The November EIection-Party Coalitions
The Fourier organ and our Wall street cotem-
perary, as well rs that Robert Macaire OF the New
York journals the Express, are dreadfully shock
ed, and lift up their hands IN holy horror at the
coalition between the two late hostile factions Of
the lccofocos. It is black and white amalgama-
ton, 20 unnatural and barbarous, and altogether
such political, religious, and moral monstrosiy,
as to call down the righteous "wrath and cabbage"
of the whole immaculate wing party. 1t is abso-
lutsly disgusting that any coalition of the sort
should be deliberately organized in New York, at
this time, for the purpose of defrauding the wings
of "the loaves and fishes" But it can't be helped.
The locos have agreed upon the grand conspiracy,
and the only live chance for the wings is to gather
up all the stray fragments they can, and make the
most of them. If they have any loose cash hand,
now is the time to distribute tiff they have any
men still out of office, willing to huckster, bride,
and humbug the 'industrial classes now is the
time to send them out Let the filth accumulate
in the streets till within three days of the election,
and then fill them with men out of employment,
supplied with brooms, shovels, carts, &C., and
grog, paid for by the committees of the different
wards, and something may be done to secure
the city. Let capable preacher of 'free SOIL free
farms, and free houses" go up among the anti
renters, and some good may be done among the
Indians. Hunt up the negro Douglass, and give
him corporation dinner, and the aboltionists will
cave in. Desperate cases require desperate rene
dies; and this is not the time to stand upon trles
Apart from all this, the wings have yet SEINE
hope from the constant scratching Of the old sore
Of free soil. The editors of the Erening Post are
particularly conscientious on this point, and they
take occasion to say
.If the democratic candidates for State Offices wish
which have been addressed TO them b
fore the public without much farther delay"
What are these inierogatones' Why are they
not answered. Are the old hunkers TO be COM
PEELED to an absolute surrender body and breeches
"while Mordecai, the Jew, is sitting in the kings
gatep' Are they not even to be allowed, at dscre-
ton, change Of ." old clio nor patch Of fifty
cent coat TO keep up appearancesl But the Albany
Afias, the late especial organ OF Prince John and
company, takes more common sense view OF the
case. He talks like a true politician on the real
Issue, when he says
The true tsst Of democracy now Is TO beat the wings
the State, asd administer manly rebuke to the
administration at Washington for its Arrogance in
thr,aeping 10 frovn down the freedom Of opinion AM
the right OF discussion United principle the New
York democracy nyincible, and will be victorious
That is to say, the only real Issue between the
parties Is to get the most votes, the most offices,
and the most of the public plumber. The only
principles at stake the seven principles of John
Randolp h-"the five loaves and two fishes" To
secure these, all sorts of tricks nrgues, schemes
bargains and sales plots and coalitions, are adj
mitted 10 be perfectly excusable.
And yet the squash philosophy OF the Tribune,
soft, and pliable, and lnspid as il is, cannot com
prehend "what common principle animates this
motley array Of the old hunkers and the barn
burners, whom they cursed, kicked, and spit
upon, but a short time ago" Ii is the common
principle of the spoils. And the "motley array"
is quite in the fashion. What are the elements
Of the wing party Of New York; Some twenty
odd years ago, twas without shape or substance.
II wanted capital to start upon II raised the cry
Of anti masonry; and the suggestion that Tim Mon
roe, with his whiskers shaved off, would "make
a good enough Morgan till after the elecuon," was
seized upon, and appropriated with some success
This was the foundation Of the Seward school
of the wing party IN New York, which has
since absorbed aboltionism, anti-rentIsm, Fou-
Iierism, socialism, and all the isms and schisms
and isg ends and scraps Of all parties, of every COM
plexion, as circumstances have required. The
coalitions of the wing party, therefore, are about
as motley as the present "motley array" Of
the locofocos. Both parties are made up Of coali-
tons Of all kinds Of leose materials, aud the prn-
sples Of each are precisely the ssme-the seven
principles Of John Randolph. Their professed doc
rnes must be modified to SUIT circumstances.
The bsrnburners Effected their object in defeating
Cas-. They were satisfied that Van Buren, was
revenged but the wings were using their fingers
to rake on, the chesnuis from the fire. They are
tired Of the game, and they fall back upon the old
coalition. The is the motley array" which
gives such a ealvenc shock to Massa Greeley.
The mantle Of Old Grimes, /" the long white coat
he used to wear, all buttoned down before" does
our organ Of the Reds no good. "Motley is has
only wear" And yet to talk Of the "motley array"
cf the locos The sip pie fact Is, that each party
is a coalition Tor the spoils," and the strongest
gets them. The "motley array" il united, is
the strongest. They have united; and the Corpo-
ration printing is in danger. There's the great
danger to the wing party
