England Giving II Up.

The London Times of the 9th instant admits
that the COLLINS LINE have achieved ga posi-
tive victory in speed' over all rival steamers.
1t is a reluctant admission, but none the less
gratifying on that account: .
''The truth must be told--the British steamships
have been beaten, and the most rapid passages
achieve between the Old and New World have been
accomplished by the American steamships. None
but an American steamship has yet run from
Liverpool to New York. and Vice ptrsa, in less than
ten days. The average passages of the Asia and
Africa may, perhaps, nearly equal those Of the Pa
sc, Baltic, and Arctic of the Collins line; but the
Americans have achieved the positive victory in
speed, their seamers-thc Pacific, Baltic, and Arc
tic-having made the heetest voyages. On the
part of the Americans the contest has been carried
on at vast coat, and additional grants from Con-
grcss oatensiby for the mail service, but in reality
from the national spirit Of rivalry, have only re-
Gently been Obtained to prevent the project from
pershing by reason of an enormous in equality be-
tween receipts and expenditures. On the part of
the British, while heavy amounts have been paid
by the Exchequcr and large profit has been made
by the contrhctors-tbe Mcssrs Cunard-the de-
feat has been accepted only to renew the attic mpt
in the hope and expectation of future and eventual
success"

Letter from MIR. Watson G.. Haynes.

To the Editor Of The Washington Republic: @
STA: Permit me 10 contradict vile report, now
going the rounds of the newspapers, to the effect
that was sent to Pittsburgh through the influence
and at the request of tn, Hon. Horace Greeley and
the Hon. William H. Seward. To which have to
say, that it was as impossible for either of thoee
gentlemen to know of my intentions of attending
there as that will be the next President of the
United States. .. ...... il. ,.
No man living attempted to induce me to 60
there; and do solemnly aver that no individual
in this world knew of my intended course of ac-
ton there. .. ...
am not the man to be controlled, nor the
honorable names mentioned the men to be party
to any base transaction. ..'. ..%f. a.

General SCOTT and the British Press.


If there is any American spirit left in the
country, it cannot fail to resent the active in
reference of the British press in behalf of Gen
eral PIERCE, and its bitter opposition to Cen
eral ScoTT. When we see the London Times,
the London Leader, and the Manchester Er-
aminer laundering against the hero of the war
of 1912, it leaves us no reason to doubt where
every patriotic American ought to be found in
the approaching political contest. We have
outived British pupilage. We ought to have
outlived British infiuence-the influence Of
British gold and of British opinions. We con-
graduate the DEMOCRATIC press of the coun-
try upon the zeal and interest manifested by
their British CO operators; but we apprehend that
this unholy alliance will not be much relished
by the American people. .... ...,.
From letter of the British correspondent of
the Times newspaper of the 18th instant writ
ing from New York, we copy the following
paragraph, which is in the same tone and spirit
with the editorials of the London journals:
"The great mass meeting at Lundy's Lane
was a failure. 1t failure in numbers, in
the character of the public men who attended it,
awaken, and the extent Of it's results The Brit
ish provincial journals very properly INDUCED in
some remarks on the indelicacy, il not the impro
priety, of the Americans crossing the frontier to
celebrate american victory toithout psr,nission
from the local authorities; and we have been
minded that it was hardly the scene for the cele
bration of victory by General Scott, since only
short time after the battle Of Lundy's Lane, and
not far from the same ground, 'this Napoleon of
America was himself takon prisoner, and under
circumstances ,oich, in Europe, tUould haue shorn
him Of most Of his la,.rsls. The fact is no longer
denied in any quarter that the Wings find livery
hard indeed to get up much Of furors about
their military candidate. They had already tried
1t twice before, and even with honest, modest,
and patriotic a man General Taylor, had
scarcely won the election; and now, with dis
memberment and disaffecton in their party, with
principles that odious to the most enlightened
portion of the community, which are proposed
for adoption by the people, and candidate who,
it is universally conceded, has been nominated
only because of the excitement it was supposed
his pame would give rise to, the prospects of the
6 Wings arc not very encouraging"

Appeal to RreesOilers.

We have before us the Gazette of Tuesday,
the gath instant, published in Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, and devoted to the support of
PIERCE and KING. This paper contains full
account of the recent proceedings at HILLSIDE
rough, where General DIX, JOHN VAN buren,,
and Captain RYNDERs figured among the ora
tors, and Hon. SAMUEL H. AVER and RICHARD
H. AVER, of Manchester, among the Vice
Presidents of the day. 1t contains also report
of the speech of the Hon. WIN. A. german,
of Indiana, delivered before the Granite Club
of Portsmouth, and heralded as Colonel Cor
MANS Great Speech" From this report we
copy a passage which we commend to the
attentive consideration of our readers. 1t
is important as showing the character
of the audience which Colonel GoRMAr
was addressing, and for the important ad-
mission that the "Freesoilers have nothing to
hope from the Wing party" The argument
is that they have nothing to hope from the cleo
ton of SCoTT-the implication that they have
something to hope from the election of PIERCE.
This was a sensible mode of argument before
the friends of JOHN VAN buren,, General Dix,
HENRY B. STANTON, and the gentlemen who
have been passing Freesoil resolutions in every
County and State Convention for a series of
years, but we apprehend that it is not SO we'll
adapted for southern meridian. .,.s
We will not detain our readers longer from
the adrot appeal of Colonel German to the
Freesoilers of New Hampshire:
"1hers is no,D no reason why any intelligent
man, who has heretofore acted with the Freesoil
party, should continue ,oithin its ranks, as ito
tendency is plainly a revival Of those agitating
questions which at one time threatened the erist-
ence Of this glorious Union. WHAT CAN FACE
soILERs HOPE FROM THE WIG PARTY? WHAT
HAS THAT PARTY EVER DONE COMMEND 1T TO
THEIR SUPPORT, either directly by voting for Scott
or indirectly for Hale? Come back to the Demo-
cratic fold and you shall be received oiM ,celcome
hands and hospifable hearfs'

Wing Nominations for Congress.

The Hon. SAMUEL w. PARKER has been
nominated for reelection to Congress from the
fifth district of Indiana, where two years ago
he was elected over GEORGE w. JULIAN, the
Independent Democratic candidate for Vice
President, who then run as the regular Demo-
cratic candidate.
The Wing County Convention of Clinton
county, Pennsylvania, has nominated L. A.
MAcKEY, of Lockhaven, as a candidate for
Congress in the thirteenth Congressional dis
trict of Pennsylvania.
