TO CORRESPONDENTS.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.
"Scruto" is informed that have rejected
on the other side In politics,
II like character with his own. He will
see, at once, that if admit one party to
advocate the claims of their candidates, in
The columns of the Telegraph, ! must the
other, 10 be fair and impartial. And 10 al |
low such advocacy a place in the Telegraph, |
would be 10 depart from a rule TO which | !
have hitherto rigidly adhered, and which
am not convinced ought 10 violate.
Ii is true stated ii as my opinion, last
year, that the Wing nomination for State
officers was made with reference TO Anti
Slavery votes But do not recollect that
expressed any opinion, one way or the other,
as to the claims of.the candidates, TO Anti
Slavery votes. 1t Is proper 10 state here, 1t
is manifest that the Democrats have, this
year, pursued the same policy-making their
State nomination also with reference 10 the
nti-Slavery votes.
THE ANTI-SLAvERY ALMANAC FOR 1871
has been received. 1t is production every
way worthy Of its author, Theodore ID.
Yield. To say this in truth is TO give il all
the recommendation il needs. 1t is not in
! ferior to any of its predecessors. Let it
have general circulation. The Executive
Committee Of the State Society, in this
State, at a recent meeting, voted not 10
take the circulation of line Almanac into
! their hands this year, but TO throw this work
upon County and town Societies and iudi-
viduals. repeat, let it have wide circu,
laiion. The following extracts from the
work should be we'll pondered by all those
who feel in the least tempted 10 sacrifice
their morals TO the party politics Of the day
A WORD TO ABOLITION VOTERS
