standing in and obstructing one of our CHIEF

rumored indulgence. We woudsuggest that
instead ola pleasure trip, it be made visit oil
Inspection through the various streets and al

promote the same object Pittsburg Franklin,

would doubtless be largely attended, not only
by persons living in the vicinity, but even from
remote parts OF the State; and, besides collect

COALITIONS.
ST. CLAIRsvILLE, ONO,

ST. CLAIRsvILLE, ONO,
February 3, 1853.
To the Editor of the National Era:
1t is urged by many prominent Free Demo
Gratis, that the Free Democracy should, under
no circumstances, and for no purposes, cast
their suifrages either for Wing or Old Line
Democrat, for any Office in the gift of the
People. This is question of Importance, and
should claim our serious attention.
1t is certainly Of the greatest consequence
that the Free Democracy be thoroughly organ
ized-that they take an independent and firm
position among the political parties Of the
day-that they not only enter into national
and State organizations hut, when practica-
bic, that every county and township be also
organized. Our first great aim is the over
throw OF Slavery on our own soil, and in It's
stead to firmly plant the tree Of Liberty For
this purpose we should be ever ready to act
to seize upon every instrument calculated to
advance the cause most honorabIy and to the
best advantage and WELD it vigorously in its
behalf Whenever we can accomplish IA
much, or more, for the cause, by independent
action, then by all means let us do so. On the
contrary, when the cause of human freedom
can be best promoted, or deadler blow strick-
en- at Slavery by uniting our efforts with those
Of either of the old parties, then let us pursue
this course. Prejudice nor pride of party,
should interfere with duty in this respect.
But it is urged, that by uniting our efforts
with the old parties to promote the cause,
whenever opportunity offers we shall eyentu-
ally lose our identity and independence If by
so doing our principles triumph, what obiec-
on hnf ,bat
succeed, provided we do succeed Do we seek
to build up particular party under a particu-
lar name, or do we not rather seek the tri-
umph of great principiel But why lose
eithcrt By keeping up an independent organ
zati0n, by laying down our principles distinct
ly and firmly, and laboring by all fair and
honorable means to promote them, whether by
independent action, by coaIescing with Others
or by having others coalescc with w. we shall
preserve an identity, aud establish an indie.
pendence, sanctioned as it will be by disin-
terested love of the cause, that shall chal-
lenge the admiration Of frecmen the world
over. The surost way to confuse and break
up old party lines and draw of their forces,
is to hold ourselves in readiness to act in con-
cert with them, whenever they will give an I'M
equivocal and bold, and not m equivocal and
hesitating, support to free principles
Have we forgotten what wo already owe to
Coalitions Do we forget that Hale, Chase
and Sumner, in the Senate, and other good
men and true in the House, were placed there
by Coalitions know that many of the tru-
est and ablest friends Of Freedom hold Opin-
ions adverse to these; but can only say, the
difference is honest and that | may be in
error. j. w. NEWPORT

through the lowest gaps. Now, II, as nave
supposed, change of weather Is hrst expert
enced in southern ATTITUDES, line OF telegraph
wire, reaching very far to the South, would be
a sure means of foretelling gale on our lakes
near the approach Of winter, and Tor want OF
which, heavy, very heavy damages are sustain
cd. and very many lives lost.
To ascertain correctly all the causes, remote
and immediate which influence the changes OF
the weather and variations of climate IN the
same latitude, would perhaps require the use
of meteorological observations, made on dlfier.
ent parts of the globe, together with the use OF
the thermometer, barometer, and hydrometer'
If telegraph lines were sufficiently extensive,
their causes might be correctly traced up.
Most of the causes referred TO in my theory
appear to me uncertain, having never made use
of the above named instruments or means.
Having stated some of my views IN relation
to winds, shall attempt theory in relation
to climate Ii is said that the climate OF the
Eastern continent generally and that OF the
Pacific coast of the Western, is much mider
than that portion of North America lying east
of the Rocky Mountains in the same latitude.
This appears to me entirely in accordance with
reason; and | am led to the conclusion that
that portion of North America situated east of
the Rocky Mountains is the most subject to
sudden and extreme changes of any part of the
globe and the Mississippi valley more parllcu-
larry so.
Now for the theory in support of my concu-
sons
The arctic winds, on their way to the tropics,
are confined to comparatively narrow space,
having the advantage of an outlet to the sea
only on one side of the continent. 1t follows,
that if storms are frequent and condensation
excessive in the tropical regions, great drain
will be made on the atmosphere in tbs polar
regions, which, like water, will flow with the
greatest force and velocity through the deepest
channel, which, beyond doubt is the valley of
the Mississippi. Now, as it is natural law
that two bodies cannot occupy the same space
at the same time, so also suppose it equally
clear that one bOny cannot occupy two spaces
at the same time consequently, if the polar Is
drained to the tropics on this side of the globe,
it will not be left to flow over the continent on
the other side of the same and whilst we
would experience severe weather, they OF the
other side of the globe would experience COM
paratvely mild weather, and vice versa. The
extent Of country over which the polar atmo-
sphere is free to spread, and consequent supe-
rior opportunity to absorb caloric from tho sur
face of the ground, on its way to the tropics on
the other side of the globe must in a great
measure prevent the sudden and extreme
changes which we 80 frequently experience,
and afford much milder climate in the same
latitude.
