To the Editors efthe9N. Y Tribune:
lam an Irishnlan, thoughla naturalized citizen
ofthe United States. II wishyto say one word on
politics. 1t is true that the leading English papers
are in favor of the election of Gen. Pierce, as like
ly to benefit the cotton lords of Manchester, Biz
mingham and other manufacturing English townsi
If so, my vote is decided for Scott. Lovingim
fatherland, whose lifeblood has beeL trampled out
by the English trade and manufacturers pocy,l
cannot uphold any man or party elsewhere lhat
promises TO aid that accused English policy. Did
not our own eloquent Meagher, in 1S47, IN Dublin,
declare that this English policy had robbed Ireland
of her manufactures, palsied her industry anu
ruined her trader and can any lrishmen born help
that policy to longer or stronger life? am told
that that forrest of papers, the London Times,
which has repeatedly exulted over the desoation
of Ireland, claims that the election Of Mr. Pierce
will be worth millions TO Manchester and Birming-
ham! Is it so2 i may be wrong; but believe
Irshmen not fond of British parties, nor OF par
ties advocated by British tories. WilIyou not, not
for my sake but for the sake OF TRUTH that Irshmen
may know who they are serving, publish What these
English papers do say; also what Mr.. Meagher said
about British policy fin 1S47? Let us. have the

u-Tslhe triumph of the candidate OF the Demo-
cratic party, brought forward by the men OF the
South will secure, probably forever the ascendant
cy of liberal Commercial principles; and II Lord
Derby, should be, next year, disposed to take the
American tariff for his model, we have little doubt
that it will serve to last illusions of the
protective system from his mind. In this repect
and on this point, we take Gen. Pierce to be lair
representative of the opinions of Mr.. Calhoun and,
as SUCH ualuaJle practical ally TO the commercial
policy of this eountry.-London Times, July 3.
QTWe are without as to the views
OF Gen. Pierce on the subject OF corporation with
England; but we cannot say that we feel any ap.
prehenson on the point, and we shall awaitithe
final election not without share in the confidence
of many friends that it will result well.-London
Leader. .'1'5 zaI
u-JsThe election of Gen. Pierce will, at any rate,
| prove that the Democratic majority, whatever may
be their differences, unanimous IN their tesmo-
ny on behalf of liberal commercial policy; and
| any Government he may form will be one on which
this country may rely for eGectual CO operation in
reducing. wherever practicable, existing impede
ments TO International intercourse. -Alanchesfer
| Examiner.
| 'Thc two parties of the Republic, Wing and
Democrat-that is, Conservative and Progressive,
Protectionist and Free Trade-appear to have mar
shalled their forces and selected their candidates
for the coming election. EVERY ENGLlSHMAN,
Of almost every class, RFJOICES IN THE E8-
PECTATloN FOR THE SUCCESS. OF THE
