Franklin fjefEe and the Coalition.

The doctrines and the successes of the pres
ent combination of isms do not excite much JOY
in any quarter The New York Herald is one
of the few who any cause for congra tulation
in present political prospects. This was to be
expected. The Herald, like many others, is
|-a-.sAeA ~l's-aaAti} i}aathaz- 1t foruets that in
rejoicing over the victories of a coalition of in
tolerance and abolition, it is in good degree
rejoicing over its own professions. 1t only sees
that these victories may prove to be an annoy
ance to President Pierce. 1t is blind to all
other antcipations save that which may prove
calanitons to the general administration. The
spectacle of corrupt and riotous fanaticsm, so
alarming to all true friends of the Union, and
the fearful fact of the people of the Southern
States arousing and arlning themselves for a
war of sections, receives little of the attention
of the Herald, eNcites no interest in its BOSOM
so long there is Il chance of heaping diff
culties upon President Pierce.
We almost thank that journal, however, for
this frank disclosure ct its policy. 1t gives
an opportunity to speak that have earnestly
desired. President Pierce and his administers
ton will meet any new crisis without fnching
which present affairs may precipitate upon the
| country. Happy for the country will it prove
| that at a period in our history more pregnant
of evil than any other which it has seen in fifty
years. Franklin Pierce is at the helm. Faction
and fanaticisln may rule the hour in certain
States but while we have him for Chief Magis-
/
hellish purposes. Even those WHO have aided
to build up the coalition of intolerance and of
prescription will ut last thank him for his manly
resistance Of their doctrines. There is not an
intelligent in either the North the South
who will not admit that the aspects of the fu-
ture forbode great perils to our beloved country.
| Never before has aboltion!sm assumed a holder
or more reasonable tone. Never have revolt
ing and revolutionary doctrines been more
arrogantly defended, and never have the notori
/ Gus enemies of the constitution been more con
fdent of success. In such an exigency this
how long would that barrier against tyrann,
resist the encroachmcnts of abolitionism, if sucl
a man Franklin Pierce were not President
of the United States? Take any one Of tn.
f;,vorites of the coalition which the
Herald rejoices, and put him into that higl
office, and the demands Of that monstrous or
ganization would be consummated. The fla
grant avowal that no more States shall be ad
mitted into the Union with slavery ,ogniset
in their constitutions, solemnly made by th'
: whig party of fifteen sixteen States of thi
Union and claimed to he sustained bv recen
, results, would be carried into effect if ther
5 were not such men Franklin Pierce to sa
'thus far shalt thou go, and no further-her
shall thy proud waves be stayed. The momen
this monstrous proposition is carried into effcc
: the worst fears of the patriot will he realized
Washington Union.
