The secretary of state shall cause this law to be printed in pamphlet form, with suitable forms and instructions for carrying it into effect, together with the general election law of the state, and a sufficient number of copies thereof sent to each county clerk in every county in this state to supply each of the officers named in this act with a copy. And it shall be the duty of each of said clerks to immediately transmit a copy of the same to each oi the judges or inspectors of election in his county." In accordance with the above quoted section, the following collation of the "Election Laws" of this State, as well as the "Forms and Instructions," have been made, and in compliance therewith this pamphlet is respectfully issued to the citizens of this State; I have not considered it a part of either my duty or my privilege to attempt, here, any examination of the general law of elections, and have, therefore, confined the "Forms and Instructions" to the act, requiring them, known as the "Registry Law." But having received numerous communications regarding the laws of Congress, concerning foreigners who fought in the army and navy, and concerning deserters therefrom, and thinking it due to our citizens that these laws should be generally known, I have quoted the section bearing thereon. The term "town meeting," used in the "Registry Law," has occasioned considerable correspondence. For the definition of this term, and its uses, I respectfully refer to the "Compilation of the laws relating to Township Organization." The Form for "Registers" is omitted, because the Blanks are herewith distributed, as required. In the hope that this pamphlet may serve the purposes of the law, it is respectfully submitted.
