THE NEW COALITION.


There can no longer be any doubt that
certain leading politicians have ON foot a
scheme for the organization of new .polit-
zeal party preparatory to the Presidential
contest OF 1860! Several Of the opposition
journals, have from time to time let fall
vague hints that such was the case (; a Re.
publican niember Indicated it, pretty clear
~ In q speechin the House a few weeks
since; and the Times and Tribune. embold-
GSncd, no doubt, bySwhat they professto be-
llevo Is an irrcparablc' breach in tho Demo-
cratic party, have openly advocated il in
their columns In alludipg briefly to some
OF these evidences diffusion few days since
we stated that the new Organization would
be composed of the entire Black Renublis
can party, few Southern Know Nothinqs,,
and the disaffeeted Democrats. Its leadinC
spirits and managersain-chief will be Messrs.
Seward, Douglas and Crittendon and
though the platform uponwhich the differ.
cnt elements that are to compose the fusion
VIII unite and so before the country, is not
yet definitely agreed upon, a pretty correct
idea may be formed ofwhatits complexion
will be from the political characters ofthosc
who are to have most to do in framing it.
Mr' seward considers the Presidency. and
Congress as already secured by reason of
the preponderance of the free States ,and
regarding the Supreme Court. as he no
uouDU u6es, as the only obstacle to the full
accomplishment of his purposes, he will in
sist upon the remodcling of that institution
as his strong plank in tho new platform
Judge Douglas will be satisfied with a re.
eognition of the doctrine of popular soyere
eighty, as. he now interprcts it; and Mr..
Crlttendcn will content himself with some
slight modification of the naturalization
laws. Upon this, or a Somewhat similar
platform, the new organization will be fran,
ed, and gointo the ctnrvass of 1860, no
defeat the Democratic'party and get pos.
session of the government, it will. make
hcrco and desperate struggle, That its
success would result ina breaking down of
the constitution and an early disruption of
the copfederacy, there can scarcely be
doubt The leading idea upon which it
would administer the government and the
sectional character of those whom 1t would
place in power, would override the political
rights of the minority section, and leave it
witho'tthe power to enforce it's equality
or rindepeudence within the ITnion

The Detroit Free Press very pointsdy says that
in the newspaper discussions of the question Of the
right Of search growing out Of the recent operations
in the Gulf, the only prominent journals which
have advocated the search doctrine are American.
The leading English Journals have all taken the
other side Of the controversy. And the British 60
Vernment has adopted the views Of the London
Times instead Of those Of the New York Trj5uHe-in
this respect acting upon the advice Of the officers
Of the Grown, that the right of search does not
exist in time Of peace. The New York Tribune,
the New York EUsaiRg Post the Louisville Journal.
the Albany Journal the Philadelphia North Amsri-
can, and the other Black Republican sheets which
have asserted and supported the right, have thus
prOhered services which are not appreciated in
England. They have out-Britished the British
They have invited aggression upon American com
merce which English public opinion says is unlawful
and wrong, and for INDUCING in which on the late
occasions, English naval officers will be called home
and punished 1t is pity that the labors Of those
WOuld-be British organs should be thrown away
We think that il should be least acknowledged by
the British But it is doubtful whether it will be.
No such services having been engaged-it having
been voluntary-thereis no disposition to reoujte it
in any way.

An American ct Paris went TO a restaurant
to get his dinner Unscqusinted with the French
language, yet unwilling to show his ignorance, he
pointed to the first line the bill Of fare and the
polite waiter brought him plate Of fragrant beef
soup. This was very well, and when it was dis
patched he pointed to the second line. The waiter
understood him perfectly and brought him vegeta.
BILE soup. Rather more soup than want, thought
he, 'but it is Paris fashion He duly pointed to
the third line, and a plate of tapiOca broth was
brought to him; again to the fourth, and was fur
nished with bowl of preparation of arrow root.
He tried the fifth line, and supplied with some
cruel kept for invalids. The bystandeTs now sup
posed that they saw an unfortunate individual who
had lost all his teenh and our friend determined to
get as far from the soup as possible, pointed in
despair to the last line on the bill of fare. The
intelligent waiter, who saw at once what he wanted
politely handed him-a bunch Of tooth picks. This
was too much, our cOuDtryman paid his bill and

ESg- Some days since we noticed decision Of
the Marion (Ind.) Circuit Court with reference to
the right of banks to redeem their issues of FIVE
dollars and under one at any time, in new silver
coin. correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
sends the following statement, prepared by one of
the attorneys in the suit, which gives clear view
of the case:
sThe Indiana Bank, ct Madison, refused to re-
deem package of her five dollar notes, except in
the silver coin issued by virtue Of the act Of
1858. The party making the demand refused to re-
ceive such coin beyond the sum Of five dollars upon
the whole package, and had the notes protested aud
filed with the Auditor, to cover redemption. The
bank applied to the Marion Circuit Court Of lndi-
ana for injunction. The question arose upon
the ID section of the act of Congress, which pro-
vides that such coin 'shsll be legal tender in pay
ment of debts for all sums not exceeding five dol
lars" The bank commended that each note was
separate and independent debt, and that conse-
quenty the right of the bank was to redeem a sim
gle bill at time in this new silver coin. Judge
Major, however, refused to grant an injunction,
holding that the redemption must be Of the whole
package, and in gold, or in the old silver coin.
This decision seems to give general satisfaction, and
has received special attention the point has been
debated

Ia The Arkansas papers contain an exposition
Of an impostor who has been hOurishing for the
past four years in Helena under the name of Rev.
VIM. H Walton. About two years ago he was Or
dained deacon by Bishop Ksvansugh and appoint
cd a preacher in the Helena district. A few weeks
since Mr.. Maddox, Of Bayou Sara, La visited
Helene, and recognized Walton as q tailor who
had formerly lived in Bayou Sara, where he was
known by the name of Jackson. He had married a
widow in that place. and after living with her about
a year, took $500 and gold watch belonging to
her, and left for parts unknown. She and her
children were reduced to destitute condition. At
Helena he married again. Maddox exposed him,
but before he could be arrested, he made good his
escape.

SUMNER FRIENDs.-Like leaves touched by q
frost, the Republican friends of Douglas fall
from his support Even his unfortunate bid for
his strength from that quarter, by taking excep
tons to the bred Scott decision, is not needed or
listened to- The Tribune in an elaborate review
of the Senator's late speech at Chicago, closes as
follows:
We deeply regret that Mr.. TougIas has it
TO plant himself on the qucksands Of ''Squatter
sovereignty after they had been robbed of the
semblanoC Of secure footing by the bred Scott de-

unless his opponents shall be so unwise as to de-
grade the contest from the high ground of principle
into the mire Of personality. His sVowed principle

Loses by Banks.
From The Nashville Patriot.


The Memphis AUelaHche appears to regard the
Citizens Bank as broke and asks "What is to become
of the bill holders {" Of course they are to be the
losers they have received the notes as money and
can hord it as long as they choose now without sp-
prehensions, as to depreciation By this time they
ought to be sufficiently accustomed to being 'done"
in this way, and stocs enough to bear the Inction
without grosn. Have they not, within few years
past been left with the bag to hold by the
Central Bank of Nashville,
Agricultural Bank, of Brownsville,
Bank of East Tennessee,
Exchange Bank,
besides being compelled to lose heavily upon the
deprecated paper of the banks Of Claiborne Jefer-
son, cambridge, Trenton, &C. Surely by this time
bilI-holders ought to be able to stand almost any
infiction bank men may choose to visit upon them
The losses which these repeated failures cause TO
the honest masses who receive bank notes, in pay
ment of debts, and in exchange for merchandise,
produce, &c, and the evils arising from the peeu
iarities Of banking in Tennessee; call loudly for
relief. We agree with our democratic contemporaries
that something must be done, and that as speedily
as possible. Whilst we cannot 90 with them for an
exclusively metallic currency ready for other
reforms, which shall make banking more reputable
and deprive it of its power to injure the people.
