Thi5 ia all there was of it. The NJ
pubIigans knew tia. thsrs were thou
sands Of parsons, mostly Republicans,
that had right to be assessed but
whose names we're not upon the Gsgess-
msnt lists, and they had the above
printed in half note circular and sent
10 ss many Of them az they kusw to
remind them Of their duty. 1t is couch
I'd ia plain, practical ard easily under
stood language, whish could not by any
ingenuity be miIoonsIrued by any map
of common intelligepos unless for
vicious and wicked purpose as has beer
done by the paper referred to. /. uot-
fed the recipient that: "Unlsss yoa
are assessed in your own, ~ soma other
ward or Hundred, you cannot vots at
the coming Presidential election" Now
see how under the inspiration Of Dem.
ocratic malignity apd fraud this sens-
bic sentence has bssu misconstrusd BY
persons not iguorant, for tAsy knew
better, for wtcksd purpose. Hers are
the comments
BY reading the circular carefully it
will be seen that they INFORM the recip-
lent that: "Unless you are assessed 10
your own, or Some other ward or hun.
dred, you cannot vote at the coming
Presidential eIsction." The dodge Of
the Republican managers is made ap-
parent in the words quot. d above. III
they fail to get their men assessed in
the Hundred wherein thsy reside, they
are determined to have them assessed
IN sous other Hundred. Thoy will not
vote unless their taxes are paid.
The sohene Of the Republicans is
mace apparent. Keep a sharp lookout
Tor them. Frsud should not and will
not bs allowed to triumph in tins State.
The intent of the above is plainly
Any man of common
'snss who knows anything shout the
,leCtiOn laws, knows that nsn may
i've in one ward or Hundred and still
)e assessed in another ward or Hundred
rom which they removed, and cous.-
Iuently the circular Informed such
PERSONS, in language as plain az words
'Ould do, that if they wers assessed in
my other ward or Hundred than the
ne in which they at present resided,
hat they had 10 occasion to apply to
's assessed at the City Hall. Sensibl.
usn will see at glaros that the real
attention of the circular was to prevent
'~rsons from coming forward who we're
ireAdy assessed in some other ward ,
: Hundred. When paper Undertakes +
