TIE MAYoRALTr.

FELLow-C ITIzENg-The end fthe NUM-
cipal year is approaching, and you viii soon
be required to elect an incumbent of the
Mayoralty-the position which, by your
kindness and Partially, l now hold. If
sincere zeal for the interests of the city, and
an unremitting and laborious devotion Of
whatever energy and capacity possess, has
been sufficient TO command your approba-
ton Of my management Of the Executive
affairs of the Corporation, ! propose to offer
my services for another term in the Office Of
Mayor.
am induced to do this by numerous So
licitations of worthy citizens from all parts
of the city, as well as from natural desire
to obtain verdict of approval from those
for whom have labored; and because there
are many works commenced in this admin
istratration yet unfinished, which, from hav-
ing become identified with, I wish when I
leave the service Of the city, to offer in a
state Of completion.
The duties of the present city government
have been unusually onerous. / can bear
cheerful testimony to the work of my col
leagues, and only say for myself that have
faithfully endeavored to do my whole duty
to every interest in my charge, and to every
citizen of whatever condition.
If it shall be your pleasure to re-elect me
to a second term, stand pledged, if posi-
bic, to increase my zeal as an officer, and
endeavor to improve the experience which /
have gained in the last year.
Respectfully,
w. MATT. Brown.

THE MAYoRALTY.-A few DAYS since a
call was made on the present worthy and ef-
fcient Chairman Of the Street Committee,
GEORGE S. KINNEY, Esq, to become can
didate fer Mayor at the ensuing election.
Mr. KINNEY is a gentleman well qualified
for the trust, and stands deservedly high in
the esteem Of his fellow-citizens, but we find
in yesterdays Gazette the following graceful
card in which he declines the profered no
nor for private reasons9 and in behalf of the
present popular and efficient Mayor, w.
MATT. BRowH, will consent to serve another
term meets with the hearty concurrence ola
majority Of this community, and we trust
in due time he will announce himself can
didate:
A CARD.
Editors Of the Gdzette:-Since my return
from Louisville my attention has been
drawn to a call upon me to become candi-
date for Mayor, signed "many voters, -
and published in your paper. The very
kind manner in which this call is worded,
as well as your own editorial notice on the
occasion, is, of course, very gratifying 1t
has been my earnest effort to improve the
city, and make it worthy of the position it
seems to me destined to occupy in the gen.
eral business of the country. But, however
ilattering may be the call, and however
anxious am to serve my fellow citizens in
any capacity in which they may think me
qualified, regret that my business is such
as to compel me at this time 70 decline the
call. l do so with the less reluctance as our
present able and energetic Mayor, who has
always sustained me in all my efforts to i'm
prove the city, will, 1 hope, yield to the
many solicitations of his many friends and
allow his name to be brought before the
people for reelection. With grateful &C
acknowledgements to my, / fear, too partia-
friends, l am very truly
GEO. S. KINNEY
