The President NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Wilmington, N. C, December 20, l-StiS. Jlexsrs. Editors: Some days since, the question wart asked, by some person, through the Dis rATcn, whether or not the citizens of Wilmington had the privilege of electing a Mayor. I have not seen the question answered. Though nbt a lawyer, nor do not profess any legal attainments, I say, according to' the privilege granted by the Leg- declares in his" messjige piat the 8UCcessof islature of North Carolina, that they hare that his policy required, at least the acquiescence riSht- Therefore, I suggest the name of of the States w hich it concerns, and implied an inritatior to those States, by renewing their allegiance to the United States, to rc- Mime iiieir luiicuons as oiaies.oi tlie umon. This invitation was accompanied with su gestions that ordinances shall be passed for ever prohibiting slavery, putting the formal stigma of nullity' upon the secession ordi nances, and repudiating all debts contracted in aid of the rebellion; and that a legislative ratification of the Constitutional Amend ment snouici be given, j These suggestions have lecn substantially complied with ; and the Southern States are paw awaiting their promised privilege of resuming their 1 func tions as States of the Union.' " The Timet also advocates the removal of the Provisional Governors and the admission of the .Southern irpresentatives into the National Legislature It thinks the dealings of the Southern States with the President were dealings with the government, and that they carry with them a certain faith which all branches of the go veriiment should reco"" nizc and respect. i The Atf?f has the following on thy proba jilities of a war with France : 4 We do not DR. W. PRICE, for Mayor,' and the following named gentlemen as Commissioners : M. LONDON, ELI MURRAY, ALFRED MARTIN, S. D, WALLACE, . DR. E. A. ANDERSON, SILAS N. MARTIN.' Perhaps the citizens of Wilmington do not deem it expedient to go into an election for Com missioners of the town, under present circum stances; from the fact that all elections that have taken place have been' a mere farce; that none of those elected have been allowed to exer cise the authority delegated to them, by the Con stitution and laws of North Carolina, rience, they could not perform the functions of said powers delegated to them heretofore. But as it has been proclaimed by the Provisional Governor that tlie people had a right to elect officers in the different municipalities, why not the people of Wilmington exercise that right, though they may not be allowed to take their seats as such officers, but may be ready to qualify at such time that civil authority may be established in accordance with all other elections.

He further remarks : " Mv Observations lead me to the conclusion that the citizens of the Southern States are anxious to Return to self-government within the Union as soon as possible, and that while reconstructing they want and re quire the protection of the government."
