The Coalition in Mass.
The Democrats of Middlesex county, Massachusetts, have placed upon their ticket for state Senators three undisguised and inveterate Abolitionists, who were never known as Democrats at any time in their political history, and who now do not pretend to belong to the party which has honored them with its patronage. The Whigs of Massachusetts never made any such bargain whatever. We have Democratic authority for saying that the example of Middlesex will be followed in every county of the State, so that in Massachusetts, Abolitionism and Democracy are one and the same thing. Let this be noted by our Southern friends, for its evidences will be before them throughout the whole political canvass preceding our November election. The men who pretend to be National Democrats in Massachusetts are mighty in words, but in deeds they are nothing at all. We do not believe that they could raise a corporal's guard in any county of the State, with stamina enough to come out from the bargain with the Abolitionists, and form a straight Democratic ticket.-Boston Cour.
