TIE BLACK REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC Co
ALrrioN IN NEW YoRk-SoMETaING FOR THE
SOUTH TO LOOK AT.-Our readers are aware. that
for more than two weeks, there was a contest for
the speakership in the Legislature of New York.
There were In that body, In the House of
Representatives at Washington, three conflicting
parties the Americans the Black Republicans,
and the Democrats At last the Black Repub-
licans and the Democrats united and made
partition of the spoiis between them. the Demo-
Gratis taking the speakership and the Black Re-
publicans the rest OF the Offices in the organza-
ton of the Assembly. All the Democratic or
gans and all the Black Republican organs Of the
State applaud the coalition and the partition. The
New York Tribune and the Albany Evening Jour
nal are delighted in behalf of the Black Republi-
cans. and the Albany Argus and the Buffalo Re-
public 10 less in behalf OF the Democrats.
Let the whole nation look at this transaction.
If the coalition had been between the Black Re-
publicans and the Know Notbings, and ifthe par
tition of spoils had been between them, the en-
tire country would no be resounding with the
loudest and most furious Goco.oco denunciations
But the alliance was between the Abolition
;s.s and the Democrats and every Democratic
tongue is mute except in the expression OF delight
This alliance is perfectly natural 1t is in
keeping with the political history oil the last few
yeaIs. Ii is but re-enactment OF what occur
red in the Massachusetts Legislature when the
Abolitionists and the Democrats coalesced there,
the Democrats aiding 10 elect Chas. Sumner to
the u S. Senate, md the AboItlonists helping to
bestow upon the Democrats tie other offices in
the gift OF the Legislature. 1t is but re-enact-
n.eut of what occurred in the Ohio Legislature
when the Abolitionists and the Democrats coales-
ced there. the Democrats assisting TO elect S. p.
Chase to the U. S. Senate, and the Abolitionsts
conccdng to the Democrats all the other offices
that the Legislature was to fill. 1t was but the
re-enactment OF what occurs yearly in Rhode Is
land where the Abolitionis:s and the Democrats
always fight side by side for victory, and, when
successful, share the plunder together
Let it be particularly remarked ard remem-
bered that the Hard and Soft Democrats alike
of the New York Legislature went into this CO.
aIition and partition business with the Abolition
lists Yes. even the New York Hards, who have
been regarded by thousands of Southern Demo-
Gratis a, the very model Democracy of the n orth,
entered into this foul and miserable coalition this
infamous bargain and corruption, with the New
York Black Republicans. There is doubt that
the New York Democracy. especially the New
York Hard Democracy, Is as sound and Writ uons
and reliable upon the slavery question as the
Democracy of any State OF all the North, and
therefore this vile New York coalition may safely
be considered by the Southern people conclusiv e
evidence that the whole Northern Democracy
will make bargains with Abolitionists whenever
thew can hope thereby to fill their own pockets
with pIunder We have told the Southern people
thousand times that there can be no safe reli-
ance for them upon any existing party except the
American party and they will see from month to
month and from year to year conclusive evidence
OF the truth of our assurances.
