Extremes Meet.

We commented yesterday the sentiments advanced b,
the Fanatics of the North, hostile the Constitution ant
TO the Union which. they tell having failed promote
the cause Of civil liberty, ought be overhrown-,o which
holy work they have dedicated their lives We little ex-
Peeted that from the opposite point Of the compass we
should almost at the moment be greeted by similar
sentiment weknew, indeed that. before the era OF free
trade, it the habit Of the Button boys TO talk in
ths ridiculous veins but had supposed that the
throw OF the Protective Tariff would have reconcea even
the nuhers OF the Palmetto State to the perpetuty Of
Union, the value of which, however sshtngy spoken OF
now will be shown to have been inesimabe II shall ever
be dissolved by the eOnjont hostility of Northern and
Southern fanaticsm.
Att dinner given r. B. Rher. Esq by his cons,itu-
on's Of the Bsrnwel district the following toast was given
by Isaac NJ. Hutson, ESQ.,:
The Union Of the Aaies-Designed by the trainers of
the Constitution to be safeguard OF Liberty, it has now
become an instrument OF oppression, and a curse"
It's remarkable coincidence, that abou, the time that
Mr. Hu'son was uucring this sentiment in South Carolina
the Abolition leaders in New York were resolving almost
IN the same language that the Constitution and Union
mad shpwrecked the experiment OF civil liberty The pro-
cesss OF reasoning, however by which this sage concu
sion seems to have been simultaneously reached North

sumo, essentially dierent-lhe former assuming, as the
ground OF his denuncaon the powers Of the Federal
Govtrnmen under the existing Constitution have been

OF Slavery; while the latter with equal vehemence will
affirm that those have been exerted for the prostra
ton OF the domestic institutions OF the Souh and
eay for that which is the basis and the best OF them all
involuntary scTvitude.
Reasonable men, IN both sections OF the county, will be
apt to conclude that both OF these uas wrong; and
ihatiis far wiser to cling Constitution it is and
insist upon rigid conformity provisions than to EN-
