Gov. Steele is'probabiy reelected, though py q
very slender majority. Our last word rom 0on,

perhaps Steele" We always believe the worst OF
Hampshire until faith is merged In Ssh''

The acoroach of our City Election, with the call
of Wing General Meeting for Tomorrow even
ing 10 respond to the nomination of Mayor, has
been made the occasion or the Pretext tor one OF
The periodical outbreaks Of the Courier & Enquirer,
intended to create trouble and division IN the Wing
party. Il is most unfortunate for the Wing Cause
thai the responsible Editor of the Courier, after
having once at least formally proclaimed that his
was no party paper and would not be controlled by
the interests or the wishes of any party-afer again
formally announcing himself an American Rcpub-
ican,' adopting the creed and entering into the
secret councils Of that pary-and after his recently
proclaimed approval of the Presidential course OF
Mr.. Polk and his resolve TO yield the new Admin
istrafion cordial support until, by some change OF
policy it should forfeit the claims it has established
to public favor, and denounced az A6oiaionists
those who felt already constrained to oppose Mr..
Folks course-it is unfortunate, we say, that our
contemporary cannot feel content to remain IN the
Wing party-stil more deplorabe that he cannot
be induced to stay out Of it, but Is continually az
Stunning to be Wing or something else, as best
COMFORTS with his steadily pursued purpose Of get
ting himself into all imaginable hot water and
making the Wing party all the trouble in power.
The burthen Of his Saturdays ebullition is The
Tribune, with Its uncompromising hostility 10 An
ncxation or to any measures calculated to extend
the sphere or increase the power of Slavery in our
Country or its Councils, but his slender preext for
connecting this matter with the General Meeting
and the Charter Election is that portion of the pub
lished call for that meeting which invites
..The Wing Electors Of the City of New York. and all
others who disapprovo Of the 4erds Iniqaty."
Now what is meant by the Teas HiquityP
inquiries the Colonel and he proceeds to answer
by quoting from &c the following remarks of The
Tribune appended to t." Here is gross mlsrepre-
sentaton, The call was inserted in The Tribune
as an advertisement by those whose duty ii waste
issue it: the Editor Of this paper had nothing what
ever to do with it. and has never till this moment
written one word in relation TO it. That we
heartily approve every line of is quite true, but
our article on Texas and Slavery from which the
Courier quotes as appended to- the call and ex-
planatory of its occult meaning, was written In
utter unconscicusness Of that call.
But what is meant by the Texas lniquity ~
asks the Courier; and it proceeds to expound the
phrase as the watchword of some dark and novel

and other Wing papers, evncing persistent, un-
yielding hostility to the formation of fee Slave
States from Foreign Territory and their admission
into the Union. But are the Wing Mayoralty Con-
