geSy" The subject of the power of this govern
ment TO protect naturalized citizens abroad is still
being discussed, with warth, in every portion of
the Republic. The argument on both sides, has
brought us to the following conclusions, viz: If
we can not protect them, we practice gross fraud
in naturalizing them; but if we can protect them,
the locofoco Administration has shirked a high
duty, and is guilty of gross injustice. To create
citizen implies protection of his rights everywhere
the power to create is inscperable from the duty
to protect Ii then the Cass doctrine be true
that this Government can not evade, set aside
the municipal regulations of other countries and
that those regulations have binding force upon a
foreigner even after he he's taken the oath of ale
glance here the controversy is narrowed down to a
point easy of comprehension, and the duty Of the
Government is made so plain that none can misun-
derstand it. And what is that duty? To natura-
lie foreigner who has not performed the military
service required of him by his native land or who
does not bring written absolation from that
service. Naturalization without protection is q
gross fraud upon the foreigner well as the as
sumption of power which this Government can
not legally exercise without the consent of the
Government whence comes the candidate for citi-
zenship. This is clear case, and it behoves thi:
Government to take the earliest opportunity TO de.
fine its position and shape its policy upon this i'm.
portant question.

Mr. BRIGHT ON THE AMERICAN UYIoN.--The
London Star publishes full report of Mr. Bright 5
speech at the American banquet, celebrating the
anniversary of our national Independence; and it
may stir our pride and patriotism to read the fol-
lowing noble and eloquent language with which
Mr. Bright closed that speech:
With some it is favorite saying that the Ameri-
can Republic is but an experiment, and that if it
has not yet foundcred it may do so when the night
of storm and adversely comes on. But you have
had adverse winds, cloudy skies and political tenn
pcsts-almost hurricanes-and yon have yet great
questions to be solved by great people. / am
bound to say that, in my opinion, you are not an
experiment merely-you are an accomplished, a
proclaimed, an admitted fact. | know not whether
there be a man in England, or Europe or the world
who would rcjoced to your great fabric of free
dom destroyed; if there DC such man, he is no
brother or friend of mine. Such a man, should be
shut out from human society and brotherhood
Surely, if there be a thing for to hope pray
for in connection with the political condition of any
part of tie world, it is that when centuries have
rolled away when generations OF our posterity have
followed us TO the tomb that then your great con-
federation of States may remain as it is now a
blessing, and, as | believe and hope it may be- an
example to freeman in every part of the world

"There shall be no slavery in ths. State, and NO
involuntary servitude, unless for the punishment
of crime whereof the parties have been duly con-
victed.'
The above is a clause in the Kansas Constitution,
and thus ends the farce that has been enacted on
the political theatre, for several years past The
South has been sold by national democracy, and
the mighty scheme for making Kansas slave
State, was conceived in fraud by demagogues and
has only brought forth the Republican party
Like all the other promises, of the locofocos, to
work miracles for the glory of the South, it has
been tasiied, and like every other step they have
takenavowcdy forthe protection ofsouthern rights il
has brought it nearer to the point Of subugaton by
the ant-slavery party of the North. Locofocoism
Is totally unworthy OF the confidence of the South
its professions are hollow--its practices danger
ously mimical to our institutions

Tar HARvEsT.--Our exchanges from every por-

admitted that the damage was greatly exaggerated.
We have no recollection of any year in which such
unanimous testimony was borne in relation to the
abundant return which has rewarded the labors OF

posed that the farmers shall unite in grand har-
