Northern and Southern Extremists

The simultaneous meeting OF the Anti
Slavery Society at New York. and Of the so
called Southern Commercial (.) Convention
at Nicksburg. Mississippi, brings INT" strong
contrast the extremists Of the two sections.
and in the estimation of conservative, sensl-
bic people, will show the folly Of both. Al
New York we have slavery unsparingly de-
nounced as the great sin Of the age, and
every means, not excepting the mlsreIlane,
Gus slaughter of Southern shareholders and
their families, urged rs II .iustitiable process
for it's extinction. At NickShurg. slavery Is
the sum and substance of all earthly good,
and the revival of the slave trade clamorouS'
ly demanded, as the only means OF protect
ing and maintaining Southern institutions.
The discussions in both bodies no doubt
bear rem arkable similarity, in that they
are but the attempted identification ct dead
issues, and have only this object the eX-
element OF sectional issues.-Bah. Ame'.

The English Elections.

The London Times of May >, in one Of its
articles, says:
Saturday, April 80, was the decisive day
of the present general election There re-
mains, it is true, all the counties and Irish
boroughs, but still the day was decisive
The returns as far as we are acquainted with
them. give the Tories a gain ot u, and the
Liberals a gain Of Is, leaving balance in
favor Of the Tories of 10"
The News of the same date says: "The
balance of party gains and losses in Eng
land and W ales. as far rs the elections nave
been decided, is variously computed at from
twelve to fifteen in favor of the Government.
In some of the boroughs the polling takes
place to-day, and in one or two instances,
not, We believe, till tomorrow. Cr To
last night uncertainty prevailed as to what
had actually happened in certain remote
and nearly divided constituencies. In not
few cases men have been displaced by
others nominally of the same party, though
differing in the tendency or the inten
sity of their opinions. There never was
in point of fact IL time when the lines et de-
narration were So wagering, or where II has
been found so easy for colorless and shity

One feature is indeed remarkable throughout
these elections namely. the almost unirer-
sal profession of readinesss t" vote for COM
prehensive measures of reform. Part al
this ought, we fear. 10 be set down as mere
political hypocrisy, but even viewed as such,
il is not without its value ~ an indication Of
the way in which lhr tide isrunnlng'
Mr. Bright and MIR. Golden are both re-

child are again among thu members Tor
