.iE BRITISH PRINTS UPON THE PRES
IDENTlAL ELECTION.


IDENTlAL ELECTION.
We find in the Newark Advertiser the
following compilation, showing the course
Of the English press upon the pending rres-
lidential election in the Uui,ed States.
i The British presses continually boast,
in the manner more familiar by their lmI-
ltations here, Of the vast enthusiasm OF Inc
crowds attending the Pierce meetings, and
Of the want Of il at all the assemblies IN
favor Of Gen. Scott. Following are few
specimens of The way Gen Pierce is spo-
ken Of by his British advocates, who mean
to elect him, If falsehood or any thing moro
solid will do it:
Extracts from London papers:
In every part ofthe country, new signs
of dissfiection III the Scott ranks are visi-
ble
| can assert that have not found a sim
| gle man ofany eminence in the social or
political world who has, with any degree
Of earneslness, manifested his approval Of
The action of the Baltimore Convention.
| Out of six hundred American newspa-
ipers, with the exception of thirty-fiye or
forty, have found no bold, earnest, reso-
lutte, manly, or apparently sincere adyoca-
| cy of the Wing nominations.
Gen. Scott's nomination was received
with coolness 10 almost ever portion of the
country.
| All the attempts that have been made
TO get up mighty mass meetings where bis
first exploits were made have resulted in
| the most lamentable failures.
Gen. Pierce is a man against whom the
silest slanderer cannot wag his tongue.
lie is moving along the Presidential course
noselessly, unpretendingIy, and, from all
the signs can read in The four quarters Of
our political horizon, he will leave his rival
far behind him.
From the London Times
s'The triumph Of the candidate of the
Democratic party, brought forward by the
men of the South, will secure, probably for
ever, the ascendancy oflibera commercial
principles; aud, il Lord Derby should next
year be disposed to take the American tar
if for his model, we have little doubt that
il will serve 10 remove the last allusion
laf the protective system from his mind
| Ia this respect. aud on this point, we take
Gen. Pierce to ba fair representative OF.
the opinions Of Mr.. Calhoun; and, as such,
a valuable practical ally to the CONNER
cal policy oflhis country.
From the London Leader.
sWe are without information as to the
views of Gen. Pierce on the subject Of CO.
operation with England; but we cannot
say that we feel any apprehension on the
point; and we shall await the final election
not without share in the confidence OF
manv American friends that it will result
weii.n
From Wilmer & Smiths Liverpool Times.
"As regards England, public sympathy,
| il is needless TO say, is enlisted on the aide
If the Democratic candidate. Not that
/ Gen Pierce is considered the better man.
Far otherwise. lie is merely accepted as
he nominee of that great party in the
Union who desire TO push the principle OF
/ free trade TO its utmost limits
From the Manchester Examiner.
"The election of Gen Pierce will at any
rate prove that the Democratic malority,
whstever may he their other differences,
are unanimous in their testimony on behalf
Iof liberal commercial policy, and any
Government he may form will be one on
which this country may rely for etiectual
co operation in reducing, wherever practi-
cable, existing impedimeuts to information
al intercourse"
These and other English journals are
IIaboring more strenuouslv for the election
Of Pierce than they did in their own recent
Parliamentary election; probably because
British interests are thought to be more de-
pendant on the sway of Locofocoism in our
country than that of the Earl Of Derby or
any other Minister at home.-LoHisrille
