The Black Republican and Democratic
Coalition in New York-Somethine
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 o. New
York. There were in that body, as in the
House of Representatives at Washington,
three conflicting parties, the Americans, the
Black Republicans, and the Democrats.-
At last the Black Republicans and the Dem
ocrats united and made partition OF tire
spois between them, the democrats taking
the speakership and the Black Republicans
the rest of the offices in the organization of
the Assembly. All the Democratic organs
and all the Black Republican organs of the
State applaud the coalition and the partition.
The New York Tribune 1and the Albany
Evening Journal are delighted in behalf Of
the Black Republicans, and the Albany Ar
gus and the Buffalo Republic no less so in
behalf of the Democrats.
Let the whole nation look at this trans
action. If the coalition had been between
the Black Republicans and the Know Moth
ings, and if the partition of spells had been
between them, the entire country would
now be resounding with the loudest and
most furious Locofoco denunciations. But
the alliance was between the Abolitionists
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 of
the last few years. 1t is but a re.enaot-
ment of what occurred in the Massachusetts
| Legislature when the Abolitionists and the
Democrats coalesced there, the Democrats
aiding to elect Chas. Sumner 10 the U. s.
Senate, and the Abolitionists helping 10 be-
STOW upon the Democrats the other offices
in the gift of the Legislature. 1t is but a
re-enactnent of what occurred in the Ohio
Legislature when the Abolitionists and the
Democrats coalesced there, the Democrats
assisting to elect S. P. Chase to the U. S
Senate and the Aboli,ionists conceding to
the Democrats all the other offices that
the Legislature was TO fill. 1t was but the
re-enacment of what occurs yearly in
Rhode Island, where the Abolitionists and
the Democrats always fight side by side foi
victory,and when successful, share the plum
der together.
Let il be particularly remarked and re-
membered that the Hard and Soft Democra-
cy alike of the New York Legislature went
into this coalition and partition business
with the Abolitionists. Yes, even the New
York Hards, who have been regarded by
thousands of Southern Democrats as the We
ny model Democracy of the North, entered
into this foul and miserable coalition, this
infamous bargain and corruption, with thu
New York Black Republicans. There is M
doubt that the New York Democracy, es.
pecially the New Pork Hard Democracy
is sound and virtuous and reliable upon the
slave, I question as the Democracy Of an,
any State of all the North, and therefore
this vile New York coalition may safely b.
considered by the Southern people conclu
sive evidence that The whole Northern De
mocracry will make bargains with the Abo
I litionist whenever tkey can hope thereby 4
ill their own pockets with plumber. w
have told the Southern people thousant
times that there can be no safe reliance TO
4. them upon any existing party except tn
American party, and they will see from
month 10 month and from year to year con
: elusive evidence of the truth of our assn
rance Lou. Journal.
