CoNGREsS-THE DELEGATE FROM
FLORIDA.

We perceive from our Congressional pro.
ceedings OF yesterday that Mr.. JOS, PHI r.. lnger-
soil presented memorial contesting the seat of
the Hon. David Levy, upon the ground, as stat
ed 40 lhe memorial, Of his be ng an alien, IA
consequence Of his fathers noncompliance
with h naturalization la VS. upon The ce 5 on OF
Flor da IL The United States by S. ali. Tn.
nurob Delega.e, al he Time IT ht cessloh,
wa a mere youth. consequ nly he has grown
up 10 u,anh cd uuder The n ttutons oi our Re
pull can Gov, rnment, 10 which he Is ardent,y
attached. He is not a citizen OF any other coUn~
TRY, undrr he naturalization laws, from The ju-
dicla decree Of The tribunals oil Florida which
decree Is su stained by The opinion of the Ator~
ney General; consequently we ale unable 10
come TO any Other conclusion than that This me-
mortal is the mere private opinion OF those who
are governed by personal, political, and vindic-
tive motives, rather than the purity Of the laws
of naturalization. This same subject was pre-
scented TO The last Congress, which The honor
able Delegate met IN manly and dSnihed
manner, and the result of their deliberations, af-
ter full investigation of the subject, sustained
the decree o the judicial tribunals of Florida
and the opinion of the Attorney General, and
declared him duly elected Delegate from Flo
rda according 10 the Constitution and laws Of
the United States. Since This decision of
Congress, he has been returned as Dele
gate from Florida with largely increased
vote, which not only susains the decision of
Congress, but fully approves the genIlemany
nd fait MI of Mr. fher 1,l
gate; and, in our opinion, no further notice
should be taken Of the subject by Congress, thus
consuming the time and money of the nation in
reviewing former decision made by that body
after an impartial investigation.

there was awful sponsibllIty resting upon
those who tolerated this nvldious course of DESTROY
