 has been the watchword of a party has, met with clear opposition from the majority, its partisans do not hesitate to sacrifice 1t, and seek new one to serve them as u standard as well as man to act as the apostle and defender of this new idea When Mir. Ad- ans had been defeated by General Jackson the Whigs left aside both their old chief and the National Bank. in whose defence he had fallen; it was then that MT. Clay took hIs place in the front rank, bringing with him the bill for the distribution of the public lands, and the Tariff bill Now the Wings are travelling in search of a man to represent them in lS48, and as to the fundamental principle of the party, they will borrow Il from their defeat. Those who have over- thrown Mr. Clay are the foreign population and the Wings demand the reform of the na- turalization laws ill order to expel the for, eigners from the ballot-box. Thus the Wings will become the National American party, and already claim the title; not tha they repudiate their ancient doctrines, ant old proects-they only place them in tht second rank and the principle upon whicl they will attempt to overcome the majority is reform in the laws of naturalization"

 The ssPresseo says:

 "Now faithfully speaking, we are very glat that Mr. Clay, and his school, have met witt disaster, since from that disaster there may spring, at no distant period, modification 0 their economy advantageous to our country MT. Polk, the President elect, appears dis posed to curtail the Tariff, of which we have to complain. He has even given pledges tt that effect 10 his own party. Mir. Polk, al though he is radical, is, therefore, themos welcome to us."

 The "Sieeleo has long and interesting article. We quote a remark or two:

 'sIn Il naval war the superiority is on ouI side, if we lave the United States with us That is a thought that should ever be pre- sent with us, when we negotiate on any mat ter whatever with the Union. Let Us defend our commercial interest with frmness. bu upon the Texas question, and that ol the ta- riff, let us not mix our affairs up with those of Great Britain The English, in every struggle, naval or continental, are our enc mics, the Americans our irends-let us ne yer forget thato

 And the following, no less striking thar true:

 ''The election of Mir. Polk shows, above all, how much superior are the doctrines O the party, to the influence of men.o

 The .sNational,n with great liberality ant kindness of sentiment, says:

 s'As for us, who never had any other de- sire than to see the United States augment under the empire of their institutions, theli internal prosperity and to strengthen witt France the cords of an alliance, in conformity with the interest of the two people, we hail with joy the election of Mr. Polk. In oul view, his election is the triumph of the prin, ciples we defend, and we believe that ou country has everything to gain as they pre- dominate on the other side of the Atlantic

 ''However restrained the functions of tho President may be by the Constitution, il has vast action and sure preponderanee in theil foreign policy. In word MT. Polk pos sesses all the qualities essential, all the opin- ions necessary, 10 make an excellent Presi. dent, and worthily continue the honorable traditions of those of his predecessors who belonged to the Democratic party. So it i: judged by his friends, and we are sure the future will not belle our hopes and their pie dctions.o

 Such IS the contrast exhibited in the feel, ings and opinions of the English and French nations towards our people and their institu- tions and 1t is fair to suppose that we recip- rocate the friendship of the one with as much cordiality as we return the hatred of the other
