Garrison, says the Washington Union, Il.
that Mr. Rhctt is iahoring 10 lac same cud OF
di,union with himself. The strongest con.
cciylhlc arguncnl to turn Mr.. Bbrl' from
his madness is the fact that Mr. Garrison is
lis ally This Urgumcnt,' on the oHc huud,
mud this 'rcbukc' on the Other sccms TO
challenge at least Slight examination.
Mr.. Grrison is in favor OF dissolution
of the Union; so is Mr.. Ihcu; therefore,
each should feel himself convicted of folly
aud madness by his agreement with thc
other!
Such is the logic OF the Union. II i, lc
sound, it is equally effective ia another di.
rcriiou. Tho onion is aud ever Inns been
rauclorous in its opposition to the Free Soil
movement, especially as represented iu the
persons of Joshua K. Gliding, John y. Halo.
and Charles Allen, whom 10 pr0lcs,cs To
regard as disorgauilnrs md traitors, simply
because they are CppoSrd to tie further cN-
tenion OF slavery. Nevertheless, HIessrs.
Giddngs Halo aud Alien claim to hr devoted
UniouiSis; so do the editors OF the tHiJa.-
The former alike disrountrnuurc the di>uu-
ion doctrines of Mr. lihcit and Mr.. Garrison; !;
80 do the Latter. Ergo, 'ihc strongest con-
ceivIhle rchu.c To- Mcssrs. Giddugs, llulu
and Allen, is the fact That the editors OF the
Gn'oa are tailoring to the same end OF uu-
ion us themselves; and Tlc strongest con
ccvahc argument to turii' the editors of tie
Onion. 'iruni their madness is the fact hat
hirSsrs. tiiddings, Hale aud Allen arc ilitir
allies! Is not this rs clear us mul3 Ger
tniuIy; for, according 10 the old saw, II
is poor rule thai will rot work both WAYS.
Now, Mr.. Garrison is no, able to discover
why hc should feel himself rrItllird hy the
position Of Mr.. Rheit. It is equally plain,
that Mr. Rhc,t does not couSldcr himself
convicted OF error 10y the position OF Nj
Garrison.
Extremes meet. The disuuionsls of the
North aud Of the South train 10 tie sumc
company, aud are marching TO eject t@c
same Object
Very well. Extremes meet The Union
lists OF the North Free Soicrs and al!) and
of the South are 'hnil fellows, well met
aud rally around the same sjuuiarl-t Mo%
ron EVER
Let us runcmrc this bladder of soyisry.
Extremes NAV sOmCtimgs meet, t!i they
never coilescp. urd are never Identical. An
extremely proGigHtc person may reform aiid
hccnms extremely cruSuIiOuS and plHrsai-
cal, but he does not Occlpy Tie same post
Iinn. An extremely cold and an extremely
loi day meet in their extremity, but not iu
their result The North Pole is at ono tx
Ircme the South Pole TT lIlc otter hu; they
do not meet.
The Middle course is TIC suG'St.' Be
tween WHAT Baiwecn Christ aud Belial--
liberty aud slaycry-right and wrong--iu-
iegrity aud yillAiry? Who will affirm This,
explicitly? And until an antagonist appears
in the field, it is useless to bent the air.
The controversy with slavery is not one
Of eXpedency, trade, political economy, par
~ rivalry, or sectional interest: If II were,
il might admit of mutual compromise, gem
crous magnanimiy, liberal concession, c&-
trcme iorhearauce. 1t is primarily aud es-
scnl!aly, moral one, and therefore pnra-
mount 10 all other considcrnlions--inc
bic us the law of grayitaion, incapable Of
dilulion, authorizing no temporary OF lasting
truce, aud involving the supremacy OF lhc
Eternal I.nwgiycr. We affirm slavery to be
,noraly wrong, the acme of human trans
gression, mn utter violation of iuNlicrable
rights: and therefore, we are morally pre-
cuded from treating il rs a question OF per-
sonnl accommodation, clrcumstCnlial iolera-
lion, or necessary endurance. lndulgences

murder God never created human being
TO be Il slave; therefore, he never created
one TO he IL stakeholder. The sin of slave
~, like every other sin, must be dealt Will
in an uncompromising spirit, and ubaudonc'
at whatever cost or hazard.
This is the sum total Of our anli-sloycrl
'ianaicism'-this is tine 'cNtremc point
which we occupy, aud which is so general
ly,reatcd as absurd aud dangerous. III the
