"When the Celt has crossed the Atlantic he
begins, fot the first time in his life, to consume
the manufactures Of this country, and indirectly
to contribute to its customs We may possibly
live to see the day whenshe chief product of Ire
land will be cattle, and English and Scotch the
majority of her population. The nine or ten mil
lions Of Irish who by that time will have settled
in the United States, cannot be less friendly 10
England, and will CERTAINLY BE MUCH Bet

"But in the present state of parties in The
Union, the time is ill chosen to press any such
negotiations at all The prudent course,
therefore, would have been, to give notice that
the privilege of fishing beyond the limits of 1918
would be withdrawn NEXT YEAR, and the pro-
visions of that agreement more strictly enforced;
and then TO await the effect which the PRESI-

"The primary question for the United States,

The two following extracts are copied from an
article in the July number OF Blackwoods Mag
azine, rank Tory Quarterly, under the head Of
"American Politics, by an Englishman Abroad"
"a much more important question is the Tar
iff; and it is one which will enter into every po-
litical combination. II has not of late been put
prominently forward; but it is not the less i'm
portant on that account. THE MANUFACTURE
Frs OF AMERICA CANNOT EXIST UNDER
COMPETITION WITH ENGLAND WITHOUT
A HIGHER TARIFF; and the SIMPLE CUES
TION is, WHET Err MANUFACTURE SHALL
CEASE OR NOT. The East, as the great man :
ufacturing district, has been generally in favor
Of higher duties, the Vest and the South have
been adverse. A change, however, is taking
place in this respect. Manufacture is increasing
in the West, especially since large mines have
been operated upon, and has sprung up in the
South. Neither is so exclusively agricultural as
it was; and there has been hardly President
making speech for the last six months which has
not had some allusion TO the necessity of an in
creased tariff, This is significant.
The article from which the above extract is
taken, was written before the nominations were
made. In the same article, we find the following,
in regard to the candidates talked of for the Pres
idency:
Fillmore, Webster, Scott, and Cass, are the
more prominent candidates; but The most promi-
nent are not always the most successful; and il
would not at all surprise me to find some man al
most unheard of in the contest, stepping quietly
into the Presidential chair. THE MORE A MAN
HAS DONE FOR THIS COUNTRY, THE LESS
LIKELY is THE COUNTRY TO CHOOSE
HIM"
The London, Times, of July 18th, in comment
ing upon the death of the lamented CLAY. says
ale Mr. Clay] adopted with enthusiasm tht
idea of a combined American policy, to the ex
cluslon of European ir rfuence on that continent
But he gave no encouragement to the schemes o
Texan annexation, or to the Spoliation of Mexico
and he expated his tardy assent to that unjus
and aggressive war by the loss Of his favorite sol
who was killed in action in one of the Mexican
battles. Probably it was this strong and exclu
Sive AMERICAN feeling, which was honorable
aS q thotla tn
principal error of his life; for unquestionably hi
authority and his arguments were the stronghold
for many years of the system of high tariffs an
protective duties in the United States. II i
strange at this day to turn back to the MARROW
and ERRONEOUS views of so eminent a man.
"Ss "There can be little doubt that the mis-
chievous delusions of Mr.. Clay and his friend
on these subjects, have considerably prolonge
the existence Of high protective duties in tn
United States, though these views have bee
equally injurious to their party interests, and I
the public prosperity. The Wing party has los
itself in America, not so much because it is Viii
as because it is PROTECTIONIST. Even i
power at the present time it cannot act upon il
own principles, and everything seems to denot
that the next Presidential election will CON
petely defeat its pretenSionS. Had Mr.. Cla
taken different course on the commercial polio
Of Great Britain, he would probably have enioyeC
a much longer tenure Of Office, and he woul
certainly have deserved far larger amount Q
public gratitude"

"THE triumph of the candidate of the Demt
cratic party, brought forward by the men Of II
SOUTH, will secure, probably FOR EVER, the a
tendency of liberal commercial principles, ar
should Lord DERBY next year be disposed to tai
the American tariff for his model, we have lit
