TIE NEW COALITION.-FURTuER
PROBES

PROOFS.
GiddngS, NJ. c., has recently had an argument
al Bloomfield Ohio, with Judge King who SHE
Abolition candidate for Governor. The Pitts
burg Gazette says, that "Mr Giddings was COM
pletely at home, and removed The last prop from
those Liberty men who are seeking for an excuse
for throwing away their votes for Birney, and
thereby indirectly supporting Polk (and of
course, battling Clay.) There is a systematic
movement throughout the West and North, on
the part of the Wings, to thrust Biincy aside and
concentrate the Abolition vote upon Clay.
The New York Herald of The 18th inst. says,
that "Many otthc leading Abolitionists have made
open declaration, through their prints, of hostility
To the election OF any Shareholder including Clay
or Polk, and avow eternal support 10 Birney, the
Liberty candidate. There are others, however
who have but recently acted with them, who avow
their determination 10 support Henry Clay, and
who therefore, are loudly applauded and ilatlered
by the Northern Wing press. 1t is very evident
from the political vane of the Wing party that
they are anXiously striving TO obtain the support
OF the Northern Abolitionists, and thus induce
them to abandon their own candidate, on the plea
that Clay is totally opposed 10 the annexation OF
Texas TO the Union. The truly honest portion oil
the Abolition party have fully exposed this trap,
and none more 50 than Mr.. Geo. Bradburn, one OF
the most prominent"
And what will the liberal and enlightened
Wings of the South think oil the following ap-
peal from the "UutchniaE and Journal" publish
ed at Montpelier Vermont, one OF The leading
Wing papers OF the North? Let them remember
V,ra,oat is one of the States of the Coajidey0ca
