EDITOR: Please announce MAJ. JOHN ALEXANDER as a candidate for the office of Mayor of the city of Colum? bia. Maj. Alexander is a property-holder, and tins is one of tho great elementary doctrines of the Democratic party-that property-holders should bo elected to office. Tho Democratic press baa been opposed to the great majority of tho mem? bers of the so-called Legislature of this State becauso they were non-property-1 holders; therofore, tho friends of Maj. Alexander propose his name, and know I that he has friends enough to elect him if he will consent for his name to bo used iu [ the canvas:.'. Maj. Alexander is the com? ing man, and will bo cortainly elected. No clique, composed of packed clubs, but one of the people's choice. Nov 1 VOX POP?LL A CAED.

'?f IFE IN8URANCE enables a man to I J put himself in harmony with Di? vine Providence. Providcmco has brought tho institution into hoing lo bless tho rs ce. Ho who refuses it, distrusts and despises Providence and invites its von goancc upon himself and his household. Wo know ot no fallacy BO transparent, no delusion moro grouudless, than that which makes tho practice of Lifo Insnranco appear as an attempt to controvert tho Divino will." Thousands of widows and orphans livo to attest tho divino beneficence of LIF^E INSURANCE. Without its protecting aigis, many of them would, to-day, bo beg? gars upon the streets, or occupants of poor-houses and penitentiaries. No man can foretell what will bo bis circumstances at thc time of his death. The rich man of to-day dies tho panpor of to-morrow, and tho family, delicately reared, bocomo tho unprepared victims of dire Want, with her train of countless evils. Such a result ia imjiossible, with a policy of Life Insurance, It, indeed, offers the only absolutely safe investment which can be made for tho benefit of ono's family aud of his own old age. All other investments may result in less or ruin. If all would insure, who can calculate tho immense suffering and crimo which the world would be spared! JETNA LIFE INSURANCE COMPA?
