The Union of Extremes.

THE opponents of Cancellation at the
NOrth-the mo compromise, no conces-
sion Republicans of the Ni5rns school
now stand on the same platform with the
Secessionists ofthe South. The extremes
meet. Both resolutely resist the conces-
sons Of opinion. The modification OF ultra
views, the spirit OF Cancellation necessary
to preserve the Union. These Disunion-
lists whether North or South Of Mason &
Dixon's line--wil be crushed out by tho
patriotic Union.loving sentiment of the
country"
The first voice raised at the North after
the secession Of South Carolina, says the
New York Express, was that Of Wendell
Phillips, in open exultation over the i'm
pending dissolution of the Union. lie
declared ito be the grand contamination
at which the Abolitionists had been aim
ing for years,-and thanked God for the
prospect of their speedy triumph. He
denounced Mr.. Seward for his devotion
to the Union,-applauded the Tribune
for its unfinching hostility to all attempts
to preserve il, and for its advocacy of
pcaceable separation. and paid the
highest possible tribute Of praise to South
Carolina for the boldness and courage with
which she had brought on the crisis
This is by no means the first time that
the Dsunionists at the North ard South
have united in their policy; but it is the
first time they have been able to join in
congratulations on the apparent triumph
of their views.

The Southern Confederacy and the
Suppression of the Slave Trade.

The Charleston Mercury mentions a
report that Mr.. Davis, President of the
Southern Confederacy, has vetoed the
bill passed by the Montgomery Congress.
for the suppression of the African slave
trade. On this the Mercury thus COM
ments:
The grounds Of the veto are not MS yet
known, but it is certainly unfortunate
that there should be difference between
Congress and the Executive on such a
subject. Slavery is the immediate cause
of the existence of the Confederacy.-
That differences should already arise con.
corning it, in its councils, is very much
to be dcplored. That Congress expected
no such thing is plain, from the fact that
IL removed the injunction of secresy, and
published the act to the world. This act
is modification of the laws of the Uni
ted States upon the subject, which were
adopted, with all the other laws of the
United States, by the Congress Of the
Confederate States. The laws of the Uni.
ted States make the importation Of slaves
piracv. This act Furnishes it as high
misdemeanor. To veto the latter is to
keep in force the former. Can this be
the object Of the veto?
We may add that the Constitution of
the SOUTHERN Confederacy positively
prohibits the African slave trade, and
makes il the duty Of Congress to pass
laws to etfectually suppress it. All that
Congress, therefore, can do is to pass laws
to punish parties engaged in the illegal
trade.

Fort Sumter,

The last adyiccs from Washington rep
rcscn. that the garrison at Fort Sumter
have only Il days provisions left, and that
to reinforce the fort and insure its defence
will require large land forces as well as Il
fleet, involving, probably, the loss of thou
sands of lives; and that in n military
point of view, weighing advantages and
efforts it will be advisable to evacuatc the
fort and brevct the officers Of its garrison
for heroic conduct. The following is the
latest on the subject:
Nao York, March 1.-THE Herald
Washington correspondence says that po-
litical circles were icvcrishly excited Sun
day by the report that the evacuation OF
Forts Sumter and Pickcns was detcrmin-
ed on by the Cabinet Saturday night. Sc
veral Republican Senators declared that
such policy was determined upon. Lead.
ing Southern Democrats call it master
stroke of policy.
The Times correspondent says: heard
distinguished seccsslonists confess that il
Lincoln withdraws the troops from Fort
Sumter, secession is dead and every .ead-
or in the movement ruined.
