The following letter is from the pen Of
Rev. Burdett Hart, the distinguished divine
Of the First Congregational Church at
Hartford, Connecticut. His judgment upon
the labors of our missionaries is worthy of
notice. and the letter we'll worth perusal:
Wilmington daily gazette., 1873-08-25
our oAMpIDATEs.

We have already referred TO the gentlemen who
wcrc nominated on Saturday afternoon hy the
Democratic and Conservative voters of our city
for the two important offices that are flied by the
votes of the whole population. 1t is, therefore,
hardly worth while forus to refer to their supe-
ror fitness Tor the respective offices for which
they have been nominated.
WM. s. McCAULLKT, Esq, candidate for Presi-
dent ofthe City Council we believe received every
vote pOlled at the nomination, and his chances
for election arc most promising.
RoBRRT D. HICKS, Esq, our candidate for City
Treasurer received SS7 votes and John IL.
Frazer, $40 votes. Mr.. Hicks belag duly nOmk
mated, will, We hope, be triumphantly elected to
the important office. His qualifications and high
character certainly commend him to the voters OF
all parties. The people should remember that
they do not require politician in such an office.
He has nothing to do with politics.

"UNFoITUNATK FOR THE CTTT."-The GdEsn
said the nomination of Francis Vincent for City
Treasurer was unfortunate for the city" IL the
expre ssion is not an insnuaIion calculated to in
lure Mr.. " in the estimation of the voters OF the
city, we cannot understand the use and meaning
of words We denounced the insinuaIlon as un.
Just and ungenerous, and still maintain this opin
ion. The Gazette, however, pretcnds ignOrancS
of the matter, as though injury had not been in
tended. When professed friend acts Ia thls
way there Is no predicting what muend0 may be
used by an emy.-RepUbliedR.
Very we'll. Nov We understand you and since
we are called on 10 speak plainly on the subject
in order to avoid the criticism Of the Republican,
We must be excused for doing 50 certainly. With.
ont desiring in any way to hurt the feelings OF
the Republican candidate, We must maintain that
what we said appeared true. At the time we
feared that our citizens might commit an unfortu-
nate blunder and elect Mr.. Vincent City Trea-
surer. This fear arose in consequence OF our be-
lieving him without some of the most necessary
qualifications. Since then the Republican has as
serted that Mr. Vincent prdes himself on his
ability as an accountant" To this brag, a cor
respondent in the Gazette, of Friday, takes ex-
cepton and submits proof of his intimAtiOn that
Mr., Vincent lacked the qualifications necessary
to an officer to take charge Of a set OF books.
And we certainly incline TO the opinion of our
correspondent and we believe it would be espe
cially unfortunate for the city If Mr.. Vincent,
lacking these qualifications, should be elected
Our correspondent refers to the docket of Mr.
Vincent while he was acting as Alderman.
We are certainly not unlriendiy to Mr.. Vim
cent personally, aud hope the Republican and its
candidate will Lot consider our opposition to the
election of gentleman lacking the qualifications
for the office which the Democratic candidate
possesses to such an eminent degree, as wanting
In consideration. We never regarded Mr.. Vim
cent as anything else than a Republican, and
when he steps in the political arena he under
stands well that lie is expected TO submit TO the
criticism OF even his Democratic friends.
We could not, for one moment permit him to
think that we could allow the negroes TO select
candidate for so important an Office, who was
lacking in qualifications, without informing our
fhends thereof Certainly such candidate could
expect nothing but opposition from us.
