i THE COALITION AND IT'S FRUITS.
When aif. Calhoun abandoned his prln
cples and coalesced with those whom his
organs had described as " Rogues and Roy,
alsts," his friends predicted that his intlu.
ence would unite the whole South 10 the
support Of MIR. Van Buren,. We have now
an opportunity Of testing their sagacity N

seduced to follow him in his uupruclpled

with u man who only sought his alliance
for the few votes he could transfer IN Coz

made Dir. Calhoun, SO unacceptable, that
his alliance, instead Of being profitable to
ir. Van Buren,, would have proved danger
