The PASSPORT Question,

Much fault has been found with the Secretary of
State recently for having declined, in pursuance
with ong-establlshed rule Of the State Depart
ment, 10 grant passport TO person of color,
Henry Hambedon, of Philadelphia,) about to
visit Europe; and the antl-admlnlstraton has al
legged that Mr.. Forsyth, when Secretary, took a
more liberal and democratic view of his duty. In
order to ascertain the true history Of the case the
Salem (Mass.) Register wrote to Mr.. Clayton on
the subject, and received the subioined conclusive
reply:
WASHINGTON, August I3
Yours Of the 10th instant encoses extract from
the Boston Post IN reference to the refusal of the
State Department to grant passports TO persons of
color This refusal was not in consequence ofany
new rule, or order, made by me, but in pursuance
Of what has been the settled regulation of the De-
partmenl before my connexon with IT, The old
officers of it, among whom is the chief clerk, who
has been employed for twenty years, all assure me
that this is the rule.
As to the two cases cited by the Post, | know
nothing of either, except what the records of the
Department show. That of Robert Purvis, in 1884,
liz thus accounted for. IL seems he applied to Mr..
McLane, then Secretary Of State, who granted him,
in the first instance, only protection as person
of color, and denied him the title Of citizen Of
the United States" So says a letter on file, from
Mr.. Robert Vaux, of Philadelphia. Mr. Vaux
adds
- MS INDIVIDUALS 1ntner was a merchant OF
great responsibility in Charleston, S. G. He left
him considerable estate, upon the income OF
which he lives as a gentleman. He was educated in
one of the eastern colleges, and is accomplished in
manners and well instructed. As to his African
descent, 1t IS scarcely perceptible in his appear
ance; his hair is straight, and many southern COM
plexons are dark, in which not a drop Of negro
blood impairs the tnge. He is about TO embark
with his wife TO travel in Europe, and visit his re-
lations, who live in England and Scotland. On his
behalf pray leave TO solicit for him passport in
the usual form, TO which as a free-born American
citizen he considers himself entitled, from the De-
partment of State"
passport was then granted to Mr.. Purvis, but
not as colored man. This, therefore, is no case
for which it was cited, but in accordance with
the rule
have signed more than two thousand blank
passports in FIVE months. After they are signed
by the Secretary, they are filled up by the clerk,
who never exhibits them to the Secretary unless
some question arises.
That the rule of the department may have been
ia some formerly overlooked is not improba-
bic, but Of the rule itself there is doubt But
should feel myself justified in granting projections,
IN of necessity, to persons Of color, which
would be equally efficient for all ordinary and use
ful purposes
Very respectfully, your obedient servant
