cheerully comply with your request present it to the
Senate oftbe United States.
The fact to which you aude, that you do not parci-

where the evil, whatever it may be- of which you com
plain, is most seDsby felt reason, my mind why
your memorial should not be received and duly consi

to the body to which is addressed but the whole subject
is treated in tone and entirely unexceponabe

been otherwise, the Senate might refuse to receive

gislave body and which lies deeper in the foundation of
civil society than the RIGHT selfa right

diately relate to the District of Columbia still you have
perfect right petition Congress regard to it. And
shall feel myself bound, at all times, to present
mortal couched in such respectful terms, from any por
ton of my fellow citizens.
With my present views, am not prepared to say, that
naturalization laws should be entirely repealed That
they may be advantagconsy modified, is very probable
and that povson should be nade by law to prevent the

NATURALIZATION LAWS.

We are pleased to find that the subject of an al
teration of the Naturalization Laws has been
brought before Congress. The Native American
Association in this city have now completed their
organization, and are prepared to take ground
with other sections of the Union on this important
subject; and we sincerely hope that our fellow
without distinction Of party will join in
the memorials which will be presented for their
signatures, and shortly forwarded to Congress.
All must deprecate the abuse of the elective fran
chize, which has become so outrageous as to call
for the presentment of Grand Jury; and all that
The Native American Association ask or seek, is.
that the question shall be fairly discussed upon
its merits, and decided upon national grounds
