The COALITION.

Facts are constantly multiplying and dis
closing to the public which develope the sin
lister character of Third Partyism andthe by.
pocracy of the wire workers who contro
its influences. Birney whose followers have
hitherto invested him with the robes of spot
less purity turns out to be rank ally ofsouth-
ern Locofocoism. This mighty champion Of
abolition who was not only to break the letters
ofthe slave, but to repel the insolent encroach-
ments of southern slaveocracy upon the nc hts
ofthe North, declares himself an ally to thatop-
pressive power which the Liberty party was
organized to destroy.
He clearly identifies himselfwith the South.
He belongs to the free-trade British party.
He goes with Polk and Dallas against Pro-
lection, Distribution and Annexation in pref
erence to Mr.. Clay.
He gees with the South in opposition to
the Northin everything dear to their prosper
ity. We are by no means surprised that he
is now presented by the Loco party as MEM
Der of the Legislature of Michigan, whose
principles he carries out. The course Of
the Third Party for year past has strongly
demonstrated its affinity to Loco Focoism.
All over the Union these natural allies have
worked together, slandered Henry Clay To-
gether, cheered each other forward and en-
braced each other with most fraterpal affec-

A LEGAL BALLAD.
BY JOHN C. SAKE.
An attorney was ''taking turn"
In shabby habiliments drest;
His coat was shockingly worn,
And the rust had invested his vest.
His breeches had suffered breach,
His linen and worsted were worse;
He had scarce a whole crown in his hat,
And not half-a-crown in his purse.
And thus as he wandered along,
A careless and comfortleSS elf,
He sought for relief in cong,
Or complainingly talked to himself
"Most unfortunate man that am,
NV only Client is Grief;
NV case is, Eve no case at all,
And in brief, | have ne'er had brief
1.-THE professions already so full
OF LAWYERS so full of profession,
That modest young man like myself
Can't make the smallest impression.
''They grant I'm acquainted with grants,
Can devise a devise or plea,
Can make a good deed in fee simple
But can't get the simplest fee
ave waited, and waited in vain.
Expecting an opening 10 ind,
Where an honest young lawyer might gain
Some reward for the toll of his mind"
While thus he was wandering along,
His eye accidentally fell
On a very deep hole in the ground,
And he sighed to himself 1T IS WELL
To curb his emotion he sat
On the curb-stone the space Of a minute,
Then cried, Here's an opening at last"
And in less than jiffy was in II.
Next day twelve citizens came,
The ''coroner'S quest" to attend!
To the end that ii might be determined
How that man determined his end.
nThe man was lawyer it seems"
Said The foreman, who ''opened" OF course,
"A LAWYER, alas" sighed another,
"He undoubtedly died of remorse."
A third said Hhe knew the deceased
An attorney well versed in the laws
And as TO the cause of his death,
n'Twas no doubt for the want OF a cause
The "coroners" at length gave verdict,
Which finally settled the natter
"That the Young man was drown-dead pecaus
He could not keep his head above wafer

JAMES G. BIRNEY AT ROCKIES
TER.
The Coalition between him and the Loco
Focos at last publicly admitted l.! His
preference for Polk!
ROCHESTER,, Oct. %, 1874

The Liberty party have to day had a
mass Convention in the L0cof0oo cabin
in this city. Mr. Birney was present and
addressed them for two or three hours.
principally in defence of himself in regard
TO his nomination by the Locofocos Of
Saginaw
He explicitly avowed his knowledge of
the intention of the Locos to nominate
him before he LEFT Saginaw, and said he
expected to be a candidate before their
Convention, but did not much expect to be
nominated, for he thought the leaders
would try to preUcRt it He said he told
them he would serve if elected, and went
ON to defend the course he had taken in
relation to his nomination. In answer TO
a question by one of the AUDIENCE
"IPere you nominated By the regular nom
mating contention Of the party3' Mr.
Birney replied CERTAINLY, no doubt Of
it," He said he was nominated BY a vote
of 17to3.
He openly and distinctly avowed his
preference for Polk as less dangerous
TO the interests of elderly" than The cleo
ton of Mr.. Clay. He declared that the
subject of annexation was an issue in this
same man, protesting to view the project
of annexation with adherence, seeks to
draw from the support of Henry Cay
many aboIitionists who would otherwise
have supported him for his opposition to
annexation, and thus indirectly aid in the
election Of candidate to carry. that meas
ure. Yours truly.

We learn that the Mass Meeting OF
Locofoco boilers at Mr. Birney's nomina-
ton, in Saginaw, was an entire failure.
Very few attended. A nomination, was
made, but it is understood that the party
generally will vote for Mr.. Bnney. The
whole thing is looked upon as ruse TOR
effect abroad. At home, Mr.. Brney
will be regarded and voted for. as the regu-
lar candidate. Adu. 23d.

bat we have derived it from letters
written by intelligent gentlemen in the
Capitol Of the United States, and We
place full reliance on It's authenticity

We rcgretto be compelled to record
the particulars Of the most destructive
conaagration with which our city has
been visited during the last five or six
years. Yesterday afternoon, at four
o'clock, the alarm of fire was given, and
it was soon ascertaincd that the scene
ofdestruction was the Orleans, Tor up
per) Cotton Press.
The fire broke out among some loose
cotton on the second floor, in the centre
ofthe principal building. The flames
were first seen bursting from the front
windows. Our fremen were upon the
ground as soon as the circumstances
would admit, and manifested their usual
skill and intrePidity. By great exer-
ton the progress of the flames was sioy-.
cd with much smaller loss than was at
first anticipated. About one half the
front portion Of the building, including.
one Of the.presscs and Tachinery, was
burnt, tsgethcr with q large building
extending towards the centre OF the
yard. Asnear as can be ascertaincd,
this portion Of The establishment CON

Would beat OF the Coon, with thun-

Buthis heart grew sad and hisioraew off
As he heard, whilehe hiecupeda church-

Get Out of'he way, &c.
/ Over the line to old Penrsy7tuek,
The Fox thought he'd 90 in search Of

But The cry went up, "wc don't want

And they sungas there dropt from his

So on he went TO the old NORTH State,
With The hope Oh Rip would avert his
fate;
But when he got there, he lost his tail.
Andthe Coon boys sung as he "cat,7

Get out olthe way, &c.
The ,ailess Fox then went to Tennessee
To beg little help from Old Ilick-o-ree
Bat he heard, as he went, loud shout

And the song, as he scampcred TO save

Get out of The way, &c.
Broathless with fear, and without tail
The sight Of a Coon-shin made him quail
He jumped like thiefto cut dirt tune
And heard, while he yelled like fright

And took his way through Maryland state

So the Fox lay down, and his voice got
