To-mobbotv the burgesses will be called upon to elect a Mayor for the ensuing year. The office is one that every good citizen may aspire to, and it ii—wisely, as we think—left to the burgesses to make a fresh choice each year. Of the two candidates before the electors one has nearly completed a term of office, and seeks it for another term. The other candidate, Mr McCullough, comes forward at the request of a large number of his fellow citizens., The worst that can bo urged against him is that he has not sat in the Council, and this objection is only, advanced by one.or tyro councillors whose seats are scarcely warmed yet. It is true a few unscrupulous opponents of Mr McCullough are endeavoring to import party feeling into 1 this contest, but we trust the good Bense of a majority of the burgesses will resist this attsmpt, and decide the contest on its own local merits. If they do this, they will show their disapproval of electing one person to the office of Mayor for several consecutive terms, and return Mr McCullough, whose fitness for the office is undeniable.
