The Coalition principle. We observe that it
is the fashion, in calls for Coalition Conventions,
to invite oil TO come who are opposed 10 the ad-
ss,n,stratisn. Of course the public have right
to infer that opposition to the administration is
their whole stock Of principle. And what a
principle Is that? Opposition or wrong:
u that principle? If these gentlemen are OPP
posed to any Of the principles or the measures of
the administration, let them face the music and
specify the Objectionable things. This poor,
miserably poor, game Of indiscriminate opposi-
lion, never will be sustained by honest and in.
telligent freemen. Surely it never ought 10 be.

Louisiana furnishing firms for the Cuban Err
pedition.-The fourth days proceedings in the
examination of Gen Lopez at New Orleans, re-
ceivec by mail, develope some new and startling
facts. The principal witnesses examined were
Francois Garcia, keeper of the Stale Arsenal,
his brother, A. Garcia, and T. Moran, employed
in the arsenal. and Jacob Soria, father-in-law of
Gen. Rowley, Adjutant General of the State.
These all testify that during tie months of April
and May, large quantity of arms were deliv-
cred from the arsenal, by order OF Gen Rowley,
to persons who were to call for them, though
the object for which they were TO be used was
not stated. The arms consisted Of $50 guns,
so pistols, and 100 or l40 sabres. They were
packed in boxes and delivered to a colored man
who came to the arsenal and took them away in
drays, Mr.. Soria experimenting the removal
Some were delivered in the day time, and some
At night.
We have suspected that South Carolina pos
sibly furnished either arms or money to this
expedition. louisiana, it seems, is in the boat.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twenty-fou Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
llusrious in the service OF the country Every por-
ton Of the work will receive the most careful atten
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of !!'e Re
public.
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady rs
reputation has been too long established to need any
Recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in tie
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
OF the living countenancc.
The drawings and engravngs Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, rade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope it
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame through bout the nation Each Of the great de-
partnents of life will have its representatives. Art
and literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
ument to the great men of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of glorious Mon, will respond to APP
zeal for encourag ment and aid in commendable an
undertaking, that its publication may make an era in
he progress Of American AIT, and by grouping Ike
illusrious of the Union together, consolidate 1t
still more firmly
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of most Of citizens the publish
er5 have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
