What, then, is naturalization"! " ,There is no ' dispute alicidtit. The derliation of the word alone makes it plain . All lesicographersand all jurists define it one way. In its popular, etymological and laisful sense it signifies the act of adopting a foreigner and clothing him with all the privileges of, a native citizen or subject. There can be no doubt that naturalization does, pro facto, place the Maim and adopted citizen in precisely the same. relations with the Government ;under -which they live, ex -cept.so Tar as the express and positiVe law of the country has made a distinction in favor of one or the other. In some countries emi .ration has been 'so encouraged Iy giving adopted citizens certain immunities and pri vileges 'not enjoyed by natives,' In most, however, political favors have gone the other way. Here, none but a native can be Presi dent:. In some. of our States foreign born citizens are ineligible to the office of Govern or, and in one of ,them they cannot even vote for two years after they become ttturalized.

This canuot•be true. It has no foundation to rest upon (and its ad vocate4'.do not pretend that it has any) cx cept the dogmas which denies altogether the right of expatrition without the.consent of his native sovereign—and that is untenable, AS I think I have already shown.

If lianovir would make a legisla tive decree furbiddingber people to emigrate or elliatriate themselves upon pain of death, that would not take-away the right of expa triation, and any attempt to execute such a law upon oee who had already become an -American citizen would and, ought to be met by very prompt reclaniation. Hanover Orobtibly has some municipal regu-1 lotion of het own by which the tight of expa-'1 triation is denied to those of her people who fail to comply with certain conditions. As sumiug that such a regulation existed in 1801, and assuming also that it was violated by Me; Ernst when ; be came away, the question will, then arise whether the unlawfulness of his emigrationrmakes his act of naturalization Void, as against-the Xing of Hanover. I an swer no ; certainly not. He is an American citizen by ou? law % . If he violated the law of Hanover which forbade hire to transfer his allegiance 'to us, then the law of the two . , countiies mein conflict, and the law of na- I tiona steps in to decide the question upon principles and rules of its own. By the public law of the world we have the undoubted ;right to naturalize a foreigner, whether his natural sovereign consented to his I emigration'or not. In my opinion the Han- overian Government cannot justify the arrest of Mr. Ernst by showing that he emigrated contrary to' the laws of that country, unless it can aliso,be prqved that the original right of expatiiaflon de:pends on the consent of the natural sovereign. This last proposition fam sure no man cso establish. THE MONTROSE DEMOCRAT. A. J. GERRITSON, Editor. MONTROS,E, SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY, PA. Thursday, July 28, 18 59. $1.50 Per Annuniin Advance.

LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL. —The Common Pleas for Cayalioga County, through Judge Foote, this morning, delivered an important decision. At the lust election, Freeman IT. Morris, tailor, of thii, city, and having about one-forth negro blood in his veins. pmeuted himself at the First- Ward voting place, and was barred from voting on •account of his negro blood. Action was brought against the Judges of Election—San born, Christian, and Garrett--for illegally rejecti.ng the vote. They pleadetrin defence the r.ment action of the . Legislature respect- . ing the vote of every, person Laving any ne gro blood in his veins. The case was made up arid submitted to the Court. This morn ing Judge Foote declared for the plaintitT, declaring the "Black Law" to be unconsti tutiOnal. The Court held that under the old Constitution of Ohio, all persons haskpg more than half white :blood were declared to be legally white. The new Constitution merely mentioned ." white persons," withdut defining svliat constituted a white person; consequent ly the definition of a white person contained iii the old Constitution remained in force, and any law declaring a person havin'g more than half white blood, to be a negro, must of ne cessity Go unconstitutional.--Clet eland ITor ald, July I.llb. KANSAS TO ENTER TUE UNION es .t DEM OCRATIC STATE,—We stated a few days ego, I ' says Thu Penneylynniaq„ppon information deemed reliAle, that the chances were multi plying that Kansas would enter the Union upon the side of Democracy. The Ileridd of Freedom, published at Lawrence. in exaMin ing the result of the recent conventional elec ti in, elo.=es a long article upon the subject with the following paragraph: " We are conscious that we shall be chate i ed with a desire to play into the hands of the Democracy because of this article. Our de eigti is to show our friends in the States the great strength (0 of the republican party in - Kansas, and show how much has been gain ed, by proving false to pledges, and organiz ing a new party with new tests, for the pur pose of giving "aid and comfort" to a party t outside of Kansas - . We mean to say further, that the late vote is significant of the future, and renders the `prospect of a final Demo cratic triumph more than probable, and the sending up a Demi:erotic Delegate to Con gress in-tbe fall, and; dually one Democratic Representatives and two Democratic Senators to Congress, under the State organization."
