THREE TIMES AN ELECToR. Mr.. Thomas H. Hub
bard one of the Presidential Electors of New York,
from Oneida county, gave his vote for De Witt Gin
ton, in the Electoral College in 1911, again for Jas.
K Polk in 1914, and now for Franklin Pierce. When
the electors cast their votes for Mr. Clinton, they
marched in procession to the post Office at Albany,
and deposited them in the mail to be conveyed to
Washington.

We find an article in the London Times, of some
months past, which should receive the discreet no.
tice of those philantbropiss who, in our country
are dealing recklessly with the future happiness
of the American blacks:
"Our legislation has been dictated by the pre-
sumed necessities of the African slave. After the
Emancipation Act, large charge was assessed up
on the colony in aid ofcivil and religious institutions
for the benefit of the enfrancsed negro, and it was
hoped that these colored subjects of the British
Crown would soon be assimilated to their fellow
citizens. From all the information which reaches
u.s. no less than from the visible probabilities of the
case constrained to believe that these hopes
have been falsifed The negro has not acquired
with his freedom, any habits of industry or mora-
ty His independence is little better than that of an
uncaptured brute
Having accepted few of the restraints of civza-
ton he is amenabe to few of its necessities and the
wants of his nature easily satisfied. that at
the current rate of wages he is called upon for moth
ing but ftful desutory exertion. Therefore the
blacks. instead of becoming intelligent husbandmen
have become Migrants and squatters and it is
apprehended that with the failure of cultivation
in the island will the failure of its resources
for instructng and controlling it's population. So
imminent does this consumation appear. that memo
rails have been signed by classes of colonial society
hitherto standing aoof from politics, and not only
the bench and the bar, but the bishop clergy, and
ministers of all denominations in the island without
exception, have recorded their conviction, that in
the absence of timely relief the religious and educa-
tional institutions of the island must be abandoned
and the masses of the population retrogade to bar
barism.n
