THE STANDARDIZATION QUESTION.

The question whether our Government
should interfere for the protection Of its natu-
rallied citizens, who returning to their native
land claim to be relieved from the pc, forn,unce
of Military service, is one which of late has
received pretty thorough discussion in the
public Journals, and has elected various opin
ions from some of our leading Statesmen. The
last publication on the subject is q letter Of
Governor WISE, Of Nirginin, in which he con-
trovcrts the positions Of General CAss rs not
setting forth the true American doctrine. The
European doctrine is, "once citizen, always
n citizen" and that birth imposes certain du-
ties and c.nfcrs certain claims TO his nlle-
glance, which the citizen can by no voluntary
act renouncc. In pursuance Of this doctrine
Great Britain claimed the right To seize her ma.
tive born citizens on board of American vessels
and its exercise led to the last war. We re-
sisted the right according to Gov. WISE on
the ground that the act Of naturalization puts
the foreigner on the same footing with the ma
tive born. and equally entities him to the pro
lection of this government.
But according to Gen. CAss, where tho natu-
aliscd citizen voluntarily returns to the Innd
OF his birth, he subjects himself To the laws of
that jurisdiction and to its claims for military
service. Eut Gov. WISE contends that this liza.
bil!v has reference only to municipal. criminal.
and commercial relations and not to political
Military service is political duty hclonginr
wherever allegiance is due, aud hy the act of
naturalization the foreigner is required to re-
nounce his allegiance I" any foreign power
In consideration of this oath Of Allrgiuncc
this government guarantees him the same pro.
lection which it extends to its native born cit.
liens. The Governor would thus exten'l pro-
lection in cases where Gen. C,ss thinks himself
not called upon to interfere.

lowing paragraph:

law Of that country: and we presume aresir-
deuce, ordinarily, frou the mere fact Of birth
But this presumption is rebuited, and com
pletely overcome. hy a change ofresidenee
