As among those who prefer the honor of the
country to the interest of party, and would rejoice
to see the Government right, even against party
prediction, we confess to some apprehension when
we see the columns of the leading journal of the
dominant party, and the reputed exponent of the
Executive opinions, occupied through successive
numbers in gravely defending the proposition, at
variance with law and usage and the whole theory
of our system of Naturalization and, we might add,
of common sense, that IAN alien who may have
/" declared his intentions according to legal form
/" becomes instantly and by that act entitled to
" every protection against outrage which American
{" laws and American arms owes to the citizen J"
and, further, that "quoad foreign Governments
/" no distinction can be made between citizen of
/" the United States Of full franchise and one Of
partial franchise"
We should be sorry to see our Government as
Stunning ground so questionable, and we hope that
the official exposition which the Union announces
as forthcoming will not be found asserting prin-
ciple unsustained by existing laws, and which
we cannot expect European nations to acquesce in,
until they are prepared to change the whole frame
of their own laws and relinquish to our supremacy
their own prescriptiyc principles and usages. As
regards our own law we hold the doctrine to be
negai IA as regards the rights and Obligations Of
other nations to be impoTfurs Ear this reason Il i
that we deprecated the adoption OF so untenable a
principle by the great party of which the Union is
the organ and it is for this that we are glad to see
high Democratic authority arrayed against it. for
very intelligent writer in the Richmond Enquirer,
in defending the Attorney General from the i'm
putcd paternity of SO grave blunder, says that
the doctrine laid down in, the above quotation
" is absurd"
