Democrat: Policy towards Foreign Born Citizens

| The letter of Secretary Glass; to which we
have already alluded more than once, to for
eign-born citizen Of Tennessee, informing him
| that his naturalization In this country would
not exempt him from the claim of military ser
vice in France should he voluntarily repair
| thither. ELECTS very general condemnation from
| the Repu olcan press. The Chicago Journal
thus comments upon this new Democratic doc
trine:
According to this our Government will pro-
tect its own citizens so long only rs they remaia
upon its own territory. a step beyond and the
aegs of our flag is of no avail
/ 1t was not ihue in the earlier and purer days
of the Republic. 1t not so when England
1 claimed military service " from its citizens
/ found on board American vessels; not thus W hen
/ the gallant Ingraham detied the guns of Austria
and rescued kosza from her grasp. Nor was
| this the doctrine Mr.. Webster laid down when
| he filled the chair now occupied by Mr. Secre-
/ tary Cdss.
| "The principle that man might choose to
what Government he would owe allegiance,
was, it thought, long ago established as a
National principle, for which we were ready to
/ fight. But it is made 10 give way to Democratic
policy, and our citizens under it can be i'm
| pressed at pleasure and made 20 fight the bat
ties of despo;s without 30 much as protest from
our rulers !"
Another contemporary says of it.
If jackson or Taylor were in the P-o=i
dontial ehrir, would guarantee that these
! claims of France, Austria, Prussia, dc, would
be very decidedly rebuked, instead of being sub
mitied to- as they are, by present Demo-
cratic Administration, meekly. The war of
! 1912 grew out of a claim akin to this, by Eng
( land. Our doctrine Is that certificate OF mer-
lean Naturalization should be 4 protection to an
American flag hoated over his head VIII Gen.
Cass explain WHY it is not ?"
