ss AARON BURR IN FRANCE.
In reference to my proposition to absolutely
exclude from the country persons notoriously
seditious, cannot forbear to refer to the French
government.
How admirable was the conduct of the French
government towards the United States on the oc-
casion of the visit Of Aaron Burr. He was one
of those perturbed spirits Of this world, who, be-
ing foiled at home in his nefarious schemes, and
Frustrated under the weight Of public odium, fed
for succor and countenance from his own to anoth-
er country. Visiting France where he expected
to find, amongst his combustible elements, ample
materials for his genius to mould into any shape,
he was met at once, and promptly, with the frowns
of the court--marked as public offender, and an
exiled traitor--and we have reason to know that
every step he took in France was noted by the
authorities. Even the French people, while will
ling to treat him with their characteristic civity,
rather avoided than lcourted his presence and it
was only in the dark corners Of the most mysteri-
Gus and gloomy parts Of the metropolis of France
that he could hold his reasonable levees. How
admirable was this conduct of the French govern
ment. True to her neutrality true to her ancient
friendship for us true to her national dignity and
to international fidelity, she observed, both in
spirit and letter, not only the obligations of rea
ties but followed those high incentives of recipro-
cal duty by which princes and nations command
the applause of mankind.
How striking contrast, sir, does this case ofthe
fidelity Of France present to that which we exhib-
tied Of our duty to Austria, upon the visit of N.
Kossuth to this country! forbear, sir to COM
ment upon the turbulent scenes which distinguish
ed that extraordinary advent. forgive all, to
:. the spirit Of liberty" and to the too magnanimous
generosity of mysdeluded countrymen. We will
grow wiser as we grow older Time and expert
ence is to teach u.s. that without stability there can
be no true liberty; without the observance of the
trctest duty in international recprocities there is
no national respect.
NECESSITY OF OUR ALIEN LAWS.
We have no sufficient law and no power to ban
ish aliens. We should have such law. Recently
the Emperor Of France has decreed the banshment
Of the Russians from the Empire. Will any man
say that such power ought not to exist? Will
any man say that such power should not be ex-
ertcd whenever tho peace and quiet Of country
should demand it The liberties of the American
people, the homes of the American people, the
rights Of the American people, are no less dear to
them because they have adopted republican gov
eminent; and republic is no less in need Of all
the attributes Of sovereign power than any other
government.
