tho northern States 1t expresses distinctly the British view
Of the presidential contest in the United States 1t Is I'M
questonaby the true view and the which boldly
ayowed at the beginning of the contest 1t was this view
of the issue which induced us months ago de-
that the southern States required to decide
tween submission to desposm or dsunion in the event of
the of the sectional organization by the election OF
black-republican President and Congress. AS strange
as may SEEM we believe that the real objects of the
leaders are more certainly developed in
the London Times than in any organ of their party in the
United States The true headquarters of black republican
ism are London and there that its purposes dis
closed in unmstakabe clearness From motives of policy
and expedency, the sectional champions in the United
States find it necessary to fight under the mask of
nationalism and devotion to the Unon but their or
gans in England speak out with less disguise For the
last month the whole effort of the abolition leaders
has been to conceal from the people of the North the
true issue involved in the election. They have la
bored with increasing assduity and with INSCRIPTIONS
mendacy to impress the Unon-loving people with the
belief that the supporters of Fremont the reliable
friends of the Union and that the supporters of Buchanan
are dsunionists The only foundation for this
truthful position has been that southern have frankly
warned their northern brethren submission

every consideration of honor principle, and interest to
choose the latter We have had to regret that in
this work of bold and audacious Misrepresentation such
champions Of abolition Bennett Banks and Blair have
had the cooperation of Mr. Fmores prominent
organs and we forced to add not without degree
Of eountenanee from Mr. Fillmore himself in his late
ter accepting she Baltimore nomination
But we said that the organs sectional disunon
in London frank, and therefore more reliable
than those in the United States That may not be
charged with any e1aggeaon as to the part which British
organs and British influence playing in our political
contests invite the attention of readers to
the following of the Boston Post on the late ed-
toria articles In the London Times:
FOREIGN INTERCHANGEABLE LONDON TIMES
AND FREMONTISM.
The London Times has entered the Fremont lists with
will It's issues Of September 81 49, and "a contain three
elaborate editorials in aid of the abolition cause in the
United States and all through the open purpose
foster the eud the South and the North and help
on rupture of Union. Let glance these three
discharges of the London bunderbuss
The editorial of the 22d ut begins in regular John
Bull style II tells how in the last years desposm
has advanced in Europe but how the contrary "cvi
and religious liberty" has in England received addition
upon addition w the accumulation has reached its pres
height and become the existing British constitution
For what England has done in the way Of liberty let her
receive praise. At this hour however there millions
in England they the aboring casses who are an in
ferior population having votes and ruled by force We
prefer English words in writing of English society
Though the aborers of England not ses in
nasmuch they may emgrate if they find the means
they are, to all inents and purposes ses long they
remain England 1t is fallacy suppose that
serfdon has been abolished in England 1t has been
abolished il has only been gseralzedp That's an Eng.

there is work enough for the Times at its door Let
1t help British serfs get civil liberty and help too Brit
ish disseners religious liberty to enjoy religious opn
ions without deprivation o. civil privileges and it may
talk Of additions TO civil and religious liberty.
The Times goes tell the world and the Of man
kind how far behind John his transatlantic cousin iona
than is-wha retrograde the latter has made
in civil and religious liberty. In what does this move
ment consist Is it In creating by law of its churches
established church. and requiring other churches to
pay obeisanoe to it Is it in despoing millions Of land
holders of their land and putting for safe keeping
into the hands of thirty thousand propretors Il
ii In saying to someve ten millions OF white men, you
any more but be ruled by you superiors
Is IT in saying to dozen two venerable men, be you
and your descendants hereditary legislators house
lords Is II that the inhabitants Of America have come
10 think themselves under republican institutions Just
what tough and arrogant old King George said his
speech they were "deluded and unhappy multitude"
this is alleged The Times posts up readers in the
following shape as to this great retrograd0
"The slaveowner has already triumphed in Congress
and cut away the provso which tied the hands Of pro-
SLAVERY Executive The federal forces Of the United States
march into Kansas suppress the last efforts Of the
freeate party, already reduced by defeats aud es-
tsblish the Missouri Legislature With the establishment
Of this legislature slavery will be the law Of Kansas and
slavery, established in Kansas, will command all
America beyond Kansas far the Pacific to the total
subveron OF the present relative position OF the par
ties in the Union. What a retrograde movement for
great Anglo-Saxon government and peopeP
Who shall say, after this that the British public is not
well posted on American affairs
The Times, after a rousing appeal to the North 10
awake tells how interested John in the contest" how
he twill everywh back up the NORTH and how the An
rlosaron name must be dscredited If the Times Is
rich in its information Il s no less mperious in it's de-
mands 1--WE may-we must-erpect rise In the enthu-
sasm in the North says the Times "when has caught
the OF danger And the article closes by the cheer
ing that us quick John finds out "what
Kansas is where it is" this is what John will do
English feeling will undoubtedly awake aud English
sympathy will everywhere back up the North! We are
interested parties in the contest Slavery cannot triumph
in America without discred to the AngloSaIon name
and the downfall OF the boast that the AngoSaron never
retrogrades."
The second discharge Of the bunderbuss flies right and
left The Times is rich and exact in its information as
IL in the first editorial We find little worth comment
ing upon. The burden Of Its theme is the instructions to
Gov Geary. These handled In way peculiar TO the
Times. We give only specimen After something about
skiing Marcy and King Davis the Times grayey tells lie
