all the principal towns, with a head in
Washington, is capable of immense in

its principles we quote now merely a
resolution of the - N. Y. Association
viz We do solemnly resolve to op
pose the'election or oppointment Oran) ,

. to of fi ce, and
henceforward to use our united efforts
and unsparing zeal,to procure such an
alteration in the naturalization laws as
shall exclude from the - Titht of suffrage
all foreigners who , come into this coun
try after such law has passed "—and
an extract from in address-of the Lou
isiania Association published with much
solemnity' of fdrm,,saying—i , It is in
deed by their labor, and by that only,
_that, foreigners render any-service to
the United / States ; and it is' the first
prerogative of the American people to
confine them to this, their only proper
vocation in our country." Such are
the proclaimed , , principles of an Asso
ciation with which " the whig, party
openly and manifestly identified them
selves in the recent. charter election of
New York " when the Democrats gave
their candidate for Mayor some 20,000
votes, near the ' party strength ; the
whigs, theiri, some s,ooo—those who
scorned a coalition—while the whigs
and "Native Americans " together gain
ed the day 'over both If this be not
identification, for all useful purposes,"
we mistake the term ;—and this was
the first movement which gave them
importance as a political party, and was
speedily imitated in; Philadelphia, or its
• Liberties, but with an ill-success which
engendered feelings fora very different
contest.
•
But we wish- to show fully the hospi
tality breathed throughout our institu
tions for the stranger within our gates; ,
'premising that it ill becomei us who at
most are but few removes from a for
eign stock, the migration of whose fa
thers hither was to find for themselves
and found for others an asylum from
the religious and political despotisms
of the old world, now to close our hearts
and our ports upon the miseries of the
unblessed of the earth, while , the bound
less fields of the ,West offer the rich de
posits of ages to the uses of labor. Nor
is such inhospitality less opposed to
the spirit in which our Government was
founded and theform of all th . e funda
mental laws of our country. The Con
tinental Congress, fourteen months be
:fore the Declaration of Independence,
-published an address to the people of
Ireland, in which, after expressing the
regret of the colonies - that their com
mercial non-intercourse with Great
Britain must affect Ireland which "had
done them no wrong," they say : "It
gave us, however, some consolation to
reflect that should it occasion you much
distress, ‘ the fertile regions of America
would afford you a safe asylum from
poverty and, in time, [noble prophecy n
from oppression also;, an asylum in
which thousands of your countrymen
have found hospitality, peace and afflu
ence, and become united to us by all
the ties of cosanguinity. - mutual inter
est and affection." The Declaration
of Independence itself (be it immortal !)
assigns as the 6th " act which may de
fine a tyrant" in the King of Great
Britain that "he has endeavored to
prevent.the population oithese states;
for that purpose obstructing the_lawsv e nf
naturalization of foreigners ; refusing
to pass others to encourage their migra
tion hither, and raising the conditions
of new appropriations of lands ;" and
to carry out the declared inalienable
right of man to the ." pursuit of hap
piness," wherever it may lead him in
his honest vocations, the constitution
enumerates 4th among the- pow.rs of
Congress this, " to establiih an uniform
rule of naturalization" Ste. Congress,
has decordingly • passed various laws
whose tendency to ameliorate the con
dition of aliens is known in the redue
lion of the term' of naturalization from '
fourteen to five years. Naturalized
citizens become eligible in time to - any
station in 'the general government ex
cept-the Iwofirst.offlees. By the con
stitutitutions 'of Several - states no restric
tion whatever is placed on naturalized
citizens as electors, unless in-Rhode Isl

opinions or adjudications. We Will no
tice here the State-constitutional provis
ions which appear more lenient than the
national: naturalization laws, omitting
qualifications not pertinent to , this inqui-i
ry.,. Massachusetts, by her constituticiii ,
of 1779-80, made'' every , male inhabi=
tent of one year's residence an elector &
eligible to the H. R. " and to remove all
doubts concerning thenvord inhabitant'
in this constitutionevery person shall be
considered ae an inhabitant (for the pur
pose of electing or being elected into any,
office or place within this state) in that'
town, district, or plantation where he
dwelleth, Or bath his 'home." In'lB2l'
an amendment 'wail made, as to - electors
only, substituting the word citizen for
inhabitant. The constitution of New
Hampshire Of- '92 gives "every dale in
, habitant -excepting paupers and persons
excused from paying, taxes at thew own
request," the right of voting, ang quali
fies inhabitants of. two years residence
for the H. R. ' with the . same clause de4
fining the word " inhabitant" above quo
ted front the constitution of Massachn=
setts ; and this' . constitution remains nil&
mended. The constitution of North Ca
rolina; which is contemporary with our
independence, makes " all freemen " of
one year's residence electors and eligible
to either branch of the Legislatere. It
has this remarkable provision, the only
one containing' the'word citizen:
"Every foreigner who comes to set-
Ile in this State, having first talion, an
oath of allegiance to the same, may pur
chase, or by other just means acquire,
hold and transfer land, or other real
estate ; and after one year's residence
be deemed a free citizen."
The constitution of Vermont pro
, vides that " every man" with the qual
ifications of age, one year's residence,
good character, and the oath ofallegianc.e
"shall be entitled to all the privileges
of a freeman" and borrows from North
Carolina the liberal article above cited,
- with this alteration, that every person
after one year's residence in the state,
"shalt be deemed a free denizen there
of, and entitled to all the rights of 0 nat
ural born subject„of this state, except
that he shall not be capable of being
elected governor, lieqtanant-governor,
treasurer, councillor, or representative
in assembly, until after two years' res
idence.'"l'he charter of Rhode Island,
granted by Charles IL, under Which
its government was administered i until
lately, made the governor and members
of the " general assembly" eligible by
" the major part of the freemen." We
learn from the Public Ledger that under
the constitution 'of the Algerines, "free
negroes are allowed to vote--naturaliz
ed citizens are not, unless they own
freeholds." In New Jersey, an attempt
made in the convention now sitting, to
prohibit naturalized citizens` of the U.
S., resident there, from voting until a,
certain period after their naturalization,
was recently voted down. Their con
stitution, two clays older than our Dec
laration, entitles "all inhabitants"
worth fifty pounds proclamation money
.to vote, according to which ladies for
merly exercised the right, until the
men in the Legislature, (for luckily the
constitution, tho' it admitted " any in
habitant" -to the council or assembly,
provided that, lie should possess h cer
tain amount of property) put amend to
female rights -and family
,jars, quoad
hoc, by a declaratory resolution inform
ing the world that "all inhabitants" of
New Jersey ware not women. Mary
land bad the same provision (making
" all freemen" 'of one years' residence
electors and eligible to the H. R.) as
North Carolina, which appears to have
copied from the former; ; but an amend
ment of 1802 - substituted the words
" free white male citizen." Tennes
see, like - these states, declares .6 every
freeman" 'after six months' residence
entitled to vote, and- after three •years

An act of the. Virginia Legislature of
1779, contains this emphatic declara
tion
men haie a natural right to re
linquish the country in Which birth cit
other' accidents may have thrown thecif (
and to seek subsistence and happiness
wherever they may , be able, or may
hope to find them:
' Such is the welcome of our land to
the family of man—a land , proclaimed
by our National Convention, of 1840,
as always by Demccrats, the-" asylum
of the oppressed of ()Very nation.
Thus do we cherish, (in the words Of
Jefferson, consecrated by their incor
poration into. one of the text-books of
our political faith, the Kentucky Reso
lutions of '98,") "the friendly stran
gers, to whom the mild spirit of our
country and its law had pledged , hospi
tality and protection." And shall the
small-souled" Native American" (Hea
ven. save the ,mark !) stretch ' out one fin
-ger of the elenched hand, which should
be as open as our s hearts towards the
oppressed, to point to this land and
say,—
"Nor there will weary stranger halt,
" To bless 'the sacred bread and salt: 7
Obedience and protection are recipro
cal duties between people and govern
ment. The failure in protection is set
forth by most of the preambles of the
first constitutions as the reason why the
colonists renounced their former allegi
ance. Citizen and alien may alike claim
the shelter of our government, who
yield it their support and comply with
its laws. The shield we put on in, the
last' war with Britain, was the aegis of
protection -to naturalized citizens and
adopted aliens; for who but they coukt 4
suffer by impressment?
No right was asserted over native chi-zens, however thsy were involved by
the abuse. We waged war in defence
of our commerce and our adopted , sea
men—" free trade and sailors' rights"—
and scorned the base proposal to cupidi
ty of peace to our ships and no peace to
our seamen, " commuting our sailms'
rights for the safety of our merchants'
goods." Nobly then did native 'and
adopted sons' unite to make glorious this
vindication of national hospitality.
We delight to trace, in his official acts,
the course of the great Apostle of De
mocracy in this connection. He was
the author
_of the resolutions by the Cell
gress of the Declaration inviting foreign- I
ers to this " asylum of oppressed man,"
with the promise of lands &c.' He in
troduced 'into the Virginia Legislature
the famous act avowing the right of ex
patriation, in terms quoted in our last,
which 'should stand through all time a
noble aphorism against the odious pre
tension to perpetual allegiance. 1" The
right," says Professor Tucker of this
law, "has since expressly: received the
general sanction of.the American people,
and has . found a virtual recognition in the
practice of all civilized nations."
wrote the Kentucky Resolutions: whose
prophecy of " revolution and 'bleed "I is
almost literally fulfilled in a sad - history,
of blood and riot. He there says, "That
the friendless alien has indeed been se
lected as the safest subject of a r first ex
periment ; but the citizeiti will soon fol
low, or rather has already followed, for_
already has a sedition act 'harked him' as

as we write, the news arrives_of a peti
