ing all citizens of the town who are entitled
to vote at the municipal election on
Monday, the 2ud of May. The books of
registration are opened mainly to comply
with the requirements of the Fifteenth
Amendment, in giving an opportunity to
the colored men to register. Let them see
to it that they participate in the rights
accorded them, not that the election of
Town Commissioners is of any great i'm
pertance under the present clumsy corpor-
alton law, but the right wrung from a
proud and proscriptive enemy in the inter
est of freedom is of infinite value, and
those who are to enjoy it for the first time
should learn to appreciate the inestimable
boon at its true worth, measured by the
oceans of blood it cost to establish the right
of self government SO firmly, that even the
gates of hell shall not prevail against it
Let every man who has the legal right to
vote at the town election, see that his
name is on the registry list, and when the
day arrives, cast his first ballot. The sim

of freedom, will he like words of good cheer
