 MR. EDITOR Our election for members to re- present this county is very at hand and among the many subjects of a local character, none, in my opinion, is of greater importance than that which dsfranchises many of our citizens our city eec- tions The citizens therefore, who feel any interest upon that subject, should steadily keep it in mind, and require such pledges from those who become candidates as will insure repeal of the city char ter at the next session of the General Assembly.

 It should be borne in mind by every democrat that during the winter and spring of lS40, the property qualification for voters for common councllmen, was charged by the whigs to be democratic measure are you as democrats willing that such charge shall remain at your doorl For one, answer am not. Our principles in accordance with the de- claration of our rights, that all free white men are equal, and that distinctions by law should ever be be made. But how stands the case with the whig gentlemen, who represented this country at the last regular and the called session of our legislature When an opportunity offered to repeal that unjust and unequal law, they were found by their votes and speeches, opposing its repeal. One of those gentle men assumed the ground that there was no complaint of the citizens of Mobile upon that subject. lie as- sured the house upon his veraciy that he had never heard but solitary individual in Mobile, com. plain of the law--another gentleman, assured rle house, that the opposition to the law was composed of loafers and some few disappointed democrats, who wanted ofice-and yet third, complained bit terly of members from any other county, attempting to advocate measure for the citizens of Mobile. Thus your rights as ireemen have been trampled un- der foot by your representatives, and doubt you will he urged again to support them or portion of them at the coming August election. In justice to the people, those who have supported them, and feel a. gain disposed to support them, should require pledge, that if elected they will go for repeal of the city charter, parcularythat portion which requires property qualification
