criminals oppresses us with taxes for their SUM-
lport, demorailzes society, and constantly inter-
rups the peace OF our cltlzens; and that the time
required by our naturalization laws, during which
aliens shall have been residents within the United
States, before they entitled to the full priye
ges of native-born citizens, is quite too short for
them to have become qualified to appreciate our
liberties, understand our Government, exercise
the rights Of suffrage with safety to our institu-
lions, or to be appointed to offices of authority
over us.
Your petitioners, therefore, most earnestly and
respectfully pray that the naturalization laws OF
the United States may be so amended as that all
foreigners who shall not have declared their in
tention to become citizens of the United States
prior to the time at which such alteration or
amendment of said laws shall be made, and all
foreigners who shall arrive in this country there
after, shall be required to have been residents in
the United States twenty-one years before they
shall be entitled to the rights Of suffrage; and
not even then, if it can be proved that they have
been guilty of crimes that would dsfranchise a
native citizen. And, further, your petitioners
pray that the power to grant certificates Of natu-
ralization may be confined by Congress, to the SUI
preme or the superior courts of the several States;
and, also, that some law may be enacted by which
paupers and felons may be prevented from being
brought to our shores to become burden upon
our citizens, to violate our laws, aad endanger
our rights, and the purity and permanency Of our
institutions. 4sa

ever pray.
