ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE. and felt by our people, and its tone is as Fellow-Citizens oj Pennsylvania temperate as its language is firm. I am We now proceed to present to you, as ■ willing to admit that it is somewhat in briefly as circumstances will permit, the advance of the position held by preceding views entertained, as the State Committee administrations ; but we must remember believe, by the Democracy of the State and such has been the wonderful progress of of the Nation, respecting the rights of our tae Lnited States in population, wealth naturalized citizens, and those principles and power, that but a few years have of natural justice and freedom which wc intervened since, trom the character of a are prepared to maintain in our intercourse third, or at best, second-rate nation, our with foreign States, as a part of our en- g reat republican Confederacy has sprung lightened American Policy. This subject t 0 the firat P laoe amon g , tbe sovereignties has been at all times an interesting one to *-he influence of our us as our history shows. The first Article country is now greater than ever before in the Constitution, authorizing Congress its vast intellectual and physical capacities to establish an uniform rule of naturaliza- are known abroad and it seems a fit lion, and the several acts of Congress pass- tim . e and fit occasion in the particular case ed in pursuance of the power granted, all . issno, if ever, to make tho declaration indicate this fact. It so happens now, which has now been sent to an European that the state of war in which several of ourt; - the leading nations of Europe have be come involved, and which may possibly embrace in its unhappy circle the whole of that Continent before peace shall be re established, has imparted, for obvicfUs rea sons, an immediate and most important significance to all those questions depend ing on the principle of the right of expat riation, as we understand it in this country, and which, in connection with our act of Naturalization, are not only extremely in teresting to our citizens by adoption, but directly concejn the dignity, power aud International consequence of our Govern ment. It is true that many or all of the Governments of Europe have made provis ion, in some mode or other, for the natural ization of foreigners, by which they are invested with a portion or all of the rights of native born subjects, in the country of their adoption ; but, nevertheless, these same Governments, almost without excep tion, either openly affirm or tacitly main tain the doctrine of perpetual allegiance, absolute or qualified, on the part of an al leged subject to the Government under . which he happens to.be born. In opposi tion to this, the People and Government of the United States have always denoun ced the idea of perpetual allegiance as un worthy the era in which we live, and as in consistent with and inimical to the gener ous principles of our Government, and it is well known that on one occasion we successfully resisted its application at the cannon’s mouth. In the same spirit, the Imperial or Monarchical Governments of Europe, still more or less subservient to old Feudal influences, regard expatriation as a matter of grace from the Government to the subject, not as a matter of right in the subject, and of course as being subor dinate to their claim of perpetual allegi ance. We, on the contrary, regard expat riation as a natural and indispensable right, like the right to enjoy the sunshine or to breathe the air; we believe it to bo supe rior to allegiance, and that it can only be limited, or modified, postponed, or in any way impugned or affected, by some actu ally existing debt, penalty or obligation due to the law, civil or criminal, at the period of emigration. The Governments of Europe have all been disposed to treat naturalization as being no more than a mere municipal regulation, which each nation might make for its own particular independently of the tie or duty of alle giance, and really distinct from it, there is and always must be in the necessity of the case, as the very cement of any organized political society endued with sovereignty, a certain contract between the (Government and its subjects or citizens. Under this contract, the Government engages, among oilier things, to give protection to persous and property, to preserve order, to guaran tee civil and political rights, and to defend the nation against its foreign enemies, and the subject or citizen for his own part en gages to obey the laws and pay to the whatever debt or penalty the 'Judgment of the law may justly demand oThim. What may be an actual subsist ing debt or obligation in the law which one may attempt to evade or escape; by expatriation may be hereafter the subject of diplomatic controversy between the Gov ernment of the Union and foreign States; but it is certain, that while the U. States, so long as the Government remains m the hands of the Democracy, will permit no insultiug visitation of the claim of perpet ual allegiance on our adopted citizens, or any political distinctions to be drawn in principle bcUvecu native and naturalized citizens at home or abroad, no act of nat uralization vjhelher of an American citi zen by a foreign government , or of a for eigner by our laws, eau release either from an actual—not constructive—existing debt, penalty, oi obligation under the contract referred to between all governments and their citizens or subjects,, incurred and owing at the time of expatriation, and un paid at the momeut of a voluntary return to the jurisdiction of the deserted country. But there is no need to occupy your attention further with any observatious of our own on this topic. It is, fortuuately, in our power to lay before you an extract from a dispatch addressed to our Minister at Berlin, from the Department of State, by order of President Buchanan, and which, relating as it does to a practical case, has been most carefully prepared.— It presents the true American position in a manner at once so clear in statement and satisfactory in argument, as to be well nigh beyond cavil : [Here follows the dispatch from Gen. Cass to the U. S. Minister at Berlin, dated July 8,185 U, which was published in The Intelligencer two weeks ago.] This perspicuous dispatch is an official expression uttered by the government of the United States, under the auspices of a Democratic Administration. It announces the law of the question as it is understood Thus it is, fellow citizens, of Pennsyl vania, and thus it has always been, that the true spirit of our free American insti tutions has been reflected in the noble history of the Democratic party, and thus it is that tho record of the Democracy is preserved in its purity and strength. It was certainly appropriate, too, that the party which reduced the probationary term of naturalization from fourteen years, as it was during the administration of the elder Adams, to five under Jefferson — which blotted from the statute book the “alien law,” indicating a settled purpose on the part of its friends to harass and expel from our shores the unfortunate per sons who had fled hither for refuge— which acquired Louisiana and the mouth of the Mississippi, notwithstanding the ery of the Opposition that there were foreign ers on those fertile lands, who, by the terms of the treaty, would become citizens —which has always encouraged emigration and territorial extension with the same hand—which made the flag of the Union the protection c f adopted citizens in 1812, in many a bloody and glorious victory by ( land and sea—which quelled the fanatical 1 insurrection of 1844, and trampled the contemptible insignia of a Know-Nothing usurpation in the mire—and whose terri ble wrath will yet teach the Black-Repub lican proscriptionists of Massachusetts how perilous a thing it is to dare to trifle with legal equality or liberty in our country — no one can deny, in fine, how singularly appropriate it is that this same Democratic i party should havo assumed the initiation of a new idea in the gradual and sure solution of the great problem of human rights. Demagoguism is said'to be the leading vice of republican institutions. Always in search of political capital, it never looks to see whether it is even consistent with itself. This disgraceful fact has been recently illustrated by the shameless course of the two Opposition factions. Not con tent with grossly misrepresenting the meaning of General Cass’ letter to Mr. Le Clerc—a mere semi-official business note of a few lines, stating a fact by way of cautioning his correspondent, and not intended as a political text in tho discuss ion of a principle, as is quite plain upon its face—the factions bf the Opposition, whose oppressive, tyrannical and bigoted A, «THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”- LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2, 1859. hostility to the naturalized citizens mas(s be seen in the ruins, of churches destroyed by fire, and in the mouldering remains of hundreds of victims from New Orleans to St. Louis, deprived of life while endeavor ing to fulfil their duty as freemen at the ballot box, have endeavored to patronize this despised and ill-treated class of our fellow citizens by pretending a new-born zeal in their welfare. Well may each adopted citizen exclaim in view of this • sudden manifestation of friendship, as did the Trojan of old, “ Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes'' —I fear the Greeks when they bring us gifts. But as further proof of the hollow hearted hypocrisy which has marked the meretricious display we have witnessed, you will permit us to call your particular notice to the recent amendment of the Constitution of the State of Massachusetts, a State wholly and hopelessly given to Black Republicanism, (as distinguished from pure Americanism,) providing that “ No person of foreign birth shall be entitled to vote, or shall be eligible to office, unless he shall have resided within the jurisdiction of the United States for two years subsequent to his naturalization, and shall be otherwise qualified according to the Constitution and laws of the Com monwealth.” The language of the amend ment speaks for itself, and requires no explanation or comment. Before it could be submitted to a vote of the people of the State, the law required that it should be acted on and passed by two successive Legislatures. Accordingly this was done. It is an undisputed fact that four-fifths of each Chamber of these two successive Legislatures, were neither Democrats, nor Americans, but Black Republicans The vote of Massachusetts at the Presidential election in 1850 was, in round numbers, one hundred and five thousand votes for Fremont (Black Republican,) twenty-nine thousand for Buchanan, (Democrat,) and twenty thousand for Fillmore (Know-Noth ing.) The proof is therefore incontesta ble that this measure, origina ing with the Black Republicans, was passed through two successive legislatures in which that party was predominant, and that it was finally consummated at the popular election by their suffrages. The immoral, not to say illegal effect of this extraordinary amendment is two-fold. It first discrimi nates against the naturalized citizens by settiug them apart as a class amone white men, unworthy to participate in elections with them, or in the active affairs of gov ernment, for the period of two years after they have become, in compliance with ail the forms of the naturalization law, full citizens of ■he United Status. In the secoud place, it makes, in derogation of the rights and respectability of naturalized citizens, an excessively insulting demon stration in favor of negro equality with the native-born, and negro superiority to the foreign-born. For while the naturalized citizen is prohibited from voting, although a perfect citizen in the sense of the Con stitution of the United States, negroes in Massachusetts, are not simply permitted to vote, but are eagerly courted to assume the badge of electoral power. Not only this, but more. While every white mau, no matter how long he may have resided in this country —no matter how immense his fortune or heavy the amount of tax he pays, or large his family, who may be made a full citizen of the United States to-day, or who was oven made so on the tenth of last November or at any time since, cannot vote before or at the next Presidential election in the State of Massachusetts —a negro who has run away or been stolen from Maryland or any other slave holding State, and who flees into Massachusetts before the first day of next November, and remains there, may proceed to the polls and assert then and there his political equality with the native-born, and his political superiority to every citizen, naturalized within two years, who rnhy happen by fixed residence, or otherwise, to be within the limits of that Commonwealth. And is it not apparent that if the Black Republican party of Massachusetts has altered the fundamental law of the State, by the introduction of a clause restraining naturalized citizens from voting for two years after naturalization, that they may hereafter, on the same principle, extend the period of restriction to five, ten, fifteen or twenty years ? Some other State, unless this unconstitutional and oppressive movement be at once resisted and subdued, may next amend its Constitution with a restrictive provision in duration of time still more offensive, until, to all intents and purposes, should the example be followed by others, the old Native American doc trine of twenty-one years’ residence before naturalization, may be established in all or a majority of the States of the Union. It must be confessed that this is a grave question occurring here in the United States, under the American Flag itself, in which every naturalized citizen is interested either in respect to his honor or his franchise. There is consequently no cause for surprise in the circumstance that the newspapers and politicians of the Op position have so strenuously endeavored, by their impudent and silly effusions regarding General Cass’ brief note to Mr. Le Clerc, to divert the popular attention from a case like this, the dread responsi bility of which they cannot escape, in which, by a deliberate and solemn act of Government, they have placed the natural ized citizen, not merely in a position of political inferiority to white men, but to negroes, and by which they have inaugu rated a policy that, if fully developed, would lead substantially to the disfran chisement of all future emigrants. It does not admit of doubt that many worthy men among the adopted citizens have been s.duced from the protecting ranks of the Democratic party by some of the shallow humanitarian theories broached by the Black Republican wing of the Opposition. They should now be satisfied that all this rigmarole and rant concerning ‘ freedom and human rights,’ and the ‘ irrepressible conflict between the slave holding and non-slaveholding States of the Union, until all shall become free or all shall become slave,’ means the political inferiority to white native-born men and to negroes, of other . white men who are citizens by choice and law in this country. This is not the first occasion upon which Black Republicanism has manifested its disposition to insult and to outrage the foreign born citizens. No doubt all remember that, in the year 1856 the Know-Notjling or American Republican party of that day, met in Philadelphia to nominate candidates ’for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency, and that their Con- vention, or National Council, proved a failure, because of non-agreement among its members from the North and South, about what was called the 12th Section. It will not and cannot be denied that what is now the Black Republican faction throughout the North and West was. largely represented in that Convention. Many of the present leaders in this faotion were delegates. Their names can easily be found and clearly identified. The platform submitted contained the most cowardly and violent attacks on the pat riotism and civil rights of the whole body of naturalized citizens. A large propor tion of the members of the Convention came directly from the secret midnight conclaves. And yet neither the attempt to violate the dearest interests of citizens on the ground of religion in some cases, and of birthplace in others, nor the com panionship of Know-Nothing conspirators, then embarrassed the now tender conscien ces of our Black Republican philanthro pists. But you will remember that this American-Republican Convention broke up in confusion on the I2th section of the platform, and that contained the negro question , of course, and nothing but the negro question. There was a German question, there was an Irish question, and other questions of a kindred character, then, as now, staring these freedom-mon gers, and sensitive philanthropists in the face, but the Black Republicans only had interest enough in them to kick them under the table, while all their best ener gies were excited, and all their worst passions inflamed, by their desperate con tentions over the beloved negro. And from that day to this no national convention of the Opposition party, under whatever name it may have chosen to appear for the nonce, has failed to adopt a resolution sustaining, either directly or by fair implication, this Know-Nothing sentiment. It is true that some of the men and some of the presses of the Opposition have pronounced against this Massachu setts abomination. But the epistolary declarations of a few partizans, and the mouthing editorials of a few mercenary newspapers amount to little or nothing.— Let the proper political party organs speak out their condemnation of this brutal wrong I You have seen that in the Nortnwest, after au exciting and length ened contest in a State Convention or two, the Native American element has been compelled to yield to the naturalized influence in the Black Republican organi zation, and have repudiated it. But how is it elsewhere, and especially how is it in Pennsylvania t There is not a single word of reprobation in any one of the senseless resolutions of the Opposition Convention of the Bth of June last, but in that profligate caucus sat Black Repub licans and Know-Nothings, 1 chock by jowl,’ every Black Republican trying to fancy himself a Know-Nothing, and every Know-Nothing trying to fancy himself a Black Republican, deceiving each other and deceiving themselves, and really agreeing in nothing except not to repudiate the Massachusetts usurpation, and in sink ing what little principle they ever pos sessed into the unmeaning compromises of an unprincipled coalition. • t But we have already, fellow-citizens, tnore than filled our alloted space. In fearlessly, aud so far support ing the principles of the Constitution, tho Democratic party has been and is now the true friend and support of the rights and interests of the naturalized citizens. If they, or any portion of them, no matter what their lace or religion, will persist in listening favorably to the high-sounding phrases and empty promises of those who, as a party, so heartily despise them, aud who will, if trusted, assuredly lead them to destruction, be it so. It may be truth fully asserted that nothing has ever been done in this country more insulting to the patriotism and honor of naturalized citizens, or more dangerous to them, as a precedent, than this malevolent discrimin ation against them by the restrictive amendment of the Constitution of Massa chusetts ; and it is strange, with all their abundant professions, that the ‘ People’s Party ’ of Pennsylvania should have main tained silence at the outrage. In any event, it must be plain that, not to meet such au act sternly and at once, is to in vite aggression aud contempt. ROBERT TYLER, Chairman. By Instruction of Committee. THE MAIDEN WARRIOR. . No struggle in tho history of the world has produced nobler instances of heroism than that of our own glorious revolution. The achievements which light up the ex panse of that deadly conflict like stars in the firmament, put to shame the melodra matic heroes of Greece ; indeed, it is not too much to say, that every mountain pass has been a Thermopylae, and every battle plain a -Marathon. Occasional ly these deeds of war have been lightened by that sweetest of all passions, love ; and it is a tale of love and patriotism we have now to tell. Sergeant Jasper belonged to that most famous of all heroic bands, Marion’s Bri gade, where his valor and talents soon won him distinction. Among other dar ing deeds, his rescuing our flag at the battle of Fort Moultrie deserves to he mentioned. In the hottest fire of the conflict, the flag of the fort was shot away, and fell without tho fort. Leaping over the rampart, he seized the flag, and re turned amid the cheers of even the British. For this daring deed, Gen. Rutledge pre sented him with a sword. Like many other families at that time,' his was divided on the great question.— Ilis older brother took the side of the English, and served in their army. Out of affection to his brother, and a wish to examine into the strength and condition of the enemy, he resolved, with another pa triot soldier, Sergeant Newton, to pay the JBritish camp a visit. His brother’s posi tion in it enabled him to receive his two friends without any suspicion of their being spies, and they were entertained for two or three days with great hospitality. While they were thus engaged, a small party of Americans were brought in pris oners, and as they had deserted from the British, and enlisted in the American ranks, their doom would have been death. This the brother of Jasper assured him was to be their fate. With them were the wife and child of one of the prisoners.— Her distress at her husband’s approaching fate touched the humane heart of Jasper. Confiding his purpose to his friend, Ser geant Newton, they bade adieu to Jasper’s ’ —BUCHANAN. brother, and took their leave.

The guard was ten in- number, and armed. The corporal, with four men, conducted their captives to the water, and told them to rest themselves for an hour, .at the same time giving them some pro visions. The Sergeant then told the men to ground arms, and seat themselves. — The prisoners threw themselves upon \he "earth in hopeless despair. Near to the wretched man sat his wife and child. Two of the men alone kept their arms as sen tries. As the rest of the men were filling their canteens with water, Jasper and New ton came stealthily, seized two of the muskets that were stacked, shot the two sentries, and rushing upon the others stunned them with the butts of their weapons. Deprived of their arms, the others abandoned the conflict and fled Releasing the prisoners, they escaped across the river to the Americans. But the most romantic incident in this brave man’s life was his love for Miss Sally St. Clair, or, as she is termed in our an nals, the Maiden Warrior. This was a beautiful creole girl, who returned his pas sion with a purity and intensity seldom known on earth. When he was called upon to join the defenders of his country, her grief was unbounded. Their hour of parting came, and after the tenderest of adieus the gallant soldier sprang upon his horse, and joined his regiment. Scarcely had the sound of his horse’s feet died upon the air, than her romantic brain sug gested the plan of joining her lover by en listing iu the same brigade. She resolved to put her project in immediate operation. Securing a suit of male attire about her own size, 'she severed her long and jetty ringlets, dressed her hair like a man’s, and purchasing a horse, she set off three days after, alone, to offer her services to the noble Mariqn. Her offer was accepted, and a lithe, active stripling was added to the corps to which her lover belonged.— The contrast between the stripling and these men, in their uncouth garbs, their massive faces, embrowned and disfigured by sun and rain, was indeed striking. — But none were so eager for the battle, or indifferent to fatigue as the fair faced boy. It was found that his energy of character, rosolution and courage, amply supplied his lack of physique. None ever suspected him to be a woman. Not even Jasper himself, although she was often by his side, penetrated her disguise. The romance .of her situation increased the fervor of her passion. It was her de light to reflect that, unknown to him, she was by his side, watching over him in the hour of danger. She fed her passion by gazing upon him in the hour of slumber, hovering near him when stealiug through the swamp and thicket, and being always ready to avert danger from his head. But gradually there stoic a melancholy presentiment over the poor girl’s mind.— She had been tortured with hopes deferred ; the war was prolonged, and the prospect of being restored to him grew more and more uncertain. But now she felt that her dream of happiness could never be realized. She became convinced that death was about to snatch her away from his side; but she prayed that she might die, and he never to know what length the violence of her passion had led her. It was the eve before a battle. The camp had sunk into repose. The watch fires were burning low, and only the slow tread of sentinels fell upon the profound silence of the night air, as they moved through the dark shadows of the forest.— Stretched upon the ground, with no other couch than a blanket, reposed the warlike form of Jasper. Climbing vines trailed themselves into a canopy above his head, through which stars shone down softly.— The faint flicker from the expiring embers of a fire fell athwart his countenance, and tinged the cheek of one who bent above his couch. It was the smooth faced stripling. She bent low down, as if to listen to his dream, or to breathe into his soul pleasant visions of love and happiness. But tears trace themselves down the fair one’s cheek, and fall silently but rapidly upon the brow of her lover. A mysterious voice has told her that the parting has come; that to-morrow her destiny is con summated. There is one last, long, lin gering look, and then the unhappy maid is seen to tear herself away from the spot, to weep out her sorrows in privacy. Fierce and terriblo is the conflict that the morrow rages on tho spot. Foremost in the battle is the intrepid Jasper, and ever by his side fights the stripling war rior. Often during the heat and the smoke, gleams suddenly upon the eyes of Jasper the melancholy face of the maiden. In the thickest of the fight, surrounded by enemies, the lovers fight side by side.— Suddenly a lance is leveled at the breast of Jasper, but swifter than the lance is Sallie St. Clair. There is a wild cry and at the feet of Jasper sinks the maiden, with the life blood gushing from the white bosom, which had been thrown as a shield before his breast. He heeds not now the din nor the danger of the conflict; but down by the side of the dying boy he kneels. Then for the first time does he learn that the stripling is his love ; that the dim visions in his slumber, of an angel face hovering above him, had in deed been true. In the midst of the battle, with her lover by her side, and the barb still in her bosom, the heroic maiden dies ! Her name, her sex, and her noble devo tion, soon became known through the corps. 'There was a tearful group gath ered around her grave 5 there was not one of those hardy warriors who did not bedew her grave with tears.
