That PIT eious paper, The Southern Confederacy,
has the following unkind cat at the Constitutional
Union Psriy:"
"Thsre has another party sprung up with us, com
posed Of fossil Wigs and kno~-A otA,ngs, who have
assumed the title OF the - Union Z Arty" They viii
accomplish mnch good or harm, their principal object
being to obtain possession of the bal ince of power IN
one or States, and then sell out the highest
bdder-and the Demo atic party 10 the most liberal
in s views, it Can count on the accession OF their

"OuR CHARTER ELEcTIos.-The Republicans and
Negroes carried the city yesterday by about GOO ma

Gays:
ITO carry double face during the coming great
struggle between right aud wrong, in opinion,
would be highly criminal; therefore, we were very
glad eel out at the fret opportunity, that No might
have limbs free 10 fight the side of right a. toe
next election; al.o that each party might have
paper TO represent them"
