The triumph of the candidate of the Democratic party, brought forward by the men of the South, will secure, probably forever, the ascendency of Liberal commercial principles; and if Lord Derby should next year be disposed to take the American tariff for his model, we have little doubt that it will serve to remove the last illusions of the protective system from his mind. In this respect, and on this point, we take Gen. Pierce to be a fair representative of the opinions of Mr. Calhoun, and, as such, A VALUABLE PRACTICAL ALLY TO THE COMMERCIAL POLICY OF THIS COUNTRY.
From the Manchester (British) Examiner.
The election of Gen. Pierce will at any rate prove that the Democratic majority, whatever may be their other differences, are unanimous in their testimony on behalf of a liberal commercial policy, and any government he may form will be one on which THIS COUNTRY MAY RELY FOR EFFECTUAL CO-OPERATION in reducing wherever practicable, existing impediments to international intercourse.
From the Liverpool European Times.
"As regards England's public sympathy, it is needless to say, it is enlisted on the side of the Democratic candidate. NOT THAT PIERCE IS THE BETTER MAN. FAR OTHERWISE. He is merely ACCEPTED as the nominee of that great party in the Union WHO DESIRE TO PUSH THE PRINCIPLES OF FREE TRADE TO ITS UTMOST LIMITS."
