tract from The London Times. paper which
circulates 10000 copies daily, and the &c.
\ knowledged Tory government, organ Of Eng
land. Speaking of The resul, of the Dem
ocralic convention, it says:
I'VE greatly prefer Gen. Pierce to either
Gen. Cass, Mr.. Douglas, or Mr.. Buchanan

la,ions of the Union with This country and

in The electoral contest of this week, is the
national sanction and inviolable establish
