Aid for the sbnm Democracy.

The London Times, in an article upon
the nomination of Gen. SCoTT, declares
its preference for Gen. PIERCE, and its ar
dent hopes for the success of the So called
Democratic party of the Union, in the fol-
lowing explicit terms:
"ln fact the advantage Of Gen. Pierces name TO the
Democrats and the ds advantage of Gen SCOTS namo
to the Wings, were both generally recognized, that
the latter was supposed to have Lost all chance. The
very last teegraphic that arrived before the
Convention had terminated It's abors led us to suppose
that the domination Of Fillmore or Webster was GER
tain But In a Democratic Convention, as in a con-
clsve of Cardinals nothing lost as long as the ballot
box be kept going The Pope ard the President Of
the United States the two principal elective rulers
Of msnknd and, though the Constituencies oifsr the
mechanism Of parties is not dssimar and the result
Just capricous In one case As In the other but In
this instance doubt whether any nomination would
have materially altered the chances o. the Wing
ddae aud far the general interests of the Union
and its relations Nth Onrsere are coRceTHed, Gen.
Piucs has best pisdes for his success.
"The pr mary question for the United States In tas
election s the national sanction and iaUiotdbk establish
msRt The principles Of free trade For though no coun-
try Il more the adoption and extension u
those principles than the American Union the tight has
hitherto been carried against the avowed opinlonsof
the Executive Government Mr. tilmores messages
and Mr. Corwins reports have continued to ayoT pro-
ectonit doctrines worthy 10 rank with Lord Granbys
political economy, aud Mr. q +. iOuDgs statstics ana
the country has only escaped the imposition OF mora
restrictive duties by the fact that tho Sent American
Government has never possessed majority on these
questions In the House OF Representatives the triumph
of the candidate Of the Democratic party, brought for
ward by the OF the South, Will secure, probably Tor
ever the ascsndency Of liberal commercial principles
snd If Lord Derby should next year disposed to taka
the American tariff his model, have title doubt
that Il will serve 10 the last Illusions Of the pro-
tecyC systeTn from bis mind In this respect and on
this point take General Pisrce to be fair represen-
taive of the opinions Of Mr.. Calhoun, snt, as SUCH
rnlHobe practical oily to ne commercial policy o. hts
COItbt.'
We commend this extract to the earnest
attention of the American electors, who in
November next, have TO decide on the poll
icy oftbe country. The leading journal Of
England raises its voice against Gen. Scott,
and in favor of Gen. Pierce, because the
latter will be raIuaJLe ally 10 the COM
merciaL policy Of England, while the for
mer will oppose that policy and consult the
welfare of his own country, and the pros
perity of its millions of working men, Gifts
farmers, It's mechanics, It's miners, of all
its people. The COMMERCIAL policy of
England is to obtain absolute control of the
industry and finances Of the world, to rem
der herself the manufacturing nation, and
all others producers of food and raw mate
rails alone. Thus they will have to come
to her to sell and to buy, and she will be
able TO dictate 70 them the terms at which
they must do both; and they will become
weak, poor and dependent and she rich,
powerful, supreme over all. That is tho
policy of England, now as it has been al
ways; once she enforced it by violence;
now she attempts to enforce by what she
calls free trade. That policy the Demo-
cratic party and its leader are pledged to
sustain and extend, and The London
Times cordially hopes for their success.
Let Americans Judge whether their votes
ought TO be given to increase the wealth OF
British merchants and their control over
the world or to sustain the industry and
the power Of our own country Let them
decide between the British and the Ameri-
can candidate
