EiGnrs OF NAruRALIzED ClrlzESs-As much
nisconception prevails with regard to the views
relative to the ights of ofnaturalized
citizens, the Secretary Of State has transmitted
dispatch to the Minister of the United States
at Berlin, in the case Of naturalized citizen of
the United States, a native Of Hanover, who
was neither in actual service in the lIanovcran
army, nor had been drafted to serve in it when
he emigratcd, but who was compelled upon his
return to Hanover to do military duty. Gen.
CaSs, by direction of the President. has deman-
ded the release of this man :liom the IIanovcran
government.
In this dispatch the doctrine of perpetual al
legiancc is denied, and the right ofcxpatriation
recognized. The Constitution of the United
States, it is affirmed, by comforting on Congress
the power ''to establish a uniform rule of
Naturalization" gives recognition to this right,
and Congress has, in conformity thereto, cxer-
cised the power. The distinction is repeated
and enforced in the dispatch between present
and future liability to serve in the army of his
native country by the subject OF a foreign State,
the forcrbeing denied and the latter admitted:

The True Doctrine,

We find in the Charleston Mercury an article from
the Richmond Whig. upon the state Of parties in Vir-
gnia contestng claims for the next Presidential nom-
nation in which Mcssls. HENRY a. WISE, and R. NJ.
I. HUNTER, are prominently presented.
From that article We select the following extract.
which, in our opinion contains in nutshell. the true
doctrine and position which the South should holt and
maintain in reference to what some, who oppose pro-
tcclion are pleased TO term "a slavery code" Certainly
WE Uf the South should not br willing to less
THAN such acknowledgement Of our constitutional rights
Short of S in our opinion, involves dishonorable

scrpulous majority to rule to detrimcnt and rin

than "jilst and equal protection" But TO tile ex:
