three political parties to prepare for the Council
Election day after tomorrow, Wednesday. The
Wings and Natives have declared war against each
other, and have issued letters Of marque, conse-
quenty this election will probably be more spirited
than the State election. The democrats stand by
and look on, not caring straw which whips, being
well satisfied that they take advantage of their
tall out, and elect large majority of the Council
men, whilst if il were not for Nativeism the Wings
could easily carry majority ofthe wards. Native

that it has other cities from the wings, but has

Wednesday, draw back to their field as many OF
their recreant friends as possible and endeavor TO

votes cast for the Native Congressman last Wednes-
day, but SIX were democrats.
