The Naturalization Question.

Reference having been made to the course pur-
sued by Mr.. Fimore's Administration in rela-
tion TO naturalized American citizens who return
to their native homes, we publish on this subject
the opinions of Mr.. WEBSTER and Mr.. EVERETT,
each of whom was Secretary Of State during
that Administration.

DEPARTMENT or STATE,
WASHINGTON, June 25, 1852.
Tho respect paid to any passport granted by
this Department to naturalized citizen, former
ly subject of Spain, will depend upon the laws
Of that nation in relation to the allegiance due
its authority by its native-born subjects. IF
that Government recognizes the right Of its sub
iects to denationalize themselves and assimilate
with the citizens of other countries, the usual
passport will be a sufficient safeguard to you
but if allegiance to the Crown of Spain may not
legally be renounced by Its subjects, you must
expect to be liable to the obligations of Span
ish subject if you voluntarily place yourself with
in the jurisdiction of that Government

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

WASHINGTON, June l, 1852.
SIR: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter to Mr.. Reddall of the 9th ultimo, inquir-
ing whether Mr.. Victor B. Depierre, native of
Franco, but naturalized citizen of the United
States, can expect the protection of this Govern
ment in that country when proceeding thither
with passport from this Department. In reply
have to inform you that if, as is understood to
be the fact, tho Government of France does not
acknowledge the right of natives of that country
to renounce their allegiance, it may lawfully
claim their services when found within French
jurisdiction.
am, sir, very respectfully your obedient SER
vant, DANIEL WEBSTER.
To j. B. NoSEs, Esq, New York.
Mr.. EVERETT, in letter addressed to our Min
lister at Berlin, under date of l4th Janury, 1858,
in reference to several cases which had been pre-
sented by that Minister, wrote as follows
''If then, Prussan subject, born and living
under this state of law, chooses to emgrate to
foreign country without obtaining the certificate
which alone can discharge him from the obliga-
tion of military services, he takes that step at
his own risk. lie elects to go abroad under the
burden of a duty which he owes to his Govern
ment. His departure is of the nature Of an es-
cape from her laws and if at any subsequent
period, he is indiscrect enough to return to his
native country he cannot complain if those laws
are executed to his disadvantage. Ills case re-
sembles that of soldier or sailor enlisted by
conscription or other compulsory process in the
army or navy. IF he ehould desert the service
of his country and thereby render himself amen
ablo to military law, no one would expect that
lie could return to his native land and bid def
ance to it's laws because in the mean time he
might have become naturalized citizen Of for
eign State.
'sFor these reasons; and without entering into
the diseassiono of the question Of perpetual ale
glance, the President is of opinion that, if a
subject of Prussia, lying undera legal obligation.
in that country to perform certain amount of
military duty, leaves his native land, and, with
out performing that duty or obtaining the pre-
scribed "certifcate of emigration comes to the
United States and is naturalized, and afterwards
for any purposes whatevet goes back to Prussia
tect him from the operation of the Prussian law.
The case may be one of great hardship, especial
y if the omission to procure the certificate arose
from inadvertence or ignorance; but this fact,
though q Just ground for sympathy. does not al
ter tho case as one of international law

Got the Best Of Him.

The elder Judge Burnside presided il
one of the courts of Pennsylvania when th'
memorable case Of Parson VS.. Parsons wa'
on trial. James Petriken, Esq, was on
ofthe counsel, assisted by James T. Hale
Esq. Hale was speaking. and having
made strong point, which the court chal
lenged, he said he could sustain it by cita
ton of cases from the books, but he hac
left them at his Office close by.
"Why did you not bring your books
here?" asked the judge.
Because considered the points 81
plain as not to need the support of othel
cases, but l will step over and get thu

AS Mr.. Hale left the house, the Judge
in pet, said:
"That man reminds me of a carpenter
who came to work for me, and left all his
tools at home. This court has forgotten

The Empty Cradle.

Every fold counts missing lamb, and
there are but few houses where there has
been no mourning over vacant chair
It is hard to part with the darlings Of the
nursery. Affection clings to them fondly,
and is reluctant to loose its hold, but the
all-wise Father deals tenderly with his
children, and removes their treasures to
heaven, that their affections may follow.
Many weeping parents will recognize their
own experience in the following extract
from an exchange: @
The death of little child is to its moth

gathers from the dark sorrow which che
has passed, fresh Frightening of her
hope.
AS she bends over the empty cradle,
and fancy brings her sweet infaut before
her, ray Of divine light is on the cherub
face. Ii is her son still. but with the seal
Of immortality on his brow. She feels
that heaven was the only atmosphere
where her precious flower could unfold
without spot or blemish, and she would
not recall the lost. But the anniversary
Of his departure seems to bring his spir-
itual presence near her. She indulges in
the tender grief which soothes, like an
opiate in pain, all hard passages and care
in life. The world to her is no longer
filled with human love and hope in future,
so glorious with heavenly love and joy
she has treasures Of happiness which the
worldly, unchastened heart never con-
ceived. The bright. fresh flowers, with
which she has decorated her room, the
apartment where the infant died, are me-
mentoes of the far brighter hopes now
dawnng on her day dream. She thinks oI
the glory and beauty ofthe New Jerusalem,
where the little foot never finds a thorn
among the flowers, to render shoe neces-
sary. Nor will pillow be wanted for the
dear head reposing on the breast ofa kind
Savior. And she knows that her infant
is there in the world Of eternal bliss.
She has marked one passage in thai
book, to her emphatically the word of life
now lying closed on the toilet table, which
she daily reads: "Sufer little children to
come unto me, for of such is the kingdom
of heaven.''

SAVING T1ME.-A clergyman, who en-

Patrick, with quite as serious coun-

they're singing, to peel 'em awhile to be

The reverend gentleman was rather
taken aback by this bright sally Of Pats,
and left with hearty laugh. 'gr.
