TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER II.
OLD ENGLAND AND NEW ENGLAND, NOW
AND HEREAFTER.
1t has more than once been hinted in these columns
that Exeter Hall, England, and Faneuil Hail. Boston,
are alike fonen!ing the agitation Of slavery in this
country, and that tho object sought for by each
is to dissolve this Union. if slavery cannot otherwise
DO abolished. The evidence to sustain this position
is constantly increasing, and the latest article in
the Westminster Review for July of this year upon
the topic Of Christian Missions, in which the writer
attacks the African colonization scheme represents 1t
ns'the cunning contrivance OF stakeholder and init.
mates, most Enthusiastically, that the present sectional
organization which is supporting Fremont and Day
ton is not without tho cordial sympathy and opera
ton of the Exeter Hall fanatics. In concluding his
comments on the colonization scheme The writer
says:
"Less has been heard Of the society and the mis-
sion since political affairs in the United States have
taken that turn which shows that the whale is be-
coming too turbulent and has come too close under
the ship of State to be diverted by any tub that
could bs thrown to it, While the Colonization Society
was doing nothing but ill the way of obstruction, abo-
liiion has been doing what will free the Onion When
that has happened 10 more will be heard of Liberia
and Cape Palmas in the way of colonization. In aid
of slavery the mssion was founded for the sake Of
slavery it has kept alive; and with slavery in America
its African offspring will disappear
Take in connection with these hints Of a leading
Review, the acknowledged opposition Of the English
demon Journals to Mr.. Buchanan, and who does not
see in all this good cause to believe that Old England
and New England are joined, hand in hand in the
present mad crusade against the South and Constitu.

But what shall be said of those men who are thus
leaguing themselves with our hereditary enemy, to

And yet, fools that they are what would they gain

while Old England will taten upon the products o

market for her manufactures and Old England gain

the Southern staples and Old England would find ern
ployment for thousand additional merchant ships

stand point England aspires, and through the Black
Republicans she il hoping to achieve these results in

of the Union are once broken, and the saveholding

Old England is playing deep game, and the party

completely hood winked that they will not see the
destruction which they are bringing upon themselves
and the advantages which they are throwing away
