To the Editor Of the Wing
Sat- is known to your readers that, in
anticipation Of the election expected soon to

far, no orc has offered for the msyoralty. This
is an Office Of responsibility and requires for the
honest and efficient discharge Of its duties. man
of Judgment experience and ability. We look
around us almost in vain for suitable man who
would be Wiling TO accept the office in the pre-
sent disorganized condition Of affairs but we
hone NO one who should be called by the voice o +
the people 10 serve as the Chief Magistrate, would
decline the position. As one well suited to pre-.
side over the civil department OF the ci y, we take
the liberty Of mentioning the name OF James
Evans ESQ, q gentleman well and isvorably
kno-R 10 the citizens Of this community, having
cslyed term OF twenty-five years as clvll ma
gistrate in Richmond. Possessing experience
and ability 10 discharge the important duties oil
Mayor, his character ss a gentleman and nus
honesty and int Zrity a. faithful and law-aDl'
ding citizen, eminently qualify, and his many
virtues point to him, as the proper man TO re the
next MAJOR Of Richmond. Without knowing the
feelings Of Mr.. Evans on this question, We for
bear 70 do more than TO request tho use Of his
name for, and We trust II may be the pleasure OF
the citizens 70 elect him 70, the Office.

ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR BRAMLETTE, OF
KENTUCKY

LOUISVILLE June 30.-Governor Bramlette sd-
dressed the citizens of Louisville this evening in
favor of the Constitutional Amendment and the
advantages OF free over slave labor in Kentucky.
He said that slavery had been utterly ovethrown,
He urged the people TO establish system Of free
labor as dictatei by wisdom and interest, and
showed by the statistics of the population and
oc upliion of lands by slaves and non-slave-
holders that the rich lands of the State were in
the hands of class exceedingly small in compa.
parlson with the popular masses. He also urged
the organization of the fIee white laborers OF the
State to take care in the future OF their own in.
terests He spoke of the necessity existing for the
immediate action of Kentucky in dsposing of
the yexed question of slavery.
