The following letter is found in Mansfield's
biographical sketch Of the life and doings Of
Gen. Scott. ls.s A']a ~ q"
The General acknowledges that gears ago,
when America was convused from its extrem-
ties, to its centre, by the gigantic frauds prac-
ticed upon the country, through the operation
Of the naturalization laws, that he was in favor
of more stringent legislation upon the subject.
If we recoIect right he was in favor Of adopt

and others Of like political faith, winch were to
so modify the laws, as to extend the time Of nat
uralization to twenty one years. $50
This was at that time, a subject, which enter.

letter, that he was not in favor of changing the
principle, but merely entrcnching the law with
