a DUTY THAT Is NOT OPTIONAL.
There is much anxiety among the
foreign residents Of this country, who have
taken out their first papers, the Conscrip-
tion law having decided that foreigners
who have taken out their first papers are
liable to military duty. The foreign con
sular offices are besieged with applications
for relief.
There is one and only one view to be
taken Of this matter. We desire to ask any
candid foreigner who has fled his declara-
ton Of intended citizenship, what advan-
tagc and protection he would claim from
this Government By virtue Of this act Of
his. Suppose him to have been arrested
with Martin Eostza, at Smyrna, eleven
years ago, and like Kostza threatened with
foreign dungeon. How quickly wonld
he tu1u, as did Kostza, to the Stars and
Stripes, and plead his claim for safety
under that banner The world admired
the noblencss Of Capt Iugrahan, who
backed by the guns Of the St. Louis, res
cucd citizen Of the United States from
the minions Of Austria, though the rescued
man had only fled his intention to become
citizen.
The whole subject was elaborately dis
cusscd at Washington between Hulsemann
the Charge de Affaires Of Austria, and 3ir.
Marcy, Secretary Of State, and Capt. 1ngra'
ham was fully sustained and rewarded By
Congress for his act. Now If this be what
The foreign bonn resident, in any such case
affecting lis personal safety, would in
shnctye]y, and Of right, claim Is
derived from his taking out firs1
papers Of citizenship, what is thu
converse OF the proposition? What dc
these men owe the Government? Must il
project them to the full extent Of its power
and still have no claim upon them for citi
zen duties to the Statee The case ia
p1ain one, and the man who would ayoif
doing his duty to the Government is no
only destitute Of the faintcst spark Of pa
triotisn, but his manhood and sense q
honor must have sunk to q low ebb. Th
Government will thoroughly sustain il
policy Of expecting every citizen to do b
duty, and enforced compliance will stan
where the voluntary article is not to be ha'
