From the N. o. Courier. ENGLISH INFLUENCE,

American abolitlonsm Is of English
 origin, first propagated by English pa pers,
 sustained by English funds and supported
 by English sympathy. English presses
 scattered abolition pamphlets through New
 England, and at time when public opin-
 ion was averse to the new fanaticlsm Eng
 fish gold upheld papers in support of the
 then odious cause. When the Anti.sla.
 very faction became numerous and found-
 ed the beginning of that political party, ! which now threatens to obtain the control
 of the Federal Government, it was still
 encouraged by British aid. It was pretty
 we'll ascertained that large sums of Eng fish money were employed in 1856 to pro.
 mote the election of Fremont.
 These are facts often repeated in the
 South, though indignantly denied by the
 abolitionsts. But the candid confessions
 or rather the ingenious boasting of the British presses prove many of the forego- ing statements. For example the Lon don Times in it's issue of October 23d says
 in the course of leading article on the
 slave trade and slavery in the colonies:
 "The subject of slavery ought to be under
 stood in our day. Different people may take different views of the facts, and of the conse-
 quences to be deduced from them, but at least
 the facts--that is to say the DATE of the sla- very discussions-should have been long since ascertained and established. Upon some lead
 ing points, indeed, we in England are agreed; but this agreement of opinion is confined to the limits of the four seas. In the United
 States the battle as yet is one of first princi- pies. The French Government for long time past has been endeayoring to renew, under an- other name, the practice which has been long since condemned by the public opinion of the country. Spain, bound by endless treaty en- agreements to aid in the repression of the slave trade, is, in point of fact, the great supporter of the system. Now, in England we say that the slave trade shall no longer be permitted to exist in any quarter of the globe if by nego- tiation or by arms it can be repressed. Slave " shall not exist in our own dominions-tha at is municipal matter, entirely within our own control; but the slave trade shall not be carried on anywhere if we can put it down. In the case of the United States, indeed we are compelled to content ourselves with the assurance that the American cruisers will do the work. WILL ANY ONE, HOWEVER, SAY THAT IT IS NOT MAINLY TO THE CEAsELEss ExERTIoNs-To THE PHfLANTHRoPIc ENERGY ITO THE ENTREATIEs--To THE PERsUA- SION OF THIS COUNTRY THAT THE ANTI-sLA- VERY PARTY IN THE STATES OWES ITS STRENGTH BLOT OUT ENGLAND AND ENG- LIsH sYMPATHrEs, AND ENGLISH POWER FROM THE MAP OF THE WORLD, AND THE BATTLE BETWEEN THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH WOULD BE FOUGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC ON vEEY DEFER ENT TERMS"
 Surely few South of New England and Pennsylvania will deny that the strength of the hnt-slavery party is derived in great measure from England This is no more than what we have asserted and proved repeatedly, and we hazard little in predicting that the Northern abolition ma- mia will not begin to subside until the British trunk on which it has been engraf- ted begins to decay. The "American" Anti-slavery society whose members are numbered by millions, is British insti,u- lion. Its aims and those of the British government are identicalS both aim at the subjugation of the Southern States and none are so generous in applaud ng the abors of the Abolition party as the Brit. sh aristrocracy. No American authors are quoted and fauered by the English but those of abolition proclivilies. No guests are so welcome at the ordy halls ,f England as prominent American aboli- onists.
 It IS mainly upon division caused by the Antl-slavery agitators that the British government relies for impun;iy while out aging the rights of our mariners, insult ng our flag, intefmeddling in cis-Atlantic | olltics, poisoning the minds of the cii- T ems of the Spanish American States { galnst us, thwartsng our commercial in-
