The Coalition IN MICHIG AN.-We copy the
following from the Detroit Advertiser:
The Detroit Free Press, whichis the organ of
General Cass, continues to keep up its glorifica.
ton over the victory in Michigan, while it is no.
torious to every person familiar with the politics
of the State that in every strong Locofoco town
ship, almost without exception, McClelland has
lost, while in the Freesoil townships he has uni
formly gained. The victory" about which so
much clamor is made, is the result Of an open
coalition on the part of General Lewis Cass with
the Freesol vote of the State, entered into under
the full consciousness on his part, that upon his
own merits the State must go strongly Wing.
We took full and accurate notes at the late Lo-
cofoeo State convention; and we can therefore
give good reasons for what we assert in relation
to this subject and we do say, without fear Of
successful contradiction, that the nomination of
Robert McCleland was made by the very men
who supported Ebenezer j. Penniman and Jas
l.. Conger one year ago; and was made against
the most active exertions OF the true bunker De-
mocracy. The Free Press may undertake to
hoodwink the South now that the election is
over, by the publication of high-sounding resp
utions, and the reiteraton of the claims of
General Cass to be looked upon as a Union
Democrat but it can never disguise the fact that
Lewis Cass has been compelled to court the
Abolition vote, to save himself from defeat at
the hands of Michigan Wings.

New. Relief Issues.
THE INCONSISTENCY OF wHIGGERY.

avoidance OF the inclined planes on the
Allegheny Portage road, and authorized q
loan OF that amount, the two organs oil

most authoritative manner, that the Gov.

however, went over 10 The Senate the
friends of the executive, in that BODY,
brought forward 4 proposition, no doub!

disturbances in Canada. During the ad.
ministration of Gov. Ritner, his native

aprH Sth 185I.-The meeting was
again organized. Mr.. Johnston, from the
committee appointed yesterday, reported
the following Preamble and Resolutions:
WHEREAS: 1t hath pleased an All-Wise
Providence, in his inscrutble DEGREES, to
call from the field of his earthly labors,
the Hon. Thomas Burnside, late an As
socate Judge of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania. and
WHEREAS: The members of this Bar.
most of whom, from an intimate personal
acquaintance, with the lamented dead, can
bear witness to his distinguished merits as
a mem Der OF the legal profession, as well
as the singular simplicity of his heart, and
kindllness of his disposition;-not only on
the bench, where his honesty of PURPOSE
shone no less conspicuously than his high
legal attalnments;-but at the freside
where his frankness attracted the conf
dence of all; and where his social powers
made him the centre OF interest: feel, in
common, with their legal brethren all over
the State, the great loss we have sustained.
Therefore,
ResoiUed, That while bearing submiss-
lVely to the stroke of just Heaven, we
cannot but feel that in the death of Judqe
Burnside great man has fallen in Israel;
and that one of our most brilliant Ieoal
lights has been forever extinguished.
ResOlUed, That in him whose demise
has called forth this expression of feeling
were happily blended all the sterling

REMEMBER,

That on and after the 3Oth day Of June
next, the '.Msuntain Sentinel will be
forwarded TO all parts of the county FREE
OF POSTAGE. We contemplate in a
very short time 10 increase the appear
ance of our paper by supply of new and
excellent type, and shall endeavor TO make
the "Sentinel'' paper worthy the sup
port OF every one. To remunerate US we
should be better supported, and now make
the proposition, that if we can receive two
hundred new subscribers we will reduce
the price to sI,5O per year. This is
cheap. Cannot each one of our present
patrons obtain one subscriber and send US
his name. Try it. You can if you will.
This is all we ask and you will be the
gamers, we the losers. Two HUNDRED
more names will secure the Sentinel for
81 80 per year.

The Democracy Of Indiana.

A letter from leading Democrat says:
Every thing is right in Indiana. We
mean to purge the party of Freesoillsni-
which will all GO over 10 Scott.
The intelligent correspondent OF the
Charleston Courier expresses similar
opinion, as follows, in regard TO the prob
able course of the Sewardite party. The
indications in the Boston Atlas, Albany
Journal, and other leading .higher law
journals, point to the same conclusion.-
The Republic, and several Fillmore or
gans, are alarmed at the signs of the times,
and earnestly appeal to the Wings TO alb
stain from a premature nomination OF
Presidential candidates:
1.-The President has created quite
futter in New York by the removal Of
prominent free soilers from offices
and it is believed that he will g--.'' anu u
remove all the ~.L~.s-peIng now well
convinced that he can expect nothing from
Them but hostility. This policy, il ad-
hered to, will undoubtedly, as we can now
easily see, divide the Whig party in the
n Northern and Eastern States, and Gen.
Scott will be the candidate of thai portion
of the Whig party opposed TO fugitive act.
and either Mr.. Clay, Mr.. Fillmore, OF
Mr.. Webster of the other portion of the
party"

more than ordinary feeling on account of
the large appropriations contained in it,
and the authority given to the Banks to
issue million of dollars in small notes
