selling Votes in New York.

Hon. Erastus Brooks, of the New York SEN
ate, in some recent remarks on the elective
franchise, pending billto prevent illegal voting
in the city of New York, said that city con-
tanned heterogeneous population, comprising,
according to the census returns Of 1866, $780,
$40 people, who are classified as follows:
Native voters 46,1IS
Naturalzed voters 42,700
Aliens 232,67S
Colored persons not taxed 10,807
Aliens and cold persons not tax'd 3S6,223
The native vote exceeds the foreign vote but
3,4l3, and the aliens, or unnaturalized persons
number 232,67s. In contest between the
natives and foreigners, the foreigners must
succeed, for frauds upon the ballot-box are SO
easily accomplished under the existing laws
that it would require but little effort to manu-
facture 3,413 fraudulent votes out Of 232, CTS
aliens, most of whom can be bought to vote
in any manner ana for any person.
1t is well-established fact that most of the
frauds perpetrated upon the ballot-box are
committed by foreigners, so that the great
question, of Americanism is not one merely Of
the political ascendency of the native popula-
ton, but it is an effort to protect the great bull
wark of American freedom-the ballot box
from frauds, and to shield the elective franchise
from the corrupting influence of bad men and
demagogues.

was much depressed to-day, the dealers having
large amounts on hand, and no buyers or orders on
hand. The dealers in New York and Boston con-
tnue to send here their surplus, which further de-
presses this market. We quote the market to-day

MEssRs. EDIToRs: As you have kindly opened
your columns for the nomination of suitable and
distinguished statesmen for the next Presidency
beg that you viii insert the following, which clip
from Virginia paper.
The writer, speaking of the probability of the
Wings and Americans and, indeed, all conserva-
tive, Union-loving Democrats, uniting upon some
sound and deservedly popular man he proceeds to
say:
As to the next Presidency, they can, and
most fervently hope they will, act together, and
elect man of their own choice, and after their
own heart. Such man, such statesman, as
would honor the Presidency and reflect the highest
honor upon the American Nation at home and
abroad, may be found in Judge George w. Sum-
mers, of Virginia, and also in the Hon. John Bell,
of Tennessee. These emiAent and distinguished
gentlemen and national statesmen are both Wings,
who sympathise with the Americans in all the
great features Of their platform adopted at Phila-
delphia, if they do not actually belong to the
American order. Let either be selected and NOM
mated for the Presidency by the Americans and by
the Wings, and he will be triumphantly elected.
Then the American people would have President
worthy of the name---a conservative, upright ma
tional, Unionloving, and just President Judge
Summers is known and acknowledged to be one Of
the most eloquent orators and profound statesmen
of the present day. No man living would make us
better President. The next President should, of
right, be selected from the South. The present
incumE ent is from the North He cannot, of course
be reelected. His party is broken up end blown
to the winds, not likely to be ever resuscitated.
Let it die and its history die with it."

Anecdote of mr.. Marcy.

"To be rich" said Marcy, our worthy Secretary
of State requires only satisfactory condition OF
the mind One man may be rich with hundred
dollars; while another, in the possession Of mil
lions, may think himself poor; and as the necessi-
ties Of life are enjoyed by each 1t is evident the
man who is the best satisfied with his possessions
is the richest"
To illustrate this idea, Mr.. Marcy related the
following anecdote:
While | was Governor Of the State of New
York. said he, :" was called upon one morning
at my Office, by a rough specimen of backwoods-
man, who stalked in and commenced conversation
. by inquiring if this was Mr.. MarcyT
81 replied that was my name"
"Bill Marcy ?" said he.
nodded assent. -
USED to live in Southbridge didn't ye e@
"I answered in the affirmative, and began to
feel little curious to know who my visiter was,
and what he was driving at" e
"ThAts what told EN-" cried the backwoods-
man, bringing his hands down on his thigh with a
tremendous force Il told 'em YOU was the same
old Billy Marcy who used to live ip Southbridge,
but they wouldn't believe it, and promised the
next time came to Albany, to come and see you
and find you for sartn. Why, you know me, don't
you, Blw
II didn't exactly like to ignore his acquaintance
altogether, but for the life OF me couldn't recol
lect ever having seen him before and 30 replied
that he had familiar countenance, but that was
not able to call him by name"
any name is Jack Smith," answered the back
woodsman, ''and we used to 60 to school together
thirty years ago in the little red schoohouse in old
Southbridge. Well, times has changed since then,
and you have become great man, and got rich, /
suppose :"
~ shook my head, and was going to contradict
that impression when he broke out with
"0hl yes you are; krow you are rich no
use denying it, You was Controller for--for a
long time ; and the next heard of you, you was
Governor. You must have made heap of money,
and am glad of it, glad to see you getting along
so smart You was always q smart lad at school,
and knew you would come to something"
Il thanked him for his good wishes and opn-
IONS but told him that political life did not pay so
well as he imagined.
az suppose said T. fortune has smiled upon
you since you left Southbr;dge?n
"Oh! yes" said he, +" / hain't got nothing to
complain Of l must say I've got along right
smart. You see shortly after you left Southbridge
our whole family moved up into Vermont and put
right into the woods, and reckon our family cut
down more trees and cleared more land than any
other in the whole State"
"And so you have made good thing of it,
How much do you consider yourself worth ?"
asked feeling little curiosity to know what he
considered fortune, as he seemed to be 80 well
satisfed with his.
Well he replied don't know exactly how much
am worth, but think STRENGTHENING himself up)
if all my debts were paid, would be worth three
hundred dollars clean cash
