no; SO long as he remains an American citizen
and amcnable TO our laws. he continues 70 retain
the rights of American citizenship. As n matter
of fact, is not his course in openly avowng
his purpose to vote in the interest of his native
land, TO which he intends TO return, more honest
and less open to criticism than the action OF those
Free Traders who, Americans and under the
guisc Of loyalty and devotion to American infer

Ut is extremely doubtful whether you have the
right 10 vote. You have certainly lost the right,
if it has not been your intention 10 retain your
last residence in New-YoTll and upon your return
you 60 to another part Of the city TO live. Your
Office address does not help you; that is not
your reside. Ed

You have the right to insist upon your con-
tinucd and uninterrupted residence in Ncw-lork

purpose to retain the city Of Ncw-lork as your
residcnce.-Ed)
