From the Baltimore Republican
THE TERMS OF THE COALITION

We have, on various occasions, called
attention to the significant and startling
fact, that the sclf-styled American par
ty Of Maryland aud the South generally,
were urging coalition with the Adolf
tionsts to break down the Democracy.
We have shown beyond dispute that the
coming struggle for the Presidency would
be between the Democratic party and the
Abolitlonists In further confirmation
of these opinions, we ask attention to the
following extract from recent speech
Of Mr.. Greedy. in which the views of
the Aboitionists and their determination
as TO the Presidential contest, are plain.
ly and unequivocally avowed. Says Mr..
Greeley:
"But what Of the union Of the Oppo-
sitionl | am asked, shall we refuse TO
unite on equal terms with other opp
nents Of the National Democracy TO drigc
that foul party from power? Most cer-
tainiy, we will unite as proposed; am
most willing and even anxious 10 do 90.
But if there is to be such union, il
must be an alliance; into n jumble--nos
a melting Of existing parties to form an
entirely new and distinct party. yFtAore
is 10 he uaion, tie Republicans miH go
into II as RepuLiicaas--aot dsl'ing PR

nearly every free State Of this Confed

miics N 8,prcDdcr name NJ theirs mt IN
coaRict pH his. If we concedc cand.
dates, we DO not thereby abandon ou
principles, but do our best to adyanc,
them.
For instance, l. as one Republican,
speaking for myself and disclaiming any
authority TO speak for others, should be
entirely willing to sec the Opposition
candidate for President chosen from the
ranks Of the other wing, proridcd it
should be distinctly understood that the
power thus conferred mainly by the Re-
publican votes would be welded not 10
defeat but TO secure the cardinal ohjects (
Of our movement, our organization. III
this il refused, then no union, sa,c on a
for President, is possible -
The party will speak for itself, at the |
proper time, and through its chosen del |
ogatos butt shall be willing and ready |

THE HEART.


The hcart-the heart oh, let 1t be
a true and beautcous thing;
As kindly warm, as nobly free,
AS eagles nesting wing.
Oh keep il not like miser's gold,
Shut in from all beside;
But let its precious stores unfold
In mercy far and wide.
The hcart--the heart that's truly blcst
Is never all its own;
No ray Of glory lights the breast
That beats for self alone.
The heart-the heart oh, let it spare
4 sigh for others pain
The breath that soothcs brothers care
Is never spent in vain.
And though it throbs at gentlest touch,
Or sorrows ftintest CALL
'Twerc better il should ache too much
Than never ache at all.
The heart-the heart that's truly blcst
Is never all its own;
No ray ofglory lights the breast
That beats for self alone.

Mr.. De Choseul, Deputy Supcrintcn-
dent of the Elections, whilst engaged in
the performance of his duties in the
Second Precinct, and demonstrating
against the destruction Of the tickets of
the Independents, was struck violently
in the face with brass knucklcs, bv n
man named McMickie, and knocked
down
Mr.. Byrne, also an officer of the same
department., was struck, and various
other citizens similarly treated. Sevcra!
OF the perpetrators of these outragcs
were arrested and committed to Jail, but
were quickly released by Recorder Sum
mers Some Of these committals were
made by the Mayor, who did not seem
to be at all disturbed hy the release of
the parties by an inferior official. On
the whole for the details arc too sick
ehing and revolving to be dwclt upon at
greater lcngth-the very worst scenes
of the five past years reign of this party
of violence, outrage, corruption and
blackguardism were yesterday repeated.
The broadcloth hypocrites and sleek
officials, many of them claiming to be of
respectable social positions, who are
fattcning on the ''spoils" of the corpora
ton, stood in the background, melting
and urging on their hired bravos-less
guilty and detostable than themselves.
by such means as these the vote of
the city was reduced from fourteen
thousand to the miserable figure which
the results elsewhere exhibit, These
will show that three-fourths Of the citi-
zens are disfranchiscd- the Thug
vote alone does not reach fourth of
the legal vote
1t is now demonstrated that no legal
election can be held in this city. The
several attempts for the last five or six
years by the Democratic party, by the
Vigilance organization of last year and
now by the Independents, have all re-
suited alike in the same disgraccful dis
franchiscmont of the great body Of the
citizens, and the triumph of few I'M
princlpled place men, operating by as
ohHhHo, VI avs dnh IuuldllS, luIncu IODHt
from the jails and warehouses; to outrage
the'quet citizens and disgrace the city
and State. 1t is proved, too, that there
are no prisons that can hold the perpe-
traitors of these docds-no courts that
will punish them--in truth, that the
city, with its population of one hun
bred and fifty thousand persons. lies
PROSTATE at the mercy of cut-throats,
b....,s- I.nushlors, and rufflans of ero,;J, J
class, in the employ Of reckless dema-
gogucs and Office holders, who are en-
-iching themselves out of the revenues
If the corporation, extracted from the |
abor and property of the people. De
Drived of their political and personal
lights, attacked in the most sacred ofall
he immunitics which government is cs-
ablshed TO secure, it remains to be seen
row long this people will be able to pre-
'crve what is left to them of that which
hey 50 absurdly call A" freedom"

tiful reply is recorded of Dalmatian
peasant, whose master was displaying
to him the grandeur Of bis estate Farms,
houses and forests were pointed out in
succession on every hand, as the proper
ty Of the rich proprietor, who summed up
finally BY saying: "In short, oil that
you see in every direction belongs to me 4"
The poor man looked thoughtfully for a
moment, then pointing up to Heaven,
so'omnly replied, And is THAT also

And is not this a question that may
be addressed TO every one who is re-

who, as he looks around him secs the
mcrcios that have poured into bis lap
may he not be askod-Is heaven also

The death of little child is to the
mothers heart like dew on plant from
which bud has persisted. The plants
lift up in freshened grecnncss to the
morning light, so the mothers soul gath
ers from the dark sorrow through which
she had passed, fresh Frightening Of
her heavenly hopes. AS she bends over
the empty cradle, and in fancy brings the
sweet infant before her, a ray of divine
light is on the chcrub's face 1t is her
son STILL but with the seal of Immortality
on his brow She feels that heaven was
the only atmosphere where her precious
flower could unfold without spot or blcm-

But the anniversary of its departure
seems to bring its spiritual presence near
her. She INDUCES in that tender G i
