NatnraIized Citizens.

We had supposed that when a native
of any foreign land had sought our shores
had cast his lot with us-had solemnly
renounced allegiance to the country and
Government from which he came-had
complied with our laws and was pro-
claimed CITIZEN of the United States,
that he was then, and thenceforward, en-
titled to the protection of the Government
in all parts Of the world, precisely as n ma
tive born citizen This is the Republican,
and common-sense view of the subject.
But it seems that our progressive DEM
ocratic Administration don't SO understand
the matter Democracy holds that if a
foreign Government interferes with a ma
tie citizen the Government is bound to
protect him at all hazards. But that a
Natwalized citizen "has no rights which
foreign despots are bound to respect"
What would be thought Of the Govern
ment, if it permitted France, Austria, or
any other European power to seize our
native citizens who might be found in
those countries, and force them into their
armies to fight their battles and be treated
as the mere machines that soldiers in those
armies are? Such an outrage on the rights
OF native born American citizen would
raise such breeze that the Administra-
tion which would dare to acquiesce, would
be hurled from power in n moment! But
precisely this kind of outrage is acquiesced
in by the Administration in the case of nat
mra'ized citizens! Can any man see the diff
erencc? We confess we can not That our
readers may see the exact position of our
Democratic rulers on this subject we here
give the official Document:

FoRsEY evidently believes in the old maxim
that "repetitio est mater studtoriu,n," for every
once and awhile he stops and stands, like NJ SIS
on Pisgah, and takes both retrospective and
prospective view as to how matters and things
stand with his late confederates, the Democratic
party and james Buchanan. He recounts the
shortcomings of the Sodomites upon whom he
has turned his back, and especially those of Blu
chanan, upon the sills of whose door he has not
only shaken the dust, but the mud from off his
fect-and like the rancorous Carthagenian, has
sworn in his henrt that there is and shall be no
reconciliation. Forney ia gradually and gently
letting Douglas slide. Cunning dOgl that he is,
he sees that the man from Illinois is in the con-
dition of the Irishman's frog-an ambitious ami
nal that could notliv on land and died inwater.
He has found that Douglas is, day by day,
sinking from the position of newspaper lion.
He is no go, North or South.
But all this has nothing to do with Forney's
short recital on the occasion of the anniversary
of Buchanan's Inauguration.
Saith Forney in contemplating it:
Two years ago, this day, James Buchanan
took his seat in the Presidential chair the most
popular of our Chief Magistrates since the days
OF George Washington. All parties stood will
ing to trust him. His inaugural address was
accepted by every section with unalloyed pleas
ure. His long public life induced even those
who had refused to support him in sc, to re-
pose generous confidence in his Administra-
ton. He held in his hands the destinies of
happy country. He was clothed with rare nd
vantages; and had he been animated by a consc-
entious patriotism he would have consolidated
the Democratic party in every State of the Uni
OH, and have paralyzed and Frustrated all its
adversaries. Where does he stand to-day
Utterly bankrupt and broken!-his Adminstra-
ton dishonored before the world; the great par.
ty which carried him into office, after infinite
labor and expense, torn into fragments; corrup-
lion, like pestilence, so pervading every de-
partment of the Government, that Democrats
admit the fact with pain and shame, and Re-
publicans point to it with exultant indignation;
wretched financial policy; an incapable foreign
policy; Cabinet divided upon principle, and
united by the mercenary motive of selfpreser-
vation; no advocates 10 hold up or strengthen
his hands; no intrepid statesman ready to come
forward in the spirit of honest sacrifice TO plead
in its behalf before an outraged country; no
high-minded journalist devoting himself to a
vindication of his conduct-nothing but aver
sion and contempt

Da QuINcEY.-The NORTH american Rerielr,
in an article on De Quincy, thus describes the
figure of this remarkable writer
SIN person he is anything but prepossessing
being dminutive in stature and awkward in
his movements, with shriveled, yellow, parch-
ment skin. His head, however, is superb, and
his face remarkably sensitive and expressive;
the eyes sunken, but brilliant with the fire of
genius and the Examinations ofopium. In man
ners he is n model of decorum, urbanity, and
natural, unaffected gentility. He lisa magnificC Mt
tallIer, and fine reader-which last quality he
notes as a rare accomplishment, whether among
men or women. He is genial and hospitable in
his household. He performs set tasks ofwalking,
day by day, in his garden, and marks his pro
gress by deposites of stones. He has offered his
body, after DEATH to the surgeons for dissection,
as his contribution to physiological science: He
seriously believes that the dreadful gnawing OF
the stomach, which arises, perhaps, from the
collapse and impoteucy of that organ, through
the use of opium, is caused by the ravages of a
living animal. He is singular in his habits, Of
ten disappears from home for days together-no
inquiry being made after him by his friends
and returns as mysteriously as he went He
has two daughters, one of whom is married TO
an officer in the Indian army; the other and
eldest presides over the house, and acts as his
amanuensis.

SENATOR Mason on THE DOCTRINES OF SENATOR
DoUGLAs.-Our political readers will give an
attentive perusal to the following remarks of
Senator Mason, made in the Popular Sovereign
ty Debate in the Senate the other day:
Mr.. President, we have seen the doctrines
said to have been entertained by that honora-
BILE Senator, through the public Journals of the
day, for the last six eight months, not in
an authoritative form. They come before us
now in an authoritative form from the honora-
BILE Senator. / understood him to say that

sible that | can know, and | should think it

occupants of Territory for the time being; if

that is to be the doctrine in any platform Of
any party, by which let me repeat it, according
to the construction placed on that act by the

years, nearly two generations, are to be taken

Several of our brethren have said to me: Now

our churches, and we cannot stand against him;'
while others, equally anxious, want to know if
he will meddle with the topic of slavery" To
this Mr.. Corey said: "When Mr.. Spurgeon
reaches America he Will preach any and all
subjects that may please him. And when you

current and roar of Niagara, then, and not till
then can you put lock on these youthful lips
or dictate what Spurgeon shall say to those

"& thus obliege yours"

One of the New York Life Insurance Compa-
MICS recently came into court with singular
defense. The company had insured the life of
a wife for the benefit of her husband, and con-
t,nucd for five years to receive the premium
therefor. When the wife died, and the pay
ment of the money was claimed, it was refused,
on the ground that husband could have no
insurable property interest in the life of his
wife, and that such policy, therefore, was a
mere beta gambling transaction, and as such
illegal and void. The company evidently did
not believe that gambling debts were debts of
honor.

WE have something that looks like = spcck of
war between France and Austria, announced in
the steamers news this morning We are told
that France is preparing budget of complaints
against Austria, which can fairly be interpreted
to mean that the continental system" it is
called, is not working tremendously and that
France is paving the way for more perfect
tendency of her own prestige and power on the
continent. The elder Napoleon had no conf
dence in European system, us the record of
his St. Helena conversations and comments
Abundantly prove. He esteemed it as a sine qua
non to his own security and as an indispensable
requisite to satisfy French ambition and military
ardor, that her national influence should be
paramount in every cabinet from the Rhine to
the Black Sea. This has all along been the
dream of the present Napoleon and all his TACT
and diplomacy have been exerted TO that end
The fear of England, onlhis west side alone has
deferred him from demonstrations upon Austria
We suspect that the present ministry of Eng
land have now some axe of their own to grind
in whatever may result from any demand of
France upon Austria.

a MOVEMENT is on foot among several Of
leading spirits for the establishment of Libra
ry Association in Wheeling. We regard the
movement most favorably. and hail its almost
certain success as among the brightest omens of
wide spreading intellectual taste in our midst.
We will endeavor to explain the scope and pur-
pose Of this association. Most of our readers
are familiar with the term Library Associa-
tion" and we presume that most or many of
them know what is comprehended under an
establishment bearing this title. They are call
ed more generally Mercantile Library Associ-
adons," from the fact that in most of the princi-
pie cities such establishments were at first chief
ly got up. patronized and sustained by mer-
chants and mercantile men. The idea and plan
of all of them is this: To raise by stock sub
scripton certain amount of money, to be APP
piled as to give to every subscriber the largest
possible facilities for obtaining information at
the smallest possible cost. For instance, as in
the present projected establishment in our midst,
it is intended to raise by annual instruments a
capital stock of So, OOo in subscriptions of $50
each. A. d. or G. puts down his name for $50;
he agrees in the terms superscribed that on the
completion of the general subscription, that
is when all the stock is taken; that he
will pay over within ninety days thereafter, SlO'
md annually thereafter SIS, until all his sub
scription shall have been paid in. The object of
the first years installments will be, first, to fur
nish room; second, to suitably arrange it; next,
TO put upon its shelves a certain amount of
books, upon its tables certain number of the
principal journals, papers, &c, aud last, to pro-
cure each winter course of lectures. OF
course the first and principal object of the asso-
citation, or membership, is selfimprovement and
qualification. Yet there comes in, as incidental,
pecuniary inducements. In all the principal
cities there are several of these Library Associa-
tons, and, so far as we are informed, they arc
NIL dividend paying Institutions. large
amount is annually gathered from the Library,
in the way of dues from those who choose TO
avail themselves of its privileges, and still
larger amounts from the course of lectures
We continually meet with statements in our
exchanges, published in much smaller cities
than orr own, showing nice balances in favor
of the Association at the end of each quarter.
We have not space to-day to enter into such
u detailed statement of the advantages of an as
ISOLATION of this kind, rs we could wish. We
trust that the organization of the association
will rapidly go forward, and that we, like other
large cities and towns, may be permitted TO en-
joy the very many good influences and advantn-
ges which result from Library Association.
