The Coalition.

The Coalition.
Ola verify, the plot thckens. 1t will be at once
perceived, from report Of the proceedings at the
great "Natise" meeting in Park Place, that the
coalition between the "Natlves' and the Wings
has already begun. The "Native" candidate for
the Third Congressional District, has undisguisedly
announced his determination TO 60 for Clay at all
hazards, and the announcement was re-echoed by
enthusiastic cheers We may now consider the
alliance between the "Natives" and Wings as con-
summated. The excitement among the Wings
and the panic amongst the Democrats, last night,
were quite INDISPENSABLE. The coming Presiden-
dental election this city will be the most intense
ly interesting--the most acknowledgement the
most influential in its results, Of any ever held
since the organization of the Government
The EIectiOns-Incrcase Of the Excitement.
The excitement increases every additional
piece of information is received from the contested
States. Our accounts from Georgia show that al
though the wings may elect majority OF the
members of Congress, yet the popular vote is ex-
tremey close, and that in the contest for the Pres-
dency, the one party will have just as good a
chance as the other. We have also further returns
from Ohio, which leave little room to doubt that
the wing candidate for Governor is elected, with
that the Legislature will be very close. The close
ness OF the contest in Ohio has, doubtless been
produc by the abolition vote, which has in
creased very fearfuly since last year In 1913, it
was six lhousand-it is now probably from ten to
twelve thousand-a separate and distinct party
ganizaton, operating very much against the wings,
and we should not be surprised if il were TO en-
danger Mr. Clsy's chances Of success in this State
next month.
Another feature in all these elections, is the i'm
mense vote which has been brought out, and the
probability that much larger vote will be cast at
the polls, when the great question is to be decided
In the city Of Cincinnati, alone, the increase OF
the absolute vote, since 1910, is nearly four thou
sand-one third OF the whole vote. And the pro-
liability is, that a similar increase will take place
all over the State II is likely, therefore, Judging
from the extraordinary increase Of the vote the
western States, that the popular vote the great
question may be over three mons-probably,
three and half millions. From this fact it will
be seen, in nicely balanced contest, how ex-
iremey hazardous the chances Of both candi-
daies, and what an influence mere local acci-
dent or local feeling, may have on the final de-
cis:on of the great Presidential question.
Another singular fact strikes us, and that is the
sylvana, and the separate, distinct, and perfect
ganization of that party. In nine counties in
Pennsylvanla the abotlonists polled three thous-
and votes, being greater number than the whole
State gave last year It will be observed also that
the abolition vote is taken principally from the
Wings. The same state Of things with regard TO
abolition exists Ohio There is possible chance,
according to all appearances, of the aboliuoniss

Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other States; and when
we consider that the increase is great
that ticket, we should not be surprised to see
over one hundred thousand votes cast all over
the free States for Brney, spite OF all the efforts
OF the Whgs-in spite of all the acts of Birney him.
self-in spite Of all the speeches of Cassus NJ Clay,
and in spite of all the efforts OF Mr.. Webster to
reconver them to the ranks of the whig party
The only chance that the wings have to neutral
lze the efforts of the extraordinary increase of the
abolition vote, is TO do 1t in detail, in the various
counties, by abandoning their own local tickets,
voting the abolition ticket, thereby procuring the
abolition votes in return for the wing Presidential
candidate. In this they may succeed to some ex-
tent in this State, but we doubt whether they
can in Ohio, and other States.
The singular position, therefore Of the abolition
lists, az already so clearly indicated IN these cleo
ton returns, is operating against the wings, not
wiihstandlng all their efforts to counterfeit its evil
influence. Their only-their last hope, is toneutral.

PRoeREss OF NEwspAPER MOVEMENTS During
the last yearsa number Of newspapers, on the new
system of management first introduced by us into
the Herald, have started into existence under varl
Gus auspicies, and large sums OF money have been
expended on them. We have been watching then
progress for SOME time, and we have some curious
ideas to give respecting their character personnel
