Is it possible that there can be found more
perfect" union of antipathes" than is present.
ed in the union Of these three individuals,
Messrs. RHETT, PIcKENs, and DUNCAN, the
one boldly avowi principles, which the other
two are ready to encourage dissolution of
the Union rather than suffer the discussion
Off
Abolition is subject which we have most
studiousy avoided meddling with, and eshould
not have touched on it now, but to show forth in
its most hideous form, the most nnhoiy ALI
aace that the world ever Witnessed, now adj
vocatng the Sub Treasury. II will be recol-
lected that Mr.. Calhoun, declared last No
vember, in letter, explaining his policy, and
giving his reasons for uniting with the Sub
Treasuryites, that he was acting with those
"in ,rhose risdon,, .frmness and patriotism
hare no reason 10 confde.' The reason as
signed by him, at that time, for this new step
of his was, thereby to effect unio" Of The
South. Mr.. Calhoun now looks upon the
Sub-Treasury as paramount to any other
question, either Tariff or Abolition, as being
one Of " deiirerance and reform"
! A deliverance" from whom, or from
what There is something in this too sig
nifcant to be passed over lightly. A union
of the South F.! Southern confederacy And
deliverance Is il for the accomplishment
of these objects that Mr.. Calhoun and his
Southern followers have united with the adj
ministraton, Sin ,chose nrisdom, Jfrmness and
patriotism (they) hare no reason TO coafde,"
to assist it in fastening upon the country a
measure, loathed by the people
Ifthey should succeed in establishing the
Sub Treasury, how long thereafter can this
"union of antipathies" continue to act togeth-
err! Not long, we predict.
1t may be asked, what then is the ultimate
object of Mr.. Van Buren, and his friends on
the one side, and Mr.. Calhoun and his friends
on the other, in uniting together in favor of
this one measure We will answer. The
object Of the former (Mr. Van Buren,) is to
establish grand consolidated Government.
To create a MONARCHY, in every thing else,
but in the name.
The object of the latter, (Mr. Calhoun,) we
will first let the Globe answer; which in 1888,
after the compromise, said, ".Mr. Calhoun
and his coadjutors find their conspiracy
against The Union premature. Every Southern
State sci their faces against his scheme, in de-
spite Of lille knots Of .Nuilifers set TO ,cork 10
produce different result. The failure has
induced a ,,etrograde Increment, but the pro-
ject Of Southern league and separation is NOT
abandoned. To gain time and support, Mr..
Calhoun has patched up a truce Nth Mr..
Clay" How exactly does this prophecy,
correspond with Mr.. Calhoun's avowal in the
letter already alluded to his object being
Southern Confederacy!
The Cincinnati Republican of the 9th ul-
timo, holds the following language in regard
to Mr.. Calhoun and his designs:
"Mr Calhoun, has for long time, entertained the
desire to bring about separation Of the Union. His
object is to create magnificent Southern Empire, to
| be composed OF the Slave States Of the Union, and
Texas This fact ascertained when we were last
at Washington city. The subject was freely discussed
| at dinner party given by the Texan Minister, at
which Messrs. Calhoun, Preston, and other distinguish
ed gentlemen, favorable to the Texan cause pre-
sent Mr. Calhoun, BY advocating the measures Of
| Mr. Van Buren, hopes 10 hasten the crisis. He can
entertain expectation Of becoming President Of the
United States. He knows full well that he cannot rea
sonably hope to obtain the vote Of single Northern
State in the event he should become a candidate. He
understands Mr. Van Buren,, and not deceived by his
professions in behalfof the South He has faith
| confidence in his measures or principles and only
seems to favor them, with the ulteror vew stated
above. He is looking forward to separation OF the
Union and is doing all he can, in conjunction with the
Abolitionists, to accelerate it,"
Where is the patriot who beholds this "unon
Of antipathies" united to fasten the Sub-Trea-
sury on the country, who must not condemn
it, as the Globe did in 1894, as being both
"DISORGANIZING AND REVOLU-
