A COMMON LIAR, BY ITS LATEST
RECORD,
The Enterprise Of this morning says:

a COMMON I1A6, DIX 4IS
RECORD.
The Enterprise of this morning says:
THE municipal election, yesterday, re-
suited, as we expected, in q Union TIL
umph-in a triumph Of the supporters Of
Congress and its policy over Copperheads,
Secessionists and Union J~ohnsonites in
combination"
After the men, whom the Ps-ces con-
duc,ors tried to pack into a so-called
Convention, had adjourned their meeting
sins die, with a simply expressed admoni-
ton to the Central Committee as to their
obvious duty ; after a Union Primary had
been held, in which the Ps-pee's candidate
for Mayor had been booked out Of town
by IN overwhelming vote, that sheet doled
out q mass Of advice very cheap-to
the delegates from the people whom it had
vainly attempted to defeat. It then said {:
"In conclusion, we would admonish
the Convention against the introduction Of
any resolution relating TO the differences
between Congress and the President. It
has been suggested that a resolution Of
this character will be presented, not so
much for the purpose Of obtaining an ex-
preston Of sentiment-for the sentiment is
all one way-as to open q way for "bolt-
ers." Should any candidate make such q
resolution an excuse for Withdrawing from
the Convention, we entertain no fear OF
his success against the regular nominee,
whatever element he might be able to his
support. We are willing to fight it out
on the Congressional Union line whenever
the combat is invited, be it tomorrow or
next November; but q local election,
with less than one-half the votes Of the
party registered, is neither the time nor
place for the discussion Of a party differ
ence which the coming six months will in
some msnne assuredly adjust. Before
the next general election Andrew John
son, in the estimation Of all Union men,
will be entitled by his own acts, either to
the support or condemnation Of the Union
party as a body. Hence, the folly, the in
discretion, of bringing. the matter before
the Convention IN any form to-day.
Should a resolution endorsing either Con-
gress or the President be introduced, the
purpose Of the mover will be understood,
and the whole subject should be laid upon
the table and kept there"
Is any further evidence needed Of the
unscrupulousness of the Ps-teeet It knew
very well that a resolution introduced into
the city Union Convention endorsing
Congress as against the Presidens-taking
q "side" in the differences between Con-
gress and the President-would have re-
suited in q victory over the ticket there
nominated. So it confessed. And now
it hesitates not to claim the result as a
triumph Of the supporters Of Congress!"
The Pe-pes regards this sort Of lying as
smart ; but we call the attention Of Union
men TO it because it shows clearly to an
intelligent mind that the conductors OF
that paper are and have been desperately
bent on breaking up the Union party.
They themselves acknowledge in one
breath that q division on the late differ
ences 'twiIt Congress and the President
would result in the par,y's defeat in Vir-
sinia, and in the text they hurrah over q
Union victory, obtained in spite Of their
endeavors, as a declaration against the
President by the entire Union organization
in Virginia! All this would scarcely be
worthy Of serious notice, if we were not
so near q general election, when the un-
broken unity Of u party is Of infinitely
more importance than was its perfect har-
mony at the just past municipal contest.
We are very well aware that the grea. body
of Union men in Virginia, and throughout
the State, deprecase any split on the
grounds here specified, and are determined
that mono shall occur. Therefore it is
tina. we have only to expose, BY such
contrasting extracts as are given above,
the disposition Of the Ps-oes to induce a
division in our ranks, in order to put the
people on their guard against evil endeav-
ors from that quarter in hope Of party
Generalization.
Many Of our readers may wonder why
it is tina. the Pe-pssitss will exhibit no
shame under such a record as the above.
They have no such element in their COM
position. Msrcenary and m~endacious, they
are brazen in q resolution to do all that
their feeble-voiced influence will permit,
to destroy the organization that saved and
Is regensratng the Nation. We ask you
to re-read the quoted paragraphs a. the
head Of this article; for their testimony
will definitely and forever settle in Tho
memory Of conscientious men a true on;n.
ion as to what time must have ELAPSED
since honor and decency fed from the
minds Of the creatures who penned the
coutrsdictng sentenees-if either mem
toned quality Of high manhood can be
suspected Of ever having lodged in such
rsesptaelss.
