A HAEn 10 An0pTEp CITIZENS,

"a new paper TO advocate the interests Of
portion Of our foreign population, is about to
be started in Boston, under the auspices of Mr.
SAVAGE. It is to be devoted to instructing the
countrymen Of the editor, as TO the political
morals Of the day, as he understands them. In
this class Of education, We think that all for
eigners, who take up their abode among rs, can
read better essays on political economy,
from the Journals published BY those who have
been born and nurtured under the invigorating
influence of our free institutions, than can be
gathered from the wild notions Of the Red Re-
publicans OF Europe, who leave their own coun-
try for political crimes, and come here to in
druc us as TO how we should govern ours. This
is kind on their part. We have listened to sew
eral ofthem patiently, but after all their IN
Structions, we have come to the conclusion, that
the Americans know their own business just
about as we'll as any other people, and do not
require any foreign refugees to come here and
bleed the pockets of our citizens to bear the nl-
portant information that "in their opinion" our
form Of government is all wrong. fit is, we
are responsible for it, and we will attend to ii
ourselves.
We say this without any unkind Greling TO
foreigners, for it is we'll known that our feelings
are in favor of the masses Of those who come
among Us, TO make America their abiding place.
But we have no patience with the political
,charIitans who left their country, perhaps for

Persons having business with the Adjutant
General will direct their communications TO
Bedford, as heretofore. Whilst it is true that
Gov. Pollock has named our successor, it is e.
qually true that he cannot enter npon the du-
ties OF the office until the 2Sth day Of October,
a. D. 1876. the day on which the commission
Of the present incumbent viii expire. L has
been matter Of surprize and modification to e
very intelligent Lawyer in the Commonwealth
that the Governor should have made b'ander
50 extraordinary in its character-taking the
bpngling eniry Of clerk. on the record, for
the Latc in toe case, which is 50 plain that We
do not see how any man Of the most ordinary
intellect can possibly uiisconstrue 1t. Suppose
The clerk had made an entry on the record that
the appointment was TO run for six years,
what would The record be worth at the eXPira-
ton of thrpes Just nothing at al all. And an
entry for less than three years is equally worth
less. There is no provision in the law tor fill
ing s.unezpired' terms. The appointment is
for three years, as often as ''sacancy" occurs,
an opinion freely expressed by the most eHii-
rent Lawyers in the State, without distinction
OF party.

A friend at our elbow just remarked after
reading the notice: Il never knew there were
others than '.American>' in the Legislature. y
He was right. The idea Of posting up notice
calling on Americans TO meet in caucus, as
though the present Legislature was not COM

as only fit to be laughed at. Why not at once say
