WAR WITH ENGLAND Courier q Enquirer
has anumber of extracts from various speakers, de-
ciaring themselves in favor Of Polk and Dallas,
from which that journal endeavors to show, that
should the democratic party be successful, war
with England would in all probability ensue, from
difficulties arising out OF the Texas and Oregon
questions 1t is certainly very singular how these
political editors, speakers and WRITER'S do contra.
dict themselves, and make every thing they say
,erfectly absurd. Here we have had the Courier


aborng for long time past to show the necessity
of electing Mr. Clay, in order to sustain high
tariff policy, and thereby benefit the manufacturers
of this country. Very well. There is no objection
to that view Of the matter. But yet the Cowrier
fails to see that by its showing that if the cleo
ton OF Mr.. Polk was to bring about war with
England, that event would do more to benefit the
manufacturers Of this country than all the high
tariffs that ever could be enacted.


war between this country and England would
throw the whole of the market into The hands OF
American manufacturers, and therefore it is much
more probable that the manufacturers, who are
looking ahead, are just as likely to vote for Mr.
Polk as for Mr.. Clay, in order TO benefit their own
industry II forty, fifty, sixty, or any other per
centage, by excluding foreign manufactures, is to
benefit domestic industry and labor, 1t would Ger
taialy be much more beneficial to get up war and
exclude them altogether.
