THE VOICE OF REVOLUTIONARY MARYLAND.


One of the wrongs prominently forth in the immor-
TIL protest and declaration of July ath i7T6 was that
He 1.-THE King of Great Brittany has endeavored to pre-
vent the population of these States for that purpose
sructng the laws for the naturalization Of foreigners and
refusing TO pass Others to encourage their migration
hither"
The act of Parliament referring to naturalization had
passed few years before that bein f3 George r. and
enacted that all foreign Professionals and Jews upon their
residing seven years in the American Colonies without
being absent than two months at time on taking
the oath of ajuGoa and allegiance could be nauraized
Thus it the very injury soenlnly protested
against the very wrong assigned Of the for
taking up and seyering the tie that bound the
mother country, was this prohibition against Roman
Catholics becoming citizens of these colonies The terms
Of the law" All Professionals and Jc,csa as well as the
oath of abra,ionexpressy and entirely excluded them
from the acquisition Of the rights of citizenship Blu, the
Congress of 1875 thought that Roman Catholics were as
much entitled to such rights foreign Protestans aud
Jews and accordingly solemny protested the world
against their prescription.
The legislature of Maryland reiterated the sentiment
and placed the statu,e-book In july 1870 they
enacted (ITTe, chapter 81 as follows
Whereas the increase Of people is means 10 advance
the wealth and strength OF this State and whereas many
