Foreign Opinion o Parties n United states.
The "Organ of Foreign Influences" finds that itself
and It's party very harshly treated by their friends
the sea, and complains sadly in its leading article
of yesterday, the strange ngratude of the English
journals for turning into such bitter dersion the high
tariff notions of the Federasts, which the good sense of
England has lately exploded The is indeed hard
one The British party herethe political successors OF the
Fedealiss OF 1912, who at that time, if old tradition be
true cast many longing look towards the fat priv-
eges secured the favored few by the strong and safe
conservative" government of England-the party OF
British precedents and practices, which has stuck
so steadfasty to that same system of commercial
restriction which the tory landholders of England
have so long uphed-whch has advocated the con-
centration of the moneyed power Of this country
in gigantic bank like the Bank of Englanj-which
took open part with England on the Texan question,
and more secret part with England the Oregon ques
ton, and the leading organs OF which are helping
the English journals to cast reproach upon this country
in relation the origin and of the war-this par
~ now finds itself pelied With singing sarcasm by the
London journals for being much behind the civza
ton of the age in its views of commercial policy The
Times and Chronicle profess themselves quite ashamed
to see their old Federal friends and allies in America
very stupid in every point OF their party policy only
in their opposition TO the just OF their country "To
be sure, say in substance, these British journals, the
ederas,s are very reliable 10 play into hands-or
the hands OF any foreign nation-n the event of con-
roversy OF war with the United States for this, we
give them all credit but beyond this point their statesman
ship as party does not proceed In relation to other
''ther policy is narrow, and benghted, and retro
grade and then come copious citations from Mr. Web
sters Philadelphia speech and other similar documents
to prove the assertion Very naturally indeed, the Intel
lgencer complains OF such treatment.
In retaliation for such course the Inteigencer finds
itself now compelled TO lisp out admission-whch it
took very good TO while the Oregon question
was pendinghat the British press looks with friend
" eye upon our national institutions national pros
pery This is new language for the " organ OF foreign in
uences" But here again, the Integencer finds itself in
puzzng dilemma The Times hates American institutions
Both the Times and the Inteligencer declare that the
Democratic party undermining those institutions and
pulling them down last as may be. Yet the Times
hates and opposes the policy OF the Democratic party
Very justly does the nelgencer wonder why this should
be If that which makes the true national spirit of this
country be odious in the eyes OF England, and the
policy of the Democracy be- the Inteligencer alleges,
at war with that national spirit, why does the Times
find much fault with the Democracy; The true solu.
ton of this question does not to the lntegencer
or it is carefully concealed And yet the answer would
seem to be obvious enough Looking over the history
OF the United States during the whole of the present CEN

troll the leading English journals have come 10

been pet in England In its foreign policy party,
is, for the have stated, peted there Its
bgoted adherence to the policy of commercial restriction
was looked upon with kindness and sympathy in Eng
land, until English experience exploded it, and the Eng

Federal party creed can be tolerated no longer and Is in
spite of its antAmercan association, held up the Brit

is gratifying perceive, however, that while those
