To Foreign Born Citizens.

For the benefit Of our foreign born
citizens and also Of the Registrars vino
have not read the law under which they
are to act. We quote the fourth section OF
The registration act rsrbatim.
d. The registrar shall not allow the
name of any foreign born resident or
citizen qualified as aforesaid, to be
registered unless bis naturalization pa
neTs be produced and exhibited to him..
and By him endorsed with the GATE OF
their exhibition, or upon satisfactory
proof that such person is naturallzea,
entering in the sixth column the facts
and their suficienty to constitute such
person voter, provided that this sec
ton shall not apply to persons who
come to this country under eighteen
years of age. or to persons who have
served in the armies of the United
State or of this State, and been or shall
be honorably discharged therefrom
We would caution our foreign born
citizens, however, that the mere fIct
that their names appears upon the Reg
istrar's list will not be sufficient to pre-
vent them from being challenged at the
polls. It will therefore be most prudent
and expedient for all who have papers tc
hunt them up, or, if they have lost them
obtain the certificate of the clerk of tbs
court from which they were issued, OIL
obtain new ones altogether. You may
be registered without naturalization pa
pers, but the supervisor may insist upor
the exhibition of your papers before re
ceiving your vote 1t is we'll to be forti
fed against every obstacle and defeat al
the Vaccinations of those who would
deprive you of the right of voting.

Are Won REGISTERED ?

Make it a point to ask your conserva-
tive friends whenever you meet them
whether they have been registered yet.
Bring the subject to their attention and
keep it before their minds. The radi'
calls are relying upon the apathy of their
foes, and hope to secure a triumph by
our default See to it that every man
who opposes the ubiquitous and revolu'
tionary programme of the radicals has
his name registered as voter. Every
conservative citizen is deeply interested
in the result of the ensuing election and
owesit to himself, to hisifellow citizens,
and to the State to spare no effort for
the success of the conservative cause.
Let each man consider himself constitu-
ted a committee of one to attend to this
business Of registration, and urge it
upon his ueighbors If all our men
register their names, we will certainly
succeed If there be any neglect of duty
in this regard we will as certainly fail.
We are gratifed to know that ali over
the State the conservative men seem to
be taking hold of this matter III earnest
and in the right way, and We have good
reason to hope that the registry lists
when completed will contain the names
of large majority Of conservative
men But there must be no neglect and
no delay

And right here we take occasion to say
that we have been frequently pointed
by Republicans to the Presidents decla'
ration that "the exercise of political
power should be confined to loyal mel"
and asked whether we endorse that sen-
timent. We answer that, accepting the
Presidents definition of loyalty, are DO.
The President, long before making the
declaration we have quoted above mad
appointed to Office in the Southern States
men who have been engaged nthe rebel
lion, but at tbs time of their appoint
ment they were loyal men according TO
his definition of the term, and they are
loyal men to-day We heartily endorse
the sentiment of ANDREW JOHNSON, and
know of no person in this State who
voald be disfranchised according to the
| Presidents idea of loyalty, except those
who are trampling upon the Constitu-
ton and UNFOLDING the revolutionary
schemes of the radical faction,
If a registrar has doubts about tue
present loyalty of an applicant that 49,

tutiou and obedience to the laws, ne
NAV REQUIRE him TO take the OATH but
if there can be no doubt that the citizen
is now honest in his present allegiance
TO the constitution, no matter what he
may have been in the past, he is to be
considered a loyal man and entitled to
vote without taking the oath. 1t seems
to as that this is the dictate of plain
common sense.
