Exeter Hall Abolitionists.

Some thousand of the lower orders in England have subscribed an address to Abraham Lincoln, expressing their sympathies with his emancipation proclamation. Most of the signers are probably in a less comfortable condition than that of the laborers whose imagined griefs they commiserate.--It has always been the policy of the leaders in Europe to divert the attention of their overburdened white slaves to fabricated horrors and cruelties in distant climes. Most of the manufacturers and peasantry in England religiously believe that the negroes in this country are lashed to their work like oxen, and at night driven into pens, where they are securely handcuffed and chained till morning. The belief in such fabrics naturally enough excites their compassion and imparts a more cheerful air to their own condition.
