believe that there is no time like the present
for action in the matter. The former mode OF
choosing electors was productive OF gross abuses
and frauds, and measures preventive Of their le-
petition cannot be too speedily adopted.
EMICRANrs. Among the communications
from the departments, submitted to Congress,
is one 'irom the Secretary Of State, accompa-
MED with statements Of the number aud desg-
nation of the passengers who have arrived in
the United States on shipboard during the three
first quarters OF lS43, and the year comnieaclng
lst October, ls43, and ending 30lh September,
1874, so far as the same are exhibited in the
returns made to the Department Of State by
collectors of the customs, under the act Of I'd
of March, 1919.
"The returns show for the three quarters OF
1919, Sc 529 persons for the year ending 3oth
September, 1914, AGA persons making for
the one year and three quarters, III ,283 per-
sons. Some collectors, it is believed, have
made no returns"
We presume that the designation Of passen-
gers" mentioned in the foregoing, docs not EN-
brace some particulars which it is important
should be made known, viz: how many of the
emigranis were criminals, and how many pau
pers, transported at the expense Of the author
itos in Europe. 1t is notorious that this bust
ness OF sending the criminals and paupers from
Europe to the United States is carried on eX-
tcnsively, much to tie injury of the morals of
our community, and seriously prejudicial to
their pecuniary interests. Vessels are regular
" chartered IN some Of the European seaports
by the public authorities, TO bring over crmi-
nails and paupers; and thus we have fair pros
pect Of having the whole of this description OF
population transferred to our shores, to be
manufa ctured into American citzens-elcctors
of our highest officers.
We are pleased to see that this subject has
been introduced into Congress, and sincerely
hove that there will be sufficient patriotism
amongst members To amend the naturalization
laws. so as to guard and protect the American
people from the influence Of foreign govern
ments, and from the contamination of Euro
pean felons and paupers. 1t is not proposed to
exclude worthy foreigners from emigrating to
this country and becoming citizens; bat we in
sist that every precaution should be taken to
prevent the emigration and citizenship of Others
of "a different character. The terms upon which
the rights of citizenship shall be conferred may
be changed at our pleasure, as it may be deen'-
ed most conducive to the welfare of the coun-
try; and that an alteration in the existing law
is imperiously required must be evident to
a,or,, mn N nf observation.

For the Voice of Freedom.
LETTER FROM PROF. TWINING.

| have received number of the Voice
of Freedom, containing an article by Mr..
J. Holcomb, in which he has commented
upon case, proposed by myself, in the
Vermont Chronicle, as real one. My
acquaintance with Mr.. Holcomb is but
partial; yet. since it presents him 10 me
as laborer in the great enterprise of
universal emancipation, would not seem
to slight the invitation given me, by name,
in the article alluded to. Brevity is CON-
patible with my object. My own intend
ed part was performed when offered the
case for the attention of others; and if
contrary to my original purpose, re-
appear. this once. in relation 10 it, once
will be sufficient.
First notice, in passing, Mr. Hol.
combs reasons for remarking, now, upon
the case presented, which he states to be
the importance of the station held by the
individual TO whom he considers the cir.
cumstances to appertain, and of that held
by myself, who have brought the circum.
stances to notice. Let me say that my
object,in appendng true initials to my arti.
Gle, was,-not.that my unimportant name,
or my station, might make the providential
occurrences therein detailed, noticeable
but, simply, that any one who should care
TO have voucher for the reality of the
facts set forth might, by reasonably dill
gent inquiry, ascertain to whom the ini-
tails belonged. Ia conformity with this,
! give no positive confirmation 10 Mr..
Holcombs averments, respecting the name
of the individual to whom the facts apply,

belief is that the executioner would have
been seriously injured, and perhaps MUIR
dered, if he had not been protected by
the judicial officers. Here, then, were
passions running rio, at the foot of the
scaffold, and on the spot where blu. one
hour had elapsed since fellow-creature
had been sacrificed for the sel(.same crime,
only differing in degree. Here not one
or two. but hundreds, contended for the
opportunity to infict an injury, and to al

he is not clear, and all the scholastic EN-
bellishments Mr.. Twining could clothe his
arguments with, or the sledge hammer
knocks could give, would not alter the
facts, or bis duties. So, think the best
way will be for Mr.. Twining and myself
TO throw the responsibility on Mr. McGill-
let him clear himself of the imputalion of

suggestions under AMUSEMENT? And will
you soon thereafter report progress as fast

hope Mr.. McGill will feel it his duty to
carry out what is already begun.
