New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1853-07-02

! Ut Qudlity lne foregoing statement OF MT. L re-
mier Marcy, contained in his late letter o
instructions to American Ministers and ConsuE
abroad, concerning their style Of dress ant
manner of conduct. IT, however, the Premier,
statement is correct and generally conourred
in, then is the door opened for attacks of the
most damaging and disastrous character To
the present Administration. If there is 4" an
obvious Improperly in deyolying upon for
eigner the duties which belong to al American
Secretary and of allowing foreigner even to
copy the dispatches and papers belonging to the
Mission or Consulship-as is elsewhere stated
then how much greater is the improperly Of
appointing to the highest of these diplomatic
stations foreign born and foreign-bred indiyi-
dualsi If the solemn oath which the copyist is
obliged to take, to allow no reasons to affect his
pre- fanto allegiance to the United States, is to
| be reckoned as invalid and of no account, what
is going to give extra force and credbility to
an oath of no greater strength, and no more
binding nature taken by q foreign Consul II
Pierre Soule's solemn oath in France would not
render him competent to copy Secretary Marcy
able State paper on the art of tailoring, We beg
to know what are the reasons which give to
Pierre Soule's oath in this country q force
qualifying him to hold the Ministership 10
Spain If August Belmont could not by any
means in Austria be allowed to supervise or
peep into the daily expense book of the Consul
ship there, We wish to know how it happens that
Mr. Belmont after few years residence as the
agent of a foreign financial concern in this eoun-
try, becomes competent to fill that very en-
bassy?
1t has been settled in the British Courts that
man cannot put off his allegiance by simple
oath of naturalization, any more than by sim
pie oath he can put off his father, his mother,
or his wife Chief Justice Ellsworth once made
a similar decision in the United States Supreme
Court foreigner having removed to this
country, and taken the oath Of allegiance, is, to
all ntents and purposes, while in this country,
American citizen. But neither England
Austria, Russia, Prussia, Bavaria or Spain adj
nit that one Of their subjects can come to this
country, be naturnlized, and then return clothed
with the same rights and immunties as an Amer.
lean born citizen.
Secretary Marcy thinks there is a great i'm
propriety in any foreigners being allowed to
overlook the diplomatic papers of this country
Mr.. Pierre SoulG is, by the law of nations, a
foreigner to this country while in the land Of
his birth, and Mr.. Belmont is a subject of Aus
tria while on Austrian territory. As the New
York Express says &c Our allegiance protects
them till they return to the country of their
birth, and then that country claims them"
We wish To know how our democratic friends
will reconcile the great improperly Of APP
pointing foreigners which Mr.. Marcy has an
nounced, with the appointments Of Soule to
Spain and Belmont to Austria
There are great many other considerations
tackled to this subject which we may take occa-
sion to mention when we have more time and
greater space, just now we want to see these
things reconciled-things which look almost as
contradictory as the professions of the President
before election and his appointments afterwards.
The democracy Of Nashville, Tenn. have en-
listed the powerful aid of Madame Adophe, the
g great sorceress and foreteller Of things to
come In a card which appears in the Union
and American Of the 23d ult., this valuable re
cruit promises, g from the experimental success
she has had in her profession, as well as from
her perfect knowledge of whiggish politics g
to perform wonders. Andrew johnson ~ hit,
alone, have been defeated by the wings hut
Andrew johnson and Madame Adulpne, CON
bined, are altogether too much, We have Nv
further hopes.
Speaking of the recent appointment of Robert
j Walker to China, the Delta says; g Mr..
Walker is certainly the man for this or any post
which demands energy, sagacity and industry
We are sorry that We cannot add to the list Of
MIR. Walkers virtues that Of honesty
The Washington Union says there was not
an abolitionlst in the land who did not droop his
head when President Pierce was elected .
1t is equally certain that there is not an abo-
itionist in the land who has not lifted his head
twice as high as ever before, since President
Pierce began making his official appointments.
