On Monday NEXT we understand, that the
two Boards Of the city government win con-
vene in joint meeting, to elect commissioners
Of the election, to be held in June.
We hope our friends win allow the anti
Americans, one commissioner in each ward,
and thus avoid the possible imputation Of
partially in admitting votes We are by nc
means sure that Jesuitism would allow the
Same indulgence TO the " American party" I
we were in minority. But this should be nc
guide to our action. Let therc be no no pretext
given to the anti-American party, to charg,
our party with an exercise Of arbitrary power
We can afford to be generous, and certainly
we should be just. Fair play" Is all we ask
and we are sure It Is all that our friends vii
claim at the polls.

where he addressed the Democracy ofLoudoun on
Monday. Mr.. Wise was called upon by the Union
Association Of Fusicnsts about nine O'clock at the
residence OF his son-in-law, Dr. Garnet, on Ninth
street, and at their request addressed them from
the steps of the house. He spoke for about three
quarters Of an hour In an animated manner, and
expressed the utmost confidence In bis election.
His speech was mainly an abstract Of his Virginia
speech, which has been 30 often published in the
Wing papers Of that State. We did not regard II
as fortunate one for his own party. II contained
some expressions that must have CALLED the feel
