The PARTY PRESS AND A BRITISH PARTY"-Tu

THE PARTY PRESS AND A BRITISH PABTY"-rns
COURIER AND ENQUIRER ANSWERED..
The partisan jo' nas OF the rump of the whig
party nave IN their desperation, greedy seized the
TACT mat the liberal journals of England, represent
ing the masses and the popular party, have declared
their preference for General Pierce rs candi-
date ior The Presidency because they regard him as
the representative of liberal principle like their
own and these Seward and abolition journals have
perverted this fact by endeavoring to make IL ap-
pear that Pierce is supported by the British, Is
nation ard government and that the democratic
party in this country j., therefore, 1.-The British par.
ty' in contradistnction tn the wing party, which
they dignity with the exclusive appellaton OF the
American party From experience OF their I'M
prncipled couife, We were not surprised at this
But we confess we we're not prepared TO find 80 re-
spectacle paper as the Courier and Enquirer fol-
lowing IN the wake OF those INSCRIPTIONS journals,
whose conduct it has denounced from time 10 time
and even within the last few days. and not only go
but hazarding such assertions about the trade and
commerce of the country must be either most
damaging to its reputation for commercial know
ledge or to its character for integrity, In making
statements which il docs not believe for mere party
purposes. II Is placed in dilemma between igno-
rance and dishonesty and is reduced to tho necessity
Of being impaed on one horn or the other. To such
pass does partsanship lead its organs and agents,
when they blndIy submit TO its dictates, and are
carried away headiong by its reckless spirit
In its number of Saturday last, the Cesw'g de-
cracy are British party. (which win b news
to the unterrifed,') and that tie wings
are the only American party in the United
States. And how does it bring its readers TO this
which is one Of the most liberal papers In England,
and ii decidedly in favor Of Pierce, because Ne h
" the candidate of the democratic progressive free
% Iane parry Inc neqteh lis is well known e =
rights and liberties Of the OF the poopl6, In
opposition to the aristocrncy. 1t Is not At all won
derful th.t such journal should express its sympa
thy with the democracy this side Of the Atlantic
Why does not the Courier quote from the Mov~sng
Herald, the Post, the STANDARD, and the other or
gans Of the high tory pary-the party now actually
in power? Why does il not quote from the Pic
torial Life ofGereral Scott published by the Wing
Committee at Washington, the testimonial Of the
late Duke of Wellington in favor of the WING can
didate? The Duke of Wellington has been always
the head and very embodiment Of the tory party,
and his letter may therefore be regarded IS speak
ing the sentiments Of that party.
We have now shown that the high tariff party are
and that low tariff, or a moderate tarif, 20 far
from being an injury to the country, is the very re-
vere; and that the centralization system accunu
ates wealth to the destu Of the lives and hap
piness Of the great OF the populationand this
is the miserable system approved by the Duke OF
Wellington and the British tory party, which the
Courier and other partsan Journals want to strength
en-, extend and enlarge in this now happy great
glorious, and free country.

TIE COMING PRESIDENTIAL REvoLUT1oN-AwFU
PROSPECT EOR GEN. SCOTT AND THE ABOLITION
lists OF THE NORTH.
The returns OF the recent State elections helda
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, received by tels
cial But they indicate the facts sufficiently broa1
and expansive for the mind to perceive that, In the
coming Presidential election in this country, We
are going to behold one of the most extraordinary
revulsi0ns or revolutions against military availa-
blity and mere military humbug, that ever took
place among q sensible and great people. There
seems to be no doubt that Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Indiana in the recent contests during .h the be-
mOcracy by large and astounding majoritiss There
Is no necessity to enter into details Of this county
that county, this district that district, IN rc-
ference to these great results the broad fhct liz
before US, and that fact is premonitory symptom
Of the prodgious revolution In public sensir .ent
with respect 70 military humbug, which y6Qr be
fully developed at the polls next month,
The cause of these recent result m The elections
throughout those great stats, are both remote and
immediate. The reTr.de causes may he traced 70
me shocking df~~ppointment which even the intel
iigent ana conservative portion OF the wings have
m from having rsnse on
recommendations fer the highest office OF the nation
We allude to the sad failures Of General Harrison
and General Taylor in the discharge OF their duties
as chief magistrates of this country In some res
poets General jackson failed also to realize the
! wishes of his friends But the public dsappOint-
ment felt from the incompetency OF bis military
successors, was great fatal Marked and irrevesibe.
The more immediate cause OF this change In popular
sentiment, with respect to military availability and
OF the triumph of common sense, generalized under
the name OF democracy, over the silly sentiment Of
military glory-as manifested by the people OF
Pennsylvania, Ohio, ard Indiana-may be found in
| the recent electioneering tour OF General Scott
himself, in which he pronounced from twenty
to thirty of the most extraordinary and most ridi-
culous speeches that came from the lips q man.
IL is not necessary to refer to particular passages Of
| these speeches-to bis sudden love Of the rich
Irish brogue, his discovery Of beauties in the strong
German accent, his admiration Of the horses and
cattle and women Of Kentucky and his aOknow-
| ledgment Of the enthusiasm being 50 great
among his admirers when they had caught
him almost in pa,ris s,aturahbus What was wanting
in the sad historical "reminiscences Of the elections oil
| Harrison and Taylor was made up by the living
evidences exhibited in the series Of extraordinary
speeches pronounced by Gen. Scott from the stump
In the Western States. The effect thereof strong
and startling has be- seen in the recent State cleo
tons there, producing r, ~outon even IN tne wing
party, which gives the democra, ah eVer"nsAninS
triumph in these States, 9
But this is not all. Gen. SCOTS elec, 0ax srlne
career IN ONO, kentucky, and Indiana, havine - =
nbihly within their borders, he has now approached
the State OF New York, aud is, at the present
moment. within our limits, eudeavoring probably
TO produce similar results in this great State next
month which he has caused in the nsiQhhorinV
State during the last few days for there en- BE-
notc no reasonable doubt bit niat IN the I'd Of we1t
month, the great State Of Netc York ,rtN 10 for
GENERAL PIERCE, the den cratic candidate bE ons of
mf most tremendous n'ajorties that the democracy cor
hod 70. tie last thirty gears.
