Position OF the Great Question-The array
or NeutraIs. or Nom Voters.

In the midst of the bustle, excitement, SANDER,
defamation and folly growing out of the contest
for the Presidency, there are sympoms,sin various
quarters, of the increase Of better taste and a
jusler idea OF political science and political phlo
sophy.
In our columns to-day,w be found very Curl
Gus and interesting article from the National In
teliigencer, OF Washington, giving review Of
the recent State elections, in the main
conclusions Of which we believe every sound and
sensible man will agree. BY this mode of exami-
ming the recent elections, it will appear that, cal
cuatng by the vote of 1884, vast number Of voters
have staid away from the polls, sufficient, If they
come up either one way or the other, to turn the
tide as they want-o elect either Clay or Polk, as
they might incline.
This is a most Interesting and curious statement
but il becomes still more interesting, when the
calculation, in the way, Is carried out 10 the
present election, we have done it, in the follow

Mr.. BENNETT
Having seen in late number Of your paper,
paragraph on the naturalization of foreigners, and
being desirous of information on certain points,
partly for my own benefit, and partly for the good
of others, take the liberty to state case tor
your consideration and to request you, IT convent

your valuable journal, of which am constant
reader, and to which subscribe.
In 1888, X z. comes into this country from Great
Brltian, and Immediately on landing in New York,
declares his intention to become citizen OF The
United States, in proper form. About fourteen
months after this he leaves this State and goes into
Canada, on account of very severe sickness, and
by physclan's advice He continued to reside
there till August, 1872, when he returned to this
State, and here still resides. While absent he
did not his allegiance to the British crown,
nor was he sworn into any office under the same.
His actual residence in the States has been three
years and six months.
Is aperson, under such circumstances, entitled to
his naturalization papers and hisvote at the coming
election?
Your polite attention to this will greatly oblige

REVOLUTION BEGINNING IN CANADA.-The new
elections in Canada may be considered as the be-
ginning of revolution-but how it is to end no
one can tell. The present phase is merely ques-
ton to whether Sir CharlesMetcalfe or his cabl-
net shall be uppermost-both agreeing that the
people are tosbe undermost They call it "respon-
sbe government" that is, the Governors cabinet
being responsible to the Legislature; they ought to
have the control of the Governor and all the ap-
pointments.
Disguise it as they may, by technical terms in
Canada, the question at bottom is, British or Cana
dian control in the affairs OF Canada. The ten
dency of the movement is royal or republican. If
the Governor be defeated in the election it will be
severe blow to British supremacy, and may lead
the way to revolution and separation. The repub-
lcan party in Canada is increasing every year
The election will be more bitterly contested than
even ours in the United States The royalists will
make dreadful struggle.

THADDEUs B. WAKEMAN, ESQ,
CoRREsPoNDNe SKc'Y AMERICAN Institute -
MY DEAR SIR
In our many conversations on the great purposes
OF the Institute, have, you know, often dwelt
with high enthusiasm on the origin, progress, and
future destiny OF this great republic, ofwhich you
and | are almost but grandsons. What hopes
have not great and good men entertained from the
experiment on trial in this new world ofthe capa-
billtles OF our race Tor all manner OF Improvement
as well IN arts and sciences as IN righteous govern
ment!
Let me remind you how near we yet are to the
extraordinary fountain OF this western empire !!
In the year one thousand eight hundred and one,
after was Bachelor OF Arts, held many con-
versations in the city Of Augusta, Georgia, with
venerable muatto man, Chen living al his ease on
the plantation Of Mr. Course, who had been the
Oglethorpe, the founder Of the city Of savannah.
The old valet was in good health--he walked some
six miles day for exercise, and his descriptions
of events in England in the time OF Charles the
ment Of Georgia, before and after the founding of
Savannah, had deep interest TO me. lie was
born in 1877, and was one hundred and twenty
fonr years of age when conversed with hlm.
So you perceive, that of two men living and act
ing the two first ages of this great republic, only
one has yet died although the time elapsed Is
one hundred and sixty-seven years and IN that
time the two handsful of noble Anglo. Saxons,
Jamestown, have increased TO nearly twenty mil.
lions OF imen and with allshat too, the arts and
sciences have kept the same double quick step
am not authorised, as mere Secretary OF the
Farmers Club of the Institute to address note 70
the minister OF our grandfather John Bull but if
had the proper authority, certainly should say to
my Lord Aberdeen, that, considering what has
actually come to pass in the short times OF Gene
raj Ogethorpe's valet and myself such grow
ing that should solic.. his lordship's advice as
TO what possible device he coul0 divine tor us to
arrest and put full stop to such most unheard OF
expansion of any race-except rabbits. and that
his lordshp will, by all means, stay ,our growing
out to Texas and Oregon, and other places on tins
Columbian side of the planet, if it can be done
without injury to our health
But my great desire well as yours, is, that
this growing may be well provided with all
good things and that we may be able even to
make pantaloons fast enough to cover decenty
such myriads of republican legs as are even now
straddling away over the Rocky Mountains, and
padding away far beyond Salt River
It's comfort, my dear brother laborer in Ame-
rican institutions that we have lived long enough
TO such an incompre hensible growth OF our
nation. Let US then continue with unabated zeal,
to drive on the American system-and may this
years labor add more still to the astonshment OF
the old world. am always truly yours,
HENRY MEIGs,
Secretary Of the Farmers Club Of the American
Institute
