in every age, and upon all mankind. But the
christian nations Of Emonc, and their descend
ants on this side Of the Atlantic, by the vast supe-
riority o(ther attainmen,s in arts and science, and
commerce, as well as in policy and government ;
and above all BY the brighter light, the more
certain truh and the more definite sanction,
which christianity has communicated to the ETH.
cal Jurisprudence the ancents, have established
law of nations peculiar to themselves. They
form together community of nations, united by
religion, manners, morals, humanity and science;
and united also by the mutual advantages Of com
mcrcial intercourse, by the habit OF forming al
ianccs and treaties With each other olinerchang-
ing ambassadors and ol studying and recognizing
the same writers and systems Of public law. =

We have seen that il is general and moral
doctrine which has been established by the gov
ernments Of Europe, even by that Of the French
Republic, thata citizen sub jcc,cannolah lure the
allegiance he owes 10 his native country, without
eliminating himself, and rendering himself sub
ject to the penalty OF high treason. The laws o
naturalization being indueive to foreigners 10 be
come guilty towards their native country, arc
thereby in direct conflict with the fundamental anc
internal laws of other nations, with which we arc
tied by the law of nations. Then il is shame
full di>gracelul moral bride, pracliced agains
men, for none but such can pretend TO say, tina
they did not know they were born bound forever
to their native county. And as well i'll that case
as in the case which is relative TO those whc
know their national bands and that by getting
naturalize; in the United States, they become
traitors to their native country 10 doubt, that by
na,uralizing them, it is on the part Of the Ameri.
can Government becoming accessory before the
fact to that treason or rather party thereto. i
it not demonstrated to the full satisfaction and
conviction Of the candid opponent, that the nat
eradication lars are contrary to the htc Of ma
tons? Undoubtedly.
Sd Because naturalization has no tendency
nor, but TO demoruii@e the people Of the Unitea
Siates.'
II has been demonstrated beyond all Kind o
doubts, that besides very small number of cm.
grants on the territory Of the United States, who
really men Of indcpelNlant fortunes, or indus
trious and laborious men, and men Of good steady
habits, and good morals, we have received in our
population crowds myriads Of Migrants without
industry OF profession Of any kind. Our cities,
highways, villages, are nowadays covered with
foreign bcrgars, while twenty years ago only, ii
was lususnaturp; whole families ofbeggars are
seen every where, father, mother with q badly at
her Breast leading some six eight children
Nay, in every street or passage in New Orleans,
the active industrious passerby is arrested ; his
way is barred by those vagabonds, that have
been thrown on the levee, in spite Of all our laws
against Migrants and captains importing them
The impudence and boldness of those beggars
is SO unbounded that, if they find the outdoor Of
an alley house open, they do not hesitate to pen
citrate as high or Us far as they can, until they
are pcrchance met by some body Of the house.
How many instances of larceny take place in our
city every day. Let us read the daily reports Of
the three Recorders Of the city, and then let us
reflect upon this Presidential immigration. This
immigration of low, brute-ke people is moral
infection, which, more or less does operate upon
the poorest class Of our population, which our
Legislatures Of every State are vainly cndeayor-
ing to raise, by educaion to the blessings Of our
political and national rights The pcnilcnliaries
Of the whole Union exhibit the uncontrovcrted
force the laws regulating the landing Of foreign
truly become the refugilm pecatoruna, the Bot
any Bay Of the whole Of Europe.
Some Of the European powers, as we have
seen by the information Of our Consuls, and we
learn it every day, in violation Of the law Of ma
tons, have degraded themselves, not only by suf-
fcring associations tc be formed for the express
purpose Of sending here, their plague of lazy
paupcrs, bat they have sent their cu]pris, who
have been Struggled and put on shore, after lav-
ing been guarded and kept in irons until tho very
moment Of landing. Should the United States
Government relaate, what cutlery would they
make.
These facts call the sober attention Of all honest
Americans, whether naturalized or native, and we,
hope they will all unite in excaiming the natur-
alizatlon laws ought to be repealed: BECAUSE
NATURALIZATION IS NO MORE ExpEDIENT; BUT, on
TIE CONTRARY is OPPOSED TO THE DEcoRUos Po-
LITIcAL STANDING OF THE NATION BECAUSE
NATURALIZATION IS CONTRARY TO THE LAW OF
NATIONS: BECAUSE NATURALIZATION HAS NO
OTHER TENDENCY NOW, BUT TO DEMoRALIzE THE
PEOPLE or THE UNITED STATES.
And the sooner the better.
