AMERICAN TOBACCO IN EuRopE,-During
the past year there were exported fion the
United States to England ~ 2O3 900 lbs. of
tobacco, and to France 40, 500 900 lbs. The
war with Russia appears to have largely aug
mcntcd the exports of tobacco to France as
it is indispensable in the French armies. The
average annual expectation to France from
the United States is about ~ 900 600 pounds
-l5,196 600 pounds being the quantity ex-
ported in 1883. Abolish the regie Tor gov
eminent monopoly in Flance. and lower the
duties in England to any reasonable standard
and these two countries would open market
for every pound that could bc exported from
the United States.

THE ATTACKS on Mn. FILLMORE
attention of most readers has no doubt been
called to the bitter attacks now being made
ty the Pierce organs upon Mr.. Fillmore, the
nominee Of the American Party for the PrcSi
dlncy. These attacks are made as the in
tclligrnt reader has observed, before it is
known whether he accepts that nomination,
or whether he acknowledges himself mem
Der Of the American Party at all. And these
Pierce organs in their crusade against Mr.
Fillmore are calling upon the members Of
the old Wig Party to turn to and help them
traduce him, put him down. defeat him.
Now, the attention of all old line Wings is
called particularly to the facts. in the case.
These attacks Oh Mr. Fillmore being made
under the circumstances: without the knowl-
edge Of his acceptance Of the nomina ton and
without tie proof Of his adhesion 10 the
American Party, are made upon him by the
locoloco-Picrce organs because he was q
Wing and because he is in opposition to
Pierce and his cabal. Because lie was, and
fol aught they know, now only is, in the
same position towards them occupied by the
old line Wings. So, therefore, Let all Wings
see through their design, and maintain still,
as heretofore, an honest and earnest opposi-
| ton to this weak and vascilIating Admins.
| ration; and if they cannot Ito it in the old
| Wing Party let them be consistent and
sagacious enough TO do it in the American
pmty-a party powerful now, and destined
to overthrow the faction Of plundcrcrs who
at present have possession of tie country.

0J@Tt is very certain that Mr.. Douglas has

many of his political friends have urged him
to wait till 1860, but he thinks he can't af-

likely he is right in regarding the present as

Res1lrcd That we are opposed to the mis-
=" named American party because of its ten
" dcncy to deprive our country Of the benefit
&C Of emigration by drawing odious diSinc-
" tons on account of birth or rtl;gion, and
" that preservation of the naturalization laws
- as they are is hut an act of justice to the
- wisdom OF our fathers"
hope your readers will examine carefully
all these resolutions printed in the Democrat
Of the 18th inst. They will find them hold
ing up the single distinctive feature, that for
cgners have equal rights with native born
citizens; and that to extend he term Of the
naturalization Laws, or exclude them from
Office is gross injustice" say this is the
single distinctive feature Of the platform
| Apart from that it is but an iteration Of AK
lens which no man doubts, declarations
which mean just nothing, or principles which
the American party has stood upon from it:

The Platform Of the Foreign
Party,

Mr.. EDlToR:-I reckon the opponents Ct
the American party will no Longer complain
Of the name Foreign party" Every convcn-
lion they hold. every platform they enunci-
ate is but rciteration of their self consti,u-
ted guardianship of the foreigner. The in
crcsts Ct our own citizens, of whatever class
are entirely lost sight Of: and the one sole
burden Of their song is, Justice" to the for
cigncr, the preservation ofthe rights of the
foreigner. To hear the clamorings Of these
Fresh lmportations, or the special plcadings
Of tlclr retained Advocates, one would sup
pose that the American people owed some
immense debt to the nations Of Europc, which
only the giving up Of our broad lands for their
>ustcnance, and the government Of our coun-
try into their hands for rcmodrling could sat
Sfy. 1t is indeed a beautiful doctrine to
preach in this day, that every European i'm
igrant, whatever may be the cause of his
flight from his fatheland, brings with him the
"inalicnable right of ruling America, or
that to refuse him our public lands free of
cost is all act Of gross injustice" And yet
this is the grand cardinal principle, the one
sole Distinguishing rcatu re ofthat party now
usurping the name of democratic"
The following were among the resolutions
passed by the Foreign party at their con-
yention held in Elkton on the llth inst.
"Rcsolrcd, That to hinder the free exercise
g of Conscientious rights by establishing a
Z" test as qualification for office, or to de-
privc fr,emcn Of foreign birth of their dear
% est privileges by fixing unnecessary and
:" therefore oppressive disabilities to their be-
- coming ciiizns is opposed to the obvious
. intent and meaning of the constitution and
g to the faith of cur fathers.
