LINCOLN IN NRw YORK.
TIC New York Tribune, in publishing letters
from tic prominent Republicans who replied
to invitations to attend tue Jefferson Birthday
Celebration in Boston, onlits tic letter Of Hon.
i. LINCOLN, Of Illinois. Whether the Rcpub-
licansm to which TINT gentleman gives utter
ancc is unsuited to the appetite Of that dis
organizing sheet or whether it dislikcd 10 rom
tE:s, Ills sentiments with its recent support Of
Douglas. we do not care to inquire. Sufficient
FIR Iii is tie on,;ssion-a part and parcel Of
the policy which the Tribune las pursued To-
ward Que Of the abless ntld Wlrcst Republicans
in the Union, since lie dared to oppose the
nominee Of that sllce. for United States Ss:na-
tor from Illinois. We state the fact only; VIC
da mt complain.
A REGISTRY LAW.
The Legislature Of New York las just
enacted 4 Registry Law which, in the opinion
Of its friends, will prevent illegal or fraudulent
vo1ing; but which, according 10 our poor idea
Of tic necessities oc that Commonwealth, is
quite insufficient to cure the evils Of which MI
fonest men in that State complain. 1t pro-
viies,
lst. That the names Of all voters within the
personal knowledge Of the Commissioners, ap-
1"'intcd for the purpose, shall he registered
prior to the day Of election.
ID. That tile failure Of the voter to secure
the registration Of lis name shall lc nu bar to
Ills exercise Of the elective franchise.
3D. That when 1. voter presents his ballot
at the polls, if his name is not inscribed on the
Registers books, he shall swear that lie is
legal voter Of the ward or district in which tic
ballot is offered, and his oath shall bc srlstaE
tiated By similar oath Of some householder
of tue ward or district in which lie claims 10
live
With clear Republican majority in both
branches Of the Legislature, and with Re-
publican Governor in tie Executive Chair,
j, is T. source Of wonder TO Western men
nf like faith, why their party friends III
