S.s HOW Extreme. 1Tret!

We have bad frequent occasion to alude TO the fact
hat there is common ground Of sympathy and co-Ope-
ration between the Yancey D.sunoni5ts OF the South and
the Abolition Democrats Of the North For example
Mr. C,ssis NJ Clay, bitter Kentucky Abol,onist,
pressed strong preference for Breckindge Doug
ls O,d Joshua r Giijngs declares a similar prefer.
in very decided eras alleging that Breckn,idse is
no stakeholder BulHngame Of Massachusetts, rc-echoes
toe sentiment putting i; forth ia stronger than
eli her CLAY or Giddiugs. The New York Tribune, AID
Albany Evening Jg,nna', the Cincinnati Gfss,ie the
Olo Sa,o rrSnai the Csvel,i ---'e''''sT' 'ao Oh''
cago Tribune, the indianapolis JourHoi, and all tie
thousand other rso,oa Organs in the non-slavehoIdDg
States make &c part Of their regular business 70 praise
Breckiurjge 10 oxlt bis strength, to encourage his
party, TO d. al respects everything they can in bis be-
half /, is almo5 much part Of the daily vocation
Of the Black Republican papers to elcctoaeer for Breek-
nrJge a. s % eesoleer for their own regular candi
date Oae might think irom their talk that they would
lnos be willing to give Up Hamln and assign Breokir-
ridge the second place on their ticket.
Nearly al these powerful Aboli,ionists have, at one
tim, or another expressed their determination to break
10 the Unioa if they could slhugle the South and
.xdngush slavery Their hatred Of slavery is intense
IA, the Eagsh Dictionary has been found insufficient
10 supply word. Of ssrce denunciiton, and they have
accordingly coined epthets wherS-h to express their
utter detes ai)n Of Us and our institutions. Yet all Of
hose natca people~Oud prefer the election of Breck.
arid.e to that Of either Bell or Douglas.
Ia the South we find every leading DsuuiOuis: clamo-
-ousy advocating the election Of Breekinridgel Thus
the extremes meet The Northern AboltiOniss fear Bell
aud TO weaken him at home aud abroad publish flaming
accounts Of Breckenridge meetings aud Breckenridge
strength AZ the North which are the veriest "bosh" i'm
,ginable The Rhstts, Yanceys>Keitts Orrs, Browns,
Davises Toembses, Cays, MeRaes and numerous ether
extremely radical - the South support Breckenridge
with great energy while admitting that Lincoln will be
eected--so that an opportunity may be afforded them
70 "prsejpiiais the Cotton States into a rsvoi~iioHF
Both factions With widely dssmilar views and far
aptil feeling and sentiment the poles neverthe'
les pursuing path calculated to lead the des-
,inatcn The Northern actors want to elect Lincoln,
&c, control Of the Government and thus bring the South
under subugation or drive into dsuniOn. To do his
-f.lr'ng only John Bell and an united Southern vote
in hi, ayor-they cunnngly strive to divide the South
b. speaking ayoraby Of Breckenridge, and declaring
that he has strength in localities where he is weaker
than an unborn infant
With Southern people allow themselves to be de-
eev,d by such transparent means as theses VIII they
permit the Abeloais,s Of the North and the Dsunion-
ISIS Of the South to them further unhoy purpo-
,ess We think not. We place too high an estimate
upon their Intelligence and patriotism. Lot them then,
cas-. an united vote in favor Of Bell and Everett aud
both classes Of fcti9nisS will be destroyed and the
/ Union preserved.
