rWe copy the following from the Lon
don Times, the organ Of the British mon
archists. II is portion Of congratula-
tory article to the Wings Of The United
States, on their recent triumph. In the
same article ii applauds the successful cam
idida,e-rejoices over the Taylor victory
aud shouts most enthusiastically at the sue
cess Of the Federal party.
Speaking Of General CAss, the candidate
Of the Democracy, ii says:-
GEN. CAss, it must not be disguised, would
have been serious infection, and we are thankful
to be spared him He is frantic envier and ha-
ter of our institutions, empire and race with saf
ficient ambition to inspire dangerous designs, and
sufficient rashness to lead him 10 the attempt
When the General represented his government at
Paris he made himself remarkable for tie centn-
ual bitterness Of his tone to this country. He APP
ipeared TO have imbibed those fabulous and vulgar
notions of the British arIstocracy, and of British
policy which Cooper has embodied in his novels,
and which the lowest portion of the American
press industriously propagates with everlncreas
ing exaggeration. Ever since February he has
been loudly proclaimed as the man for the crisis,
and as the most suitable gift the United States
could offer to the genius of revolution in The Old
World. America, it was assumed, must be in
voked, and if not, would at least make ans.o 7ppr
ltunity of interference. Ireland, Canadssss Caba,
have become familiar words in ces'an eisstsl OF
! the Union.
There can be little doubt that had Case been
elected, he would have been propelled, rot only
by his party, not only by his numerous Irish sup
porters, but By his own taste and ambition, to at
Tempt another feat of annexation. He would not
indeed have carried with him the public opinion
of the United States. He would have involved
the Union in uuprece dented debt and struck a
heavy blow at its trade and manufactures hit he
would have run all risks for fame and power, on
the gamblers speculation that if he should sue
coed the Congress and the Union would accept
that expiation of the crime 1t would have been
most disastrous to both parties, for such is the
pride and consancy of this country, that the quar-
rel would have been maintained at almost any
expense. But dwelling, as we do, securely BY
our neighbor, and laborng to be at peace with him,
we do not deserve to be dragged into eaassel.
Such is the tone and temper Of the lead
ing journal Of the British Government, in
relation to the Democracyof the Union
But what Republican would have that pa

Remuneration TO its p5aiae---its opposition

thai the feelings Of the British monarchcal
press are with the Wings Of the United

dent, sanctioned their course, aud exul,el
over their success.
But Why should not the Times rejoice

side by side, on more than one occasion.

designs upon Texas, and it was the same
party that saved from her avaricous grasp
the wealth. the commercial and political
power of California. Well may the Times
declare it "is thankful to be spared Gener-
al Cass," for it well knows that Demo
cratic President can have no sympa,hies,
no feelings, no desires in common with
the English aristocracy. II was General
Cass, the Democratic representative o!
his government at foreign court, who
with diplomacy unequalled aud a foresight
which few statesmen possess, defeated the
quin.uple alliance, and secured to the
word the 'Afreedom of the seas"
The English press are "thankful to be
spared" the democracy, because they know
we'll tina, is the party in this country, which
has taken the noble, decided stand against
European acquisitions on this continent,
and that has ever wared against the dynas-
