the day. there 10 as yet no general excitement ano
xs ,rus, there will be none Let the People In
aaire candidly. judge calmly, and vote as tne gen
ersl good shall dictate The number, variety and
importance Of the Offices TO be filled will pretty GER
tsinly draw out good vote and the absence Oh ex
element will incite many to disregard party con
alterations in the choice Of purely Municipai OH
ceys We trust this will especially be the case
With regard TO Judicial stations. There are but
few DAYS wherein to select and present candidates
for these stations, and We exhort every voter to
disregard politics whenever be knows one candi
date for Justice to be upright and capable WINE
his opponent is not And should no suitable
pomipation be made by either party for some JUS
tceshp let the honest men Of the district be calico
tosether to nominate fit man, and let such man re-
ceivs the votes of honest men Of all parties Give
az pure justice at all hazards
We rejoice that the rival candidates tor Mayor
are both eruineLtly fit and trustworthy MIR BRADY
has served the City faithfully and credltabIy so
has Mr.. HAvExEYER. Each is in the prime OF liie'
industrious and vigsnt by the habits OF his whole
life neither would lay claim to extraordinary tai
cnt, but each has filed various Municipal offices
with general appreciation. Still more the election
OF either will be verdict OF this great City I'D
favor Of the principle of Free Soil Tor Free LABOR
and against the extension Of Slavery over any por
ton Of the vast territories about TO be acquired
from Mexico. Mr. Havemeyer is one OF the Barn
burner Delegates elect to the Baltimore Conven-
tion and the concentration upon him OF the Loco
Foeo vote Of our City will operate as strong en-
dorsement Of the claims OF the Utica Delegates to
seat in that Convention We shall not regret to
see him poll good vote.
Yet it 10 hardly generous in Mr.. Havemeyer to
allow his name to be presented at this time IN
view Of all the facts. Elected at frat by plu-
raty only, through the division of his political OPP
ponents, Mr.. II. was uniformly regarded by them
with favor throughout, reelected without serious
attempt to Dust him, and it is notorious that, had
be consented to run again, he would have been
chosen with scarcely even nominal opposition'
But he peremptorily declined and withdrew from
public life and, now that unexceptionaoe
Wink Mayor has served through single year
with unsurpassed fidelity and efficiency we do not
consider it quite the fair thing that Mr. H. should
allow himself to be put forward as competitor
once more for his old position. II MIR. Brady is to
be thrust out at the close Of his first year 1t should
be BY some one else than Mr.. Havemeyer.
As to Aims House Commissioner, we have
hoped to live long enough to see year IN which
Mr. Moses q. Leonard should not be candidate
for office, but we begin to despair OF it. II Mr. L.
were esteemed eminent for ability or worth, his
perpetual aspiration would not be so marvellous
but We never heard anybody pronounce him above
mediocrity in any respect II the world were mol
absolutely made for Mr.. Leonard, we hope he vii
