The New YORK CoALirIoN.-We invite the
attention of our readers to the following extract from
the New York Times, leading Democratic jour
nal, edited by Maj Moan, on the subject of the late
coalition, over which Southern Democrats are re-
Jocing 81 he Democrats in convention were i'm
sructed by their constituents to extend the hand of
forgiveness to the recusant Barnburners, but only on
condition that no test should be adopted, and
Inc old Democratic platform sustained. What is
the result! The chairman of the Free Soil or
Abolition cUiGn,lttee, in reference to this Union,
said:
,"Ipe crpect 10 make The Democratic party ofthis
STATE Hc great ANTI SLAVERY PARTY OF THIS STATE
and through 1t 10 make The Democratic party of The
united States The great ANTI SLAVERY PARTY OF
THE UNITED STATES. Those who do not contcm-
plate t,is result, will do well TO get ont of the
scdu."
Wiih,his open declaration of war against the con
stltutonal rights of The Southern States, aud this
covert attempt to drive eeccn States out the Union
by the establishment of an abolition party. can any
honest, patriotic Democrat vote that Union State
ticketE The Barrburners have tho entire victory
oil this coalition to themselves, giving only few
prominent Offices in the State TO the Hunkers and
The Van Buren, dynasty if the ticket should succeed
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 principle
cannot do SO. Should the state of New York elect
joint Democratic and Abolition ticket, there will
be great political movement made through bout the
Union The entire Democracy of the slave States
will rally round the present Administration. The
PRESIDENT, being Southern man, is 10 be relied up
on In ultimately defeating the plans of the abolition
lists against the integrity of the Union. This will
