The Administration and Natural
ICED Citizens.

The European Times having announced
that some of the German States, the subject
having been brought 10 their attention by the
Government of the United States, disclaim
the right of forcing Germans, who may have
awaited themselves OF our natuI alization
laws, into their armies on their return, on
pisit, to their native soil, democratic presses
are claiming great credit due TO the adj
ministration. This is monstrous claim.
The question is one OF too recent investiga-
ton, for any one who is. even in the smallest
degree postcd, to be deceived in regard To
the true state of the case. The Administra-
tion deserves no credit. Whatever it has
done to effect a change in the policy of
German States. has been done under compul-
sion. 1t was driven by the just and enlight-
ened public sentiment of the country, to
abandon its position and advance to one
more in conformity with the rights and char
acter of a great nation capable of and will
ling to protect her citizens. 1t would be
we'll for democratic boosters to recur 10 the
positions of the administration as disclosed
in the letters of Gen. CAss, before they pro-
coed further in their laudations of the result
of its diplomacy. We will furnish them
.'birds-e eye" view of those positions. Here it

tomac for Railroad purposes-and they concu-
ded that farther North the thing would soon be
ACCOMPLISHED! | quietly asked them why 10
bridge had ever been built over the Susquehar-
ma. at Havre de Grace, where for twenty-five
wears, or more. mails and passengers had been
crossing in boats, and sometimes on the ice,
when the boat could not stir. They could not
answer the question, and, therefore, dropped the
subject Had they continued the subject,
should have called their attention to the Della
ware at Philadelphia, and the Hudson at New
York, and asked for the bridges there. At the
first place, Philadelp hia, travellers have mid
night ride of miles in omnibusses, over the rough
pavements through the city, to say nothing of
the miserable noise and rattle, almost deafcnlng
vastly more annoying than the ride from Al
exandria to Washington, even in an omnibus,
over a smooth gravel road Why, then, block
up the Potomac with bridges any more than the
others named? Simply, suppose, because she
has no New York or Philadelphia on her banks.
There is neither justice nor reason in croakirg
about gaps and delays at one point, when the
same, or worse, exist at other places. If I'M
derstand it, all the Orange and Alexandria road
wants, is as quick a transit from this place to
Baltimore as possible for its mails and passen'
gers. l respectfully suggest if the scheme OF
building road from some point on the Balti-
more and Washington road, to some point on
the Maryland side of the Potomac, opposite
Alexandria, be not speedily carried out, that a
move be Immediately made to form a connection
with the Baltimore and Potomac Road by a
branch road to Marlboro from the Maryland
shore, opposite Alexandria, il distance of some
ten to twelve miles, and over very favorable
ground, as am crcdibly informed. This, while
subscribing the purposes before stated, will lie
the very best scheme for Alexandria, as by it
we will have chance to get back some of the
Maryland trade which has been nearly all lost
for want of some reliable way of crossing the
Potomac River-the ferry accommodations be-
ing almost burlesque Unless something OF
this sort is done the whole will go to Baltimore,
where now good deal is forced to 90 from ne
cessity. I alude more particularly, to the To-
bacco trade, which, [ am told, once came to
Alexandria, but now goes to the former by way
Of the latter, and why? When will Alexandra
ans wake up to their true interests? I merely
throw out these suggestions, hoping some wiser
head and ADLER pen will take hold of the subject,
and do it full justice. A goose, tbs said, once
saved Rome. l see no reason why all the roads
in the United States shall be forced to pass
through one place.

PRINCE GEoRGE's AND ALExANDR1A.-A cor
respondent of the Alexandria Gazette takes
new view of the railroad question" by which
that city has been lately so much exercised
He does not see why all the connections north
ward, should, necessarily, pass through Wash
ington, nor why the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad should be so much opposed by his
people. His proposition to build road from
Alexandria to Upper Marlborough, there to unite
with the former, would seem to offer more adj
vantages to that place than any other route
He says:
It is truly astonishing, and not little anus
ing to listen to the clamor about the Railroad
connection between Alexandria and Washing
ton as if this were the only gap to be filled, and
the only place for delay between New Orleans
and New York, On my way to Baltimore, a
short time since, overheard conversation be-
tween two of my fellow-travelcrs, upon this
subjcct-nore particularly the bridging the po-
