The MUNICIPAL ELECTION. An election is

A-A >AOA'AOL1AL 1lLESAlOIN' &Au SASNtAoA A.
to be held on the 25th inst. for members of the
City Council, and upon the choice then made
depends the municipal government of the city
forthe next year, the selection of all the officers,
save the Mayor, devolving upon the Council.
In unity there is strength, and especially at this
time should there under no circumstances be
any diversity Of opinion among the Conserva-
tves. The opposing party is using every ex-
ertlon to carry the election, and it will certain
ly not DO tor those who have the best interests
OF the city at stake to be idle or supine. Every
CONSERVATIVE will be expected to do his duty
and his whole duty. Not only will the Radical
party here leave no stone unturned, but they
Will receive encouragement, and maybe some
thing more, from Washington, warning has
already been given, and men and means" are
called tor Under these circumstances, does it
not behoove every Conservative to be up and
doing '-.grdlng on his armor for the fight,
which Will be an obstinate one. Remember
that for ways that are dark" and tricks that
are vain, the Radical leaders are very peculiar,
and there must be no division or dissension on
the part OF the Conservatives, else they will be
defeated and post mortem regrets be useless
After the mischief is done it will be too late, as
is the custom, to show how the evil might have
been avoided Go into the contest as unit and
success will crown the Conservative cause, and
there will be no necessity for vain regrets
