We can hardly think it necessary to urge
upon those who hold that Americans ought to
rule America, the Importance of having a paper
at the seat Of the Federal Government, which
shall enunciate and advocate the doctrines
the American party.
"A paper issued from any of the great centres
Of q nation, but especially from the political
Metropolis, in the present age, not in this
country only, but in Great Britain, France and
wherever there is the least freedom of discus
sion, is a medium through which those hold
ing similar sentiments in regard to public af-
fairs and public policy, may make known, dis
cuss and defend their views and expose the
impropriety ofthe principles, and the impolcy
Of the measures Of their antagonists 1t should
earnestly labor to give proper direction to
public opinion by enlightening the public

!, The AMERICAN is the only paper published
at the seat of the Federal Government which
advocates ,AmericOn doctrines; the only SEN
tinel of the party stationed where near and
clear view can be had Of the movements and
doings oftheir opponents at their headquarters
Here political information concentrates, and
from hence it ndiates to every part of the en-
pire; here party MEASURES and movements are
determined, and political campaigns planned; !;

ing and forever gyrating sos5 ~ 80; :,
Ifthe American party is desirous Of being

paper here through which II can make known
to all people its views, aims and opinions, and
which shall also refute the calumnies that are
from time TO time uttered against it through
ignorance or q less excusable motive; and we,
therefore, take hope that the AMERICAN, stand

SENATOR KENNEDY.-ALIENs.

We present our readers with Mr.. KENNEpY's
speechupon the Minnesota bill, giving his rea-
sons for voting against her admission with the
constitutionsent here to Congress, which allows
white persons Of foreign birth who shall have
declared their intention to become citizens
conformably to the laws Of the United States
upon the subject Of naturalization" to vote.
The ground taken by Mr.. KENNEDY il tho
right one and we commend him for his course.
We hold with him, that no State has constitu.
tional right to permit any man to vote who has
not become citizen Of the United States. The
idea Of allowing aliens to control the destinies
Of this empire-aliens who may become citi-
zens or may not, just as they please, after they
have thus interfercd in our national affairs and
perhaps elected President for us, and who can
not be punished for treason should thew levy
open war upon us, because they owe the coun-
try no oallegiance--is most absurd. But absurd
as it is, thosewho think they can acquire power
by the aid Of the votes of oftareigners, will advo-
cate and justify the practice, and even argue
that the States have the right thus to remove
alienage, though the power is given eroIusipely
to Congress- But we will not argue the cues
ton; read Mr.. KENNEDY's remarks, and his
extracts from Mr. Calhoun: =

The NEw NAVAL VEssELs.--The Washing
ton Star, of the 26th ult, says.
The Secretary of the Navy, as yet, has not
definitely decided whether the new vessels au-
thorized TO be constructed by recent act Of
Congress, shall be built at the Government
navy yard, or by contract with private parties.
The probabilities, however, all tend 10 convince
us that the former will be the course ulti-
mately pursued, and it is likely the eight pro-
peers will be buiit respectively at seven of the
eight different navy yards, on or near the At
lantic coast. The sidewheel steamer. is pre-.
sumed, will be constructed at one OF the Cali
fornia ports, as il is intended for service in the
China seas, and will thus be much nearer its
destination than q built on the eastern coast.
