UniOnisnl In Raleigh.

We take the following from the Raleigh State
Journal:
Is 1T TRUE ?-At kind of "cod fish" supper
given IN this city Christmas eve, We are told one
of the guests toasted the Stars and Stripes Hol-
den of the StrnLtrd, and Pennington, his Jackall,
were present and Gov. Vance, too, as we learn
How was the toast received? Or is it true 1t was
gwen in presence of Gov. Vance?
We have reason to believe that this "feast" did
come off and that the SarS and Stripes toasted
, for we have been informed by person just from
Raleigh that it was currently reported there that
such toast had been given and such TO ,st drunk,
and that the OF the giver Of tue feast and his
guests were openly spoken Of upon the streets and
at their rcorners.-PstsrSbWrg Register.
There is no truth in the above. At the supper
at which Mr.. Pennington and Mr.. Holden were
present, no such toast was drank nor thought of;
nor do we believe that such a toast was given at
any supPerin Raleigh, or on any other occasion
Gov. Vance was not present at the supper re-
ferred to.
Nothing is too sacred for the polluted pen Of the
depraved creature who nomnally edits the State
Journal He obtrudes his brazen face into private
parties, and would even descend into the grave to
crafty his filthy appetite for slander. We are not
surprised at snv thing he does, but We do confess
to little surprise that the Editor of the Register,
who has been accustomed to move among gentle
men, should give currency to such charge. The
.'giver of the feast" referred to is one of best
ctizens-an anable, generous-hearted gentleman,
who has done nothing to justify such an obtruson
into his private house 1t would have looked much
better IN the Editor of the Register if be had paid
o note which the gentleman referred tn holds against
him before he repeated this slander from the State
Journal But such conduct is in keeping with the
character Okthe Editor of the Register, who hates
individuals just in proportion to the favors they
have conferred upon him.
It is currently reported in Raleigh, and believed
to be true. that opI, the very night mentioned tho
nominal Editor of the Journal was guest at a sup
per given by some negroes III genteInans k'tcher
in this City, and that he had the presumption tn 60
at the firsl table II is presumed he was invited
as no gentleman would attend on such an occasion
without an invitation.
