THE INSPECTOR OF ELECTIONS.

There is probably no town officer, in the faithful discharge of whose duty, the citizens of a democracy are so materially inter ested as that of the Inspector of Elections. As long as the unrestrained exercise of the elective franchise is guaranteed to the immediate constituents of our public functionaries, and its purity and freedom be preserved, so long will the patriot be assured that the republic is not in danger. Not so, if duties be here neglected or perverted, or immunities denied or impaired, at the very fountain head whence we derive all our free institutions and the peaceable pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. The greatest privilege of a freeman, is to give a free vote for such of his fellow citizens as he may think proper to select for office. And no greater political injury can he experience, than to be debarred from the lawful use, or defrauded in the constitutional exercise of this inestimable right. Hence the due execution of the office of inspector of elections is of primary importance to every individual in the community.

The act entitled, an act to regulate elections, passed March 29, 1813, contains the whole system of duties and office of an Inspector of our elections, and premises that all elections for governor, lieutenant-governor, senators and members of assembly, shall be by ballot, and be held in the cities of New-York, Albany and Schenectady, by Wards, and in the other parts of this state by Towns, on the last Tuesday in April in every year, from which the same shall be continued by adjournment from day to day, for three successive days, including the first: And that no person shall vote at any such election except in the town or ward in which he actually resides.
