Mahoney &vows that he and those who act with him— who profess to be most intense defenders of tha Constitution and the old Union—are struggling to obtain peace on any terms; which means, paipably, with the Union and Constitution for- ever destroyed; as the oligarchy will accord peace on no other terms so Jong as they retain military power suificient to enabie them to con- temi in the field againet the authority of the United States. Jedging from the intensely secession tone of whe New York Ezpress of Friday, we should judge that thst journal has finally gone over, bag and bageage, to the cxuse of secession, and now stands ranged with Mr. Mahoucy aud the Monerabie Mr. May of Maryland, who are in their public acts as open and notorious advo- cates of the permanent destruction of the Union: and the consequent obiiteration of the Consti- tution, a8 JeMf-rson Davis aud the Richmoad Enquirer.
