This amendment is now in force, except the
words without being at any time during the
said five years out of the territory of the Uni.

act for the regulation of seamen on board the
public and private vessels Of the United States,
struck from the section. The object of the
amendment of lS48 was to allow seamen who

private vessels of the United States, and thus
in their business were necessarily beyond the
limits Of our territory, to avail themselves of
the naturalization laws but the person draw

Congress should not restore this provision,
making an exception in favor Of the seaman
and the soldier, it is not for me now to say, as

may be administered correctly.
From the parts Of the laws Of Congress TO

taken on the subject, and that the practice of
the clerks in issuing certificates Of citizenship
