As this contest is being entered into in a most friendly spirit b> the candidates and their friends, wa respectfully beg to suggest to yoa the desirability, under ths circumstances, ot confining the oontest to the two gentlemen who first entered the lists, namely Mr Manning and Mr Hulbert, and whilst offering this Baggostion, we beg to record oox full appreciation of the valuable services which os many occasions yoa readered to the citizens, daring yoar former tenure of ofGce, and also our desire to see yoa _gain, on a future occasion, engaged with equal diligence and faithfulness in discharging the duties of a City Councillor, And remain, dear Sir, Tours faithfully, JOHN ANDEBSON, J.

Gentlemen, — In reply to the above communica. tion, I beg to state that I am moßt wilting to oomply with the suggestion contained therein, viz , to contine tho contest to the two gentlemen named by you. I was prompted to como forward to contest tho vacant seat for the South-east Word in deference to the inflaen ial requisite _n placed in my hands ; but I myself am of opinion that the Ward will be better served by two candidates only contesting for tho vacant seat. I therefore n>w withdraw my candidature, and am most happy to release the gentlemen who signed tho requisition to me. At the same time I beg to tender _..y sincere thanks to the many gont.'emen who promised me their support had I rushed to continue the contest. I remain, Gentiemen, Yoars faithfully, 3D_i P. JENKINS.
