The Game of Drag"

Beware of the game of "brag," Iesorted to by
our adversares to keep up their declining hopes
and TO discourage the friends of Scott, if possible
1t is their favorite trick just before an election.
They have now got some of their blind followers at
work: loudly proclaiming that they believe SCOTT
will not get. one State. The individual who would
make such q statement may believe it, as nothing
but the most reckless Leluded creature-who
could be made to believe anything however absurd
or monstruous-wouldt thus expose himself to pub
lie ridcule.
The New York Tribune of Saturday says, only
the full Wing vote is necessary to the election of
Scott and Graham. We quote:
"whig every where! our adversaries bluster, and
bully. and brag, as is their nature. Care nothing
for that. If they want to gamble on the election,
let them do it; but do not help them Keep steadily
and heartily at work and be sure that every Wing
vote is brought out If that is DONE we shall beat
tlemyet. Leave them to their casing and Dragging,
and work straight on in the path of duty, of patriot
ism, to grand benifcent triumph. ForwardP'

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad

We are indebted to the kindness ofa resident Of
fcer for the 26th annual report of this company,
and regret that the pressure of court fair and daily
duties has prevented US from giving it carefulpe-
1usal, though it has appeared in our paper days
ago. We have examined it sufficiently to know
that the road is in most prosperous condition, that
its travel and tonnage is daily increasing, and that
it not only promises but will certainly, notwith-
standing the increased competition OF rival routes,
realize fully the fondest anticpations of it far
ing projectors, and that when it reaches the Ohio
River at Wheeling, which will certainly be done
by the first Of January, 1853, as proposed originally
by the officers, it will be emphatically the great
thoroughfare to the West from the sea board. The
officers of the company deserve the highest credit
for the accuracy with which they have fulfilled
even the most minute promises as to the time of
the completion of the different sections of theroad.
We shall give this report careful perusal at our
earliest convenience, and then we shall endeavor
to give the public full synopsis Of the operations,
business capacity and real merits and facilities af
forded by this road to the travelling public, and to
the transportation of the products of the whole
country.

Will 1rishmcn snpport British policys
New York, September 6, 1852.


To the Editors Of the N. Y. Tribune:
am an 1rishman, though naturalized citizen
of the United States. wish to 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 towns?
If so, my vote is decided for Scott. Loving my
atherand, whose life blood has beeL trampled out
by the English trade and manufacturers policy,
cannot uphold any man or party elsewhere that
promises to aid that accused English policy. Did
not our own eloquent Meagher, in lS47, IN Dublin,
declare that this English policy had robbed Ireland
of her manufactures, palsed her industry and
ruined her trade! and can any Irishmen born help
that policy to longer or stronger ifel l am told
that that forrest of papers, the London Times,
which has repeatedly exulted over the desolation
of Ireland, claims that the election of Mr.. Pierce
will be worth millions TO Manchester and Birming-
ham! Is it so! l may be wrong; but believe
Irishmen are not fond of British parties nor Of par
ties advocated by British tories. Will you not, not
for my sake but for the sake of truth, that 1rShmen
may know who they are serving, publish what these
English papers do say; also what Mr.. Meagher said
about British policy in 1917 Let have the
truth i'll brief, and oblige ,-,a.cr
