Russo to "Roast Postum and Taters." Come
little folks and see the beautiful Christmas Tree,
for though st. Nicholas may not be there to pre-
side personally, yet his herald has arrived with
many beautiful things for good children. Save

Element OF the long vexed question concerning the

In connection with this subject the attention of
Congress is respectfully called to a singular and
EN- EMBARRASSING conflict Of laws The Executive De-
partment of this Government has hitherto uniformly
held as II now holds, nau ralizaion, in conformity
with the Constitution and laws of the United States
absolves the recipient from his native allegiance

the British Crown is indefeaSible, and is absol-

cite courts and law authorities of the United States
in support of that theory against the position held
by the Executive authority Of the United States.
This conflict perplexes the public mind concerning
the rights of naturazed citizens, and impairs the
national authority abroad called attention to this
subject in my last annual message, and again
respectfully appeal 10 Congress to declare the
tional will Enthusiastically upon this important ques
ton.
The abuse ofour laws by the clandestine prose
cutiOn of The African slave-trade from American
ports by American citizens has altogether ceased,
and, under existing circumstances, apprehensions
of its renewal in this part ofhe world entertain
