LOcOfocOism and FreeSOil;Sll.
The attempt to amalgamate the So
called democratic and free soil parties in
Connecticut, Vermont and Wisconsin, is
well known to our readers; and 1osO far Il
succeeded in this State, is also we'll known
to them. In Vermont there has been no
election since the corrupt bargain be-
tween the two factions was consumnla-
ted - consequently the resalt of their
coalition must be left to simple conjec'
ture. We are willing. however, to hazard
our reputation our reputation as pro-
phet in the matter. We predict that
"the star which never SETS will not go
down in such fog. Like General Tay-
lor, the Wings of the Green Mountain
State "never lost a battle ;" and like him
also, they "never surrender" They
have re-nominated Gov. Coolege, and
Lieut.. Gov. Pierpont, and their busy note
Of preparation for the approaching polit-
ical conflict is already heard. The AL
bany Journal says-The disgraceful CO.
alition between the free soil and locofoc Q
parties in Vermont, has infused new life
into the ranks Of the ever-ready Wings Of
that State. 1t is so palpably a union Of
parties effected by an abandonment Of
principle, that the honest rank and file of
both the coalesced parties are as tho
roughly disguised with the acts of their
leaders, rs the wings themselves. This
feeling IS sufficient Of itself to overwhelm
the parties to this shameless coalition.
But when we add to this the fact that
the wings Of Vermont feel the pressure
Of the iadiguity, and are already prepa'-
my to v1dicate the character Of their
State, aad preserve it from the hands of
the spoilers. ~hig triumph, as glorious
as any ever yet achieved by the uncon-
quered sons Of the Green Mountains, is
rs certain as the advent of the day of
election.
A large and respectable branch Of the
democratic party have seeded from the
amalgamation, and nominated an indie
pendent ticket, at the head of which is
the name of the Hon. John 8. Robinson,
Of Bennington, for Governor.
In the State Of New York decided
effort is being made to unite the Hunkers
and Barnbumers, under the auspices of
Mr.. Young and Mr.. Van Buren-these
gentlemen having agreed to bury the
Ratchet for the sake of securing the
spoils.' Many Of the leading newspapers
Of both parties are talking very lovingly
to and about each other-and are for
making up at once, and forgetting all
,, the ill-natured threats, and hard knocks,
which they have given and received from
each other during the last three years.
Some, however, are not so affectionate
and forgiving. The Albany Argus, (per-
haps the most able and influntial Hunk
er organ in the State is bitterly oppos-
ed to any union or fellowship with the
"barn-burning faction" Present ap-
pearances indicate that all attempts at
such union in the Empire State. will
prove splendid failure.
Giddings the Apostate is endeavOring
to make league with locofocoism in
Ohio-but we trust, without success.
We are often asked--Will the free soil
men of Connecticut continue their un-
holy alliance with the Cass- Democracy
We believe that the honest and disinter.
ested portion of them are already dis
| gusted with the short-sightedness and
treachery Of their leaders. Their 'sobel
second thoughts, since the election. have
convinced them that the course they
psrsued resulted only in evil; that in
stsad Of advancing the great cause Of free
dom, IL has contributed 10 the success oI
q party which has ever bowed the knee

measures. and WW do u a0ain At Tho
