| EXETER HALL.-Exeter Hall is the Broadway Tab.
ernacle of Great Britain. 1t is the channel through
which all the gas, nonsense fanaticism, humbug and
treason of that mighty empire escape and save the
body polite from hundred explosions day. Ex-
eter Hal. is exponent of the intelligence, piety
| or common sense of England. 1t is true that that
country contains more wisdom, virtue, knowledge,
| political, moral and material power than the same
space OF ground on any other portion OF the earth,
but it is also true that it contains much folly, ia
naticism, ignorance and moral imbecity the most
benighted regions of Asia or Africa 1t is those
last elements of British society that represented
in Exeter Hall, with here and there radical peer,
hypocritical priest, and crazy philosopher to guide
and mould the public sentiment of the stupid and
sweltering mob.
1t is Exeter Hall, of course, that is the Pandemo
MUM of British abotonlsm, and there the emissa-
ries are commissioned, and the weapons formed for
waging upon the institutions OF the Southern
States. The fanatics of the North are but the
conscious tools of Exeter Hall, whilst Exeter Hall
itself is but part of the machinery worked by SUBJ
tie dpomatists behind the scenes Tor the aggrandze
ments OF British power through the overthrow of
the American Union. Fremont is the favorite can
didate of Exeter Hall for the Presidency, and is in
high favor with the despots of Europe.-The hopes
of all the enemies of white liberty throughout the
world conferred this cham pion of negro
emancipation. Col Fremont, if so disposed, could
easily replensh his exhausted exchequer from the
treasures of France, Austria, and Prussia, who
ment whose institutions threaten the stability of
every throne in Europe; whilst England might well
afford to expend millions Presidential campaign
which, if Fremont be elected will divide the Union,
and throw the cotton and the of the South
ern States into British hands. The interests of
nation present iEfallible clue to its policy. In
deed it is than likely that foreign gold is Law

and political influence for Fremont in the Free Sul
States.

of Massachusetts, might again revive the fame of
constitutional liberty, and Of love of the Union,
which once burned so brightly that altar. But,
alas! the fame has turned to ashes; the I" wonted

of the place lies dead in the mighty sepu!chre of

Some gentlemen travelling in stage coach near
Austin, Texas, had for a fellow passenger talka-
tive lady, who soon informed them that she was on
q visit to of her neighbors to congratulate him
upon having recently killed Know Nothing
Seeing chance for fun, one of the gentlemen at
once begged permission to introduce the other, as
Lieut. Topo, the leading spirit of Know Nothing

"a Know Nothing is he ?" questioned the irate
lady:
"He is"
swell, if ever should catch him in my house,
courtn one of my daughters, I'd run him out with
the dogs, and then send the niggers to dig the

FREMONT AND HIS KEEpERs.-The Committee who
have Mr.. Fremont in charge, have adopted a good
dodge to keep him out of the clutches Of curious
questioners The "Kurnel" has two residences
here, besides the one in California; He lives in
Ninth street and also at Staten Island When any
ugly customer, such as "our German friends" call
to see him to learn whether he is going to carry out
the Know Nothing creed if elected, the Col is down
to Staten Island No one knows exactly, however,
where the Staten Island residence is only that it is
somewhere "along-shore." The dodge is a. good
one for man who is trying to stand on two plat
forms. NJ Y Dag Book
