Tue Now York tribune, reviewing Mr..
Nays speech, says:
Inc Hon. Henry May, Of Baltimore, who
is believed to be better acquainted with tue
feelings aud purposes Of the rebels taan any
other nan in the u,usc, Is reported III the
Giobe, to have said in his speech yesterday:
Tue people Of the South believe, aud | ne
lieye, that there is established a tiXei ani III
alterable an:agonism between the sections
where slavery is aud is not allowed, ami that
no future political union, rs long a. slavery
exists. can ever be maiutained between them
upon auy basis whatever

natives presented TO the country are scpara-
ton or sutjuyetiou," and ne administered q
rebuke to Mr.. Vallandigham for laying so
much stress upon arguments for re union
found in physical geography, when all hopes
Of it were forbidden by reasons Inherent IN
1.-THE nature OF man."
