ADDRESS FROM THE DEMOCRATS OF ENGLAND
To THE DEMOCRATS or THE UNITED STATES
Brethren in Origin, IN Freedom & in Principle :
Your liberties linve grown out OF an old
English root. On your side of the Atlantic
tue interests of the multitude were not clip
ped and crippled hy old hereditary powers
Among you nll our principles have grown
strong, which here are comparatively feeble.
We nre proud of you MS fulfilling many of
our aspirations. We look up to you, as chief
influences of mighty administration, to
perform services for us aud for Europe, which
no other power on earth eau perform.
You nlrendy synpalhize deeply with the
PROSTATE liberties of Europe. You nre in
dignant that IN Hungary ana in Imly foreign
despOlism has inierIered to control the sacred
righ, of those countries to enact their own
independent form of government. In assist
ing, by whatever means of diplomacy or of
arms, the legitimate Independence of injured
nations, you will promote also our interests,
by rendering our arisiocracy anxious TO mike
their power less and less invidious, more aud
more concilin,ing. r..
You nro the first Democratic Republic
which lIas ever spread over vast continent,
md has extended its liberty to the millions.
You ARE not single city, and that a dom-
nnnt one, as Rome of old, or MS Venice; but
your liberty penetrates the whole mass--is
understood, loved, and supported by the real
working men. Among you the industrious
never need 10 bc poor, nor 10 he ignorant.
A seli-mnde man mny rise TO the highest Of
fees of Slnte nor is the wife or daughter of
your President ashamed TO earn livelihood
10y her own talents. Again, we say, we ore
proud of you, aud look TO your moral inhu.
ences TO assist our children to be less unlike
| you thnn we ourselves are.
Desiring thus your greatness, your honor,
and your effective diplomatic intervention in
the cnuse of rightlul liberties, we cannot
without grief nnd yexHtion see any great
forces operating which cast your Influence
into the scale of despOtism, make many Of
you sympnthize with European lyrants, and
spoil the great work which our Imagination
fondly hopes is gloriousy reserved for you.
We cannot he ignorant of the grieyOus
fact Tint in all parts of your Union there is n
new and dangerous dread of those brond
principles Of Freedom which your glorious
grnndfhihers spoke out to the world when
they declared their independence of England.
Their words we believe were-"ALL men
are created EREE and EQUAL" Only by
broad truths of this nature sinking deep into
mems consceDces and hearts can popular
liberty ever be won. II grieves Us to hear
the taunis of the enemies OF freedom, who
say that you do not love human liberty, bur
only your own selfish liberty and that you
broke loose from England under false pre-

FOREIGN DRY GOODS.

BY our customary monthly tables, showing the
importatons of foreign dry goods into New York
during the month of April 1850, 81, 50, and SO,
1t will be seen that the mportatons for the present
year largely exceed any former period being less
than S30,75l,923 during the last four months,
against s39177 for the corresponding period last
year, and S4,7S9,83l for the past month, against
50, So, 408 in April, 1852.
1t viii be that the increase is greatest in silk
goods being than hundred per cent on the i'm
portations Of April last The Importation of woolen
goods for the month exceeds that Of year one hundred
per cent cotton goods than fifty per cent; flax
thirty per cent.
These statements will strike many Of readers with
surprise, as showing the outlay by people
for the costly manufactures of England and the Con-
tnent. We are no longer contented with fine cotton
goods de lanes and other manufactures which, in bye
gone years. were thought good enough for consumption
among the States These official tables exhibit no less
than eleven millions Of dollars worth Of silks alone
brought into port during the last four months
millions and upwards in woollen goods, six millions
in cottons and general aggregate Of than thirty
millions in value.
This be it remembered when money has been in active
demand at nine to eighteen per cent per annum, for
weeks succession the paper that could be pro-
duced The dry goods business during the present
son has been active than any former period and
the market Is nearly bare Of the various descriptions Of
French and British goods, the prices OF which fully

The Of duties collected at this port is very
large for the present month The Subtreasury New

pose at the various oces the last official report

for the same period Of last year
There is constant tendency overtradng. is very
clear that the increase in foreign mporatons more
than commensurate with the growth Of population and
growth Of capital and that caution must be observ-
ed in order to maintain soundness in our business

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS AND FRANCE.

The Geographic report that the Providence
Journal had official information that the Govern
ment Of the Sandwich Islands had applied to the
Government of the United States for protection
against further encroachments by France is not
justified by the article in the Journal In the first place.
the Information Is stated be contained in private let
tiers Of recent date from Peru" and is Official but
IS vague and ndenite and in the second place.
although the article grounded upon the contents Of these
private letters Of date from Peru appears in the
editorial column, and the impersonal we is employed
throughout Is editorial distinction which the tele
graphic reporter either have noticed not
to have undersoodnot the first instance Of the kind
the part of gentlemen Of that profession The respeca
by OF the Providence Journal and the and candor
with which it is conducted would have given importance
70 the differences drawn from the alleged information had
the editor Of the Journal chosen the response
oity OF them But he has been careful to avoid doing
So and the statements and conclusions solely upon
the authority of nameess contributor which is quite
different thing from being editorialy uttered We do
mol suppose that any difficulty has arisen and still
less do we suppose that France contempates any inter-
ference with the sovereignty of the Sandwich Islands
Every thing indicates to the contrary The United States
and Great Britain and France are alike interested in up
holding the sovereignty of that group for the good
son that each well knows that the other two would per-
nit Of no appropriation by itself of those islands.
