We have borrowed from the Tammany po-
liticians, operated sore!y against US. Wings
will rot respect nominations foisted upsn
them by such shameful machinery, and they
ought rot to do it. But hundreds went
further, and refused to vote at all because
a part of the minor candidates presented
for their SURFACES were touched with this
leprosy By this means our vote is dimin-
isked and our local candidates defeated ia
several Wards. The With, With, IXth,
XvIth, XVIlth and XlXth Wards might
have been carried By the Whigs had they
seen fit to pull together But they did not,
and by their feuds threw away the City.
We shall be thankful if they have not
thrown the State after it.
The Temperance question operated to
the detriment of the Wing vote. We do
not find fault with any man for voting for
Municipal officers with primary regard to
their moral principles, but many Wings
were so absorbed in Temperance that they
forgot to vote any State Ticket. We lost
hundreds of votes on this account, as the
Official Canvass will show.
All these we state, not by way of COM
plant but of admohition. Disasters have
their lessons let us search them out and
profit by them. If our City has sacrificed
a great part of the Wing State Ticket,
with the control OF the Assembly, let US
take care that the like mistakes and short
comings be not allowed In like manner to
defeat us again.

Tap;es Of the Morning.

By the news from New Mexico it viii
be seen that the American population are
incensed to a fearful degree by the murder
of their fellow C ountrymen. Great appre-
tensions prevailed that this murder would
lead t. an internecine strife. At Santa Fe
the seeming apathy Of the Governor had
excited great and universal Indignation.
Evidently there is something wrong, if not
DANGEROUS in the elemental organization of
this Territory.
From Texas every thing wears the as
pect Of war. All is hustle and military
maneuvering on the frontiers. Wild Cat
and his followers follow war as sort Of ne
cessity. One day we hear Of his joining
the Mexican troops, and another of ms
committing indiscriminate murder on who
ever falls in his power.
By the arrival of the PrOmetheus we
have advices from Nicaragua to the Both
ult. Our correspondent gives particulars
of the war movements, which lead us to ex-
pect that ere now battle has been fought
Our correspondent augurs succession Muhoz,
and adds that Honduras and San Salvador
will support him.
We have additional particulars from the
Whaling feet in the Northern Pacific.
Another letter from our Correspondent
Marx will be found in this mornings issue
1t will be found one of the most interesting,
as it deals with Austria, the center of all
that is rotten and ruffianly in Germany.
The State Election is still in doubt, and
the telegraph only cOnfounds things. We
still rely on the sound sense of the New
York community. We know there is still
majority of them not faithless to principle,
and therefore hope for the success of at
least part of the Wing Ticket.
Other returns from different parts OF the
Union will be found in The Tribune.

ONE Porsr SrrrLrp-Odr City Wing

ONE PolNr SErTLED.-Our City Wing
Councils have been good deal distracted for
two years past upon the question Which IS
the regular Wing organization in the lAth
Ward > This Fall, the question was taken to
the Wing State Convention, and there slurred
over without decision. The Wing General
Committee had recognized the Delegates OF the
Ball section last Winter, and that section
alone was represented in said Committee
which nevertheless decided not TO interfere IN
the late Charter contest but let the rival or
panizatlers fight out their battle, which they
did and the result is vote OF about three TO
one for the Crane ticket, running against the
present Wing Alderman OF the Ward, ana
sealns, a formal decision Of the present Wing
General Committee in perfectlng Its own organl'
cation We submit, therefore, that the quarrel
has been fought out, and the main question at
issue decided by the highest possible authority.
Should not this end 1t
