Gov. Wise'a Letter.

The New York journals of Friday contain a
letter from Gov. Wise. addressed to some unknown
person in New York. touching tho subject of the
next Presidency. It's apparently private letter
never intended for publication. II so. Governor
Wise has been cruelty betrayed, though there is
nothing in the letter except discussion of the
chances Of various aspirants for the Presidency,
The New York News denies the genuineness Of
the letter, and pronounccsit forgery. IT so. the
author has very cleverly initiated the Governors
peculiar style of writing.
The Governor states that Douglas ia confident
OF carrying New York, and that Mr.. Buchanan IL
candidate for re nomination. Virginia, he says,
will be a unit" but he does not say for whom
lie proclams tina, he can beat Seward and Doug
las both.
The New York Times expresses the opinion
that this letter. il genuine, has destroyed the Gov
ernors chances for Northern support. But our
Governor is man Of indomitable pluck and per-
severance. and scatters his enemies before him
like chat before the wind. We await the next
turn Of the wheel.
