the highest praise. It says of the ''messdge" of President Polk that ''H IS bold adapta- pf To ho rlchS ot he ultra democratic pGrty"
 The London Herald consoles its chagrin at the annexation of Texas with the comfort able hope that Mexico will prove thorn in tlle side of the United States which no politi- cal surgery can extract, and that the Union will be forthwith dissolved.
 This last pleasing anticipation it doubtless derlves from the s'ao-binding .forceo resolu- tlons of the whig Massachusetts legislature, and the disunion whig convention held in Faneuil Hall. That the English press takes it's cue on disunion from the whig and aboli- ton presses of this country, and counts on the treason which Garrison and the Atlas are proclaiming of ''no union with slavehoders,' , IS apparent from paragraph in the London Herald, which says:
 ''As every rational man in the United States IS aware that in few years the southern States will overpower the northern, no rational man anticipates very long duration for the present constitution ofthe United Statesl The present gain of Texas must, therefore, be looked upon the surest system of decay ,or rather of speedy ruin, in the States"
 This Is the British response to the anti Texas disunonists; and if the British tories abroad, or the disunionists here, really beiev- ed what they pretend to assume, that the union of Texas will dissolve the union of the States, they would rejoice at the accession of Texas with exceeding joy, over the anticipated ruin of the republic, and the establishment of a northern confederation that could be ruled by whigs and abolitionsts, without the interler- ence of southern democrats.
 If there were any sound policy in the Brit ish tory press, it would not wonder at finding these sort of opinions of American affairs made the rallying points of political parties in this country. The whole spirit of their censure of American statesmen and American measures, is hatred of republican institutions, detestation of our union and earnest desire for its dissolution; an eagerness to fan the incendiarism of abolition among us, for the purpose not of freedom, but to check freedom by destroying it's only powerful living exam pie in government, and a greedy avarice of territorial acquisition upon our continent.
 Hence when the British press applaud such statesmen as Webster and Clay, who are al- ways ready to surrender American rights, and censure such as Jackson, Van Buren, and Polk, for the opposite policy, need it wonder, as the London Examiner slllily does, that "unGorlunately for John Bull the political capi- tai always created on the eve of the election of President, consists of hatred to England and jealousy of Engand?"
 It is neither hatred nor jealousy, but it is an instinctive aversion to the policy and the institutions of a country from whose oppres- sions our fathers fled to found this republic and patriotic and wholesome fear of the tendencies of federal and conservative politi- clans to give British influences an ascendancy y in our councils.
 The British tory press, thareforc, in assault
 ing President Polk as they do for preferrne America to England, only fix him firmer il the affections of the people. The two Pres dents most abused by the tory press on botl sides the water, were Jefferson and Jackson anl1i}7aii,. hold tc tho ctrongest on the heart
