cured class OF electors competent to dis
cuss and understand the value Of political
ptoblems. The IMAGES being excluded from
tie ballot boz, and only one-seventh Of the
adult males being allowed TO vote, elections
must necessarily be conducted In an enltght-
ened and orderly why. The elections which
have Just BEEN concluded in Great Britain
have demonstrated the supreme excellence
of the Englsh sy5tem Of dtsftanchisine sI1-
sevex'hs Of the people, keeping tbe polls
opsn for three days, and voting risu poce.
Bearing these things in mind, read the fol-
lowing description, from the London 1nues,
OF TIT canrats In Sheffield, where Mr.. Roe-
buck, :osy, and Mr.. Foster, liberal, were the
opposing candidates:
..A1. Roebuck snd Mr. Foster hsye siyualixed

We can but admire this mode OF conduct
ing an cleo icn-the candidate lays doHn a
proposition, hnd the respec able and enl,ght-
cned Britons pass on its merits BY general
kuock-dowu. Every proposition is eubmlt-
ted to the ordeal of HsticuHs, and the argu-
ment Of the candidate is fought out to 1osi-
cal conclusions by the high.minded electors.
While We are greatly pleased With the thor
ouchbess and quietuess OF this mode Of con-

prefer the ltte enlightened AZ less demon
