We have had occasion lately to show great many
points of coincidence in the opinions OF the Southern
rights men and abolitioniss. l. They both believe
in the right of State secession 2, They both believe
the Fugitive Slave Law unconstitutional. 3. They
both denouuce the acts organizing Territorial Gov
erpmenls Tor Utah and New Mexico. T. They both
abuse the Compromise measures as whole
We can scarcely meet the Fire Eater now who does
not say that the Fugitive Save law is Unnecessary
that the Constitution makes ample provision for The

States to make the necessary provision for HE resu-

The Boston Atlas gives the following account OF
Deacon Bradford, the antiquarian and geo ogist of
PIympton, Mass, who was killed last Sun
dav bv being thrown out of wagon in returning
from church:
"Old Deacon Bradford, whose sudden and melan-
cholv death is recorded above, was a very worthy
and at the same time, quite an eccentric person.
He was we believe, bachelor, and had many of the
peculares of that unfortunate portion of our fell
low citizens. We had the honor of sitting side by
side one session in the Legislature with Deacon
Bradford, and we always found him provided with
needle and thread, beeswax and thmble, TO stitch
up rents in his clothes, or put on new button, and
he had the queerest old snuff box and spectacle case
imaginable. The town books of Plympton, as kent
by Mr. Bradford are faithful chronicles of the times
The votes of the town, and the names of the candi-
dates notony recorded there, but the politics of
many are given, and the opinion of the clerk is also
given as to their fitness for office In the election
case which came before the election committee
last year, Mr.. Bradford was summoned as wit
ness, and his books were brought up also. We
had good opportunity of examining them, and
they were in many particulars curious, and their
eXactness remarkable If every town i'll the COM
monweath had its records as well kept, the re-
searches of future historians would be greatly
restricted and be much less laborous. Deacon
Bradford was man of sterling integrity, and
most devout Christian. In the celebrated Session
of l843. Mr. Bradford was member from the
town of P!ympton, and for his promptness and at
tention to his duties the whig members presented
him with beautiful walking stick. He has now
passed away, and although his warning was
briefhe was doubtless well prepared for the sum-
