CORRECTION. The Burlington Free
Press in publishing our notice OF the
noble act OF Andrew Jackson Woodwork
of Middletown, in providing for his in
sane sister says, "there is no such town
in this State, however; it should be Ct.,
probably" For the information of the
Free Press we would say there is such a
town as Middletown in Rutland County,
and it was at that place the transaction
occurred.

alone should make us pause; but it is not all. Ihe
experiment has not been tried, or 80 much as de.

themselves. In but few Of the States has such a an
innovation been allowed as giving the ballot TO tne
colored population, without any other qualhcations
than o residence Of one year. And in most OF
them the denial OF the ballot to this race is abso'
lutte and, by fundamental law, placed beyond the
dominion Of ordinary legislation. In most OF those
STATES the evil Of such suffrage would be partial
but, small as it would be, it is guarded by
constitutional barriers. Here the innovation as
sumes formidable proportions, which may grow to
such an extent as to make the white population
subordinate element in the body polite. -
