TIE NEW JERssr AnERIoASs--The State Coun.
Gil held in New Jersey brought together one Of the
most numerous and earnest bodies Of men ever
convened in the State. We copy the following
notice of 1t from the Newark Eagle @ sa
Voics of the Americans Of NsW Jsyssy.-The
meeting reported above was one of the largest
which has been held In New Jersey since the or
gan zation Of the State Council. Nearly every
portion of the State was fully represented, and the
resolutions, adopted by an almost unanimous vote,
express clearly and unequivocally the sentiments
Of the Americana of New Jersey. These resolu.
tons are the platform upon which we mean to con-
duct the campaign in New Jersey they cover the
whole ground and we solicit for them careful
perusal. , ,s
The formal ratification of the nominations Of
Fillmore and Donelson affords us great gratificas
ton. We we're confident that We had not mixtA-
ken the sentiments of our brother Americans, and
justified in giving them cordial and jealous sup
port. Now, friends, 80 70 work, and the State is
yours. n 1870 sa, gs.sv6 4
Modern System Of Naturalization.
Just before the recent election in Philadelphia,
where aliens were naturaized in the grandest sort
of style, some queer scenes occurred in the Court
Of Common Pleas. The Philadelphia Times gives
us some specimens of the manner of making citi-
zens in that city The class Of refereed to are
allowed to make Laws, hold Office, elect public on
cers while an American-born citizen, twenty years
eleven months and thirty-days old, can do no such
thing. Many who are thus naturalixed can neither
write nor read, and know less Of government than
children dozen years old. But to the scene in
the Philadslphia courts. Here are three claimants
to American citizsnship, one Of whom speaks Of
the Constitution Of the United States - "a Ba-
kerl" while the second calls it i" Citizen" and
the third characterises II q 4 monarchy ~
