A Citizen and yet not a Citizen.

The present Democratic doctr inc enun-
cisted from head quarters, is death blow
to tie nuturaIized foreigners of our country.
The Anerieah Governments the proud young
republic, has not the stamina to defend her
own. citizens abroad. Secretary CAss,
seconded by the other members of the Cabi-
net warn all natura ised citizens rot to visit
Europe during the present war, as their
safety cannft be guaranteed as citizens OF
the United States. Says Mr. CAss. to his
German friend. you are good enough citizen
as long as you remain in this country. You
are entitled TO allthe rights and privileges
of a native born citizen and with q single
exception you are upon the same footing
with the native born CITIZEN. Then says
his German friend give me passport 10 my
native country, give me an acknowledge
ment that may show my counrymen, that
really am citizen Of your country Do
what. says Mr.: CAss. 'Whv, yes, you are
citizen, Of course, you are citizen of this
county, but YOU are not citizea, your are
cnly German citizen A 2asspor, will
not protect you. Your citizenship is only a
garb that drops from your shoulders The
minute you step without our limits Now
it seems to US, that if u foreigner loses his
citizenship BY leaving the country on bust
ness, he viii of course require to be ratu-
ralzed for every time he crosses the border.
If he goes to his ative country, snd by so
doing loses his citizenship in this,he comes
back as any other foreigner and can not be
considered citizen until natu-al:zeG.
The bald ahsurdity of this doctrine il too
apparent-yet it is modern. Democracy
How glaripely inconsistant with The -eso-
lutions in the State Platform OF that party,
cUmPlimenting The president on maintain
ing the independence of American rights.
1t was not so under the rule of Fillmore
The Democracy may forever sing mum after
this ABOUT the Americans going to deprive
foreigners of their rights, for they would
never disgrace themselves BY such imbecile
doctrine as this.

The Douglas Schism.

"Inspecto-," the able Washington cor
respondent of THEN Y. Courier and En-
guirer, regards the letter of Senator Doug
las as meeting the fire-eaiers, who threaten
secession from the Democracy in case OF
his nomination, with their own weapons
"In truth, he himself threatens secession
from the party, for, as he would not accept
a nomination rendered by a Convention
which may refuse TO sanction his view ol
its principles, it follows that he will oppose
the election of any candidate standing upon
a platform not conformsble thereto" The
same writer continues:
"Now, for the first time, does the schism
in the Democratic party appear really
serious. There is no material difference in
doctrine between Mr., Douglas and the most
extreme Southern leaders. They only de-.
mand positive legislation by Congress, for
the protection Of slavery in the territories.
Judge Douglas comedies that slaves are pro.
perty in the Territories as well as in the
Slave States, and that, as such, ownership
in them is protected by the Constitution
He refers all questions which may arise as
to the mode of furnishing this protection,
TO the Supreme Court and its subordinate
tribunals. Now, can any sensible man en-
tertain doubt that the Supreme Court is
more thoroughly devoted to Slavery than
Congress is! The Court is altogether
Democratic and Southern, with The excep-
ton of ore of it's members Congress is
already half emancipated. and there is some
prospect that it may draw the fangs of Slar-
cry, and render The Institution innoxlous in
Its influence over national legislation, and
at the same time wrench from the Supreme
Court its usurped functions. The doctrine
of Judge Douglas is far more dangerous to
popular liberty than that of Congressional
Intervention, and beside BY poisoning the
fountain of justice, has tendency TO bring
the Judiciary into odium and contempt. II
the Southern people were left to themselves.
they would soon come round to the position
Of Mr.. Douglas.
"The quarrel, then, is altogether one of
personal ambition. Mr.. Douglas is deter
mined to be President. Mr.. Hunter, Jeff.
Davis, and their associate salamanders, are
equally determined that he shall not be-
They have resolved TO pack the Convention
against their Northern competitor, and
against the sereled policy of the party. IF
they do not succeed in that purpose they
are prepared to protest ard break up the
party; if they do succeed, Mr.. Douglas will
protest and secede. That is the present
aspect of the war. As matters now stand
there is Southern Congressional Interven-
ton Democratic party land Northern Po-
pular Sovereignty Douglas Democratic par.
ty. These nearly balance each other, for
the first comprehends nearly the whole par
ty in the South, and the second will enfold
in its embraces what little is left of Demo
,crscy in'tle North"

A verJ Pretty 7 hing OF it.

that Mr.. John Holiday and Colonei Martin
