PRESIDENCY.

PRESIDEyfCL.
Wespu5ish below a remarkable article from
the London Daily .Tows, the organ Of the
Exeter Hall Abolitionists, and toe faithful
chronicler OF the proceedings of anti-sIavery tea
parties IN the provincial towns of England, in
which Mr.. William II. Seward is formally
nominated by he aforesaid British a5oitioniss,
as their candidate for the next presidency Of the
United States. The .AeIcS makes no conceal
meat of the causes TO which the New York
senator is to attribute this distinction. He .'has
afforded every possible evidence in his own
! country of his absolute and hearty condennaton
| Of the Institutions Of TIE South, which are 10
compatible with the liberties of the ReDublic
al large, and which threaten its existence -
and, therefore, he is entitled to the sympath by
and support of.he British abolionists "in The
objects to which he IS pied ged."
As the ,New8 does not furnish ''lhe evidence"
to which it aludeS in such laudatory language
we take leave to supply the omission by copy
ing the following extract from Mr.. Stewards
famous speech at Rochester, n. Y, in the
month OF October, 1855:
"Cur system of government is 'a war of
| antsgonlStIc systems conilIct between slave
| labor and free labor and ST is a mistake to
think the collision accidental, unnecessary,
of interested lanatical asiatorS. 'It is an
| rrepressibie conflict between opposing and en-
during forces, and 1t mans that the UNITED
| States must and will, sooner or later, become
/ either entirely a savehoIdrng nation or entirely
/ free-labor nation. Either the cotton and
| rice fields of South Carolina and the sugar
! plantations of louisiana will ultimately b.
settled by free labor, and Charleston aad New
! Orleans become iDarts for legitimate mrIchan-
| disc, or the rye and wheat fields Of Massai hu-
| setss and New York must again be surrendered
| by their farmers to Save culture and TO the
| production OF slaves, and Boston and New
| York become once more markets Tor trade in
the bodies aud souls of men,"
| There is such an evident affinity between
the above sentiments and those expressed in
the ,N'ews, that we are convinced the editor
| OF tina; paper could not have written as he did
without personal understanding with and by
the consent OF the New York senator and we
| therefore mold and hope the American people
will hold Mr.. Seward responsible for that
article.
No American who has single spark of
patriotism can read the article wthou; feelings
of indignation at its arrogant interference in
American affairs, and the manifest concord that
it manliests as existing between the abolition
ISIS Of this country and those of Great Britain
to bring about severance ofthe Union for the
profit of British capitalists Mr.. Seward has
certainly sold himself to this infamous combina-
ton. Until now we were at loss to explain
Mr.. Stewards sudden visit to England. 1t is
| apparent and We may confidently expect the
free use of British gold in the next presiden-
tial election for the purpose of comprising the
vllanous purpose which he and the British
abolitionists have IN view.
