Another Of the new points made by Mr.. B., and
which rivetted attention the conjunction OF ex-
tremes-the meeting of oppostes the entrance of the
antipodes-in the union OF the Northern ana tae
Southern fanatics upon the common ground OF DIS
union There the two extremes met and this he view
ed in his speech Of two ago. but he had just seen
such beautiful illustration OF it in Baltimore paper
(m rioan Supported by such apt quotations from the
recent conduct Of each extreme that he must adopt 1t
part If his speech aud present 1t to his readers
He then read from the Baltimore meica the following
editorial remarks
"The two factions, politically speaking, which are
tie most remote from another and most bitterly
repugnant to another, unite in a strange kind Of
cOaltscence upon one point the dissolution of the
Union The nufers OF the South and aboltionists OF
the North agreeing in nothing else mutually hostile in
every thing else clamorpg together in most discor
daE unison for overthrow
Of The consitution-the dismemberment of the re-
public Worthy allies fit coadjutor in such cause"
The editor. after these remarks, Mr. Is. said, had
given sample, first from the 6outhern wing of these
allies Of their hatred to the Union and open desire to
dissolve it. 1t was an editorial from leading South
Carolina paper, the Isiegroph published ut Columbia,
the seat Of government OF the State, aud in these
Words
A continuance in the Union it IT, will rain po-
litcally and pecuniary and corrupt as morally. We
cannot ,man intimately connected with any peo-
pie without partaking Of their vices; or in other
words, We cannot touch filth without being deGed
In the event OF seccssiop the South prohtting by the
experience Of the past with common interest binding
them toge her with hooks of steel with tree trade with
all the rid and hex peculiar institutions undisturbed,
her onward march to greatness and glory the admira
ton, if not the envy OF the world"
He then gave sample from the Northern wing of
these combined fanatics 1t was taken from the pro-
ceedngs OF abolition convention lately held ia the
city OF New York; and amongst which the following
resolves were found -:
Resolved, That that which is giving strength ex-
tension and perpetuity to savery-to-wt, the Union
being overthrow by peaceful withdrawal from it by
the nonslaveholding States for conscience FAKE and
self preservation must necessarily weaken limit, and
speedily eAtirpate slavery from the American soil.
Therefore,
Resolved. That the motto of every Christian and of
every patriot should be-" No union with Shareholders,
either relisiousy or politically"
Resolved That this is not question Of expediency,
On which action may be innocenty deferred +" till a
more convenient season. but of absolute morality
of obedience to God and fidelity to mankind-to be
met and carried out to the letter withou. delay
Mr. b. then gave the reflections tf the Baltimore
.4meican upon the conduct of these two harmonious
wings Of fanaticsm, and adopted them for his own.
They were in these words
THUS the two wings, nullifers and abolitonists.

TO the pledge o. the last General Assembly the wings

war He said drafted for he did not believe there
except the nulhers; and they by tn time they began
to buckle ON their knapsacks and get ready for the
overt act might begin to be ofopini,n that this thing
OF making war upon the United States was not the
thing IL was cracked up to be.
Fur himself Mr. b. said lie equally opposed to

question into the debates Of Congress- lie considered
