Qualification of Voters.


The Massachusetts, Legislature has now un-
der consideration the following ap-adment to
the constitution RI
"No person shall be eligible to vote or hold Of
fee under the Constitution of this Common wealth.
who shall not be able to read the constitution in
tho English language and write his name: Pro
vided hopeuer, That the provisions of this amend
ment shall not apply to any person prevented by
a physical disability from complying with It's re-
QUESTIONS, or to persons who already have right
to vote, or to any persons who shall be sixty years
of age or upwards at the time this amendment
shall take effect"
This is genuine American measure, in
tended to protect the ballot box from the in
fuence of ignorance and superstition. The
Sag NIGHTS war against this proposition, thus
pandering to the influence of foreigners and
appealing to ignore and superstition. A
similar attempt should be made in Congress.
The bill Of Mr.. Meacham will afford Americans
in Congress an opportunity to test their sin
cerity by moving an amendment similar to the
above to it; thus protecting this city from for
eign influence and the corruptions incident to
the exercise Of the elective franchise by for
eigners.

Hon. EDWARD EvERETT.-As the time for the
delivery Of Mr.. Everett's already famous oration
upon George Washington approaches, the public
interest becomes warmer and more earnest. The
booksellers have even sold half their tickets,
and at the rate they have been going their supply
must be exhausted by tonight We are told at
the Institute that the audience is expected to ex
ceed FIVE thousand persons, one-third upon pur-
chased tickets, and two-thirds upon cards Of mem
bership. .tt..
The orator Ia said to possess a very clear voice,
with distinct and measured enunciation, and can
thus be readily heard by large assemblagc. The
presence of number of distinguished guests
will add much TO the eclat of the evening. Presi-
dent Pierce has advised the President OF the In
stitute that nothing but some sudden emergency
viii prevent his acceptance of their invitation to
attend. His coming, however, being attended
with the understanding that he is to haveno public
ceremony made therefor.
The Governor Of Maryland, the Mayor of Balti.
timore, DIR. Kane, George w. p. Gusts, United
States Senators and Representatives, the Chief
Justice of Supreme Court, and numerous other
public men are expected to crown the occasion
with their attendance. We have every reason TO
believe that Mr.. Everett will be greeted by hrger
audience and more distinguished company at the
Institute, than his great oration has yet invoked

these occasions certainly baltimore hmerf-

South Carolina is for Pierce, and opposed TO
going into the Cincinnati Convention, because
she fears Pierce will not be nominated, and
yet, if nominated, even though it be by a
filthy Convention" composed of dema-
gogues and office-seekers she will support
him. Then the whole difficulty arises from the
apprehension on the part Of these disunionists
that they may not be able to control the Con.
vention, because its material is such, that he
who bids the highest price will become the
purchaser Of the nomination. Pierce or Doug

H The Hon. Preston s. Brooks, of South
Carolina, in a recent letter says, South Caro-
lima will support "any6ody," provided he be
the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention,
and Senator Butler thinks South Carolina will
sacrifice her sovereign dignity by going into
the Cincinnati Convention, which the Mirror
says will bo composed of :" office seekers and
demagogues" The position of South Carolina
is quite novel one. The great question seems
to be, how can South Carolins Sag NIGHTS act
differently from the other Southern Sag NIGHTS
Some are for Pierce without platform; some
for him any how; some for anybody; and
some against everybody The State dignity
must bo preserved. Mr.. Orr thinks it can
only be preserved by sending him delegate
to convention of Office seekers and dema-
gogues;" another thinks it can best be pre-
served by going for the nominee, no matter
who he is; and third by going for Pierce. II
either of these alternatives will preserve the
sovereignty" of the great State of South
Carolina, wehave only to say, it is in no dan
ger. Not in the least
