The President in reply set forth the

Registry OF voters.

We are pleased to learn that the Reg
listers in this County have generally
come to a proper understanding OF the
mode of discharging their duties =; and
that claimants for registration may APP
proach them with confidence Of fair
and impartial treatment. We urge
therefore on all who feel that they can
conscientiously take the required oath,
which we publish this week, to be sure
to come forward as their votes this year
may be all important. The supporters
of the President should see to it that no
votes are uselessly lost.
1t may be that in one or two oil the
Districts the Registers may adhere to
the false notions of duty which pre-
vailed last year; but, in such eases, let
none be inundated. If all those who
feel that they are justly entitled to be
registered press forward boldly VIC
think they will find that but few will
be excluded in the end. Should IT be
otherwise, the purpose Of the Register
can then be clearly ascertained and II
suits against him should be entered they
will be based on stronger foundation
What any man will do cannot be well
told till he is tried, Besides, if man
is to lose his right Of suffrage anyhow
it may be as well to have it done by the
act of the Register; and that may be
necessary before one can apply to the
Legislature for remedy. We say to all
who feel and know themselves entitled
to press forward and demand then
rights-lcaying to prejudiced Registers
no escape from responsibility
In Westminster District we are satis
fed that the Register now fully under.
stands, and will discharge his duties
correctly. 7 hat is--that the claimant
should be registered on taking the oath
unless specific charges arc made in wrl
ting and proved under oath. There Is
yet want of confidence in no district
we believe, but in Manchester and ia
this we have hopes il may not turn out
