The Yam Buren and Calhoun CoaIition-Messrs Pic
kens, Rhett, Le.cis d CO.-1he condition of the
Coahtion-Southern Confederacy-Gsn. Hamn-
ton, of South Carolina. - The Foe and Lord
North Coalition.
The coalition between Mr.. Van Burenand MIR. Cal
houn, which has been under negotiation, the whole
of the recess of Congress, was consummated last
Thursday, at the Executive Mansion by the princi-
pals of the compact and yesterday and to day was
reconSummated by Messrs j. &. Calhoun and Martin
Van Buren,, Richard Barnwell Rhett, Francis Lam
rens Pckens, Dixen II. Lewis, William Ruus
King, and the Land Commits sioners of Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisiana.
These notable personages dined at the Executive
Mansion yesterday, when the coalition was finally
closed, and the parties immediate and mediate to
it, pledged themselves, in bumpers, TO adhere to it,
through evi and good report-through sunshine and
through rain.
Messrs. Rhett, Pickens, aud Lewis, are important
integrals IN the compact, and added To the vast
talent and influence and political sagacity OF Mr.
Calhoun, will, IN my poor opinion, render the pre-
sent ad administration vulnerable.
As the public may be curious to Know what IS the
basis of the important and most extraordinary Goa
liaon. shall probably somewhat crafty It's solici'
tude by laying before you hat has been cominunl-
Gated to me by Of the conGdents OF MIR. Cal
houn. and in which have every reason to believe,
the most implicit confidence is TO be placed.
-. II is stipulated and agreed BY the high con
tenIng parties that all recollection OF former W.
rulencc and abuse which may have been issued by
the parties themselves, and by the represent
ing their respective interests, shall be ended and
never be revived.
I'd. That the President Of the Uni ed States shall
the expiration 6 the compromise act In the
year 1872 lead sther his countenance or su'portt TO
any scheme that may be devised for renewal OF the
protective policy and If he Union shaU east
in the year 1914 he shall loan his influence to John e.
Cahoun;ss candidate Tor tne Presidency I'm OPPOSE
ton to any other candidate that may be presented.
Sd. A new effort shall be made, il deemed neces.
sary, by the Government of the Republic Of Texas,
to annex that country to the United States; and in
the event of proposition Of the kind being made by
Texas, then the Executive of the United States shall
favor the scheme, and loan his personal and official
influence to produce its contamination.
Jth. In the event Of the reelection OF Mr.. Van
Buren,, and that is condonally guaranteed, the pre-
sent cabinet is to be dissolved, and the premers
is to be bestowed on Mr. Richard Barnwel Rhett,
and Mr. Francis l. Pickens is TO represent this coun
ry at the Court Of st. James.
5th All attempts TO int rferc with slavery and the
slave trade, they exist in the States and Terrific
rles, are to be firmly and resouely resisted by the
Executive, AT all hazards.
9th The passage OF the Sub.Treasury Bill, with
Mr.. Calhouns Sub Treasury clause, is guarante d.
The foregoing are the conditions Of the coalition
as they are communicated 10 me by one in whom
place the most implicit confidence; by gentle
i
means Of knowing, and who know would not
deceive any to whom he might be pleased to
conide himself.
This coalition appears to create good deal Of
prize and sensation among the people of the United
States; and yet, | do not why Il should. The
wings certainly have not had any right to expect
anything else. at the hands of Mr.. Calhoun, since
the year 1887, at which time he gave them the cut
direct and espoused the sub treasury project.
Through the opening of this coalition, hr CAL
houn is to be brought into the field candidate for
the sue &c ion, under ne and imposing influences
and circumstances If he succeed, the Republic OF
Texas is to be united 10 this Union, ii be not done
by Mr. Wan Buren,. lf he fall Texas is to unite with
a Southern Confederacy, and Gen. James Hamilton,
of South Carolina is TO be the immediate gotta tor
Of the compact between the slave states and the Re-
public of Texas.
snco the convention of the coalition. there has
ben succession Of sunshine and smiles, and graft
tudes and rejocings al the pala'e The end brought
about has placed Mr.. Van Buren, in a very easy atti
ude as tothe future and added volu oility his
binary flow Of spirits. Beyond this important Office,
have nothing Ia communicate.
Very truly and obedien,iy yours,
TOBIAS TRorT.
