ANOTHER "CoALITIoN" IN MASSACHUSETTS

At Concord, on Wednesday last, the work Of CO.
alition was commenced in good earnest between the
g National Democrats and Free-Soilers " of
Massachusetts,, and, SO far as the nominations for
State Senators from Mddlesex county are concern
ed, the work was successfully completed-each
party being prepared to take the others nominees
and ask no questions about them. The business
having been thus begun, other counties in the State
will doubtless follow the example, and coalitions,
where there is chance Of their accomplishing any
thing, will become the order of the day.
For the information of such of our Democratic
contemporaries as pretend to believe that the Free
Soilers receive encouragement and support alone
from the Wings, we make the following brief ex-
tracts from the proceedings of the two Conventions
above referred to. we find th0". -spnrtod in the
