The British Candidate.

The question of the American Presidency
if we can believe the letters of private Ameri-
can gentlemen Of the highest responsibility
abroad-excites the greatest interest in some
portions of Europe, but especially in England.
General Scorr is too American in feeling;
and has served and yet loves his country by
far too we'll for her. His elevation to the Pre-
sidency would give too much tone and charac-
ter to our Government, and render our people
too independent IN their industry, to suit her
ambitious views. 1t would exert too great an
influence upon the continent Of Europe, and
render America too strong as an asylum, too
great as an example.
Hence it is that English capitalists are pour
ing their steady streams Of gold into this soun-
try to insure the election of FRANKLIN PIERCE.
A correspondent who has been in New York
states that thousands of dollars have been sent
over, and are now used as an electioneering
fund, and in betting and brbng.
Let the people of this country understand
fully that there is British candidate for the
American Presidency, and that the British
capitalists and the British press bid him God
speed in his race against WINFIELD ScoTr.

Slavery withdrawn

Willy as he is, ex President VAN BuREs
has been indscreet enough to proclaim the
nature Of the compact now existing between
the Freesol and Hunker sections Of the De
Inocratlc party. Writing to Chicago Demo
cratic Association, he AYERS that the ",ubjecl
Of slavery" has been ",oithdraon from the can
rass;" and having tabooed slavery, the Demo
cracy are united!
The averment reveals no new thing; but
from such source it is significant. |. ex-
plains why and how Freesoilers and Southern
Rights men have canvassed in couples, and is
plain indication that the vital issue Of the
South is sacrificed by the Democracy as the
only means Of restoring party unity.

quence Of this policy that the meetings were
called when it did not suit the convenience OF the
people to attend; and IA the orators were not of
heir selection they bred little about hearing
them, and remained at home. 49,
Meetings Of this kind are asusiy the result of
neighborhood arrangement. They are, it is true,
generally planned by but q few of the active men,
but care is always taken to fix time for holding
Them, when there is nothing to interfere with the
attendance of ths people upon them. Meetings
thus called and for the success Of which the active
men of the n-ishborhood are responsible, are gen
efeHS we'll attended. But where they have not
been consulted, and the order to hold meeting at
particular time and place to lisen to particular
speakers comes to them from distance, it ia but
seldom that they enter heartily into it, or that the
meeting results in much Of good.
During the late campaign in Pennsylvania the
object seemed to be rather to give prominence to
two or three selected individuals, between whom
and the people there was no particle Of sympathy,
than to secure the State for General ScorT. The
meetings got up by the committee were often
large; but they were not composed Of citizens of
the vcinage, but Of persons conveyed at considera
BILE expense, fifty, seventy, and sometimes an hun
dred miles. Phe meetings at Lancaster and Potts
vile were both largely attended; but in both in.

neither place, however, was there any considerable
number of people from the neighborhood. The
mass, in both instances, was from Philadelphia,
and transported distance of near one hundred
miles.
The policy pursued in the above men toned re-
spect produced GOODNESS and disaffection, by in
spring jealousy and distrust. In addition to this,
our State candidates were unpopular. In Philadel.
phia city and county the Wings lost Thousands Of
votes by the Maine law, consolidation, &c.
But what desire principally to state is, that the
late election furnishes just criterion of the
Presidential election. The vote of the State on
Tuesday last is 40, 900 below what it will be on
Tuesday fortnight. Between 25, 200 and 30 900 of
these non-voters were Wings; and besides this,
there will be from 900 to 900 changes in favor of
General SsoTr. Set down Pennsylvania for ScorT.
In this you have the authority of one who has
never been mistaken in her vote.
Yours, very truly.

The Pennsylvania Elections,

The following letter from distinguished
citizen Of Pennsylvania is entitled to the atten
tive consideration of all friends of the Wing
cause, as assigning plausible reason for the
result Of the election which has just taken
place in that State, and grounds of encourage,
ment to expect brilliant triumph on the I'd OF
November:
OCTOBER Is, 1852.
To The Editor of the Republic:
DEAR Sra: The election in Penns Viva MIA has re.
suited in novice differently from what was antici.
patcd by well informed friends; nor is the re
suit at all dscouraging to those who understand
the causes whicn produced it.
In this State, for several years past, we have
been annoyed by divisions, arising from the pre-
tensions Of individuals who were but recently
Democrats, but who have found their advantage
by attaching themselves to the Wing party, a por.
ton of which, with us, has always acted on the
principle that tlersnM hour men are entitled TO
little more, in the way Of reward than those rho
have "borne the heat and burden Of the day.
The portion Of the party acting on this principle
appointed the State Executive Committee. The
| chairman Of that committee, Mr.. TAaGART, is a
young man Of energy, and a sound Wing, but
who was induced to pursue a Of policy in
conducting the campaign which it was forescen
would in all probability lead to defeat.
One OF the things which operated most to the
encouragement Of the Wings, and which produced
sensible disaffectioD, the manner in which
public meetings were called. Instead of leaving
It TO the people OF particular section to call a
meeting or not as it might suit them, and at such
time and place as would be most eligible and con.
venient, the State Committee took upon itself not
only to fix the times and places at which such
meetings were to be held, but likewise to announce
the names of the persons by whom they were to be
addressed, without regard to whether they were
acceptable to the audience or not. The consc.

Who Should be Preside MT!

Take away hegreedy thirst for office which
is gnawlng and knocking at the vitals of the
democratic" party, or appease its voracity by
some nourishmert akin to that which comes
from the treasury, and submit the question d.
rectly to the people, and WINFIELD Scorr
would be made President almost by acclama-
ton.
Let any man of any party dvest himself of
prejudice and personal interest and consider
why General PIERCE should be President.
What single act of his life can he point to that
has any resemblance to greatness! What did
he do in Congress save to vote against bills for
the improvement of the country and the pro-
position to pay the years salary to the be-
reaved widow of that old patriot soldier WILL
LIAM HENRY HARRsoN7 In what did he dis.
tingush himself? Why did General CAss
admit, in public meeting in Cleveland two
months ago, that, though he had occupied
seat in Congress with General PIERCE, he did
not know him? Is it obscurity that entities
q man to the suffrages of his countrymen!
We have no desire to ridicule man because
of his incompetency. But when an individual
is put forward by proscriptive strategy in place
Of men who are really great, we have right
to ask for the evidences of the claims upon
which they urge him. In this spirit we ask
the friends of General PIERCE for the evidences
of his claims upon the people of this country.
We have shown that his civil services are
altogether below ordinary, and that he re-
signed before the close of his term and returned
to his home. In his Mexican campaign he was
far more unfortunate. lie struck not single
blow for his country; but arriving on the
ground after the battles were fought and won,
he returned to his home before peace had been
concluded. Why should General Pierce be
President?
If we ask why General Scorr should not be,
there is not an honest tongue in the world to
answer. His deeds are part of our national
existence. and his sword has hell ped to carve
out for US our fortunes. While General PIERCE
was yet in his swaddling clothes, WINFIELD
ScoTT was contending on the fields of Chippe-
wa and Lundy's Lane against the veteran
troops of England. There is scarcely page

down to the present day that does not borrow
lustre from the deeds Of WINFIELD ScorT.
The administrations of American Presidents
have been rendered brilliant by his achieve
ments, and patriots long since gone to their
graves have known and honored him. Who
would not vote for such man?

Mr.. w EBsTER's HEALTH.-We learn from gen.
tleman who was at Marshfied last week that Mr.
Webster is rapidly failing in health, and that we
shall possibly be called to record his deccase at
early day. His malady was originally the ca.
tarrh, with which he has been habitually troubled
at this Of the year; but it has passed into n
affection of the brain, accompanied by symptoms
OF dropsy His friends have very little hope Of his
recovery .--Ne,o York Tribune.
A Boston letter also says:
ellis chronic complaint has changed TO diar-
rhpa, and one of his family physicians has given
him ~ past recovery"
Mr. Webster is also said to have written n letter
in reply to one from leading nen in this city, ask
ing in very decided terms that his name may be
withdrawn from the Presidential canvas.
Notwithstanding this, Boston papers state, on the
authority Of &c utlemen direct from Mr.. Wcbstcr'f
house, that be had recovered from the attack, and
that his usual degree of health had been restored
We glad to believe therefore, that there is nc
warrant for the strong representation concerning
his illness which arc given in the paragraphs

united on one county ticket which undoubtedly
weakened both parties. The Wings will increase

about 500 in favor Of General SCOTT"

"Sectarian Appeals

The Democrats are extremely hostile now
to the introduction Of what they call "sectarian
appeals" into the Presidential contest. They
object even to all illusions to the New Hamp-
shire Catholic test. lest the discussion of tina,
topic lead to sectarian controversy.
Their feeling has not always run in this d.
recion, as can be vouched for by those who
took part in the canvass of 1874. They had
no scrupIes then about the introduction of sec
tarianism as an element in the contest, for they
piled it increasingly, and with their charac,
teristic disregard of fairness. To secure the
Catholic vote, they resorted to every available
means to induce the Catholic portion of the
adopted citizens to regard the Wings as their
btterest enemies. The progress and the result,
of that election bear witness to the system with
which these appeals were resorted to, and the
success which for the time rewarded them
y Times change and tactics change with them
The Democrats wooed and won the Catholic
vote, but were unable to retain It, The policy
which led them "always to fatter and always
to deceive" came to an end at last; and now
making virtue of necessity, they are solici-
tous above all things for the avoidance of "sec-
tartan appeals" Their affected anxiety will
avail them little. 1t is seen through as dis.
ingenious maneuvre, intended to ward off the
consequences of their own treachery.
The Wings desire no other "sectaran ap-
peal' than that furnished by the New Hamp-
shire test. 1t demonstrates more clearly than
argument the broad distinction that exists be.
tween the theory and practice OF General
PIERcE's party.

Dem. los5 5,llS T,636 w loss.
1t will thus be that the falling off in the vote
Tuesday last in these thirty counties was 80 754
as compared with that cast at the last Presidential
election four years ago; and whilst the Wings lose
these 81 636, the opposition gain nothing. but lose
3,llS their previous vote. As these thirty coun-
ties comprise about ono half of the State, the whole
number of voters who did not vote on Tuesday
last, giving 10000 for the increase of the vote Of
the State during the last four years, was at least
100000. Two-thi Of these may, with safety,
be claimed for General Scott, as a meagre vote
always operates a.least one-third heavier against
|the Wings than the Opposition; and there is no
doubt that full vote will be on the second OF
November.
The only county in Pennsylvania in which a
vote was cast larger than at the last Presidential
election was the county of Luzerne; and although
the Democratic State ticket has q majority there
of 1000, the Wing Congressman has majority of
224, and the Wing county ticket is defeated by but
200 to 300 majority. Luzerne will give Scott an
immense vote; and full vote throughout the State
will roll up for him majority of many thousands.
1t is preposterous to talk OF election being test
of party strength in which more than one fourth
OF the voters Of the State took interest and no
