TIE NEW COALlTl0N.
Black spirits and white,
Red spirits and gray,

Experence has shown that political parties
nnabIe 10 stand on their own bottom, can never
accomplish the ends al which they aim. The
..fusion" movement Of the odice-hnnIiog Abo-
Hionists and Know-Notbngs, IN 1889, ended in
the disgraceloD defeat ol 10th parties. In 1896
the alasion2 trick was again tried by the oP-
pos,tion. but again resulted in disaster to the
candidates for whose benefit il was intended.
In 1857, the glorious Democracy Of The Key
stone State, gave the coup de grace to that mon
slrous political abortion, The "union Ticket
scheme, routing the Aboition-know- Moth
ing forces, s.borse, foe! and dragons" Not
withstandiug tais sad experience. however, our
onnoneDts seem determined once more 10 try the
ofl-defeated >Union" plan, ,.hoping that this time
they will be able 10 draw upon Their variega-
ted platform, some who in former contests
fought under the flag Of Democracy. They
are sanguine of recruits from the great Demo
cratic armY-they hope to array under their
black flag deserters from our ranks; they eX-
pect 10 swell their number with men who be-
come traitors to the Democracy be-
cause their greedy ambition cannot be satisfied
in pure party; because they are wLite-liger-
ed wretehes that trembe before the harmless
ghost Of sectional issue; or, perhaFs, because
they have been led astray, into the Dismal
Swamp Of AboItionism, by that everlasting
Will O the WisP, Bleeding Kansas. But This
new coalition can never become formidable
enough 10 do battle with The Democratic party,
with any chance of success, The basis on
which it is 10 be built up is the rotten Kansas
question. It is 10 ignore every other subject on
the political fapis. Il is TO BIZ ring-strcakcd,
speckled and spotted party and is to stand on a
platform thin as gaoze, the only article in its
creed being single abstraction, which is likely 10
vanish any minute and to pass out Of sight as
noiselessly as thistedown on quiet autumn
day. But, we say, let the movement take place.
We are anxious to see it go forward. We are
particularly desirons that those men who stab
US in the guise Of friendship, shall make their
exodus from our ranks. Nothing could giye
scfIff5 gFftleIIIen VITO are aIWays ready TO de-
eide against Democracy in the hour Of trial,
lease the party at once and forever. We are
anxious that this projected coalition shall be
carried into effect, also, because the incongru-
Gus elements which it win bring fogether can
never be couCordant anougbto withstand the
charge Of the Democratic column, which, when
our wolves in Sleeps cIolbiag shall be landed
ia The opposition camp, wiIi be directed against
il in solid and irresistible PIalanx. So, wesay,
let them coalesce. Lettbe 'lion and the lamb
lie down together" and ever 50 many }fi1e dogs
'.lead them" The Democratic party, staodin-
on The eternal platform of Right, with lis bat
tie cry, "THE GREATEST GOOD TO TIE GREAT
Esr NUMBER" isIeady to do battle with anv
enemy, be be new, or old.

0wite Natural,

The Black Republican newspapers are in
agonies Of indignation, at the endorsement of
the administration, by the recent Democrat jc
Convention, II seems quite impossible TO please
these factious gentlemen, and indeed no honest
Democrat expects to Do it. They must have
srtionaIisms or nothing. Their ends and aims are
not national, and hence they cannot BE- expect
ed to do anything which is Democratic. However
as Ioots would say ''its Of no consequence. p

THE OUTRAGE on MssioNARrEs.-T The cor
respondent Of the London Times, writing from
Alexandra Egypt, on The 9th of February,
says:
The United States corvette, Constellation.
after sojourn here of about ten days, has TAX
en- her departure tor Messina. It was at one
time thought that She would FIRST steer for the
coast of Syria. in order TO give the support ,ef
her presence to the American Consul General,
who left for Jada few days ago for the pur-
pose OF making an investigation into the cir
cumsances attending an outrage of most ruff
aniy nature, of which an American missionary
stat Toned at Jafa, and his family, have lately
been the victims, ard the particulars of which
have already been published.
The atrocity has been ascrbed TO an outbreak
OF Mahomedan fanatics, but it seems as like
ly that 1t was merely an aggravated case of bur
gIary, and Mr.. De Leon, the United States Con-
sui, Will, no doubt, find the Turkish authorities
fully disposed to second him in his efforts 10
trace out the authors of the crime, without The
necessity of the threat that would be implied bv
the presence of ship of war.

A S3nLE INSTRUMENT OF FToRrrRE.-Have our lad,,
readers ever reflected upon the fact that so small an
instrument as sewing needle has destroyed more
lives, and caused more suffering, than the sword.
It IS true, however, as the mortality among seam
stresses every where attests, and only wonder is
that parents will permit their daughters TO grow m
slaves to the needle, while the GRoyRR 4 BAKgR
Sewing Machines will do better and more beaatifu
sewing than can be done BY hand The time is com.

The ORIGIN OF CoAL.-There are two or
three points, and those of much theoretical i'm
Poriance, respectingth The origin of coal, on which
geological authorities are nearly UNANIMOUS.
The one is, vegetable origin, formed apparently
from the destruction OF east forests, and the
Prodgious quantities Of timber driited BY some
OF the great rivers of the world into the present
ocean, renders ii not improbable that similar
formation may now be going on in the
depths OF certain parts of the sea. In addition
to this, it appears probable, from the nature of
the preserved vegetables, that the climate Of
the English coal-region was not merely tropical
but ultra tropical. 1t is also a point of scipnti-
6c inference that the coal strata were deposited
in the neighborhood, and often probably upon
the verge, OF extensive tracts of drv land-6r
the trees that are found in coal strata are often
like those of the British submarine forests. 50
far as position goes. The deposits Of coal also
appear afterwards to have been elevated, and
often disIocated and distorted by forces aclinr
from below, aud which are thought to have been
of volcanic nature

u Ehe Democracy Of Illinois, who we're
neatly all with Douglas some months ago, are
rapidly deserting him. A short time since
there was bui one paper in the State in favor
Of the Administration now majority of the
Democratic papers Published there support ii.
As they wheel into RANKS, the Douglas papers
furlously denouncr them, but il has no effect
The popular cry ofthose Democratic deserters
against their contemporaries as they return TO
the support Of the Administration is, 'sthat they
are bought" We dislike to impute unworthy
motives to any one, but when we see such
charge made under such circumstances, we can
not doubt that it is made By those whose chief
grlevance is, that they can command no offers.
