Pierce is ii,e Man for the Time.

II m the London Leader.
The tame and somewhat stagnant at.
mospicro of English politics seems to
nrcyen, Englishmen at present from
reading truly that which passes in coun'
tries less lost TO action; and the incapac.
ity shows ilself in variety Of ways, and
at such distant parts, as to attest its deep
seat and its extent. The Times thinks
that franklin Piercc's first address to his
countrymen. as President of the United
States, must he read with "a large abate
ment from the meaning which his Ian.
guage might be understood TO convev;'
while the .Norning Chronicle thinks that
i, is all self neu,ralizcl, and declares
nothing. Now the language of the doc.
umcnt disproyes the Chronicle, as the
history o. the speaker rc(utes the Times.
Gen. Pierce declares that he will main.
tain the Union against sectional and ia.
naticol agilations, and that he will cn.
force the compromise acts. In America
tbs will not at all be taken as an ad.
mission that lie is an out .and.out sup.
porter Of "involuntary scrvitudc," but
rather that he is not prepared to inter.
fere with state III gh;s-that he will not
sacrifice the polite al nationality of the
whole Union to the agitation Of a qucs.
ton not yc, ripe for settlement, and per.
haps never 10 be settled by the Union.
And he is right; the uni,el nationality OF
tie whole Un,oa is wanted Just now for
The purposes Of the republic ana its white
population.
franklin Pierce declares that the \
merican fay, wherever it waves, shall
protect the American citizen, who now
wanlers, be it remembered, in the most
distant parts, not only Of America and OF
Asia, bu. Of Europe. He exalts the stan
spangleA banner as standard Of hope
for the oppressc throughout tho world.
His country will continue to speak, mot
only hyits wor!s but by its acts, the Ian.
gungc of sympathy, encouragement, and
hope, 10 those who earnestly listen tc
tones which pronounce for the argcs
rational liberty" His government will
not encourage expeditions in breach oil
International law; but "uncontrollol by
any timil lorebo lings Of evil from cx
pansion," it recognizes as ne ccessary
''hc acquisition Of certain possessions
, not within our jurisdic.ion.' He is if
, , favor of peace, but, prompt reciprocit!
will be givin and required"
Now, can we construe such languag
except to mean that America will be a
. peace with those who befr lend her, bu
that by regular process sanctioned unde
international law, Cuba must be annex
70 cd? " %,
.e 1fthis language refutes the Chronicle
> what ground has the Times for presum
ing that it mu.t be read with "a large Q
;, batement." Why was Piorcc choser
and by whom? He says himself, eth

Ohio has in progress of construction
the largest extent Of railway, and also
the largest amount of surplus produce
TO carry of. No other state compares
with her in this respect. Take the fol-
lowing general fact in advance:
In 1851 hel wheat crop, in round
numbers (Which was carried off in IS, ,52)
amounted to 80 millions of bushels
This was about one fourth of the entire
amount raised in the whole Union. The
state contains two millions of people.
and their consumption of breadstufs
was, therefore, 90 millions of bushels
and the surplus 2a millions. By the
actual exports we reach the following
results of the years operations:
