From the Baltimore Patriot.
The late decision of the Legislature
oil New jersey, respecting the ineligi
bllity Of Mr.. seuTHARD to seat in the
Senate, must be considered an extvaor
binary one. Ii is, we believe. the frst
Of its kind And if taking office under
tse General Government. al Washing
ton, has the effect of destroy ing citizen
ship. we presume there will be found
some d fticui,y hereafter in Cling such
offices as they ought to be filled The
prominent men of the different States
| will be slow to accept Offices under the
General Government, II a feuperary
| residence at Washington should be al
nitted to Dust item of their privileges
as citizens in their native States.
| L. reference to this subject, the Ma
tionsi Gazette observes:
Citizens vine go abroad to tesde as
the representatives OF our country retain
all their civil and political rIgh,s. and
their children who are born abroad
must be considered az native. so far
| But the Legislature OF New Jersey has
/ decided that ethan of that Stete, who
! tat certain time holds a domcil at
Washington, in ordeF to fiji the post
( Of secretary Of the Navy. or any other,
loses his quality Of inhabitant of New
Jersey. and thus becomes ineligible 10
the Senate Of the United States. II this
is a sound decision, 20 time should be
lsst IN reforming the Constitutions"
