written notices which the City Council has
ordered posted, that an election occurs mex,

and sundry gentlemen Of known sagacity and
prudence shall administer the city govern
ment during the next twelve months. This
election is most important one, and one, too,
to slic!f ] lhaEOshS dou,t an para les iatsr.

character. it is true, yc, one OF great honor
and dignity, and the proper exercise Of The
functions Of which will not fail to cast great
credit upon the holders thereof
Now, am aware that various and several
eiorts arc being made, and ingenious devices
resorted to, in order 10 defeat, at this clccs
tiou, The worthy gentlemen who have SO al
mirahly and with such signal ability, flied
the Offices aforesaid during Ike pas. year
