Naturalization LAVE,


Much damor has recently been made by
= certain class Of politicians, in reference to
A change, or repeal Of the naturalization
laws; and the cry is still kept up by the
new order that has entered the arena.
The public mind has been directed to
Congress, as having full AMI entire jur's lie.
ion over this subject, and clothed with au-
thority. by the constitution, to pass a law
requiring of foreigners a residence of TWEEN
ty-one years. before exercising the right OF
suffrage.
This is an error. No subject, perhaps
has been more generally misunderstood
The people have, in this been directed to a
source that can render no assistance, if the
change proposed be necessary.
Congress has no control, directly, or in
directly, in constituting the electors of even
members of Con sress; nor in determining
who shall exercise the ri sht of suffrage in
the several States. 1t is competent for the
several State governments, to bestow near
ly all the rights Of citizenship upon unnat-
uraliEed foreigners, by virtue Of their State
sovereignty.
They may vote in all the State and feder-
al elections; they may did real estate. and
be eligable to any State office; but these
rights and claims would not be recognized
in any other State, except BY virtue Of spe-
cial law.
Such a man would not be a citizen of the
United States, though enjoying nearly all
the rights af citizenship in a particular State.
It would only be by virtue of a general
natur aIization law, that he would be erti-
tied to the benefit of that provision Of the
constitution which says. "Citizens Of each
State shall be entitled to all privileges and
immunities OF citizens in the several States.
- Const. Art. iv. Sec. 2.
That Congress has no power 10 control oil
regulate the right of suffrage, and that III
an attribute of State sovereignty. is evident
from Art. /. sec. 2. Of the Const.
"The House of Representatives shall be
composed Of members chosen every second
year, by the people Of the several States;
and the electors in each State shall have
the qualifications requisite for electors of thu
most numerous branches Of the State Leg
isIature.
The several State Legislatures, therefor
not only determin, who are competent cleo
tors of these bodies. but Of the House o
representatives in Congress, as well as 9th
or federal officers.
Why then this cry for a general law pre-
scribing the time in which foreigners shall
be permitted TO vote. when such a law can
mot be passed? and why not leave thcs,
matters to The good sense Of the people, o
the States and localities, effected by, or suf
fering from the evil complained Of?
Let Congress pass a law prohibiting tn
landing Of p.upers and criminals, and sucl
a law has been introduced into Congress,
on our shores, and the voice Of not only ma
live born, but foreigners will rejoice at, ant
sustain the act; such law would meet u
approval Of every democrat. and satisfy al
honest men without joining in the cry, an
war whoop u the Know Nothings.-V ind

resolution from the legislature Of MiehigAns
instructing their Senators and requesting
their Representatives to use their best exr,
ertions to procure the passage Of Al act

Of slavery in any territory, especially Kan.1

TO procure the immediate repeal OF the act
of 1850. known as the fugitive law.
Mr.. Cass said when, some years ago, the
legislature of Michigan instructed her deI-
egation in Congress to vote for he Wiz
mot proviso. he said he would resign when
called upon to act. The Legislature repeal
ed those instructions; therefore did not
resign. He said he should neither follow
these instructions now or resign, and pro-
ceeded to state his reasons.
Mr.. Stuart said that sufficient INTO the

time came he should be prepared to act.

Reform in Pennsylvania.

The Know Nothings everywhere pirate
loudly abeut ''Reforms." The Pittsburgh
G ,zette, an infu entail Wing paper, bears
this testimony TO the glorious reforms iutro'
duced into Pennsylvania by the Know Moth
ngs:
awe see that The outward representatives
Of the secret party dub themselves "The
American Reform party" The first effort
at reform in this State was to create some
eight or ten new offices in the Legislature
with which to reward hungry partizans; and
for which there was not the slightest ne
cessity. A party at its very onset, quarters
d dozen needy followers upon the public
treasurer. at $3 a day for doing nothing,
is not likely to accomplish much in the way
Of reform

From the Cincinnati En- uirer.
The Politics Of orr State -Divis-
ion Among the Opposition.


" The New York Tribune Publishes a let
ter from Cleveland, in this State, dated jan
uAryIS. which gives an interesting account
of the division which has sprung up in Ohio
in the Know Nothing ranks. The writer
SAYS that the action of the State and Ma
tional Councils of the order in this city, last
fall, .has opened the eyes and cured for
life a majority Of those who had enjoyed
the inestimable blessing of seeing Sam in
Ohio" He acknowledges himself to be one
of the number who were ''taken ill.," Il
vas supposed BY great numbers that in adj
dition to attacking Popery. it was also to
assault slavery. The writer adds:
awe did not realize that it was defunct
Nativi.m, galvanized into spasmolic activ-
ity by means Of mystery, grips, and oaths,
and that the great question of human rights
was completely ignored, and its discussion
practically forbidden. The realizing sense
of these facts has cooled the ardor OF tens
of thousands, and from fever heat last Sep
TENDER the mercury in the Know Nothing
thermometer has fallen, in January, to tie
freezing poiat."
1t seems. that it was behaved that the
State Council would strike out the ~nativist
plank and allow foreign Protestants to join
the order, but it did not. The famous Ma
tional Council then met in this city, and re-
solved that the Know Nothing order should
BIZ "natioualized" upon the basis of igno
ring and letting alone the slavery question
in fast, planting itself upon the doctrine OIL
the Baltimore Democratic National Conyen-
ton Of 1852. The Tribune writer assures
that paper ''the majority Of the Know Moth
ings Of Ohio realize the downward tenden.
CIV of the order, AMI keenly feel that they
have been sold. Bat ferewarned is fore
armed. Already vigorous steps have been
taken to arrest the pro slavery and naisis'
tic march of the order.in this State. A re
formed order has been instituted: every
plank in its platform has been carefully Sc
lected for strength, soundness and durability

BEAUTIFUL CONSISTENCY. M H. Nichols,
member of Congress from the Allen district
Ohio. says:
"sollers, of Maryland, made a speech
strongly in favor of the American party
against foreigners, the temporal jurisdiction
Of the Pope, and all that, and took his po-
sitiou that the Union was in danger from
Northern and Southern fana.icisai, and from
corrupt politicians, and that the Know. Moth
|ings had formed their league for the sx.
press purpose Of saving it. Consistency,
thou art a JEWELL for in the Marylanl Con-
v~snlion four years ago, Mr.. Sellers invok-
cd the name and illustrious services OF La.
fayette. Kosciusko and De Kslb, against so
proscriptive a doctrine as the exclusion Of
foreigners from the empIoyments Of the
State" +"

The Prospects Before Us.

The prospects of the Democracy Of Ohio
are Frightening every day. From present
appearances we shall certainly carry the
State by a sweeping majority. A split has
evidently taken place in the Fusion ranks.
The Freesoilers begin to see that Know
N~othingism is nothing but Fugitive Slave
Law Whiggery under a new name, and the
presses and politicians of that party ere ev.
rywhere cutting loose from the midnight
dens. The Freesoilers will, no doubt, nom
mate Salmon P. Chase for Governor, with
A full State ticket. The Know Nothing
Wings will have a candidate Of their own,
sworn to carry out prosecuting and proscrip-
.ve teuets. The Old Hunker Slavery
Wings will never support Chase.
Under these circumstances the Democ-
racy must iriumph-there is 20 manner o.
doubt about it. All that is necessary, al
present, is for our friends to be true to their
principles and keep up their organization
Make no bargains or compromises with the
enemy. fellow Democrats. and you will
come out right in the end.-M. Rsrao'
Banner.

Saws He's Been Tricked.

An old Wing friend who fraternizes in

with a view Of preventing the Pope from
being elected President of the United States,
now says that be thinks he has been sold
out, since the Know Nothings of Baltimore
are admitting native born Catholics to the
privilege of their ords 1t is now pretty

who is likely 10 be the new Know-NOthing
United States Senator from Pennsylvania
II says:
"This gentleman entered Dickinson Col
lege a few years since as a student. As a
boy ia that institution, failing to attract at
%tention by his scholarship or strength Of in-
%tellect, he fell into the resoarce Of weak
m~inds--the vanity Of personal appearances.
His shobbish apparel and aristocratic bear.
ing did for him what Nature had positive
ly refused to perform. He was gazed a;
by the inhabitants Of Carlisle as a striped
pig or a well-dressed monkey would be,
and excited the same sort Of admiration
A native of that PARKWAY city, Baltimore,
be was proud aud boastfal Of his Southern
blood, and always regarded the Pennsylva-
MIA students as unsuitable companions for
a scion of Irish nobility From their pur
suits and association he kept himself aloof
His college popularity was about equal to
his scademic reputation, and both were Q
a mean character. To the surgri Of al
he made choice Of tie m%inistry as his 70
cation.
"Present appearances indicate that he
will be successful with the Legislature. A
lien to her interests and her soil, so deep
disgrace should be averted froG Pennsylya.
MA. II is doubtful whether he has reached
the age required by the Constitution for
United States Senator. His qualification
may be summed up briefly as follows: A
recent citizen Of M~arylani-an inconsisten
minister-an incompetent professor--frou
vanity an aristocrat--by design a ~demagogu'
