THE CoALITIoN coNTINuEp.

progress Of vile political coalition between
factions protesting the most opposite prin-
ciples, but banded together by common
interest in obtaining and distributing the
"spoils. y In one section, Free Soil y is
adopted as the motto, because it appeals to
the sympathy and the prejudice Of vast
majority Of the people in the Free States.
In the other, the rights Of the South and the
extension Of slavery are openly advocated,
because they address themselves to the fire.
sides and to the feelings Of the slave-holding
community While thus nomnally arrayed
against each other on question the most
delicate and dangerous that has ever been
discussed since the formation Of the govern
| ment, and which formed one of the grayest
and most troublesome topics before the con-
ventlon which framed the constitution, they
are secretly working to the same end, and
all their efforts are directed to the same OBJ
ject. The slavery agitation al the North
and South, is employed as means of ac-
complishing selfish design, ana the Adolf
tionists and Disunionists are engaged in a
common cause, are prompted by the same
motives, and are governed by the same in

In order TO re-acquire power, the unscru-
puous and ambitious leaders Of this self
styled Democratic party, willleave no expert
ment nntried, nor hesitate to adopt any expe-
dent that necessity may require. Thus,
for the purpose Of Strengthening themselves
in the Northern States, combinations are
daily forming between what are called the
"Free Sellers" and Democrats, that is
Of men, who express the utmost adherence
Of the institution Of slavery and its further
extension, and Of other men, who are its adj
vocates, and who Upon the floors of Con-
gress, allied themselves with the. South up
on every proposition affecting the issue be-
tween the two sections In a recent arti-
Gle we lnstanced the attempted combination
in New York, the successful result in Con-
necticut and the rally in Wisconsin; all nov
ing in one direction and all showing a fixed
resolution to coalesce the EXTREMIST elements
for the purpose Of attaining success The
last movement of this sort has been made in
Vermont, in which the Aboltionists and the
Democrats proper, have united upon COM

the arts and the resorts of the managers who
control the Democracy" who establish its
principles (3) and who live upon the profits
Of its triumphs, produced by these disrepu-
table agencies.
Democracy has become trade in which
the worst men and the worst passions are en-
listed TO get possession Of the government,
that they may administer it for the benefit Of
lew arlstocratic leaders and the Instruments
whom they use in executing their schemes.
Il has no principle but self, and no God but
Mammon. 1t is fol abolition at the North
and for slavery at the South--it is for free
trade in Carolina and for prohibition in Penn
sylvania-lor internal improvements in the
West and against them in the East-in fact,
i Is for every peculiar doctrine or ultraism,
that may extend its influence in any partic-
ular locality, without reference to right or
reason.
The Washington Union which keeping
apace with the coalition between the two
sections, has deemed it prudent to divide its
editorial responsibilities, between an editor,
who sympathises with the Abolitionsts and
another who is identified with the existence
and perpetuation of slavery-rejoices over
the coalition with indiscreet exultation, and
betrays the cloven foot in its zeal to pro-
claim over supposed weakness. We are not
disposed 10 disturb the day-dreams of future
success which the decayed imagination Of
the senior editor of the Union has conured
up for the occasion IL he can find satislac-
ton in such an anticipation, he may enjoy
it, for it will be the only fruit of his expect
ed, but far distant victory.
The admission made by the Union in its
last number, is worthy Of notice in this con-
neXiOn:

were made by the democrats OF Connecticut and Vir
gnia we are confident their success will be equally
signal and glorious "
II will be seen that the Abolitionists who
combined with the orthodox Locolocos in
Connecticut are denominated by the same
party distinction as the " Democrats of Vir-
ginla," who made the election turn upon the
EXTREMIST ground Of the slavery question,
and that "our friends o--that is, the Adolf
.ohis's VI ihuiaha, ana the slavery men OF
Mlsslsslppi-are invoked to follow the ex-
ample, and thus, by base coalition and
fraud upon each section, consummate "suc-
cess that will be equally signal and glorious"
In our view, it is only necessary to pre-
sent the facts Of this Infamous coalition, in
order to excite the Just Indignation Of the
country against these desperate and unprin-
c'pled intrlguers, and to arouse the North
and the South alike, not only to proper
appreciation Of these hypocrtical professions,
but to sense Of duty which they owe to the
cause Of good government and conservative
principles in the ensuing elections. Phil
