PARTY COALITIONS.

On tho 9TH of this month some days prior to the
Ohio election, the Wing Contra! Committee at
Columbus issued an official circular which contain
ed this statement
"WHIcs OF Ono: Informal ton upon which We
rely has reached MS that bargain has been made
between certain leaders Of the Free Soil and of the
LOcofoco parties, by which the Free Soil vote is to
be given Tor Weller, and in exchange the Locofoco
vote is to be given for the Free Soil candidate for

The National lntelgencer Of Saturday says
The election reports received from Ohio Yesterday
show at the same time the truth of this conbina-
ton and the degree of success which attended il i'm
certain counties of the State. They had the happy
effect also Of raising our Locofoco ncghbors from
the depth OF dependency into which tho result in
Pennsylvania and the earlier returns from Ohio had
plunged them and "skies bright" was for awhile

natural coalition should have proved successful in
the State elections how utterly hopeless must it be

their respective canddates--he Free Sellers ON
MIR. Van Buren, and tho Hunkcrs on Gen. Cass.
The vote of the free soil men of Pennsylvania, at
the late election, was generally given against John
son, the Wing candidate. The n. Y. Herald saws ::
Wilmot's district gave a heavy majority against
johnson, (vz; Tioga, Bradford, and Susquelan-
nah counties) 100 majority ia the Aggregate
proof That the wings received very little aid from
the free soil men. Wilmot's own majority in his
district was 3,4OO, showing difference of over
5,uOo between the vote received by him and that
of Governor Johnson. IL the free soil men bar
gained with the wings, the former were certainly
trcacherous.

TREES In TOWNS

we see 1t stated that the trees which go thickly
line some OF the streets of Brooklyn, did much to
limit the progress Of the fire. in the late destructive
confiagration. The flames crossed no street. OK
cept in the immediate direction of the wind wb.rs
mere were trees while the protection which they
afforded 10 the flrenen and others in the streets,
from the spaks and heat, was very great Such
considerations ought certainly to recommend the
more general cultivation Of trees in our towns The
few which We had, in streets, were varied a.
against, some years ago, by our Corporate au,hori-
