THE NEW COALITION.

The amagamation OF the Calhoun-nulliterS with
the abolitionisls is one Of the most extraordinary
characteristics Of the times II forces the Calhoun
pro-slavery men into most humiliating attiiudean
attitude which, if il is maintained passvely, evinces
either The most deiestabe hypocrisy or the most abb
ject cowardce. What then has meant all the swag-
gering and bravado we have heard about dssolving
the Union and lynching the abolitionis.s1 Was II
intended 10 build up Mr. Calhoun's fortunes at the
South mere fetch to cheat the people of the South
into his support and lead them to the brink of pre-
cipice more awful than any yet this Union has seen
What else can we infer from this peaceful laying
down of the lion and the lamb together2 The Sub
treasury must be carried, and Mr. Calhoun must be
elevated at all hazards! The aboi,ionsts, "with
their wanton malignity," as Mr. Picken's said [nlayl
harass and wound our feelings" we will tamely
submit to H. if they will cooperate with us in estab-
fishing the Sub-lreasury That these their feel
ings, is the lawful inference from their conduct.
Says the Flneastlc (Ha.) Democrat:
"Of those returned to the places which they have
heretofore filled SO creditaby themselves and use
full to the patton at large, grated to see the
name Of Doct Duncan-a man blessed with talents
of high order and who possesses the requisite To-
pendencc to speak his thoughts freely and inly.
What sort of a +" Northern man with Southern
principles" is this DR.. Duncan, whose election is
the source of SO much JOY to the Southern Sub-Irea-
survives In his letter to the Abolition Society OF
Ohio, published i'll the Cincinnati papers, Dr. Dun
can pronounces slavery greater in its immoral Ell
fects and corruptng tendencies, than all other hui
man evils put together" "a moral and political
evil within ITSELF or intrnsically so, of the darkest
and most damning character" AN evil that has,
does now and will in time to come, while II exists,
involve in it, as we'll in its present possession as
in its future operations, crime fraud thef robbery
murder and death" and then the Doctor declares
that the anger of God and the vengeance OF Heav-
en- seems to rest upon every thing upon which you
cast your eyes," in the slave States; and invokes
curses upon the heads of those who sustain such an
institution"
1--WE are gratifed," to see him elected exclaims
the Southern Sub Treasurye, and /" we are equally
as much rejoiced to hear of the defeat Of Mr.. Le-
care" who is the able and eloquent defender of the
South. 49,. .... ...&
How soon. under these circumstances, we may
ask Mr.. Pickens in his own language, will the
South lose all the feelings Of freemen, and sink as
people, into the despicabe destiny that awaits
coward race Z" "The present crisis" must be i'm.
proved, nevertheless, answers Mr.. Calhoun
Do not the Calhounites and the Van Burenites
walk hand in hand And who are the yoke-fellows
Of the Van Burenites elsewhere 7
The Cincinnati Republican says:
1--WE know not how the abolitionists voted in
Maine and Pennsylvania, but this much we know,
abolilionism and Van Burenism went hand in hand,
in Ohio Abolition in Ohio, is the handmade OF
Loco focoism. If the Enquirer is at all sceptica with
regard 10 what we assert we are prepared TO prove
to his satisfaction and the satisfaction of every
Southerner, open to conviction, that Van Bnren has
been pledged BY his friends 10 The Abolitton'as Of
Ohio"
And will the South support political Abolition
party? II not, then avoid Loco Focoism as they
would pesiilence. ...@ .....r
