TuE BRIrIsu PARTY.-Some leading
locoloco presses have charged the wings
with favoring British interests, and told
the people with an air of unblushing bold
ness. which nothing short of genuine DEM
apopuism could have the eifrontery to
practice, that the wings are actually more
friendly to Great Britain than they are to
their own country. To treat England
with the common courtesy due 10 an en-
lightened nation, and which the wings
have ever been ready TO extend towards
every nation with which we may have
any dealings, has often been construed
into want of patriotism and n prelerance
for foreign institutions. Whenever the
locos think they can make political capital
by becoming very "rantankerous" towards
England, they straightway lash themselves
up into a perfect frenzy, bespatter The
people with the hydrophobiac fro,h of their
patriotism, and abuse the wings as enemies
of their country because they don't feel
like chaping up the tarnal British IN less
than no time.
But circumstances alter cases" most

Does any one suppose that the British
Parliament lauded and admired it because
it looked out particularly for American in
terests? Is it not plain that the lords and
commons were pleased because they saw
notions advanced in the report which
might spare them good deal of political
maneuvering. The very end at which
they aimed could now be accomplished
without any further trouble, and England
reap millions of benefit by our soff-sodping
acquiesence in the lree-trade principle.
We do not say that there Is any British
party in this country, but if there be one,
pray tell US whether that party is most
likely TO be the whig party or the party
