THE NEW COALITION.

The reader will see it stated by Mr. Calhoun him
self that he has coaesced out and out with The sup
porters OF MIR Van Buren,
Newspaper letter writer's have for many DAYS
given accounts OF the recent visits at the White
House, and interviews with the President, made by
Mr. Calhoun; and il is most creditable to the tone
OF national feeling in our country, that this news
appears not only 10 have shocked the moral feeling of
all men opposed TO the administration, wherever it has
spread but has startled even the inward sense of
shame of the supporters Of lhe administration as TO
sink all feeling OF exutation among them and they
neither speak Of or.pubish the fact with any pride
or signs of satisfaction.
And why should they2 What does not this fact
this most unnatural aud disgusting coalition of the
administration with man VIGOROUSLY impelled
in every act by only mad and selfish, corruping
ambitiop-what does not such fact testify and tell
TO the country, respecting the easy urtue and ucak
,tess OF the administration party
Could any thing proclaim louder the downward
tendency OF Mr. Van Buren's administrator
Could any manifestation betray To the country in
palmer language, that the administration is sink
ing
"Help Cassius, or I sinkr' And this is the con
fessional language Of Mr.. Van Buren,, in the pre-
sence of the nation aud of his whole party 10 Mr.
Calhounl
Can our old republican f lends and associates
who have been ap rchensive that we have BEEN
mistaken in proclaimlng 10 them 10 beware of con-
tinuing their confidence in Mr. Van Buren, and his
administration drink this cup Of bitterness with
out refec ing that VI they had listened to the admo
nitions OF friends who had never deceived them and
never counseed them in any act from an interested
or selfish motive, this cup would have passed from
them 7 This new exposure Of their party 10 The
worlds reproacheS and rdcule, would not have
been incurred. Aud can they be so wild as 10
dream now, that Mr. Cahoun's errac talent with
only small knot OF Southern Nulliiers TO back
him-with only one State al most in the whole
Union standing ready 10 follow hm-can uphold
The sinking fortunes OF Van Burensm l-can stop
The downward inclination of the present national

Deluded-oyer-confdcnt mistaken are they
who believe this. To fall back upon the shatter-
