statesmen have shrewdness enough to
know that the success of our institutions
will he the downfall of their own Hence
the vigilance and anxiety with which we
are watched Whenever anything arises
calculated to disturb our repose it is hail
ed as good omen for the disruption of
the confederacy by the Brlttons. No one
question has afforded them more food
with which to satisfy their desire for the
dismemberment of the Union than has
slavery. On every occasion Of the agi-
tation of that subject here, have they
used every means in their power 10 add
whatever Of fuel to The fire they possibly
could. 1Gccndiaries have been sent here
by British gold. The notorious Thomp-
son traversed the nosthera States nciting

stitution and laws. lie was member of
Parliament, and taken. by the hand by the
Abelitionists as u po5le co-lai;orer in the

it manifested that direct interference by
the English governmaqt in our domestic
affairs was 10 be carried on Systematically,
and if possible e;feetuaily. When the

martyr to the cause Of humanity, and may

lords and ladies, who would not deign to

soil and starvcs to crafty their rapaeity.
There is no real sympathy felt for the ne.
gre by these persons. A political object
is to be accomplished by it. They well
know that the permanency OF. this gov
ernment derenus upon the nationality Of.
its administration, and that a sectional
domination would produce the very object
hey desire, and which all patriots in this
from the bottom of their hearts
ieprecate. In pursuance of the policy
above referred to, the English press has
,rrayed itself in favor of the election of
Fremont to the Presidency of the United
States. The London Times, the official

as loudly for Fremont and
Freedom as have any of the black repub-
lean presses Of this country, not except
ng even the Tribune. But the NEST open
lvowal of sentiment is to be found in the
London Chronicle. 1t not only shrieks

The election of Mr.. Buchanan would

hanger the safety OF European monarchi-

elect Fremont, for the reason that thereby
wonld be struck the first blow towards the
destruction of those Institutions and that
Union, should serve to open the eyes Of
men throughout the length

with devotion to their country that will
bring them up as unit to vote for Bu-
