Regard to A,nericaa POliies.--Some tint
since, says the Ohio State Journal, we pub
lished an article from the London Times ia
vorinp the election Of Pierce as beneficial tC
English interests. To-day we give an ex'
tract sBackwood's Magazine, a tory
Quarterly. The article from which the ex-
tract is taken purports to be by "An En-
sHshman abroad" who writes from this
country. After alluding to some other mat
ters connected with our politics, the writer
says:
much more important question is the
Tariff; and it is one which will enter into
every political combination. 1t has not OF
late been put very prominently forward; but
il is not the less important on that account.
The manufacturers of America cannot exist
under competition with England without a
higher tariff; and the simple question is,
whether manufacture shall cease or not
may return to the subject in a subsequent
letter;but shall now remark only, that while
the Eastlas the great manufacturing district
has been generally in favor of higher duties
the West 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 agri-
cultural as it was; and there has been hardly

is significant.
This and the London Times explain how
it is that England wishes us to adopt free
trade. "The manufactures Of America CAN
NOT EXIST under competition with Eng.
land withouta a higher tariff, and the simple
question is whether manufacture SHALL
EXIST OR NOT"
Any one can find this passage in the July
number of Leonard Scott g. Co.'S reprint o.
Blackwood, July, 1852, page 10.
Thus we see radical Locofocoism in the
United States playing into the hands ol
England Itwould be better for the Brit
ish government to pay ten millions of dol
lars than to have Mr.. Pierce fail to be elect
ed Presidents tor the question is, "Whet1er
manufacture in this country SHALL CEASE OR
NOT"
This Englishmnn abroad is not very flat
tering in his notice of the country. He is
willing to strengthen monarchy at home by
disparaging the American people. On page
AZ he says:
Fillmore, Webster, Scott and Cass arc
the more prominent candidates; but the most
prominent are not always the most success.
full; and it would not at all surprise me Ia
find some man almost unheard of in the con-
test, stepping quietly into the Presidential
chair. The more a man has done for the
country, the less likely is the country to
choose him.
This was written before the nominations.
How far 1t hits the case our readers can
Judge. lift is true that "the more a man does
for his country the less likely is the country
to choose him." then Gen. Scott's chance is
poor one. The British emisaries have
connected their free trade scheme of break
ing down our manufactures with a name
which, according to their own theory, is more
likely to succeed than one who has dstin-
guished himself as Scott has. Fortunately
the Amerinan people yet have chance t,

INTERESTING IN RELATION TO THE FISH
ERY QUEsTIoS.-lt is stated in a despatch
from Washington that so far from the fshe-
ry difficulties being settled, the gravest fears
are entertained in that city for the result,
and that President Fillmore and the British
Minister had long interview on the subject
on Saturday. The despatch further adds {;
1t is ascertained that the British govern
ment never contemplated enforcing the dis
puted point of the treaty as TO the headlands,
but the colonial authorities have always con-
tended Tor this Interpretation, and have pass
ed laws to that effect. Five of the armed
cruisers fitting out by the colonists are in
structed TO seize ull American fishing ves-
sells violating that Interpretation of the
treaty. They even go further, and declare
that any fishing vessels found within the
three miles are lawful prizes.
Admiral Seymour, II appears, is as desi-
rous Of preventing the execution Of this
forced construction as Commodore Perry can
be, but the danger Is that, notwithstanding
his watchfulness, some such seizure may
take place. Besides thero are at least twen-
ty thousand American fishermen interested
in this fishing trade, and authentic informa
tion has renched here that they are daily
becoming more and more excited.
The warlike demonstrations in the Senate
will not have the effect of calming this feel
ing The greatest anxiety is, therefore, felt
for the speedy adjustment Of the difficulty
Ii American blood should be spilled, war
would be inevitable. Tho negotiations
which are progressing arc, doubtless, rem.
dered more complicated by the fact that tho
President does not feel warranted in making
any concessions to England, for the opening
of the Fisheries, unless the matter is first sub
mltted to Congress-; and the feeling of Con-
gress ls not, at present, tho most amicabie,
