less by Gen. Cass himself The Washington
States, however, employs one argument which
must be entirely its own, aud which that paper
confidently believes to be unanswerable. Here
it is -
eff a male slave of Virginia-one of Mr..
Bolts, for instance-were to escape from his
owner, proceed to Prussia, there become a sub
ject of the Crown, and subsequently return to
Virginia, is it likely that he would be restored
to Prussia upon the demand that he is Prus-
sian subject! The notion is too absurd to be
entertained by rational being. Old Virginia
would surrender her existence before she would
surrender him.
The cases are identical. So long as the slave
remained under the jurisdiction of the Prussan
law, or out of the confines of the United
States, SO long would his master be without a
remedy for his wrong; and SO long as the
Prussian, who owes military service remains
in the United States, or without the confines of
Prussia and the Germanic Confederation. SO
long is he secure from the exactions of the SOW
ereign in whose realm he was born"
Mr.. Bolts has not yet replied to this argu-
ment. There can be no doubt however that
the administration win deem it irresistible and
reward the inventor. Perhaps it will lead to
some project for granting Prussia, Austria
and the rest Of the royal governments of Eu-
rope, stringent fugitive slave law, and unre-
stricted right to hunt down every naturalzed
American citizen TO whose military services
they may lay claim.

credible number of his speech at the last ses-
slon and his letter is now telegraphed over the
country-we conjecture on account of the re-
markable qualities it displays, constituting it
something of nine days wonder, rather than
from interest felt in his opinions, which are
Wen enough known already His cant about
a slave code is as impertinent as it is without
foundation in truth. Judge Douglas either
Deleves that equal protection for property in

is the test, the following rules will be observed
l. In all actions in which money is the sub
ject of the suit, that is, where debt or damage
is sought to be recovered the dd dann,u in

A CONFIDENT ARGUMENT. The official
statement of Gen. Cass in regard to the rights
Of naturalized citizens, encounters much dis
setn and criticism. His doctrine is that natur-
alization in this country does not release a
man from obligations to which he NAV have
been sbjected in advance by the laws or de.
crees OF the government from which he emf
grated For instance. the Government of
Austria DEGREES that every man under it shall
serve in its armies a given term of years. If
an Austrian, before having served out this
term, comes to the United States, is duly
naturalzed, and makes among us a settlement
for life, he remains nevertheless under obliga-
ton to serve as an Austrian soldier and, if
he ventures to visit Austria on business. or
otherwise, our Government will not interfere
to prevent the enforcement of this obligation.
Such is the doctrine of Gen Cass and the
President; and cases are constantly occurring
in which American citizens, on visiting Eu-
rope, are kidnapped and compelled to serve
a term OF years in some royal army. A Mr.
Ernst of Ohio, who has been an American cit
izen some thirty years, has recently been adj
vlsed by the State Department to abstain from
visiting Europe in order to make sure of not
being kidnapped in this way by the French
In some of the German newspapers at the
West this doctrine of the administration is de-
nounced as worse than the Massachusetts Two
Years Amendment. 1t is very warmly dis
cussed among those interested; and it is the
theme oftwo long epistles from Hon. John NJ
Bolts of Virginia, who handles Mr.. Secretary
Cass without much ceremony, and with
most refreshing show of ardor and selfsatis-
faction. The Democratic papers at Washing
