OTOne thing that has tended as much
as anything else to open the eyes of our
Irish fellow citizens in regard to parties in
this country, and cause them to enlist under
the Scott banner, is the fact that the Gov
ernment papers in England all advocate the
election of Pierce. The course of the En-
gIish Government towards Ireland has left
no room in the minds of the Irishmen for a
doubt as to the motives which govern the
English press in their preferences on this
side the Atlantic. The British papers ad-
yocate the election of Pierce because, they
say, (and truly, too) that he will be more ia
yorable TO their Commercial Policy" than
the Wing candidate; and as this same "Com-
mercial Policy" is one of the principal caus.
es of all the woes of Ireland, no true-hearted
Irishman can do otherwise than oppose it.
and with it all who favor it, whether on this
or the other side of the ocean. The Irish
have now taken proper view of the sub
iect, and will not, we think, be soon agair
deceived as they heretofore have been by
Locofoco demagogues. No class Of people
in our country are more interested in the
success of Whig principles and policy thar
they, and our greatest surprise is that they
have not, long before this, seen it as they
now do. They have heretofore been mis-
led by the word democracy but will no
probably be again.--PiquG Register

THE PRosPEcT.-1he New York Day
EooI--a journal devoted in the cause OF Mr..
WEBSTER, as an independent candidate for
the presidency, ana one occasionally quoted
by the democratic papars--in its issue OF the
Goth ult., commences an article entitled
"The Elcction,' with the following re-
marks:--
"There is no denying that General SCOTS
prospects are growing brighter, and bis
friends more confident of his success. The
apathy that everywhere prevailed, during
the summer months, is now giving way to
excitement and enthusiasm. Our exchange
papers from Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio,
Indiana and even Michigan, contain glow
ing accounts of the enthusiastic Scott meet
ngs and the Wings in each State conf
IDENTIFY assert their power to carry all OF these
States for Scott. Michigan, General Cass'
State, 1t is believed by them, will surely go
Tor the hero of all the wars we ever had!--
There are any number Of free-soiers in
Michigan, who will vote the whig ticket, and
with their popular candidate Tor Governor,
there is great probability that the State will
go for Scott.
at is useless to shut our eyes to the
truth; and that there has been great
change in the aspect of things, within the
last few weeks, no one can deny" f-
ScoTr's TRIAL BY THE PEOPLE. The elo-
quent Ogden Hoffman, in u speech to the
"acres of Whigs' who assembled in the
city of New York, to rati(y the nomination
of Scott and Graham, thus alluded to the ar
rest of General Scott in Mexico, by order Of
an administration that shrunk from the task
of afterwards trying him. The issue is now
made up, and the scar-covered defendant
"puts himself upon the country for trial by
the people: .... ....
"Many time thought that justice would
be done to the venerable soldier; and
notwithstanding my weariness, | would
speak for hours upon subject so pleasing tt
my feelings. remember when was {
