The New CoaIition--Terms Of the


The old republican sideboard is to receive q
coat Of veneering TO be composed ofequAl parts
Of decayed democracy aud native American
punk. The latter, it it itsupposyd, will take the
place Of the dark lantern, while the former may
be relied on, on account Of its oily properties
to give luster and finish to the new job. Mr..
Horace Greeley is the patentee of this combina-
ton. He has put in his cavsat, and published
it to the world in that republican book OF Nor
mon, the New York Tribune
Thus, we are to have a new and highly char
acteriStic piece ofcabinet work for the great ex
hibltion Of 1850. lt is to be Of Mosaic pattern
and stylc-tesSellated-a bit of white stone
here and a bit of black stone there, as Burke
says--a conglomerate composed mainly of ne
groism, judiciously covered on the under side
with counterfeit democracy. 1t is to be con-
structed after the fashion Of the Washington
monument, Of dissimar blocks, to be carefully
marked and variously contributed, so that when
the partnership is done, each independent pro-
prietor will be able to withdraw his share with
out impairing the main body; which is to revert
and be the exclusive property of MIR. Horace
Greeley, Gnd his colored associates. We have
these patrouizing words Of Mr.. Greeley in sup
port Of this theory:
"0n the contrary, it seems to US the plain
duty of every republican, to regard and treat
as brothers all who stand with in opposition to
the Locompton fraud-to invite th0m TO our
councils and our confidence, while cheeriully
asserting to their prosecution of the common
enterprise under their own banners and in their
own Gshion-to act freely and faithfully in ac-
c0rdance with our own convictions, and accord
to them the utmost liberty to do likewise"
That the contract has been signed, sealed
and delivered, the veneering process under full
way the wood put TO soai; and steam, is appar-
ent from this further proclamation of the same
chieftain:
"To us the path Of duty is plain. Hoaceforth,
to the end Of this struggle we know all who re-
sist the imposition of the Lecompton fraud on
Kansas AS BRETHREN, while we regard those
who uphold that fraud as deadly enemies, not
merely to Kansas and the republican party, but
TO the principles of American independence
the inalienable rights Of man. Politically, the
champions of that fraud are our enemies: its op'
ponents, so far as they are willing to be so, are
OUR FRIENDS. We Shall urge the re election 0
every Democratic or American member Of Con
gress who resists the lecompton fraud to the bit
ter end, and then declares himself the determi
ned and persistent adversary Of its authors anC
abettors, as demanded alike by fidelity to prin
cipIe and the interests of freedom"
We have had an inklng Of this new Holy
Alliance. The ambassadors have been in fre
Quent consulta tion but their session has been 81
secretly conducted, probably under the light:
alone of the dark lantern, that we have beer
wholly unable to give an intimation oftheir pro
gress. We are now indebted to the Tribune fol
the entire programme, and hasten to call in oui
readers to full view Of the terms.
w are enabled, by the light which is thu
thrust upon US, to explain another fact whicI
has been puzzle to all honest men. We allude
of course to the persistent efforts on the par
| OF a little corporal's guard Of democrats, t
create the impression that they have been ruth
! lesSly driven out Of the democratic parity
Raining at full speed and crying thief! thief
we find them now, with all the stolen goods
quietly esconced awayIn the republican barracks
| 1t Is maxim Of democracy not to arrest trai
tors-relying upon the good rule, that thos
who ran away in time Of war, require too mucl
to feed him in time of peace.
! If VS. have any right to look to histoli;a
parallels, and to draw lessons therolrom, that o
| the ''Patriot Arnold" furnishes no very brililn
promise to those who now desert their colors
and go over to the enemy. The least we have
right to claim, at all events, is that the deSer
ters shall not Put in the plea that an edict 0
accommodation has been issued against them
We refer this whole subject to General Jane
Watson Webb, who must have a distinct recol
lection Of the events of Gen. Jackscns time
and full appreciation of the doctrine compcn
sation in politics. If we recolect Alright, Gen
Webb's paper furnishes, too, abundant dcclala
tons Of his pure democracy, and, it is quite pos
sible several solemn protests against being eiec
ted from the democratic family.
