FOR THE MADisONIAN
COALITION-CoALITIoN, CONFESSED.


Never in the annals Of any Government has there
been 50 disgraceful coalition, as that recently form
ed between Mr.. Calhoun and the administration
The public saw, with astonishment and morlifica-
tion, Mr. Van Buren and Mr.. Calhoun old sworn
enemies, slide into the arms OF each other; but the
why's and whereiore'S, were matter of speculation
The Globe said il was pure patriotism that had uni
ted these antipodes in a miraculous manner. The
Madsonin inlimated corrupt bargain The pub
lie mind was doubling, but The veil i torn asunder
Mr. Calhoun, in his letter 10 Duff Green, has ad.
milted all Let him speak for himself: ~ came
TO the city under the impression that our PRINCIPLES
and potey on which acted would compel as to act
'cth kse administration, if they shall adhere to the
cause whieh they had taken and that proper course
would be 10 lei them elect sr opn obIeers including
the printer 10 The House, in order that nee might with
greater proprely and effect, insist on that course of
measures which bclcrc be essential to the inte-
rest Of the country" l. not the bargain here dis
nctly admitted and unblushngly avowed; the ad-
minstraiion gives Northern Eastern and He,tern
principles for South Carolina potes principles with
the Administration are nothing-votes oLce, spois,
are every Thing. Ii is true Mr. Calhoun, in compa-
rison with The Administration is much less censu-
rable; he is as always believed he was much bet
ter man than Mr. Van Buren. But why did he not
spurn the bargain with Mr.. Van Buren, as he SAYS
he did that proposed by Duff Green The answer is
obvious; Green has become poor in his service and
can do nothing more for him. while Mr.. Van Buren
is still able 10 give the quid pro quo. Which OF
these contracting parties has got the best of the bar
gain, it is unnecessary to inquire. But will the
people confirm it will the North, the East the mid
die and the Western Representatives, ratify the con-
traci2 Will they go with The Administration in the
surrender Of hsir principles upon the consideration
OF receiving the votes of Mr. Calhoun and his
clique for their oeers including The printers TO the
Hou@." @.
Note ny ne Editor.-The New York Herald
quotes Gen. Green, as having said, "Mr. Calhoun
by his coalition with MIR. Van Buren, has lost his
moral influence, and in my opinion, Gen. Harrison

gentleman from Maine should have made IT,
Mr. SMITH said the genleman's attempt at wit At
hs expense lost The gentleman would not have
been surprised that the young member from Indiana,
Mr. DAVIS, should have made this point Of order-whch
young member was older upon this floor than tho chi
valrous gentleman from South Carolina, Mr.. Thompson,
We hs was perfectly ssounded that the gentleman from
Now York shond have made IT,
Mr.. w. THOMPSON rose TO question Of or

Mr.. SMITH do not yield the aoor

order
The SPEAKER said the gentleman from South
Carolina would state his point OF order.
Mr. SMITH required II In writing.
MT proceeding TO reduce II 10 writing
Mr. DAVIS rose and said, IL the gentleman from
Maine will yield the floor, will Just tell The gen.
neman from South Carolina what my age on this
floor is.
Mr. SMITH Ito MIR. D) Just tell me here.
Mr. THOMPSON then presented the following
as his point Of order:
The gentleman from Maine (Mr Sm,h) alluded 10
Mr. Thompson as the chvarous gentleman fran South
Carolina. No member has right to refer to another
except as the honorable member gentleman. The
gentleman from South Carolina objects 10 the term
chivsfons.' and especially when used by the gentle
man from Maine"
The SPEAKER ruled this TO be out Of order.
Mr.. SMITH resumed. did not expect so high
compliment from my friend from South Carolina,
nor did suppose he would have objected To my cal
ing him the chivalrous (pronouncing Il as aai) gen.
tleman from South Carolina. How do you pro-
nounce that word1 The gentleman from Virginia,
near me, says that eh is pronounced
The reporter did not hear the last word. but i
elected roars OF laughter He thinks It was "cake. y
Mr.. WISE Chivalrous, lie. chi)
Mr.. SMITH, The gentleman corrects me, He
says it ought to be ehivalrous. Well, have heard
of members Of Congress spelling Congress" with
a X. did not know that the gentleman from vr-
ginia adopted that rule. Surely, the gentleman from
South Carolina would have objected had used the
word "unchvalrous;"i II ! had spoken that word, he
would have started up, like porcupne armed at all
points, with Bowie.knives, pistols and such sort Of
weapons.
The SPEAKER called Mr. 8. TO order.
Mr.. J. w. WILLIAMS, (Admin) OF N. H., voted
aye the anti abolit ion resolution
Mr.. JOHN HASTINGS (admin.) OF Ohio, voted on
the same.
Messrs ANsoN BRowN and EDwARp DAVIES (opp)
voted no, and not aye as reported, on the same.

GEN. HARRISON AT HOME.
From the Correspondence Of The NJ Y. Express
CINcINNATI January IS4O

CINCINNATI January, 1910.
Gen. Harrison is in most excellent health was
at his farm at North Bend, on yesterday. | found
him hard at work hauling wood and stone, TO fulfil
contract he had made with The contractors of The
White Water canal, The canal runs through his
farm, and passes his dwelling house in front between
that and the Ohio river The old General is one of
the most hospitabe men lever saw. He is the true
old Virginian-a gentleman Of the old school. At
dinner, flor he would not consent that should ride
TO town, l6 miles, without dinner large pitcher
was set on the liable and when asked to have my
glass filled from it, could not help smiling 10 find
the contents to be cider. | thought Of the silly OBJ
jeclion made to the election of the General living
in log cabin and drinking hard cider"
The Generals house is far from being a log cabin,
and it is also far from being palace. 1t is large,
plain two story frame honsc-probably 80 or a 100
feet front. The grounds around and The view Of
the Ohio and Kentucky opposite, are very fine.
The General lives exactly as any other ineili-
gent, welleducated and industrious farmer in the
country. He is in Ohio exactly what Virginian
understands by good panter-a gentleman Of the
old school, He is not wealthy, il is true; but he
owns lhe farm where he resides, and very beautiful
farm it Is,

authorities either have built, or are building,
barracks on both sides Of the Johns river, or
at the mouth of the Madawaska river" or
"any where" that Her Majesiy's forces
are not concentrating military force at the
Grand River"
He declares also that, he not only pre-
serves the hope, but he entertains the firm be-
lief, that, if the duty Of negotiating the boun-
dary question be left in the hands Of the two
National Governments, to whom alone fright
it belongs, the difficulty Of conducting the
negotiation to an amicable issue will not be
found SO great as has been, by many persons,
apprehended. But the case will become
wholly altered, if the people of the State of
Maine, who, though in the result, are not
charged with the negotiation, shall attempt to
interrupt il by violence.

Mr.. Mcfarland, President Of the Far
mers' Bank, Of Virginia, in his report, on
the condition of that institution, to the Legis.
lature Of that State, gives the Legislature
clearly to understand that few more reslric-
tions on the banks will render them SO un-
profitable to the stockholders as TO make them
surrender their charters.
He also aflirms that, in bank suspensions,
if the banks do not overissue, the difference
between bank paper and specie does not prove
depreciation in the former, but an apprecia-
ton in the, latter.
This shows the injustice Of that rule which
the President seems to have established for
asceraining our losses by the banks. He
sets down the depreciation Of paper as one of
those losses which is not fair. Certainly, in
the last two suspensions, there has been no
depreciation Of paper--tthe prices Of the Co.
vernment, 6 per ct. stocks, which, perhaps,
offered the fairest test underwent no change,
unless, indeed, slight fall after the suspen-
sion.
