The BosToN Posi-, speaking Of the munich
pal elections in Boston, Charlestown, and
Worcester, says that mo stone that partisan
ship could leave unturned was omitted by an
INSCRIPTIONS opposition. This was mainly OF
an abolition sort, so AS TO bring up in solid
phalanx the abolition vote. To this new par
tisan opposition were added a bitterness Of
personality, and pervesion Of fact well nigh
unparalleled. Such an opposition was success
ful in Worcester" &c. The application ot TINS
style OF criticism to the election in this city Is
purely absurd. With the great majority ot
citizens the question OF politics did not have
a feathers weight. And it would not have
been possible for such consideration to have
entered into the election at all, if the unfortun-
ate incidents Of the first caucus had not rem
dered the movement in favor Of MIR. Al
drch unavoidable. On this subject, the
Boston Post has not been correctly post
ed. 1t is still farther wrong in its assumption
that unusual personalities had any prominent
part in the election. Never within our remem-
brance has there been a closely contested local
election when the respect and consideration
for the opposing candidates personally was
more marked and universal. However ami
mated the contest may have been it was
topic OF common remark that there was shown
so little of that spirit of personal abuse and
detraction which sometimes prevails, and
which the Post, in the absence OF information,
attempts to unjusty Iasten upon the majority
of our citizens. 1t has mistaken the issue and
character of the election altogether.

Whas Thsy Have Done.

The chivalrio "gentlemen'' who have mu-
tinted against the Union and the Constisu-
siioD because they cannot bear to be on an
equality with s'mudsills," have been now six
months under arms and preparing for their
bossted military subj0gation OF tho nation.
In these six months, besides great deal OF
Dragging and some lynching Of defenceless
men and women, they have accomplished the
following things: Seven thousand Of them,
after months Of preparation, fred on our
flg, and after immense efforts succeeded in
dislodging seventy mon from Fort Sumter.--
They have poisoned two United States SOL
diers. They have stabbed one ia the night.
They have succeeded 10 placing one reg Of
powder under one Of the national buildings.
They have made an unsuccessful attempt TO
poison regiment Of United States troops.

The Tribune u Tuesday says the money
market was still in perfect tumble. For
the short list exchange was sold at to IN,
for the long list SO was paid, for coin per
cent.
There was large meeting on Monday,
representing the Merchants, Banks, Lumber
men. Railroads, &c. After many speeches,
the majority agreed to take as currency the

those taken here, and the following in addi-
ton:

Chicago Bank.
City Bark Of Ottowa.

The Tribune seems TO be doubtful whether
