Levi L TATX, IRAM DERR, PETER G CAMPBELL, ALBERT ULSTER, .DANIEL MCIIENRV, JOHN Nuss, Democratic Stunding Committee. August 3, 1859. HP WF. SEE the name of Hudson 'Owen, -of Berwick, announced in the last Columbia Democrat as a-candidate for County' Commi ssioner. We are credibly informed that this announcement is not warranted,.and that it is as erroneous as the sheet is false which contains it. Mr. Owen is not a candidate for this or any other office, and positively -de-. • clines being one, under any circumstances. The Democrat says, "we are authorized to -announce," through its fabulous columns, that the'man above mentioned will come •before the Democratic County Convention, seeking a nomination to the office-of County 'Commissioner, subject te the usages of the parly. The quesiiou now arises with some people, who have been-deluded 1y the Dem ■ocrat, and not the first time, whore did it gel its authority to make this announcement; -certainly not from Mr. Owen; and the editor being-strictly moral and noted for his habit ual observance of truth, would not make it on his .own book. It is quite a query, cer tainly. in the same sheet "notice to candidates" is given, stating that "candi dates for nominations, would do well to re member, that prepayment is required to ap pear in the Columbia Democrat." This is the way the hand-organ talks, but does not pre tend to practice what it preaches by any means. Those notices published without authoiity, we are made to naturally suppose that they aro pre-payed, or else they would not appear in the channel through which Mr. Owen got a free pass. WE publish below one ol the standing Rules of the Democratic party, passed Sep tember 6th, 1851, in a Democratic County ■Convention, which reads as follows : IX. THE STANDING COMMITTEE SHALL BE FIVE IN NUMBER, ONE OF WHOM SHALL RESIDE J AT THE COUNTY SEAT, AND SHALL BE CHOSEN ANNUALLY IN CONVENTION. IN CASE OF VA- I CANCY TUB COMMITTEE MAY FILL UP THEIR -TTUMBER. This Rule never was altered in Conven tion, and has been regarded as one of the standing Rules till last fall, when the pres ent acting Committee, six in numbter, was .packed by the Democrat man and their ap pointment siron&ly urged. This is a direct 'violation of the Rule above quoted, by the •would-be-leader of the Democratic pa*ty, as the Rnle only claims five members. We sup pose in arranging this Committee the Demo crat man had five members picked, forget ing to chQOso one from the County Seat, until he was reminded of the Rule, where it sets out that one of the Committee must peßide at the County Seat, when quickly his name was put down at the head of the Committee, as he would make an excellent Chairman, and make fix in number, thereby giving the whole thing strength, and nobody would find any fault. Now if this Commit tee shall consist of no particular number of men hereafter, why not have it comprsed of some dozen or more—say the whole county. TIII DEMOCRATICSTANDINU COMMITTEE give notice in our pappr of to-day that the Dem ocratic voters this County will meet at their usual places of holding the general -elections on Saturday, the 27th day of Au gust next, for the purpose of selecting two delegates from each township to meet in -our County Convention in Bloomsburg on Alonday, the 29th of August, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of nominat ing men for the County offices which are to be filied this fall, and appointing Represen tative Conferees to meet in Conference at Tunkhannock with similar Conferees of the District to make the legislative nominations for the coming fall election. The delegate eloction is a matter ok considerable impor tance, and of late years not as much atten tion has been paid to it as should have been done to insure sound nominations and true Democrats placed in office. No bogus dem ocratn should be ohosen as delegates to the Convention. When such appear in a Dem ocratic Convention they should be immedi ately read out—they have no business in such Convention. Wc have been requested to announce through the columns of the STAR, that the Rev. S. M. OSOOOD, of Philadelphia, will pleach in the New Baptist Church of Bloomsburg on aext Saturday evening at early candle light. We bespeak a good turn out. This church building is a good one. It is spacious, siry. and everything comfortably arranged. JOHN LEACOC* has lately been making sundry repairs in and about his house, which have added greatly to its appearance and convenience. In the bar-room a pretty thorough renovating has been made, chang ing things almost amazingly. President Boehanm the Sntitsriwi. A recent article in the Pittsburgh Post, bringing forward the name of the President for renomination anil election as the only mode for quieting distractions in the Demo cratic party, ia the subject of much com ment by the Press of all parties. We refer to the subject with • view, if possible, of putting at rest'all such speculation. There is no point upon which Mr. Buchanan has expressed his determination more freely and unreservedly than his fixed purpose under no circumstances to be a candidate for re election to the Presidency; and we are satisfied that there is none upon which his mind is more unalterably made up. In, accepting the nomination of the Democratic 1 party in 1856 he took occasion to say:— 1 "Under these circumstances, I most cheer fully pledge myself, should the nomination of the Convention be ratified by the people, that all the power and iufluenoe 'constitu tionally possessed by the 'Executive shall be exerted in a firm but oonoiliatmy spirit, during the tingl* Itrm '1 shall remain in office, to restore the same harmony among the sister States which prevailed before this apple ofi discord, in the form of slavery agitation,had been cast into their mittst,"'agaht, in his in augural at the time of entering upon the du ties oftois office, he said : "Having-deter mined not to become a candidate for re election, I shall have no motive to influence my conduct in administering 'the Govern-' ment, except the desire ably and faithfjlly to serve my country, and to live in tho grateful memory of my countrymen." Du ring the President's recent visit to North Curolina, he availed himself of the opportu nity to repeat, in the most emphatic man ner, this determination which he had so -early formed and so formerly declared, and to which he has so firmly adhered. Ho an nounced in one of his speeches in North : Carolina, when addressing the immediate neighbors of the late Nathaniel Macon, that libe their own venerated Macon, and influ enced in a considerable degree by his ex ample, he had long since determined to re tire from public life at or before the age of three-score and ten; when he thought every wise man ought to desire to pass the last years of his lile—should a kind Providence prolong his days—in tranquility and retire ment, and in preparing for his last account; that at the end of his term he would have completed Bis seventieth year, and that he would return at that time to his quiet home with far greater pie agate than he had -enjoy ed in coming to Washington to enter on the administration of tho Government. Thus has Mr. Buchanan availed himself of every opportunity—both public and private—to announce and reiterate to the country his fixed and irrevocable purpose to retire 'from public life at the end of his present presidential term ; and we feet fully author ized to declare that under no circumstances will he consent to be a candidate for re election. Whatever course the ''Opposi tion" press may see proper to pursue here after on this subject, we trust that our Dem ocratic cotemporaries will, in justice to the known wishes and repeated announcements of the President, unite with us in discour aging for the future, all speculations on the subject. And why should not Mr. Buchan an desire to retire at the end of his present term J He will have devoted the best years of a long and and useful life in the service of hid country. He has been called to many positions of trust and sreponsibility. In all of them he has done well. He will leave behind him a record of which any statesman and patriot might feel proud. He will have accomplished the great desire of his heart, so earnestly expressed in the ex tract we have quoted from his letter of ac ceptance. He will, indeed, have "restored the same harmony among the sister States which prevailed before this apple of discord, in tho form of slavery agitation, had been cast into their midst." He enter ed on llie Presidency in the midst of bitter sectional controversies. The storm had reached its height, threatening the peace of the country and the Integrity.of the Union. He brought to the helm the strong arm of a statesman and stout heart of a patriot. True and faithful, firm and stead fast, he has spoken quiet to a distracted people; and has before him now the bright prospect of retiring to private life at a time of universal peace, harmony and prosperity. Not only the domestic but the foreign poli cy of his administration will have been at tended with eminent success, and it will only require the harmonious action of the Democracy to insure to the country the election ot a successor pledged to the sup -1 port of its principles Waskingiton Consti ' tut ion. Two Prisoners, confined in the jail of this county—Franklin Haas, committed for steal ing, and Patrick Curry, committed for threatening the tile of his better half,—made an ineffectual attempt, some time last week, to escape from the prison by means of breaking a large hole in the wall oi the room in which the late Mrs. Twiggs was confined. They had broken the padlock at the room door, and replaced it in such a way that it was not observed by the Sheriff, until he wanted to place a prisoner into the room, when he discovered the hole in the wall, and thereby prevented their further operations.

DPARTMENT OF STATE, j WASHINGTON, June 25, 1852. j The respect paid to any passport granted -hy this Department to a naturalized citizen, 1 'formerly a subject of Spaiu, will depend'up on the laws of that nation in relation'to'the t allegiance due its authority by its natlve- I born subjects.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE. ') WASHINGTON/HUM® 1, 18fS2. j SIR : Thrive to acknowledge the receipt of -your letter to Mr. Redhall of the 27th ulli' •mo, inquiring'Whdther Mr. Victor B. Depier re, a native of France, but a natuarlized citizen of the United can expect the .protection of this Government in that coun try when proceeding thither with a pass port from this Department. In reply, I have io inform you'that if, as is understood to be the fact, the Government of France does not acknowledge the right of natives of that country to renounce their al!egiahce,it may lawfully claim their services when found within French jurisdiction. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedi eut servant, DANIEL WEBSTER, To J. B. Nones, Esq., New York. The letter from Mr. Everett, was address ed to our Minister at Berlin, under date of 14th January, 1853, in reference to several cases which had been .presented by lit Min ister-. " The question raised," Mr. Everett,' writes, "has received the particular alien- Tien of the President." The following ex tracts sufficiently state this doctrine : If, then, a Prussian subject, born and liv ing under this state of law, chooses to'emi grate to a foreign country without obtaining the certificate which alone can discharge him from the obligation ol military services, he takes that step at his -own risk. He elects to go abroad under the burden of a duty which toe owes to his Government.— His departure is 'of the nature of an escape from her Jaws, and if, at any subsequent period toe ia indiscreet enough to return to his native country, he cannot complain it those laws are executed to his disadvantage. His case resembles that of a soldier or sailor enlisted by conscription or other compul sory process in the army or navy. If he should desert the service of his oountry,and thereby render himself amenable to milita ry law, no one would expect that he could return to hia native land and bid defiance to its laws, because, in the meantime, he might have become a naluaralized citizen ol a foreign State. For these reasons,- and without entering into the discussion of the question of per petual allegiance, the President is of opin ion that, if a subject of Prussia, lying under a legal obligation in that country to perform a certain amount of military duty, leaves his native laud, and, without performing that duty or obtaining the prescribed " cer tificate ol emigration," comes to the United 1 States and is natuarlilzed, and atlerwards, lor any purpose whatever, goes hack to Prussia, it is not compeleut for the United States to protect him from the operation ot the Prussian law. The case may be one of great hardship, especially if the omission to procure the certificate arose from inadver tance or ignorance ; but this fact though a just ground of sympathy, does uol alter the case as one of international law. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, ) WASHINGTON, May 17th, 1859. j To Mr. Felix LeClerc, Memphis Tenn., Slß—Your letter of the 13lh instant, has been received. In reply, I have to slate, that it is understood, that the French Gov errnent claims military service from all na tives ol France who may be found within its jurisdiction. Your naturalization in this country will not exempt you from that claim if you should voluntarily repair thith er. 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, LEWIS CASS. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, J WASHINGTON, June 14, 1859.} SIR.—In answer to your letter of the 6th inst., I have to inform you that the brief let ter from this Department to which you refer dated the 17th day of May last, and address ed to Mr. Felix LeClerc, was in reply to an application for iniormation, and was princi pally intended to recommend caution to our naturalized citizens, natives of France, in returning to that conntry, as the operations . of the French conscription law were not precisely known here, and might bear in juriously upon that class of American citi zens. Most of the Continental European nations have a system of military organiza tion by which their citizens are compelled to serve in the army by conscription, as in France, where the duty is designated by lot or by draft, as in Prussia, where every person is required to take his turn as a sol dier. The condition of American naturalized citizens returning lo their native country where the system of compulsory service prevails, and who had left before perform ing such service, has frequently been the subject of discussion wi.h some of the Eu ropean powers. Quite recently it has ari sen between the United States and Prussia, and the representative of this country at the Court of Berlin has brought the matter to the attention of the Prussian Government In the instructions which were sent to him, dated May, IS, 1859, it was explicitly sta led that this government is opposed to the doctrine of perpetual allegiance, and main tains the right of expatration and the right to form new political ties elsewhere. Upon this subject it is observed, that in this age of the world the idea of controlling the citi zen in the choice of a home, and binding him by a mere political theory to inhabit tor a lifetime a country which he constant ly desires to leave, can hardly be entertain • ed by any government whatever. The poiiiion of the United States, as com municated to the Minister at Berlin for the information of the Prussian -government, 'is that-native born Prussian naturalized in the 'Urtita'd States and returning to the country of their btrth, are not liable to any duties or ipenrillies, except such as were existing it the period of their emigration. If at that time they weretin the army or actually call ed into it, and naturaliza tion do not exelnp*#iem from the penalty which they Incurred by their descreiion, but tips penalty-may be enforced-egainst them whenever tbey shall voluntarily place them selves within the local jurisdiction of their native'COUlitry and shrill be proceed against according 10 law. But when no present lia bilities exist against them at the period of their emigration, the law of nations, in the opinion of this government gives no right to any'couotry to interfere with naturalized American citizens, and the attempt to do so would'be considered an act unjust in itself and unfriendly towards the United States.— It is only when he voluntarily relprna to his >ntitive country that its local laws can be enforced agaisst him. 1 am, sir, your obedient servant, LEWIS CASS. Extract of a dispatch from Department of Slate to the Minuter of the United States at Berlin, dated July 8, 1859. The right of egpetnetien 'cannot at 'this day be doubted ov denied in the United States. The ides lias been repudiated ever Since the origin '#f 'Our 'Government, that a man is botmd to're main forever inthe coun try of 'his birth,-and 'that he has no right to exercise his free will and consult his own happiness by selecting a new home. The most eminent writers on public law recog 'fttee ihe right of expatration. This can only be contested by those who in the nineteenth century are still devoted to the ancient feu dal law with all its oppressiou. The doc trine of perpetual allegiance is a relic of barbarism which has been gradually disap pearing from Christendom during the last century. The Constitution of the United Satels re cognizes the natural Tight of expatriation, by conferring upon Congress the power "to establish a uniform rule of naturalization." Indeed, it was one ot the grieveances al leged against the British King in the Dec laration of Independence, that he had "en deavored to prevent the population of these States—for that parpose obstructing the laws of naturalization of foreigners, refus ing to pass others to encourage their mi gration hither," &c., &c. The Constitution thus clearly recognizes the principle of ex patriation in the strongest manner. It would have been inconsistent in itself, and un worthy of the character of the authors of that instrument, to hold out inducements to foreigners to abandon their native land, to announce their allegiance to their native Government, and to become citizens of the United States, if they had not been con vinced of the absolute and unconditional right of expatriation. Congress have uni formly acted upon this principle ever since the Federal Government. They established "a uniform ride of naturalization" nearly seventy yearnTqgo!' "fhere has since been no period in our history when laws for this purpose did not exist, though their provis ions have undergone excessive changes The alien, in order to become a citizen, must declare on oath or affirmation that he will support the Constitution of the United States ; and, at the same time, he is requir ed to absolutely aad entirely renounce and abjure allegiance and fidelity to every for eign prince, potentate, State or Sovereignly whatever, and particularly, by name, the prince, potentate, Stale or sovereignty whereof he was before a citizen. The exercise of (he right of naturaliza tion, and the consequent recognition ot the principle of expatriation, are not confined to the Government of the United States.— There is not a country in Europe, I believe, at the present moment, where the law does not authorize the naturalization of foreign ers in one other. Indeed, in some of these countries this law is more liberal than our own to foreigners. 'I bo question, then, arises, what rights do our laws confer upon a foreigner by granting him naturalization 1 I answer, all the rights, privileges, and immunities which belong to a native born citizen, in their full extent, with the single qualification that under the Constitution, "no person except a natural born citizen is eligible to the office of President." With this exception—the naturalized citizen, from and after the date of kis naturalization, both at home and abroad, is placed upon the very same fool ing with the uative citizen. He is neither in a better nor a worse condition. If a na tive citizen chooses to take up his resi dence in a foreign country for the purpose of advancing his fortune or promoting his happiness, he is, whiUt there, bound to obey its mnuieipal laws equally with those who have lived in it all their lives. He goes abroad with his eyes open ; and if these laws be arbitrary and unjust, he has chosen to abide by the consequences. If they are administered in an equal spirit to wards himself and towards native subjects, this Government have no right to interfere authoritatively in his behalf. To do this would be to violate the right of an independ ent nation to legislate within its own Terri tories. If this Government were to under take such a task, we might soon be involved in trouble with nearly the whole world. To protect our citizens against the application of this principle of universal law, in its full extent, we have treaties with several na tions securing exemption to American citi zens when residing abroad from some of the onerous duties required from their own subjects. Where no such treaty exists and an American.citsen has committed a crime or incurred A penalty for violating any mu nicipal law whatever of the country of his temporary residence, he is just as liable to be tried and punished for his offence, as though he had resided in it from the day of his birth. If this has not been done before bis departure and he should voluntarily re turn under the same . jurisdiction, he may be 'tried and punished for the offence upon principles of universal law. Under such circqfpstances no person would think of contending that an intermedial residence in his own country for years would deprive the Government tvhose laws-he had violated of the powei to enforce their execution.— The very same principle, And no other, is applicable to the case'of a naturalized citi zen, Should he choose lb r felurn to his native country. In that case, if he hail -Committed an offence 'against the law before hia de parture, he is responsible for it in the same manner as the native American citizen to whom I have referred, 'tn the language of the late Mr. Marcy,'iti 'his'lettdr of the 10th January, 1854, 10 Mr. -llarikabh, thiln bilr Charge W Affaires to Vienna, When speak ing of Tonaig'a case, "every nation, When ever its laws are violated by any one owing obedience'them, whether he be a citizen or a stranger, has a right to inflict the penal ties incurred upon the transgressor, if found within its jurisdiction." This principle is to well established to admit of serious con troversy. If one of our native or naturalized citizens were to expose himself to pndish ment by t-h' commission of an offence against any of our laws, State or national, aril af terwards become anattfrrilifced subject of a foreign cdhnffy, 'he Wbtild hhve 'the 'hardi hood to contend, Upon Voluntarily returning within 'our jurisdiction, that bis naturaliza tion tellevell him from'fhe punishment due 'to 'his cvime ; 'much less could 'he appeal to (he gove'roment'of -hte adopted country to protect liith agttinsl'his responsibility to the United Slates 'or any of the States. This 'Government would not for a moment listen to such an appeal. Whilst these principles cannot be contest- Ed, great care should be -taken in fheir ap plication, especially oufr 'naturalized Citi zens. The moment a foreigner becomes naturalized, bis allegiance 16 'his native country 'is severed forever, lie experiences a new political birth. A broad and impass able line separates him from his native country. He is no more responsible for anything he may say or do, or omit to say or do, after assuming his neVr 'Character, than if he had been born 'ln The 'United States. Should he return to his native conn - try, ho returns as an American citizen, and in no other character, fit order to entitle his original Government to punish him for an offence, this must have been committed Whilst he was a subject and owned alle giance to that Government. The offence must have been complete before his expa triation. It must have been of such a Char acter that he might have been tried and punished for it at the moment of his de parture. A future liability to serve in the army will not be sufficient—because,before the lime can arrive fov such service, he has changed his allegiance, and has become a citizen of the United States. It would be quite absurd to contend that a boy, brought to this country from a foreign country with his father's family, when but 12 years of age, and naturalized here, who should af terwards visit the country of his birth when he had become a man. might then be seized and compelled to perform military service, because, if he had remained there throngh out the intervening years, and his life had been spared, he would have been bound to perlorm military service. To submit to such a principle would be to make an odious distinction between our naturalized and native citizens. For this reason, in my dispatch to you of May 12, 1859, and again in my letter to Mr. Hofer, of the 14th ult., 1 confine the foreign jurisdiction, in regard to our naturalized citizens, to such of them as "were in the army, or actually called into it'* at the time they left Prussia. That is, to the case of actual desertion, or a re fusal to enter the army after having been regularly drafted and called into it by the Government to which at the time they owed allegiance. It is presumed that neither of these cases presents any difficulty in point of principle. If a soldier or sailor were to desert from our army or navy, for which offence he is liable to a severe punishment, and, after having become a naturalized sub ject of another country, should return to the United States, it would be a singular de fence lor him to make that he was absolved from his crime because, aftet its commis sion, he had become a subject of another Government. It would be still more strange were that Government to interpose in his behalf for any such reason. Again, during the last war with Great Britain, in several of the States—l might mention Pennsylva nia in particnlar—the militia man who was drafted and called into the service, was expose to a severe penalty it he did not obey the draft and muster himself in to the service, or in default thereof, pro cure a substitute. Suppose such an indi vidual, atfter having incurred this penalty, had gone to a foreign country and become naturalized there and then returned to Penn sylvania, is it possible to imagine that lor this reason the arm of the State authorities would be paralyzed, and that they could not exact the penalty 1 1 state these examples to show more clearly both the extent and ' the limitation of rightful Hanovarian juris diction in such cases. It is impossible to foresee all the varying circumstances which may attend cases as they arise; but it is believed that the principles laid down may generally be sufficient to guide your conduct. It ia to be deeply regretted that the Ger man Governments evince so ranch tenacity on this subject. It would be better, for them, considering the comparatively small number of their native subjects who return 'to their dominions after being naturalized in this country, not to attempt to exact mil itary service from them. Tney will prove to be most reluctant soldiers. If they violate any law of their native country during their vist, they are, of course, amenable like other American citizens. It would be a sad mistortune if, for the sake of an a dvant age so trifling to such Governments, they should involve themselves in serious difficulties with a country o desirous as we are of 'maintaining with them the most friendly relations. It is fortunate that serious diffi culties of this kind are mainly confined to the German Slates, and especially that the laws of Great Britain do not authorize any compulsory military service whatever.
