they do not deem the character of their malgncr

nal service. We have received suggestions and
hints from them, as from many other Wings, OF
this City, the State, and Of other States, thank
fully and deferentially; but, after giving them
the consideration to which the advice of earnest
fellowlaborers in good cause is always entitled,
we have informally pursued that course which
our own judgment dictated, often in direct oppo-
si.ion to the ardent convictions of those who are
represented by the Courier as overruling all our
sentiments and actions. Somuch is due to them,
as well as to our Forty Thousand Subscribers


But while we have no occasion for putting in
any defence against the abuse of the Courier, we
have right to speak Of the course of that paper
in the recent contest That the Commercial
should take the course it did, in view ofts uniform
consistent attitude through the last six years,
may be matter of regret but not of surprise. The

While Gov. Seward held the power Of dispensing
Offices and burdens, it procssed TO concur in his
views respecting the proper treatment of our Em'-

Sc. &c. Even since he retired to private life, its
Editor has INDUCED in unmcasured praise of his
character. talents, and administration. With no
confidence in the integrity or stability of the Cou-
rier, we did certainly expect that decent respect
to consistency and the worlds opinion would for
bid its now lending its aid to prostrate the regular
Wing organization and to swell the triumph OF
Nativsm in our city. We shall never again be
disappointed in the OF that paper, unless
find it acting with consistency, disintercstedness
and good faith.


As to packing committees" &C., we did not
know the name Of any candidates for place in
the Mayoralty Convention until they had all been
chosen, and while highly esteeming Mr.. FeANxtrN,
were decidedly in favor of running another man
for Mayor. We were in Connecticut when the
nomination was made, and it was unexpected
though not unacceptable TO us. II does seem to
us that Mr.. F. has been badly enough treated by
his professed political associates in the Wing cause
to be spared the ungenerous and utterly unfoundcd
imputations which are clearly implicated in the
Courier's above quoted article.
