K Ew COALITION PROPOSED.

paper m tIlcIilfercsts 0f NIT. Webster
 we extract the following invitation tt
 hfr. Caihoua and his friends to unite
 with the party of which Mr. Clay and
 Webster are leaders to make common
 cause against the Republican President and the principles of which he is the re presentatiye. The iudicious reader will see in this article, T soly nllioaee of nol- isieians of every hue and complexion, proposed, IS a means of putting down the present administration, and of sub- iecting the Government to the ambition
 Of few strong men, each Of whom is expected to bring his sectional influence
 into tine common stock, and to receive a share of the public spoil in proportion to the capital which he may be able to bring into the firm. Thisis the patriot. ism of our trading politiciars!!
 "Thcn comes the Vice President, once the most popular man in all this country. Ycs-we repeat it; in 1923, John C. Calhoun was tie most popular man ii the United States. He was in President Monroe's cabinet, and in the War De partment had produced order and beau ty from Chaos and confusion. The friend and advocate of the protective system, and the author of q system of internal improvements, Mi. Calhoun had gained the appreciation, and even the affection of ali that portion of the people, who live, and expect to live, by their own labor. In an evil hour, Hnfor- tunatc for himself, inasmuch as it was the date when his just expanding sum- mer honors began to droop and wither, and unfortunate for his country, whose high and elevated hopes in him were blasted and destroycd--in that evil hour, when the Orcobrand of the black forest was permitted momentary triumph over the guardian genius of the nation, he was tempted to leave the direct up- ward and onward path to the highest station in the gift of q free people, and has ever since been beating about in sshi.hsyeys and hy-sY ys , ansdl, ,.a!a: eight years has not advanced single step to- swards the end of his travail. Ir fact, he is farther than ever, apparently, from she object of his hopes. He never could have felt, in his heart, t,any other sentiment than contempt for the man, under ~hen he has consented to serve in a subordi- nate, we had almost said, insignificant, capacity; and that he should much lon ger endure such state of political deg radiation is impossible. It is evident, from all appearances that he and his friends, will, very shortly, back out from an administration whichhates them, and withdraw from the support of Presi- dent, who has not the posrer, even if he has the scill, (which we doubt to do them any good. The only difficulty, we inn asine is they know net ;:s what s!ifrec sa!iifrec- 4ion to break. We do not believe that aafff. Caiilouh will endeavor to gain the Presidency as the candidate oi a nullif- <ation pnriy. He is too sagacious not to lorcsce that such a step would be instant death and irremediabIc perdtion; and we cannot indulge q belief that his pat riotic feeling is so warped by the disci- pline of party tactics, as to permit him to Undertake so dangerous an experiment, cvcnifhe had confidence in its ultimate success. No-bis good genius will not 3eave him to pursue that alternative.
 sOf Henry Clay we delight to speak, an almost all occasions, in almost all con- nections. Would to Heaven his pros poets of political advancement were brighter. His party, whichis the Ameri- can Party, are always tardy in movement, and allow their enemies to get the start in every thing. From mistaken deIi- cacy towards the newly installed Presi, dent, they would not organize their par ty on the 9th of March, 1899 (it is said that MI. Clay would not permit them to do it;) and now, 1t is much to be feared, 'xhat no organization which they canmake will be strong enough to 2..t down the '.demagcgues that have got possession of she government. The people, in some Of the States, in Pennsylvania, Missouri, { Indiana, Illinois, for instance, and we fear in Kentucky and Ohio--seem to be ssnitten with blindness to every thing, but the psysonal popu!ayiiy of General .;a.:kss,i, sli.i wst,i;;c they .o,,ieInn his wcll-known opposition to protecting du- ties, and curse him for his peto upon In- ternal Improvements, they fall down and worship isim for his military achieve .>. :. 1 x F<, <,. f<> fA, TIr,
