Gen. Wagener--Iminigration

1t will be seen elsewhere that Gen.
John \. Wagencr intends visiting our
town and will thus afford our citizens an
opportunity of conversing with him on
the subject of Immigration, a subject Of
the deepest importance at this juncture
in our affairs, and with which every one
should make himself fully acquainted
and take the hveliest interest. The &C.
ton now tskcn-wi decide the future Of
our Stale whether for prosperity or not.
Other sections of the State are awaking
to-the great Importance Of this subject,
and are beginning to see that the advan-
tagcs which will accrue from Immigra-
ton are of the most decided character.
Other States have taken hold Of the mat
ter with energy and determination and
must reap the fruits of their foresight
and enterprise, in large agricultural
prosperity. Let not this State then, nor
this District show backwardness in q
matter Of such vital moment. Gen.
Wagcner is identified with our interests
10 this movement and is doing a vast
amount Of business, and has proven him
self fully competent and fitted for the
work. l: is earnestly hoped the citizens
generally will give this matter thought,
confer with him during his stay, and be
ready to take step forward in this pro-
gross toward future independence and
prosperity. Old things must be done
away with, we want new labor, new
methods, new systems, ere we. can, lift
up from the slough of despond.

Our State exchanges, says the Char

cited on the subject of registration, and
arc shedding vials, not of wrath but
of ink, in urgent advice to the non
disf"anchiscd to be sure to have their
names written in the book Of political
life. Now We think there is no necessity
for all this. We take it for granted all
are going to register. The Importance
for doing so is fully understood and ap-
preciated by the great mass. Our pco-
pie are determined "to keep step to the
music ofthe Union"
We say let registration commence as
soon as practicable. Vote Convcntica-
send delegates that Will incubate the
Constitution that Will once more take us
back into the GLORIOUS Union-so called.

REGISTRATION IN THIS STATE.-Judgc
Aldrich, in a letter to the Mercury,
urges that every man in the State who
can register his name should do 50. He
says:
"Thrc are other matters to be passed
upon by the country, under the military
bill, besides who shall be members of the
convention. The constitution to be
framed by that convention is to be sub
mittcd to the people for their approval,
and unless the privilege of voting is Sc
cured by registration, the power Of the
country may be seized by designing and
INSCRIPTIONS men. ATy COUNSEL there
fore, is that it will be fatal Jlunder not
to secure this high privilege. If man
registers, be is not obliged to vote; if he
fails to do so, he mill not be permitted
to exercise this great franchisc.'
