candid, however, to add, that If the Wing par

cast their votes for me, they must do it on their

AMERICAN LEGATION, Nov. g., l847.
The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister PlenipOtentiary Of the United States
of A mericu, has the honor to inquire Of Wis
count Patlmerston herBritannic Moiest Is Prin-
cipal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, if
her Majesty's Government is inclined to re
move existing restrictions on international
commerce.
Universal reciprocity in the widest sense, is
held by the American Government as the only
thoroughly appropriate basis for intercourse be-
tween the two great nations, The prohibition
Of the indirect trade has but restrained enter
prise; it has done good to neither country. To
abrogate it would at once set free dormant
commercial wealth, without injuring any one.
Should her Majesty's Government entertain
imiiar views, the undersigned is prepared or
the part Of the American Government, to pro,
pose that British ships may trade from any part
Of the world to any port in the United States
and be received, protected, and in respect tc
charges and duties, treatedlike American ships
if, reciprocally, American ships may In like
manner, trade from any part of the world tt
any port under the dominion of her Britanit
Majesty.
The removal Of commercial restrictions
while il would be of mutual advantage to TIL
material interests Of both countries, could no
but give openings to still further relations 0
amity between them and by its influence o.
intercourse Of nations create new guarantee
for the peace ofthe world.

FOREIGN OFFIce, Nov. II, 1916,
SIR: | have lost no time in communicative
to my colleagues your note on the Sd inst, o
the subject Of the Navigation laws which rel
slIate the Commerce Of the British Empire on
that of tho United States with each other.
This question had already engaged the s.
rious attention Of her Majesty's Minister; ar
we observe, with pleasure that the sentimcn
which we entertain with regard toit, are share
by the Government of a country with Whit
we are SO closely united by the ties af an C
%tensive and Of common origin.
We do not however, think that we should
justified in advising the Crown to enter in
engagements which would be at variance wi
some Of the most important principles OF I
existing Navigation Laws, without the previo
sanction of the Parliament, but it is our int
ton to propose to Parliament, without unnec'
sary delay, measures which would enable US
place our commercial intercourse, in regard
the matter to which your note refers, on {
most liberal and comprehensive basis with n
~pecito tall countries which shall be willing
actin a corresponding spirit towards us, a

 We Want PFiaciples.

Tho Democrats have declared to the country and the world, what they are con tending for. The Wings must take ground. They must either be for our principles or against tbem. If they are against them, let them say so to the country. if they be with us, let them publish it to the people. The whig leaders cannot serve "God and Mammon." They cannot be for or a. gainst our creed as best suits their conven- fence. This no side "Fippecanoe and Tyler too" doctrine will not suit the hon. est yeomanry of the country. When they ask for bread they will not be satis- fled to receive 'stone.' The Enquirer has told the country that the war is to be an issue, and the whigs are to ta ;e the side which ths De mocrats opfo This is one issue. But are there no more. Is the great regulator, the safety valve of commerce, national bank, purely obse- lete. The whig papers frequently speak of the virtues of a home market connec- ted with the protective tariff of ,42, but will they make no issue against the reven- ue tariff of 46 They speak of tho ben efits of ma gnificient system of internal improvement by the General government, will they abandon the distribution of land proceeds They advocated the annihi- lation of the veto power in Al, will they let go this ''clay trapl" They charge Wilmot provisoism upon Cass, have they no point here to make They condemn the acquisition of Mexican territory, are they for or against the late Treaty of peace l! Have they published to the world ut their late convention their views upon all these great questions. If they oppose the Democratic platform will they not build one by its side to suit their taste
 They have nominated a southern man for President, this woull indicate hostility to the provlso doctrine, but this presump- ton is rebutted by the nomination of Fill
 more who is known to be an abolitionst.
 Here is conflict--a rebuttal of presump- tion. Come out then, and r,move the conflict by frank and manly avowal of your position. Flummery, hambngge- ry coon shins and cader 6arrels, cannot elect another "rp and Ty."--Principles | must elect the President. Calm, dispas.
 sionate reason must convince the midst of men. The people must know their man,
 but above every other consideration they
 know his principles. It is not enough for them that he fights well. Ii every man is
