CONCLUDED.
There may he a reluctance in some ouar,ers
10 adopt The views herein presented relative
10 the doctrine of domic,l and CONSEQUENT ma
tionaity, lest the practical assertion IF il
might IN some Instances give right of protpc

are entertained that this doctrine offers f.
clllty for acquiring a NATIONAL character which
will lead 10 alarming abuses; that under The
shadow Of IT political ngitaioIs, intent upon
disturbing the repose of their own or other
countries, might come To the United States
with view TO acquire claim to their pro
lection, and then 10 return Ia their former
scenes OF action TO carry on, under a chanocl

the doctrine herein maintained, or in the his
