ter, provided they are only unctuous with
the richness of the flesh-pots. You might
carpet their platform with the broken
bonds of thousand DENBYs, and the
protested drafts of ten thousand OsBoRNEs
and they would dance on it to any tune
under heaven, as long as they could pre-
vail on Uncle Sam to pay the piper. They
have been so long rioting on the spollS OF
the treasury, which they have secured
through their alliance with the Richmond
branch of the Democracy, that they are will
ing to maintain this alliance on any princi-
pies, or on no principles whatever, provided
they can thereby only get their fingers into
the treasury again. They would have been
able enough to swallow the Barnburners'
platform whole, and have suffered no
symptom of Indigestion; but they were
afraid to take their chance for the next
federal partition of the spoils, with any
"sectional" issues to embarrass them.
They are better politicians than the Barn
burners. They see that Free-Soil may do
very well for temporary fiirt-but that
no national party can stand otherwise than
upon national ground.
These two parties have agreed to swal-
| low each other Hunkerdom would not
consent to swallow NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
burnerism could not openly consent to
| swallow Hunkerdom. SO they agreed to
compromise the matter by simultaneously
Jumping down each others throat. The
animal now known in New York as Loco
focodom is this complex monster, which
the people of that State are called upon to
fall down before and worship. That is the
| political pouer in New York Just now, an
tagonistic to the power of Governor FISH
and the Whigs-or the power of President
| taylor and his Administration.
Sustained by the State administration,
and identified with them in interests and
fortunes, President TAYLOR goes before the
people of New York, and says that it is his
object to give satisfaction to his country
men, and to give effect to the will of the
people as expressed through their constr
ltutional organs. He says further, that he
| will resort to no meas ures to coerce, to
disappoint, or to modify the expression OF
that will. This is what the people may
look for from President TAYLOR. What
are they to seek from this Ill-begotten
monster that now pretends to represent
Democracy in New York; Where are
we to look for the principles OF the CO
alition2 To Buffalo3 Old Hunkerdom re-
pudiates Buffalo. To Baltimore' Barn
burnerism revolts at the bare name. The
people of New York know not what to ex-
| pect, then, from the coalition. The COM
bined parties have no common principle,
except opposition to man who declares
that his only political aim is to give effect
to the will of the people, honestly and
constitutionally expressed!

day we shall have something to say on
the condition Ct things among our friends.
We do not believe that the reunion Of
Barnburners and Hunkerdom can revolu-
tionize the State. AT one time we were
apprehensive that we might suffer from
fdssensions in our own ranks-but these
fears are dispelled We believe that the
WINGS of New York will move forward IL
an united phalanx-and that they will
achieve victory that will be remembered
