COALITION AND POLITICS.

I'll, charging coalition between the Abolionsts
=. No,tbem Wings. We have recently seen
o.,5 AJoiitioaists by that party rs Governor Of

phoas I,land-seleeled as candidates doubtless be-

po,t, however, an occurrence has taken place,

xrb pee upon which to hang an argument; and
IN. ;e.uitical a,licle OF tie Government organ is
.,,erly transferred 10 the columns OF the Richmond

Nrv York recently addressed a letter 10 Gefrh
Smith of Peterborough, a notorious ally OF the
r,,,,ns for the purpose of pefsuadlng hun

,ually operating against abolition altogether and
recommending therefore less violence, and the "a
dop,ion of slower and more gradual means to elect

o,ber-in Que word that Abolition is question OF
sections and not Of parties. MI Gates, for example,
i,a Whig-but who is Gerrit Smith ! Certainly
not a Wing now, although he was Wing before
be became an Abolnioust We iecollect very well
90 hive seen, just before the late election in New
York came on, address from Gerrlt Smith 10 the
electors Of his county, copied into the New York
Evening Post, the organ both Of the Abolilionsts
and of rammany tlaIl,with euogisc com neus both
upon the writer aud his sentiments, aud Of course in
opposition to The Wing What is the result
then Seth NJ. CAFES, who is endeavoring to show
the mprat ticability Of immediate abolition, and tie
folly OF minglns Abolition with Politics, isa Wing;
while his CORES pondent, Gefr smith, WHO is IN favor
of immediate abolition, and also foi bring that ques-
ton to bear upon opular elections, is Van Bu eu
man And yet it is by reference to facts OF lhls
sort, that the Globe aud the Enquirer hope to con
vince the people Of the South that there is CO.
aitlon between the Aboioniss aud the NGflhcrn
Wings They prove when anal, wed, directly the
reverse aud we should be astonshed any allnson
to them by these prints, il we had not often before
witnessed their amazing reliance upon tie ignorance
ard credulry Of their readers.
We again invite attention 10 the articles from

The Administration knows full well that this mat

The Abolition Ticket, at the late election in this
City, received about 200 votes ont Of some 40 600
These votes were thrown by men who were neither
Wings nor Torles-but Aboltionisls. Whether or
not they were lgnally Tories, who voted this tcl

and always has been the Tory Evening Post Tie off
