THE NEW COALITION TERMS OF THE ALIa-

THE NEW COALITION TERMS OF THE ALLI-
= a ANCE
The old republican side board is receive acoat OF
yeneering TO be composed Of equal parts OF decayed
democracy and native American punk. The latter, II
issupposed will take the place of the dark lanerp
while the former may be relied upon on account OF
its oily properties to give Iuse and hnish to the
hew job. Mr. Horace Greeley is the Patentee OF thus
combination He has put in his caveat and pub
ished il to all the world in that republican book OF
Mormon, the New York Tribune.
Tins we are 10 have new and highly character
;ste niece of political for the great
bib;tiou of 1860 II is to be Of mosaic pattern and
stvle--tessellated Ia bit of white stone here and
bit of black stone there, Burke ssys-a coDglom-
crate composed mainly of negrosm judiciously
covered ON the under side by natiyeism, and Oh the
upper side with counterfeit democracy. 1t is to be
constructed after the fashion of the Washington mon
ument ofdissmilar blocks to be carefully markedand
yariously contributed, that when the partnership
ends, each independent proprietor will be able
TO withdraw his share without imparing the
main body, which is to revert and be the ex-
elusive property of Mr.. Horace Greeley and his
coored associates We have these patronzing
words Of Mr. Greeley in support of this theory
- On the contrary it seems to the plain duty of
pubcans regard and treat as brothers all who stand
with rs In opposition to the Lecompton frnudto invite
them to o,tr councils and confidence while cheeruiiy
ssentg 10 their prosecution OF their share in the com
mon enterprise under their banners and in their own
aslon-to act freely and faithfully in accordance with
our own CONVICTIONS and accord to them the utmost lib
erty In doing likewise

iivefed, the vcneering process under full way and
the wood pit to soak and steairi is apparent from
this further proclamation of the same chieftain;
aTo us the path Of duty is plain Hcnceforth to the
end of this struggle know all who resist the imposi
ton of the Lccompton fraud Kansas brethren, while
we regard those who uphold that fraud deadly ene
mics not merely Kansas and to the republican party
but to the principles Of American independence the ina
Menable rights Of man. Politically the champions OF
that fraud enemies its opponents far they
are willing to be so friends We shall urge the
reelection Of every democratic American member of
Congress who rests ths Leeompon fraud to the bitter
eud and then declares himself the determined and per-
sten adversary Of It's authors and abetors demand
ed alike by fidelity to principle and to the interests of
fetdoh
We have had an nlsling Of this new Holy Alliance.
The ambassadors have been in frequent consuta-
ton, but their sessions have been secretly con-
lantern, that we have been wholly unable to give an
intimation Of their progress We are now indebted
to The Tribune for the entire programme, and has
ten TO call in our readers to full view of the
terms.
We are enabled, by the light which is thus thrust
upon u.s. to explain another fact which has been
puzzle to all honest We allnde, of course, to
tho persistent efforts the part of little corporals
guard of democrats, to create the impression that
they have been rublessly driven out of the demo-
cratic party Running at full speed and crying theft
thief! we find them now, with all the stolen goods,
1t is a maxim of democracy not to arrest traitors
relying upon the good rule, that those who away
in time of war; require too much to feed them in time
of peace.
If we have any right to look to historical paral-
les and to draw lessons therefrom, that of the Pa
trot Arnold furnishes no very brilliant promise to
those who now desert their colors and go tho
enemy. The least have right to claim, at all
events is that the descrters shall not put in the plea
that an edict of accommodation issued against
them. We refer this whole subject to Gen. james
Watson Webb, who must have distinct recollec-
appreciation of the doctrine ef compensations in
politics. If we recollect Alright, Gen. Wcbb's paper
furnishes, too abundant declarations Of his pure de-
mocracy and it is quite possible several solemn pro-
tests against being elected from the democratic
family.
