At the time OF Ar. SIth's nominaiion By Bis
American friends, the election elected appErsnty

would be elected without serious opposition. On
the morning Of The 26th, however, an Hindspsn-

atiV,ly demanded by the condition OF the city's
affairs To this ticket the papers Of thai city gen
orally including several which had heTstOlors sup
ported the party in power, gave in their adhesion,
as it was said 70 BE- composed Of citizens Of the
highest responsibility, and in regard 70 the pros
pects Of which the New Orleans Bee (Whig), OF The
27th ult,, furnishes the following Information:
We published yesterday letter addressed by
very large number Of tho citizens Of NeH Orleans
TO Major G. 7. Beaursgsrd, IN which the latter is
solicited 70 allow his name 10 be used as an indie
pendent candidate for the Office Of Mayor a. tho en-
suiEg election. The signers declare that they are
impeled 10 make this request BY their deep interest
in the prosperity and good name Of New Orleans.
and b. their desire 70 rescue the sdmiDisrAtion Of
the municipal government from the baneful inAu-
euos Of party politics. Major BsauregArd, in .
dgnifsd and modest reply, accepts The sandidataFs
with clear understanding thEs he is to remsin in
dependent in every sense Of the term.
This movement is not unexpected. For several l
weeks before the American Nominations we had /
heard rumOTB Of an independent ticket and current
report had designated Major Beauregsrd as the
candidate who would be selected for the principal
ofi5e. From the names We see appended to Ihs |
correspondence there is reason 10 believe that q
strong effort Ril be made in behalf Of the indopen-
dent Gokst. We recognize among the signers = !
mass Of old line Wings, considerable number Of l
Democrats, and many gentleman Who It one time
we're either members Of the American party OF we're
accustomed 20 vote with that organisation.
Tho BaiiahH (Whigl. after referring 20 the ''dis-
orders which have 50 long covered the city With
psll Of ufsmy," says; "Our citizens, We think ct
last begin 20 appreciate condition, and realize
the absolute necessity Of making vigorous, united !
