May 1 ask your attention to one
other su bject9 Much is said about
the probable foreign policy of the
Presidential candidate. For MIR.
Blaine, it is claimed that he will be
more American and dashing. His
South American interference was
neither. OF course We know what
vote this claim is intended to reach.
I think it will fail. The vote is too
intelligent. The platforms do not
differ materially. The Republican
declares, I'VE believe that every
where the protection to q citizen of
American birth must be secured to
citizens by American adoption" The
Democratic platform is, 1.-THE Demo-
cratic platform insists that
it is the sole duty of
this Government to protect with zeal,
fidelity and vigilance the rights OF
the citizens, native and n~aturaliZed,
at home and abroad. 1t is an inn
perative duty of this Government
to efficiently protect all the rights of
persons and property of every Amer
a citizen in foreign lands and de-
mand and enforce a full reparation for
any invasion thereof" Let the mer-
it of this claim be decided upon by
the comparison and contrast of two
cases, one under a Democratic ad-
ministration and the other under
MI. Blaine's, as Secretary of State.
In 1874, Martin Kozla was engaged
in the Hungarian revolt against f.,
Austria. Upon the suppression of 1
the revolt he became a refugee, and
sought al asylum and a home in
the United States. He declared his
to become q citizen of this
country. In 1854, without having 1
his naturalization, he re- [
turned to Europe. At Smyrna he |
was seized by the Commissioners of ,
and carried on board an Aus /
trian vessel of war. His release was I
by American officials and ,
refused. At once Captain Ingraham r
of our navy, prepared his sloop of 8
war, the st. James, for action and
would have destroyed the
Austrian vessel had not
terms been agreed to whereby
was placed IN the charge of the ,
government to abide the !
of the question. 1.-THE cor |.

Die Of u historians, Twas one of the 9
ablest on record, and extended before 1

part of Austria by the Minister at
Washington, Barren HUFFMAN, and
the part of the United States by $

American" The same p
writer says Mr.. Marcy was triumph p
in his argument and Kozla re- Y
handed to the United States. You L
viii observe that Martin Kozla was Il
lot an American citizen. He had p
My declared his intentions to be- [
,ome such and that his return to tt
was voluntary on his part. q,
lis case would not fail within Il
letter of either platform. The {
'iatforms speak only of citizens tt
dopted and native. In the CORE lie
pondence the right of expatriation s.
ecame established, and what was b
aore important, possibly, that right jo
held to include the period be-
ween the settlement of the emigrant Ii
nd his declaration of lnten- re
ion and the admission k1
, citizenship. MI. Marcy said that bl
q result is that Kozla acquired te
