Without stopping to discuss the propriety or No
cessity of such an acknowledgment" as is referred
to- We will only say that, in q campaign like the
present one, when every who, enjoying the ben
efts Of citizenship, neglects its obligations, and
stays away from the polls, virtually gives aid and

ever disgraced any State city, every citizen who
allows UNCONVENTIONAL views on religious questions
to deprive the State Of his vote, must be classed
among the enemies of reform The best of motives
in such will not excuse this worst of actionA
Staying away from the polls will Not change the
Constitution; it WiH. virtually, swell the Tammany
vote. And the pulpit which countenances and sdVo-

the extent of its influence, aids the RobEe.s-Edl
