UTICA, Sept 25, 1874.
Mr.. BENNETT


Having seen in late number Of your paper,
paragraph on the naturalization of foreigners, and
being desirous of information on certain points,
partly for my own benefit, and partly for the good
of others, take the liberty to state case tor
your consideration and to request you, IT convent
ent, to answer the same through the medium OF
your valuable journal, of which am constant
reader, and to which subscribe.


In 1888, X z. comes into this country from Great
Brltian, and Immediately on landing in New York,
declares his intention to become citizen OF The
United States, in proper form. About fourteen
months after this he leaves this State and goes into
Canada, on account of very severe sickness, and
by physclan's advice He continued to reside
there till August, 1872, when he returned to this
State, and here still resides. While absent he
did not his allegiance to the British crown,
nor was he sworn into any office under the same.
His actual residence in the States has been three
years and six months.


Is aperson, under such circumstances, entitled to
his naturalization papers and hisvote at the coming
election?


Your polite attention to this will greatly oblige


Your friend, l.. r.
