THE ..DIsGUsTlNa COALITION"

offered at meeting of the Democratic Re-
publican Committee of the city of New
York, by Mr. BENJAMIN F. BUTLER, and
unanimously adopted. These resolutions
contemplate the reorganization of the
Locofoco party in the State of New York,
as il has been recognized in Wisconsin,
Connecticut, and Vermont, upon an ex
clusively sectional basis. The object of
the reorganization is to break down the
Administration of President TAYLOR, and
thus to prepare for the restoration of
the corruptionists, defaulters, and pecula-
tors who plundered the Treasury during
the reign of Mr.. VAN buren,, and who are
now, the first time for twenty years, in
the way OF being elected and excluded from
Office. A reunion is proposed by means of
which the HoYTs, BUFFERS, Eli MooREs
and PURDYs hope tore-establish themselves
in the high places of Government, with the
men who made Mr.. ,WooDBURY's admins
tration ofthe Treasury Department so Justly
odious to the countryside bankrupt regis
tiers and receivers of the western land
Offices, who have been. pilloried to indy
ing notoriety in the public documents of
the period to which we refer. This is the
object of the great coalition of the Van Blu
rens and Locofocos, which is now in pro-
gress in the northern States. These are
the allies and co-workers of the Union in
the opposition organizing TO overthrow the
Administration of General TAYLOR.
This condition of things appeals with
marked emphasis to our friends in the
States where Congressional elections are
yet to take place. Should the Opposition
succeed in the object they have now in
view-should they secure majority in
the House Of Representatives-they will
count confidently on the ultimate success
Of the vast sectional movement they con
template in the northern States. The
next Presidential election will turn upon
merely sectional issues. With working
majority in the lower House, the WHIGs
will be able to complete the work which
the people have commenced. 1t will be
in their power to effect those reforms in
legislation which moderate men of all par
ties now deem desirable. They will be
able to adjust, on broad national grounds,
the difficulties which now agitate the
country. They will be able to soothe and
tranquillize the public mind--to infuse a
national spirit into public afairs-instead
OF inaaming and irritating local jealousies
and antipathies by the course which the
Union denounced so bitterly less than a
twelvemonth since, viz, "by building up
a new Northern party on the most mis-
chievous OF all distinctions in a confede-
racy Of states-secfionai feelings and geo
graphical interests"
We are somewhat curious to know in
what manner the Union will, at the pres
ent moment, regard the proposed coalition.
