Editor of the Argus.
Please insert the following until after election
and charge to my account:
As my name has been presented by some of my
friends in connection with the office of mayor,
under the expectation and with tine understanding
that city convention would be called by the
committee raised last year for that purpose, and
that city and ward officers would be nominated
according to the usages of the party instituted for
the purpose of organization and consoid ation,
and as the committee have failed to cal meet
ing tor such purpose or for any other, take the
liberty by the advice of numerous friends 10 an
nouncs myself candidate of the democratic
party for mayor at the ensuing election, but am
willing to submit to a nominating convention. 1t
is not necessary for me to make any pledges, pol
itical otherwise at this time, for take 1t for
granted there is but few if any voters in town
who do not know my sentiments this subject
as we'll all other questions that at all interest
the public ] hope therefore to get the entire
vote of che party. There is other candidate
In the field who has or is willing to his
principles. Mr.. Davenport insists that nomina-
ton by the party would defeat him, and he has
repeatedly declared that he would not be a cand-
idate of the democratic party; that it would de-
feat any man who was. Gentlemen, am willing
to try 1t on and stand fall upon the democratic
and Johnsonian platform.

Export Duty ON Cotton.

On Monday last Mr. Thad. Stevens in the House
of Representatives introduced resolution propo-
sing to amend the Constitution of the United
States by an article providing, that g Congress
shall have power to lay export duty or tax on
cotton exported from the United States" This
proposition not only failed to receive the required
two-thirds vote, but fell two votes short of a ma
!ority. -'
1t would seem as if this settled the matter of an
export duty on cotton for this session at least and
cnr people quiet their fears on the subject for
the present We sincerely trust that in the next
Congress other councils may prevail and that that
body will not legislate either in political or do
nestle matters, with such evident injustice to
seetion impoverished, despoiled and unrepresen-
led, and already taxed to its utmost capacity to
pay, yet meets the demands of the tax gatherer
md fills all other legal obligations with a prompt
aess and submission characteristic of their law
