veiee Of the Alabama Democracy on the New
Coalition.

The tdings Of the last coalition in Congress,
We knew. would excite the bitterest indignation
in the bosoms of the Southern Democracy. We
give one echo from Alabama, which will show
how truthful were our warnings, and how fatal
to all hopes Of reorganization the consum.
nation Of that scheme would have been.
The Montgomery Advertiser and Gazette Of
April 18th thus sternly denounces the plot and
aVows the consequences. Its language is too
plain to be misunderstood. When we state the
fact that the Advertiser is the central organ Of the
Alabama Democracy-second TO no paper in the
State in infuence-and among the first Of those
prints to. advocate q reorganization Of the De.
mocracy-double significance and force must be
given to its emphatic and indignant protest:
"We have learned, with no little concern, that
the printing committee of the two Houses of
Congress, consisting Of four Democrats and too
Wings, upon terminating the contract with the
old Proprietors, have formed coalition and
given the public printing Of the two Houses to
the Union and Republic newspapers. We say
we learn this with concern, because IL such
coalitions are 10 be formed and tolerated be

pears to have been the design in this instance,
then there is no use Of talking about harmony,
cooperation and unity in our party.
We may as well dsband, for all attempts 10

Washington Union, and those whose peculiar
views il represents, 10 force the compromise

however, that this is only little peace of petty

how you triAe with the interest and feeling Of
80 respectable portion Of the Democratic
party,as that, which you never can drive into an
approval Of what they condemn we can endure
and submit TO much that we do not and piu not

brought at once TO comprehend We are willing
to Jet by-gones be by.gones upon the compro.

is attempted to be resurected and set up as the

We hope we are sufficiently understood.
