.t.I Coslious.
The Democracy Of Massachusetts, have coalesc, d
with the Frcesolers notwithstanding the inSincere
l,tter of Caleb Gushing. In the recent election OF
u. S. Senator by the Legislature Of Vermont, the
Democracy coalesccd with the Freesoilcrs, and Sc
cured the election Of Kellogg, Democrat, over Col
lamer, Wing.
IL has been usual for the De nocratic journals es-
pecially those of the 'conscient US sort to bclabor

But this is only partial view of this great pro,ap
