stiu More Coalition.

The Democratic and Free soil parties of Mas
sachusetts promise to become thoroughly uni
ted and very happy family. Beginning with
the Senatorship and the Gubernatorial chair,
they are carrying their operations into every
county in the State, and seem likely at no re-
mote day to lose all distinctive differences. Put
ting the two together, they form a hybrid AMI
NAL, more singular in its form and habits than
any thing TO be found in the ordinary realms of
fact or fiction.
TO the list of alliances already published as
having occurred in Massachusetts, we have
now to add one in Plymouth county; the con
tracing parties being JABEz P. THOMPSON, of
Halifax, Democrat, and Mr.. PRoUTY, Of Scitu-
ate, Free soiler, both expectant senators for
the State. Glancing over the sayings of the
Democratic Convention, we notice that the
President spoke of deputies from the Free soil
Convention as gentlemen from the other
branch'-of the Democratic tree, of course.
Judging branches by their fruit, there can be
no doubt that both parties do proceed from the
same stock Their identity in Massachusetts is
merely compliance with the prompting of ma
ture. Like clngs to like all the world over.

auarre1s of Abolitionists.

Our news columns have already recorded some
Of the movements of Mr.. ScoBLE, secretary of
the (London) British and Foreign Anti-Slave-
ry Society, who has been travelling in the
Northern Sfates aud Canada for montho
past. Fridays New York papers contain re-
ports of lecture by this gentleman at Brook
lyn on the previous evenings and it is satslac-
tory to find that he took pains to repudiate con-
nexion or sympathy with Mr.. GEORGE THoMP-
SON, whose outrageous attacks on American
ill-feeling against the party whom he was sup
posed to represent Mr.. ScoBLE emphaticaly
denied all affinity between the society he rep
resents and THOMPSON; and he further main
tained-what we have throughout believed
that THoMPsoN's course was repugnant to the
feelings of the great body of his countrymen.
1t was the course of foul, ,mouthed adventurer,
assuming the garb of philanthropy as plain
matter of trade
A regular rupture has also occurred between
THOMPSON and his quondam ally, F. DouG-
LASS, the Rochester colored demagogue. 1t
seems that THOMPSON, in recent addresses in
England, has assailed the GERRIT SMITH class
of abolitonists, amongst whom stands DoUG-
LASS, who retorts that the attack comes with
hesitate to pocket money contributed by the
said section of fanatics. The quarrel is bitter
and instructive

colonel Forney and the Reporter.

We had occasion in our last to comment up
on Colonel FoRNEY's appearance in Tammany
Hall, and his alleged declaration, that " he
would rather vote for the worst Democrat that
ever lived than for the best Whig that ever
lived" We pointed out the immortality of the
principle involved, and the maze of mischief
and inconsistency into which it must plunge
any man who adheres to it. In brief edito-
rial in the Pennsylvania, Colonel FoRNEY
complains that he was unsupported. He says
he did not make the declaration alluded to,
and that he did not claim for the Democratic
party the credit of having triumphed in Georgia
and Mississippi. or course there will be a
gentle passage at arms between the gallant
colonel and the maligned reporters; but, end
as it may, we are glad to find that on one ques-
ton at least he is not SO bad as he has been
made to appear. Nothing beats sober second
thought, after all.

From the Philadelphia Lnqti'T.
NOn-Interventiom.-Pr Fillmore and
the Revolution Ina Mexico.

The proclamation Of Presi1ent FILLMORE in
relation to the revolution in Mexico has been
received with the livelest satisfaction. The
President states that there is reason to believe
that military expedition is about TO be htted
out in the United States for the purpose of invading
the Mexican Republic, with which this country Is
at peace, and he therefore warns all persons who
shall connect themselves With any such enterprise
that, if they should be captured within the 1ursdlo
tion Of the Mexican authorities, they must expect
to be tried and punished according TO the laws Of
Mexico, and they will have no right TO claim the
Interpolation of this Government in their behalf.
The rtonition is timely and every way proper. Ii
was rendered necessary in consequence of the ar
rival of intelligence from Consul at Matamoros,
to the effect that company of Texans was recent
ly organized and marched into Mexico, and that
new enlistmentH were in progress with similar
object. Mexico is a weak and tottering nation,
and having scarcely recovered from the effects of
disastrous war with this country it is the part Of
our Government 10 be liberal and magnaaimous.
We are bound, indeed by the requirements of in
ternatonal law, we'll by those of existing
treaties, to prevent any aggressive movement from
the United States. The authorities at Washington
fully aware of the existence Of revolutiona-
ry outbreak in Mexico along the Rio Grande, but
it hoped that il was confined TO citizens of
Mexico, and that hence this country would be
spared the shame and modification of an attempt
the part of any portion Of our citizens to inter
cre with disturb the fortunes of neighbor with
| whom we on terms of peace But it seems
that the spirit of rapne and adventure is abroad in
Texas, and hence the necessity of the Presidents
proclamation. 1t nculcates the proper spirit 1t is
in perfect harmony with the requirements and obi
! cations of the laws. In all such cases the Ma
tional Executive has but single path before him
that of constitutional duty. He s bound TO see
the laws respected and obeyed, and whether the
aggression be towards Spain or towards Mexico,
the obligation is alike incumbent. But in all such
cases, especially when popular prejudice and pop
! uar excitement run high, the President deserves
and should receive the encouraging support of the
moderate, the thoughtful, and the patrioticof all
| indeed who love peace, respect law, and cherish
the inviolabiity of treaty obligations. There lie,
moreover, spirit of recklessness and of license
abroad, in certain portions of the Republic, that
requires not only admonition but restraint. To
foster and encourage it, indeed, is not only to
NIT wrong and outrage, but to inspire doubt. ap-
prehension, and alarm, throughout civilized man
kind, as to the justice, conservatism, and tendency
of republican institutions.

THE GREAT INpIA-RuBBER CAsE.-The United
States courtroom was crowded this morning by
the rumor that the Hon. Daniel Webster was to
speak upon pending motion before the court in
the case of Goodyear u.s. Day. Mr.. Webster, Mr.
Choate with all the distinguished counsel on both
sdes were present, and also many other gentle
men of note from abroad, or resident in this vi
cinity.
Judge Curtis, having recently been engaged as
counsel in the case, was absent from the BENCH
and the hearing proceeded before Judge Sprague.
George 7. Curtis, esq, of counsel for plaintiff
argued in favor of the motion submitted on Tues
day, that the cause be assigned for trial in this
court on the Goth December next, and replied to
defendant's affidavit concerning intended delay,
and conspiracy to harass him, &C., by an en-
phatic denial of the charges, and counter aifda-
Wit from MIR. Judson, one of the original counsel in
the case.
MIR. Choate argued strenuously that the proposed
trial here be merged in postponed until after the
trial of the case upon its merits in the New Jersey
court on the 10Th February next, for which, he
said both parties had been preparing, as the grand
arbiter of their differing claims.
c. G. Lorng, esq, followed, in the advancement
Of some arguments to the same end.

in support of the motion for trial here in Deem

Progress of Filibusteris,n.

Shortly after the failure Of the Cuban expe-
dition. the New Orleans Delta and other south
ern papers announced the commencement of
secret organization, with the title of 1.-The Or
der Of the Lone STAR" and having for its object
i'the extension Of the area Of liberty" in other
words, the development of plans for assailing
the territory of friendly countries. The New
York S,tn--a worthy colaborer of the Delta Ill
these unatters-now publishes tho following
,I.oul4r, which is in course of circulation in
that city:
''CITY OF LAFAYETTE, La, - 1851.
"SIR An Order, entitled The LONE STAR has
been established in this city, having for its object
the EXTENSION THE AREA OF LIBERTY. 1t re-
ouires ten persons TO form division. Should you
and others in your vicinity desire to concert
with u.s. a charter will be granted, and an agent
despatched forthwith in order to initiate the mem
bers and assist in forming the division.
Respectfully,
"JNO. V. EVEN, President
"JLssE GILMORE, Cor. secy.'
The Sun has had too much experience in
affairs of this kind TO misinterpret this commu-
nicatIon:
1--WE take this To mean, in plain language,
that secret order is proposed for the purpose OF
aiding and assisting Cuban independence by every
possible means. and certainly the method is both
eimple and effective. Orders Of this kind could
not be interfered with by Government, and any
plan of operations might be fully perfected and
carried out with all necessary secrecy. Any ten
young men, for instance, could organize under the
above proposition, adopt their secret signs and
modes of proceeding in concert with other similar
divisions, and, when the original design was
fully fixed upon an extensive and tinexpected
emigration movement might lead to its final ac
complishment."
What is this but a direct recommendation
to Join the "Lone Star" Order, that, by means
of secret organization, rowdles and adventures
may battle the provisions of American law
and invade neighboring territory, TO punder
and conquer it at will2 And yet the journals
which take pains TO commend this new devel-
opment of criminal intentions are nightly
offended when reminded of responsibilities
growing out of flibustering action!
We have already shown that the Tammany
Hall Democracy is now linked with this cru
sade against law and order; and therefore the
Lone Star" societies may be expected to gain
many members in that quarter. Probably Mr..
Cory had an eye to something of this sort in
that wonderful Grafton of his on Wednesday
last. If not, it was exceedingly opportune, and
will hardly fail to elicit encomiums from both
the Sun and the Delta. The Union has al
ready endorsed it, as good, sound, wholesome
Democratic doctrine; so that Mr. Cory may
feel sure Of promotion when the "Order Of the
Lone Star" gets fairly at work

IncyeaH Of Population. n.-The National Intelli-
gencer contains letter 10 the editor Of that paper
from the venerable William Darby, in which, af-
ter alludng to the rapid progress Of Western emf
grafton, he makes the following calculations on the
probable population Of the country one generation
hence:
The Organized States and Territories on the
Eastern region of the United States embrace an
aggregate area 90 near one million two hundred
thousand square mles, that this aggregate area
may be adopted without much departure from
reality. Assuming the entire domain at three
millions of square miles, leaves yet for the already
organized sections, and the spaces unorganized,
of the Great Western or Pacific region, N areA
comprising one million eight hundred thousand
square miles. The actual population Of the whole
OF the United States territory may be assumed At
$4,000, ,O0O or twenty to the square mile on the
Eastern or Atlantic region. A similar distrbutive
population on the whole domain, from ocean to
ocean, would give IN aggregate of sixty milliOns
number which, on stfict mathematical analysis
on recorded data, afforded by actual progressive
numbers, will be reached by 1884, or thiriy-three
years from the present time. a may be seen by the
annexed tabular statement. In the National In
telligencer, No. 1894, u845) may be found a cen
tennial census table, calculated by me, extending
from 1870 to 1901, founded on the census of 1890.
and constructed on an annual increment of three
Der cent. per annum. The population in 1850, by
the census amounted to % $50, ,734; by my table
the population was given al 70 1888 004; difference
10, ,730; excess in favor Of the census. Adopting
my tabular numbers at every fifth year TO 1885,
the population will stand thus:
