The Union is much concerned at re-
mark of ours, that General TAYLOR had
need of no other majorites in Congress
than such as the people see fit to elect.
This our French contemporary" regards
as an effort to take General TAYLOR
"down from the Wing platform" We do
not remember that the Philadelphia con-
vention erected any platform on which
they placed their candidate for the Presi-
dency. AT Baltimore the Locofocos raised
wonderful platform, and displayed Gen
eral Cass on the apex of it, But he was
not greatly admired. At Buffalo the Free
Sellers raised another, and Mr. Van Blu
ren-that sweet little fellow-peered sml-
ngly over the ratings. But he was less
regarded than General Cass. These were
the two platforms OF the last Presidential
canvass, and the people overturned them
as so much rubbish, as they indeed were.
General TAYLoR's platform is the Consti-
tuition. In principle he is Whig-a de-
cided Whig-as he proclaimed himself to
be. As such he will recommend such
measures as he shall deem essential to the
prosperity Of the country. But inasmuch
as he is not pledged to throttle Congress
and cram "platform" down its throat,
he may well content himself with the
complexion the people choose to give to
the legislative body. A good Wing has
no need Of other majorities than the people
see fit to elect but this is not the case
with Locofoco President-he has need
Of majorities other than those the people
choose to elect. He must have platform
majority, or get one by hook or crook, or
he is nothing. The Union so admits, else
it would not hold it criminal in General
TAYLOR to be content with such maiorities
as the people choose to elect. The need
Locofoco President has Of smaiorities
which the people do not see fit to elect"
is illustrated by the daily columns of the
Union. If the people do not vote precise
ly as that journal would have them, they
are denounced as fools, dupes, and some
thing worse. They are no more entitled
to consideration-they are not even re-
garded as people. If Connecticut should
vote for the Wings, the people there are
straightway turned to nutmegs. If Yer
mont goes for the Wings, the people there
are considered blue-lights, or buried with
the defunct members of the Hartford con-
vention.. So of the rest. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that any President should need
other majorities than the people choose to
elect; but such has been often the case
with Locofoco Presidents, and the people
have been greatly abused for foolhardiness
in voting for those they do "see fit to
elect"
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-10-19

The New York Herald, good authority
with the Democracy of late, says that one
of the objects of the two wings of the party
in effecting the coalition is, to bring for
ward, at the proper time, Colonel Benton
as the Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency. is this the reason why such studied
silence is observed on the part of the '.for-
eign organ" in this city towards Colonel
Benton' Or are they waiting until the
elections in New York, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, and Wisconsin are over, before
they open their battery upon GOLD Bull
LIoN'" Speak out, gentlemen Of the
Union, and let us know whether the New
York Herakd-which of late is such un-
questionable authority with you and your
party-has assigned the true reason for
the coalition in New York between the
Abolitonists and your party friends. Let
us have light.

The Abolition and Old Hunker Coalition
In New York.

Joshua Leavitt, Of New York, as ultra
an Abolitionist as ever lived, has followed
in the footsteps Of Mr.. Giddings, of Ohio,
and takes open ground in favor of the bas-
tard ticket in that State. He seems to
think that the prostration and defeat of the
Wing party at the coming election in the
Empire State is indispensably necessary
to the final success of Aboltionism there;
and that such result will merge entirely
sold Hunkerism" into Free Soilism. The
Euening Post copi,s and endorses letter
from Leavitt upon the subject of the coai-
ton in New York, which contains some
slight revelation of the policy the Free
Sellers intend TO establish. Joshua writes
upon this point as follows
81 have made inquiries until am fully
satisfied that our friends in the State of
New York are sound and true, bold and
wise; that they hare neither deserted us nor
the Buffalo platform, nor the Free Soil
party and that they will stand with us,
shoulder to shoulder, until victory crowns
our efforts in the freedom of our country
from its worst evil and greatest danger.
They have been called to act i'm an occa-
sion calling for the exercise of the most
consummate political skill and courage;
and they believe that they have been car
ried through the difficulty as the skiliul
mariner, who makes epen cross currents
and adUese gales speed has ship TO port.
They know what they are about, and are
abundantly responsible for what they do.
Let us wait and judge by the result If
they should be disappointed in the issue.
(Which think hardly possible they are
pledged to stand by the Free-Soil cause,
and they piH 40 so, be the cost whot ii uany.
But if they succeed, (as think they wili,)
you can Judge as well as |, how much adj
vantage il will be, in 1852, to have the
Empire State already enlisted in our
ranks"
The New York Courier and ENQUIRER,
in commenting upon this high Abolition
authority which is endorsed by the Even-
ing Post, very justly and with great pro-
priety says:
cit seems, from this, that the Free
Sellers know what they are about They
think themselves, in all matters of politi-
cal trickery, fully match for Marcy,
Croswell & Co. Although they NAV seem
to have gone back to the old Democratic
ground. they have neither deserted the
Free-Soll party nor the Buffalo PLATFORM
They are simply seeking 10 enlist the Dem.
ocratic party of the Empire State in the
ranks of the .dboiiiionisfs, for the Presi-
dental contest of 1852 If the game sue
ceeds, very well. If not, they simply go
back to their old ground-for they are
.pledged to stand by the Free Soil cause,
and Mey wiH do so, be The cost what ii
mag''"
Will the elite Of the foreign organ in
this city again reterate its congratulations
at the union" of the Democratic party in
New York;
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-10-19

"Thc late administration, it is known, properly
declined, within the last few weeks of its term,
doing any thing that might embarrass their sue
cessors; and this Nicaragua business among
the very first matters to which the attention of Mr..
Clayton was alled."-Union.
The Union gave US another two columns
and half, yesterday, on the Nicaragua
question. With singular aptness it has
adopted the caption of estate Secrets" for
its lucubrations concerning the condition
of this interesting subject. These ''se-
crets" consist of vague and often contra
dictory rumors, which it picks out Of the
Washington correspondence of sundry pa
pers at distance, eked out of the conclu-
sons of its own ingenuity in torturing and
twisting the language of its contemporaries
into shapes to suit its purposes. The
Union is so tcute" in finding out State
secrets, and has such happy turn at in
venting them when there is dearth of
facts to go upon, that it would make an
admirable plenipotentiary to Ichaboe, or
any other naturally dull and insipid local
ty. The world would then be enriched,
intellectually as well as physically, from
the exports of that island. The same YES
sells which sailed thence, freighted with
its peculiar productions to vivify and
strengthen WORKOUT and decrepid soils,
would also bring a world of prurient estate
Secrets" and other intellectual compost, to
quicken and invigorate the gossip of the
times.
We note a sentence in the "sole or
gan's" last illumination. Ii is at the head
of this article. II seems that the last ad
ministration, out of tenderness for their
successors, did "decline," "within the
last few weeks of its term" to take up
this Nicaragua business. every proper
ly," too, says the Union. Out of very
delicacy they omitted to give the "Mon-
roe doctrine" a parting blizzard, and dy-
ing "made no sign"
This was "proper," very proper, quoth
the Union. Will our contemporary now
inform us what the Polk administration did
in the premises the few weeks previous to
the ''ast few of its term" within which
it was ''proper" for them to do "nothing'"
What did the last administration do in re-
gard TO this very matter, the last gears of
its term' Did it conduct itself very prop
erly the whole Of that timer Had they
prescience Of their election from office,
and so allowed fears of embarrassing
their successors" to overcome their sense of
what was due to the "rights, "interests,"
and "honor of the country" for the full
half of Presidential term' Or did they
march bluff up to Great Britain, with the
"Monroe platform" in one hand and a
gauntlet in the other, as soon as they were
notified by Nicaragua of English designs
upon the Mosquito coastl These are points
which the Union should make clear to the

1.-The making of loose general accusations the
proof TO sustain reue which is only in the posses
sion of the State Department, and then calling for the
disproef of them, ~ a most unworthy and dishon
orable mode of assault, of piece with the course
pursued in this whole business - Union.
Exactly so. You are continually making
"loose general accusations" and scaling
for the hspooE" precisely under the cir
cumstances which, according to your own
words, make it ga most unworthy and
mode OF assault" Now that
the Union confesses its "mode OF assault"
to have been dishonorable," will it
amend its course
