NATuRALIZED VOTERS.

For the benefit Of the Judges Of election,

the following synopsis Of the law on the sub

will be seen that every naturalized citizen
wishing to vote, must produce a property authen-
ticated cOPyof the record Of the Court in which
he TaS naturali2ed. No other evidence save
that of his naturalization papers will be ad
missble:

The records OF the Courts Of sister States

Clerk Of the Court in which the record is, with
the seal Of the Court annexed, if there be

the Court, that the Clerks attcstatons is
in due form Of law. Without being thus au
thentlcated no record Of a sister State can be
read in evidence.--La1Cs Of Con-, A. d. 1870.
To enable foreigners 10 become citizens, it

here too, as in Rome, we have great and ar
increasing class, who habilually look 10 tho
Government 10 furnish them with the means
Of a livelihood. "They toll not, neither do
they spin. They have no industry--.no pro.
lession, or ifthcy had, they have abandoned il
for the dcspicoble trade Of oliiceseeking. All
their ambition, all their patriotism, all their

TO arrest this evil in its destructive career,
there arc two remedies One, 10 reduce all

honorable ambition. But this is a remedy dit.

Of parties, and the number Of ofiico-seekers and

other remedy is, to eject from power, the men
