The Origin Of the business Men's ,Pyayer
Meeting im New York.-As this prayer meeting
constitutes one of the peculiar features of lie
present revival, it is we'll to keep on record the
way IN which. under Providence, it was oripina
ted. As the increase of trade in New York had
driven most of tile churches away from the
lower and business portion Of the CITY, the Dutch
Church. corporation having great wealth, felt
constrained to preserve one Of their old churches
down town, aud to keep it supplied rs q place Of
worship for strangers. and as a seat of Missions
among large population not supplied with re.
lig'ous privileges. Having opened their house
for this purpose, they employed Mr.. I.amphier to
visit the poor and the sick, and the hotels, xaui
explore the field 10 induce people to attend the
church. The Missionary, says the account
wn'ch we have seen. while walking down atown
one day, conceived the thought that an hour OF
prayer could be proftably employed by the busi.
coming in and going out when il was con ven;ent' %
and sIng'ng praying and speaking as the Spirit

THE NEW COALITION.

1t is now confidently asserted That ile Anti.

mon platform in the Presidential contest of ISGn

tion, says:
There can no longer bc any doubt that certain
Leading politicians have oil foot scheme for the
organization Of new political 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 tho case a
Republican member of Congress indicated il
pretty clearly III speech i'll the House n few
weeks since; and the Times aud Tribune. eIn
boldcned. no doubt, 10y what they profess to he.
Iicve is an irrtparabc breach in the Democratic
party, have openly advocated it in their columns.
In aiiadIng briefly 10 some Of these evidences OF
fusion II few days since, we stated that the new
organization would be composrd Of the entire
Black Republican party, n few Southern Know.

though the PLATFORM, upon which the different
elements that ure 10 compose the fusion will unite
and 60 before the country. is not We, definitely
agreed upon, pretty cprrect idea may be form
ed of what It's complexion will be from the no
litical characters of those who are to have most
to do in framing it, Mr.. Seward considers the
Presidency and Congress rs already sccurcd bv
reason Of the pr"ponderance Of the free States ;
and regarding the Supreme Court, as lie no doubt
does, rs the only obstacle to tho full accomplish.
m"nt of his purposes he will Insist upon tho re-
modelling of that institution ne his strong plank
IN the new platform. Judge Douglas will be sat
ished with recognition Of the doctrine OF pop.
u!ar sovereignty, as lc now nterprets it; and
MIR. Crltenden will content himself with some
slight modification Of the naturalization laws
Upon this, or n somewhat similar platform, the
new organization will ho framed, and go into the
canvass of 1850. To defeat the democratic
party and get possession Of the government. it
will make fierce and desperate struggle Thut
Its success would result in breaking down Of
the constitution and an early disruption of the
coniedercy, there can scarcely be doubt. The
leading idea upon which il would admin ster the
government. and the sectional character of those
whom it would place in power, would override
the political rights Of the minority section, aud
leave it without the power to enforce it's equality
or independence within The Union.
