has been guilty Of improper interference in
the politics Of New York, and who is best en-
tiled to the confidence and gratitude Of the De-

proper interference" but they rejoice at sup

them: Is it because they think that Gov. Wise
canuo, be- nominated unless New York shall
support him at Charleston: No, because they
know that Gov Wise, in his own language
has not counted upon New York" So they
prefcr that the vote OF New York shall be cast
for Douglas or Seymour, or some other advo-
cate Of squat,cr sovereignty, rather than for
Gov Wise: For my own part, | would not

gentlemen are playing the same game which
they unsucccssfully tried at Cincinnati. Hope

MicauberS, they are looking forward to that
same contingency turning up" at Charleston,
which did not turn up at Cincinnati. Having
exhibited willingness to assist the ''Softs" in
