Strange Coalition

How does the blood of Maryland feel upon the follow
ing development An abolitionis and Maryland wing
associated together We nodhestate say that Mr.
Collins Lee should have spurned the idea of speaking
the same platform after such declarations with Thaddeus
Stevens
To the Editor of the Union
HARRIsBURG, Pa, October 81, ls4s.
The Taylor Of Harrisburg had large meeting
last night in the house hear addresses from
Congress from Lancaster and L Collins Lee, whig
iorney from Baltimore.
Mr. Stevens being the great gun OF the party here led
off the debate, and only wish that every citizen OF the
District of Columbia, and Maryland, and Virginia, could
have heard him He avowed himself openly and boldly,
the presence of MIR Lee, abotIonst in the strices
OF the and declared his determination TO vote
in Congress in favor OF the abolition OF slavery In the
District of Columbia He advocated in the warmesi
manner the Taylor and Fillmore electoral ticket, be-
cause Taylor the nominee OF the wing party, but
because Willard Fillmore, the avowed friend of the
Wlmot Proviso and the enemy OF slavery, would have
the casting the Senate OF the United States and
in this way would they be enabled to pass the Wilmo
Proyiso and other arrest and abolish slave
ry while General Taylor was pledged not to veto any
bills this subject This, IN BRIEF was the argument
of Mr.. Stevens
After he had concluded Z. Collins Lee addressed the
meeting principally in TRADE of twaddle against Gen
Cass While he confessed that he did agree in all the
positions assumed by Mr. Stevens, he reoiced to find
men of all parties and divsions-ree soil and slave
natives and and tories-unitlns
in one common effort to put down the rule OF locooco
ism.
As Mr.. Lee formerly belonged to the District OF Co.
umba trust you will take the occasion to lay before
his friends there the beautiful position he is occupying
PENNSYLVANIA stumplng the State side by side,
working shoulder TO shoulder with OF the bodies
aboonsts in this State, who will vote IN Congress JUS
as he has said and who of the dangerous in
cendiaes of the abolition school which has beer
