"Jons w. MAURY is announced a candidate
for the Mayoraity at the ensuing election in June.
"MANY CITIZENS"
In making the above announcement, IL is deem ed
proper TO say that large number OF citizens of all
parties, from The several wards Of the city, ad-
dressed TO Mr.. Marry few days ago communi
cation expressing heir wish 70 present his name
to his fellow citizens candidate for the Mayor
atty at the ensuing election, independent of all
questions connected with the politics of the day
and solely in consideration of his long and useful
services in the Councils, and Of his fitness for the
place.
To this communication the following reply has
been received:
al have received your communication What
ever might have been my personal wishes on the
subject, it would have been difficult for me to resist
the friendly call you have made upon me; but,
agreeing as do entirely with all that you have
said as to the inexpedency Of bringing national
Politics into city elections, most cheerfully
place my name at your disposal a candidate for
the Mayoralty at the ensuing election
Ap 26-dtf "JOHN w. MAURY %
As the friends of other candidates for this office
are already active in their behalf desire to pre-
sent the name OF the present incumbent, WALTER
LENox, esq, for reelection. 1t is to be expected
that personal preference will, to some extent gov
ern the choice OF many; but before the community
generally, honest and discerning in its decison is
not the proper question, "What is the public inter
eat!" 1t must be admitted by every rejecting citi-
zen that sudden and uncalied- for change ia not
only unjust TO the officer, but to the public inter-
est. IT takes away the personal motive and ambi-
ZION which induce the faithful performance of duty
and loses to the public the benefits of official expert
ence If the present incumbent has discharged
the duties of the Office with ability and zeal, and
Nor flor r;r 4
experience, trust that the people of Washin gton
will not use the elective franchise to their own in

Another slave case, that will prove most Sc
rious and bitter contention and trouble between
Pennsylvania and Maryland, occurred last even

officers Ridgely and Snyder, of this city, accom-
panied by officer from Harrisburg, proceeded to
Columbia to arrest an alleged fugitive slave named
Smith, who had been living there some years as a
free man. Having seized him, they were about
starting with him for Harrisburg, when u crowd Of
blacks surrounded them, and the fugitive
ne@ed his efforts to escape. In order to intimi-
date him, well the crowd by which they
were surrounded, the officers drew their pistols,
when the fugitive got Ridgely's finger into his
mouth and bit il most severely. Suffering from
the pain, and in the excitement of the moment
the pistol in Ridgely's other hand either acct
dentally Intentionally fired, and the ball en-
terng the body OF the fugitive. he fell and shortly
after expired. Ridgely succeeded in making his
escape, and, travelling all night crossed the State
line, and reached Baltimore this morning. He
