The Beauties of Coalition!

The respectable Old Commonwealth of Mass

Such disgraceiul barterng of principle for

days of Esau! The modus operandi, in cleo
ting State Officers in Massachusetts, under
the Constitution of that State, when there is
no choice by the people, is as follows The
House selects two candidates from among those
voted for by the people, for Gov. and Lieut..
Gov, and sends them up 10 the Senate, one o.!
whom the Senate is obliged to elect. 1t has
heretofore been supposed that the two candi-
dates who had received the largest popular vote
were the ones intended by the constitution to
be presented to the Senate. Bat old motions
are repudiated by The existing coalition in
Massachusetts, Gov. BRIGGs, who received
20 900 more votes than the Locofoco candidate,
{ Boutwei) and 10000 more than the Free Soil
candidate Phillips was not considered worthy
to be presented to the Senate Of Massachusetts

New YORK CRcUIT CouRT.-We mentioned
yesterday the decision of the Court Of New
York in the case OF the fugitive slave, Henry
Long. On the application OF the claimant
counsel for the aid of the Marshal and his deps
utes in conducting Long back to Virginia,
Mr.. Jay said that he did not see the necessity
for such an interference of the power of the
Marshal, as the colored population had behaved
themselves quietly and decoroursly during the
proceedings.
Judge Judson said that every person who
had attended The Court Room had certtiny
conducted with great propriety and then the
Judge turned to the Clerk, and said, My bust
ness here is now at an end, and authorize the
Clerk to enter on the record that resign the
appointment held, as Judge of the Circuit
and District Courts, which held temporarily
during the lndispositon of Judge Belts.
Judge Belts resumed his province as Judge
of the Circuit a nd District Courts, and thanked
Judge Judson for the industry aud despatch he
had manifested in dsposing of the business,
much regretting the accident which had occurs
red to him during the recen, proceedings.
Henry was removed from the Court in the
custody of the Marshal, and the Court adjourn

This debate has already attracted consdera

Of the Law in question by "ludicious reference
10 that swift witness" Commissioner Ingra-
ham, Of Philadelphia, who picks niger up
before he is down." and decides that the pre- :
sumption Of law is, that man is Slave if he
happens to be caught in honest industry, in a
Slave-hodng Stale! a great law, a rcry
great law, and essential to the "union and har-

Market Gardening and High Farming.

We complete, this evening, the publication
Of an article from the Albany Cultirator cnti-
tied as above. As our readers will perceive, it
is from the pen of the Hon. FREDERICK lloL-
BROOK, of Brattleboro. We believe it will
prove no less interesting to the general reader,
than to our Farmer subscribers 1t is inleres-
ting every way i'm the facts it sets forth, in the
sensible differences drawn from those facts, and
in the clear and perspicuous method of its state
mens. Mr.. HoLBRooK is IA model writer on
agricultural topics ;-and it is simply because
he understands whereof he afiirms, and aims
at nothing beyond the Truth. He is himself a
practical agriculturist ,-the difference between
HIM and "peoPe in general being, that he is
highly cultivated man anxious that the
developments of Science shall be made availa-
BILE for the improvement of Agriculture. No
man does more than he does to produce this
desirable result.
We need not commend Mr. lIoLBRo oK s
article to our readers. They will perceive its
design and profit by its suggestions. Bat we
cannot refrain from saying that it is no less adj
mirab!e in execution than in intention. The
last parag, IA Us are almost faultlcss. Its the
calm wisdom of absolute conviction, ex presse d
with a dignity and force of manner that give

ton its highest point.

who was the Free Soil candidate, before cleo

in The Senate!! All his political friends de-
serted him, and went for Bouiuell, the Old
Line Locofoco candidate Not a solitary Free
Soiler in the Massachusetts, Senate voted for
his party candidate for Governor !! And we
are rejoced to say, not solitary WING in that

they were under no obligations to choose and
to their everlasting honor they did not They
stood still, and permitted the dirty Coalition to
execute its bargain and corruption"
We commend to the notice of the citizens Of
Vermont in general and to the Burlington Cou-
rer in particular, the following article on this
subject, which we take from the Burlington
Sentinel of this morning.
| We learn by last evenings mail that Hon. GEoRgE
| ,. boutwell, has been elected Governor OF Mass1-
oh sets, receiving thrty.two ont OF thirty -four votes
cast by the Senate. This event affords cause for
| sincere cOngratuauon among democrats throughout
| the country. Mr. Boutwell,, sIys he Times, is
| democrat Of the old school, uncompromisng il his
hostility to dsuuiun teucts OF every complexion aud
firm and consistent advocate OF the national priu-
! cipes OF his party Henry w. Cushman is elected
| Lieutenant Governor by twcnty-nine votes, Mr..
Cu7hman Is also a sterling democrat, and detests
| dSuuonls as he does rattlesake. He is eminent
ly qualified for the post to which he has been elected
and will wear the mantle OF office gracefully and
honorably."
The Times adds -
"Thus far them the democracy Of Massachusetts
have no renson to regret the coalition of November
last It now remains with their Repre- sentativrs IN
the Legislature to carry the good work thus au-
Spciousy begun, Jy stcddtast and upfiRching

This comes of dirty, vile, unprincipled, and
disgraceful Coalitions In the resent instance
there is not even ordinary honor among
