AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT
The Right of Suffrage.
• We publish below a circular from the
District Attorney of Columbia county,
which we hope will receive the careful
consideration of every elation officer
and citizen in this county. Although
not. addressed to therm it is just as ap
plicable hero as in the district where it
is circulated. We knownhat the at
tempt will be made to prevent those
persons who left their homes on account
of the draft, from exercising the cicc.
Lion franobiso, and it is for the benefit
of the men who would thus deny filth
neighbor the right of suffrage that we
find place for the following. By it they
can ece the penalties to be ineurcd, and
they can rest assured.,that in Centre as
in Columbia county, they will be en
forced to the utmost extent of the law.

them, They are recited in the gentral
election laws, and these laws are thus nestle
to present the only questions whioh Igo
1111-1041 as electozel_qualifloations of
pebpfe. '
It has been alleged recently that non
reporting persons under the United States
drafts, and others who left their districts to
avoid being drafted, are not entitled.to vote
at State elections, dad that boards of elec
tion should reject their t. volei. But electiort
boards hive no right to reject the votes ,of
such personsomd no power try or deter
m% the . question whether they are in fault
or slit under United fltates laws. The
absurdity of stopping elections to try draft
questions, As manifest at first blush ; and
there is no law conferring each power on
election officers, or vegetating its exerqlse.
On the contrary, Were is most express law, ,
with penalties, 10 prevent any such depar

By the iO2B section of the General Elea

mentioned, it is provided; that—
"If any person * * • shall use or prac

violence, with design to influence unduly
or overawe any elector, or to prevent hint
from voting, or to rewersin the freedom of

By this section a severe punishment can
be inflicted on any person veliti!attempta.lo
deter an elegtor from voting by threatening
him with a prosecution or arrest, or using
any other intimidation or any force with
such object.
The pretense that Congress has prohibi
ted nou-reporting in& from Toting at State
elections is not true in point of fact, and
ouch prohibition could have no-effeet . if it
mate enacted. Congress cannot determine
who shall or shall not vote at a State eleo

Debt is death, living death, whereby a.

creators. Debt is a ,mortgage on one's
arm,:one's head; one's hands, one's feet,
one's muscles, one's body,'one's life to the
'mortgages. Debt, thus, is slavery and a
bufee, not only upon one's self, but 'if a
national debt, upon one's posterity. A na

of the people of ti, Unitegtates, that the
