Fremontism in Canada-British Hopes of a Dissolution of Our Union.

We have had occasion to allude several times to the undisguised solicitude manifested in the organs of aristocracy and monarchy in the Old World in behalf of the election of Fremont, and to give extracts from their journals showing that they regard the Black Republican organization as hostile to the maintenance of the federal Union. The same solicitude and the same view of the Presidential contest prevail among Queen Victoria's subjects in Canada. A gentleman of intelligence and respectability who resides in Iowa, recently had occasion to pass through Upper Canada, when and where he had ample opportunity to learn the wishes and sentiments which prevail in that portion of the British dominions. He has been kind enough to furnish us with the following memoranda, which are worthy of careful perusal by all who look with like horror upon monarchy and disunionism. - Washington Union.

In passing through Upper Canada last week I had occasion to stop over one day at the City Hotel in London. I was not there long until I got into conversation with several gentlemen of that place on the subject of our election in the United States. I was more or less surprised when I learned that nearly all of them were quite enthusiastic for the election of Fremont. I remarked to them my surprise at their deep interest in our Presidential election. In answer, they stated that the result of our election this fall was of vital importance to them, and that they were not without their influence in the States, also. "Ah!" said I, "it is rumored in the States that British gold is circulating pretty freely in the Fremont cause." "Yes," said they, "British gold and British men, too, will have more influence in your coming election than you are aware of, sir." "But," said I, "the Buchanan men say that if Fremont is elected, and undertakes to carry out the doctrine laid down in his platform, it will work a dissolution of the Union."

"God send!" cried several at the same time, "that's what we want; we have always said your mushroom republic never could succeed: you never can do anything as a nation until you adopt a limited monarchy like ours; you of the North must cut yourselves off from those cursed slave States of the South and become annexed to Canada. Already the people of the New England States are ripe for it. They are wealthy, and want titles of nobility, and they will have them. Ah! sir," said they, "your Democracy is a perfect farce." "Well," said I, "are you all Fremont men here?" "Oh, yes, of course," said they. One man, however, who told me he was born in Lower Canada, said he did wish the people in the States could elect Buchanan, for he wanted to see our republic succeed; but he said there were too many influences brought to bear against him. Said he, "Sir, you have no idea of the influences that are at work in your country to secure the election of Fremont. The people here look upon his election as certain to dissolve the Union, hence they are so enthusiastic for his success."
