THE NORTHERN COALITION.


to the following quotations from the N.
Y. Times, leading Democratic or Hun.
ker journal. edited by that veteran in
politics, M M. Noah:
at seems to US to be utterly impos.
sible for the Democrats, as a body, to
vote for the State union ticket, which
their delegates have adopted. Indeed
we have no confidence that either Hun.
kers or Barnburners will vote for it, for
neither can do SO with honor, if any
value is to be attached TO their avowed !
and frequently declared principles
The Democrats have never been favora-
BILE to carry slavery into new territories
but always denied the power of Con-
gross, under the Constitution to prohibit
it by law. This Union makes them sur

were instructed by their constituents to
extend the hand of forgiveness to the
recusant Barnburners, but only on con.
dition that no ne,o test should be adopted
and the old Democratic platform sus.
tanned What is the RESULT The chair
man of the Free Soil or Abolition com
mittee, in reference TO this union, said:

party Of this State the great ANTI.SLA-

United States the great AN11-SLAvERy

who do not contemplate this result, will

with this open declaration of war
against the constitutional rights of the
southern States, and this covert attempt
TO drive cleuen States out of the Union,
by the establishment of an abolition
party, can any honest, patriotic Dem.

The Barnburners have the entire vic

rem dynasty, if the ticket should sue
coed, will be still in the ascendency.-
We have no belief that it can succeed.
Those who go only for victory may
vote it-those who attach value TO prin-
ciple cannot do so. Should the State of
New York elect joint Democratic and
Abolition ticket, there will be a great
political movement made throughout
the Union. The entire Democracy of
the slave states will rally round the pres
ent Administration. The President
being a southern man, is 10 be relied
upon in ultimately defeating the plans
of the Abolitionists against the integrity
of the Union. There will be the results
of any successful political movement
against the rights pr The South.
The sectional character of this new
organization assuming the name of De
mocracy stamps upon il an aspect hi,h
erto unknown TO any political forma
lion in this country. By the exclusive
nature of its one principle it repels from
its communion every State south o
Mason and Dixon's line-every State
below the Ohio. Those in the South
who have pleased themselves with TIT
strange delusion that they constituted
