painful to an American, because they imply the
existence of ill.fceling towards our country,
and knowing as we all do that this Government
is more liberal to foreigners than any other OF,

that any can enjoy except eligibility to the

soon be without feather if he were required
to lay down rules and regulations for all those
portions of tho earth whence come, in welcome

MENT, xirh al The Boosted independence Of

PRINT its OWN NATIVE BORN CITIZENS to absolee
hen'seloes from allegiance toh!. Such is the
ruling Of the Supreme Court Of this Union, as
may be seen in PEERS Reports, to which refer
cnce is made in a note near the close Of the
Revised Code of Iowa. Citizenship implies
protection OIL orc side and rendition of duties
on the other, neither party being allowed TO
break the agreement without the consent of the
other, except in case of the forfeiture of citi-
zcnship by crime. The American NAV 20 to
Mexico and be elected its President, but if he
returns, to the United States he is liable under
our own construction Of national law to be
drafted into our army on the ground that sonce
a citizen always citizen" and this Of course
carries with it the power on his part to resume
the rights Of citizen without re naturalization
here. Gen. Walker plead "the right of cxpa.
triation"-he had been g President of Nicaragua"
but the plea did not avail him in the U. S.
Courts An act Of Congress alone will enable
US to throw off the duties we owe to the land of
our birth {; by remaining away from their "local
Jurisdiction"wc escape these duties-a return
to that jurisdiction rc-produces them. This
may sound strangely to tnnnyy>b but it is obsti
natcly True and since we, who are to the
manor born, are subject to the same disabilities
as are the people Of other nations, there is no
good ground for all this special pleading against
the statements of facts made by Cen Cass.
VIC hope the whole world will abandon the
absurd fcudaisn,s which disgrace it, but while
each country insists upon retaining its own fol
lies, sc had better confne ourselves to persua
sion than to the assertion of Rights which we
have not the power TO indicate If the Ger

attempt to win them by representing that our
Government is bound to 60 to War to defend
