England Wants General Pierce Elected
Hadn't we better Elect him?

In the free trade policy which is advocated by
our Locofoco opponents, and under which, TO
great extent, we now live, the advantage in trade
must of course result to one party or the other
England is in favor of free trade policy in America,
and it is reasonable at least to suppose that her
opinions are rather based upon views of interest
than of benevolence. She is in favor of the cleo
ton of franklin Pierce to the Presidency, and her
presses tell us why-because she will thereby con-
tinue to make good bargains out Of us. Wilmer
and Smiths European Times says:
"As regards England, public sympathy, II is
needless to say is enlisted on the side oil the DEM
ocratic candidate Not that G en-. Pierce is consio-
cred the DETER MAN, FAR OTHERWISE. He is
merely accepted as the nominee of that great part
of the Union who desire to push the princiPie Oh
free trade to its utmost Limit"
Now. all we have to do, is to be good subjects
MS our great grandfathers were before the Reyolu-
tion. and elect the President whom the "mother
country recommends, and England-fond OF max
ing good bargain-will be very much pleased
with and will still further extend over our coun-
try that fostering and chershing care, which our
unpratefu fathers were so fooishly anxious to get
rid of.
England is in favor of the DEAocnArIc candi-
the DEMocnAcY Excellent. Democratic, Free
Trade England! Who would not vote for the
English candidate He isnt-yes he is, slip Of
her nobility-an ancient PERcY-a Hotspur =
who, carrying the blood Of all the family to Mexi-
CO, it unfortunately got into his head, and tumbled
him off his horse. -., ....
And here is a little more Of the same sort, from
the London Times: -o.l H--a
ssThe triumph of the candidate of the Democrat
ic party brought forward by the men of the South,
will secure, probably, forever the ascendancy OF
liberal commercial principles, and if Lord Derby
should next year be disposed to take the American
tariff for his model we have little doubt that 1t will
serve to the last illusions OF the protective
system from his mind. In this respect aud on thls
point, we take Gen. Pierce to be fair representa-
tative of the opinions of Mr.. Calhoun, and as SUCH
valuable practical ally to the commercial policy
Of this country"
Our high blooded English gentleman and his
party are "practical allies" OF Great Britain. They
have cherished tender regard for the commercial
interests of the United Kingdom. They really
don't think we have any right to protect our own
industry, but, thank Heaven We can do little to-
ward beneftting that OF another people across the
ocean. The world. is not entirely shut out from
| Locofoco charities. 1t is true we can't do much
for our own rivers and harbors, con-
sttutional; but we can fill those of Europe with
the commerce of the world 1t spretty difficult fol
us to make good bargains in trade, but we can help
the "mother country to few at our own expense
and that, in Locofoco computation, is infinitely
better. England wants Gen. Pierce elected
