ASTOUNDING POLITICAL DEVELOPEMENTS, General Scott on the Naturaliza- tion Laws. mony INTERESTING DOCUMENTS, Ke, Kier See TH LETTER OF NovEMBER, 1841. Wasninoton, November 10, 1841. Dear Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge your letter of the 8th instant, wrstiams Be Ye are ploased to add, in behalf of several hunt native Ameri- an republicans of Philadelphia. Not confidently, but not for publication, I have already replied to a letter from David M. Stone, Eaq., of your city, on the same subjeot. I will write to you in like manner, and in haste. Thia is the month when the pressure of official business i3 hea- viest with me—leaving scarcely time for sleep or exorcize. I must not, however, wholly neglect your communication. Should any considerable number of my fellow boys base) paige me, or desire to give me, a pro- minent position before the public, I shall take time to methodise my views on the great questions you have proposed. Those views have their origin in tho stormy elections of the spring of 1835, and were confirmed in the week that the Harrison electors were chosen in New York. On both occasions I was in that city, and heard in the streets, ‘Down with the natives.” It was heard in almost every group of foreigners, as the signal for ralying and out- 8. fred with indignation, two friendssat down with mo in my parlor at the Astor Hoase (November, 1840,) to draw up an address—designed to rally an Amorican party. Tho day after the election I set out for the South, ‘and have nover known precisely why our appeal was not purblisied. Probably the election of General Harrison rendered the publication at that timo un- necessary in the opinion of my two friends. _ I now hesitate between extending the period of residence before naturalization, and a total repeal of all acts of Congress on the subject—my mind in- ‘elines to the latter. Concurring fully in the peacnlee of the Phila- delphia movement, I should prefer assuming the name.of American republican, as in New York, or democratic Americans, as I should respectfully sug- st. Brought up in the principles of the revolu- ion—of Jefforson Madison, &c.—under whom, in ye I commenced life, I have always beon called, havo ever professed myself, a republican, or whig, which with me was the same thing. Democratic Americans would include ali good native citizens devoted ts our country and institutions; would not drive from us naturalized citizens, who, by long re- sidence, have become identified with us in feeling and interoat. ‘ T am happy to see, by the Philadelphia arc r Virth American, that religion is to be excluded as a element. Staunch Protestant as I am, both by and conviction, I shall never consent to a party or Bi ion. Religion is too sacred to be mingled mith either. It should always be kept between each individual and his God, eccept in the way of Teason and geatle persuasion—as in family churches and other occasions of voluntary attendance, (after oars of discretion,) or reciproval vonsent. Wi success to the great work which you and ee iots have happily set on foot, I remain, wit respeot, your tellow citizen, rm eet a eiaece So ‘0 9 Washington Reed, Esy., and othors S— ; GEN. SCOTT'S COMMUNICATION TO THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. The following communication, written by (eneral Beott, is copied from the Washington Intelligencer, and is publishod as it appoared in that paper :— {Brom the National Intelligencer, Dec 17, 1844.] COMMUNICATION. NOTES ON THE ADMISSION OF ALIENS TO CITIZEN- SHIP. "The Congress shall have the power” “ to establish a nniform rule of naturalization.”°—(Constitution U. S., article 1, section 8, clause 4.) On this power, or on all citizens who may be @dopted under any established rule made pursuant 20 the power, the constitution itself, in other parts, i gaposes four limitations or restrictions :— 1.—“No person shall be a Representative who shall not have (&c.] been seven years a citizen of the United #tates."—(Article 1, section 2, clause 2.) 2.—‘No person shall be a Senator who shall not have {&c.] beem nine years a citizen of the United States."— A Article 1, section's, clause 3.) 3.—“No except 2 natural born citizen, or ci- this: const inited States at the time of the adoption of constitution, shall be eligible to the office of Presi- bitchy (Article 11, section 1, clause 5. —"«No constitationall foaiginy to the office of President shail be eligible to that of Vice President of the United Btates.""—(dmendments, article 12, clause or section 3.) Under the power and the restrictions here seve- rally quoted, Congress may legislate on this subject, in the shape of a uniform rule—that is, a rule the samo, f# the time being, throughout the whole Union and its territories. It is seen, thon, that the constitution itself, in re- spect to foreigners, contemplates or establishes many distinct degrees of citizenship, besides age, sex, and residence. Ist. Congress, under the dele- gated power, might, by a uniform rule, confer on aly aliens, immediately on arrival—instead of at the end of fire years, as at present—the right of holding and transmitting property of every description ; the right of voting for President, Vice President, and members of Congress ; the right of voting and being Yoted for, in respect to all State offices and trusts; and the right of holding all federal offices, with the exceptions which follow. Yet, as at prosent, 2d, No such adopted citizen would be eligible to a seat in the House of Representatives, nor until seven years after taking the oath; nor, 3d, To a seat in the Senate, until two yoars more, making nino; nor, 4th, Ever to the Presidency or Vice Presidency ; whilst, 5th, There are yot among us some foreigners Dy birth, who, having been here prior to the adop- Aion of tho constitution, are eligible to the Presi- alency and Vice Presidency, and enjoying every other yight of vatural born citizens. Behold, then, at this moment, within the bosom of our country, Yoreigners holding, by naturalization, five seve- yal grades of citizenship; besides, 6th. A host of other firviguers, all personally under the protec- tion of our laws, with the right to acquire, to hold, and to transmit property, including (in several States) lands and houses, and all (males) again, in different stages of advancement towards the aequi- sition of the political rivht= under the first four heads abovs. Tt is, ther: fore, shown that the eon- stitution, by 9 unifion rule of naturalization,” did not meni 4 vale 1 which all rights whatso- ever of native |. ould be conferred on aliens (subscguen ng in the country) at once, and inalump (ine right (the second above) the constitution withholds for seven years aftor na_ turalization; another (the third) for nine years, and the fourth forever. If we follow strictly etymologi- cal meaning, it would bea bull to say that Con- gress can, by a rule of naturalization, make a fo- reigner a natvral born citiaen. Naturalization’? isa technical term, borrowed by our constitution from English law—just as levying war, overt act of treason, &o., were borrowed by the same instru- ment from the same source. To find the lega meaning of either term, we have always been obliged to look to that fountain rather than © dictionaries. Nothing is more natural or <ommon than such technical reference. In the English practice of “ Naturalization” it is exceedingly rare to find that aliens have been ad- mitted to all the rights ofa born subject. In Eng- Gand, they havo been almost universally, by the terms of adoption, disqualified from holding of- fice, &e. : With us, Congross may “‘ostablish a uniform rule of naturalization,” or repoal the present rule and have none—just as we have twice had, and have twice ropealed, ‘ uniform laws on the sub- .eet of bankruptcies,” a subject over which Con- gress has unlimited power undor (by the way) the same clause of the constitution. As, then, Congross might originally have legis- Jated or not on naturalization, and may now repeal the existing established rule, and substitute no other, somay Congress, at its good pleasure, in wiew of national policy and expediency, alter or modify the existing rale. The motives for chango are many and powerful. They cannot fail to occur to every thinking mind. Suffice it hore to repeat what was once doclared of a single sovereign’s power—the ait of the existing rule of naturatization are great, are increasing, and ought to be diminished One of » the sicbjcet Jong, presumes to suggest as follows:-- me experionce, and who has meditated | 1,—Not to repeal the existing rule and leavo none, as the non user on the part of Congress of the dele- gated power, would give at least a colorable author- ity to State adoptions of citizens, just as tho non- existence of a uniform system of bankruptoy has led to State insolvent laws; and it is evident that twon- ty-six State rules, without, perbaps, uniformity be- tween any two, would increase the ovils to be dimi- nished, independent of extreme embarrassment, in courts and at the poils, undor the provision, “the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privi- legos and immunities of citizens in tho several States.”—(Constitution, Article iv., Section 2, clause 1 ) 2.—Not to extend the period of residence before admission to citizenship, as this would be impolitio nationally, and unjust to aliens, in respect to tho acquisition and transmission of real estate in many parts of the Union, as also in respect to other civil rights. Besides, extension of previous residence would not diminish the alleged perjuries and frauds at the polls; but, 3.—Leave the basis of the naturalization system ag it and superinduce the following modifica- tions :— An Act id ror tothe Acts now in force, on the subject of a uniform rule of naturalization. Sec. 1. Be it enacted, §c., That any alien, boing a free white person, and who shall come into the United States six months or later, after the passage of this act, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof after a residence therein of at loast three (1) years, and ove year (2) at least after declaring his Jide intention of becoming a citizen, in the manner and form, and upon the other conditions, not herein altered, as prescribed by the act entitled ** An act to establish a uniform rulo of naturaliza- tion, and to repeal the acts heretofore passed on that subject,” which was approved April 14, 1802: Pro- vided, That no alien arriving in the United States ajter six months from the passage of this act, shall ever acquire the rt pe to vote, except in the manner hereinafter prescribed, jes any elector of President or Vice President of the United States ; for any member of the House of Representatives of the same ; for any fovernor, Lieutenant Governor, member of the Legis- lature, Judge of any Court of Record, or Sheriff, in any State or Territory of the Untted States, or for any May, Intendant, President, Alderman, As- ststant Alderman, or Common Councilman of any city, borougk, or incorporated town or village, in any of the said States or their Territories, or within the District of Columbia; but all aliens admitted to naturalization under the forego- ing provisions and limitations, shall enjoy every ether right and privilege of native born citizens which is not expressly limited or withheld by tho Constitution of the United States. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That every na- turalized citizen, as aforesaid, shall be wholly ex- empted or excused from involuntary service in the militia, army, and navy of the United States. See. And be it further enacted, That every freo ien, being an able-bodied male of at least seventeen years of age, who shall, in time of war, engage to servo the United States against their ene- mies, for at least two years, or during the war, or who, in time of actual war, shall serve the said States faithfully two years, or to the end of the war, in any company or vessel of war, in the army or navy of the said States, shall, on obtaining the cer- tificate or certificates of faithful service, signed by the co! ing officer or officers of such company or companies, vessel or vessels of war, and counter- signed by the next higher officer in the army or navy, under whom, if any, such alien has served, shall be admitted, on presenting such evidence to any court designated in the act herein be- fore recited, to all the rights and_ privileges of citizenship at any time conferred by the act, on simply taking the oath of allogiance to the United States, and making the renunciations enjoined in the said act. Seo. 4. And be it further enacted, That this act shall take effect on and after six months from ite passage, when all provisions of former acts incon- sistent with this act, shall be taken and held;to be repealed, in respect only to all aliens arriving in tho United States after that date. Should some bill like this become a law, it would not in the slightest degree affect any alion already in the United States, or who might arrive within six months after its date. Of course, the rights of naturalizod citizens would be as little touched by the act as those of native born citizens. What fo- reigners abroad would be affected by thelaw? Pro- bably but few; possibly not one who, at the time of its pascage, would have a mind made up to migrate to the United States. As to all female foreigners arriving after the passage of the act and the addi- tional six months, they would be the sooner, by two years, admitted to all the civil rights of citizenship, and no others have ever been conferred on females. Sooner, also, hy two years, would thoir male rela- tives and friends be admitted to that large class of rights, besides eligibility to ali but four offices, State and federal. As to other foreigners abroad and in existence, or who may hereafter be born abroad, what right would they have now or in future to complain of such alaw? We, already in the United States, whether natives, naturalized citizens, or aliens, have a great question of national policy to settle for ourselves and our own posterity, and we may séttle it for the benefit of both, without looking to speculative phi- lanthropy or liberty beyond such posterity. We think we are liberal enough when, in providing for America, we leave the door of admission open to the children of foreigners, now abroad, who may hereafter be born here, without allowing their fathers to come and help to govern us. We, who alone have any right to think on the subject, claim that we can best govern ourselves, and the better such government, in the meantime, so much the better for the foreigners who may hereafter come among us, and for their American born children. It will be observed that the bill proposes to leave future naturalized citizens as eligible to all offices and trusts as those who have heretofore been naturalized. Many of them, no doubt, will be appointed and elected to high places, as heretofore, and be found as worthy of confidence as a Montgomery, or a Morris, a Gal- latin, a Findlay, ora Smiley. We, now in Ame- rica, mean only that, after a given time, electors born on the soil shall alone select natives or adopt- ed citizens to make laws for America, or to admi- nister those laws. But, without a syllable on tho subject of electors (voters) for electors of Prosident and Vice Presi- dent, because, perhaps, it was intended they should be chosen by the State Legislatures, as at present in South Carolina, the constitution has declared:—- “The House of Representatives shall be com of members chosen every second yoar by the people of the several States; and the electors, in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most nu- merous branch of the State Legislature."—(.4rt. 1, sec. 2, clause 1.) Not another word is said in any other part of the instrument on the qualifications of voters. In view of that clause, it may be asked, and to the confusion of some min Has Congress the power to limit the political franchise of future adopted citizens, asin the first section of the bill proposed? The answer iv, certainly not, if that were the only clause bearing on the question. But here are two others:— “ Congress shall have power “to establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.—(4rt. 1, 8, clause 4.) And— “ The citizens of each Stute shall be entitied to all pri- vileges and immunitics of citizens in the several States.” (Art. iv., sec. 2, clause 1.) The three clauses must be construed together, aud, if they can be harmonized, or rendered not in- compatible with cach other, each must have its full weight and effect. Nothing more easy than to solve the supposed difficulty, or to find the desired harmony. It is evident that if each of the original thirteen —now twenty-six States—conld make its own dif- | ferent rule, Delaware, against the will of Virginia, might make adopted citizens for both, and Michi- gan for Now York, greatly to the annoyance of the latter; but Virginia is not represented in the Delaware Legislature, nor New York in that of of every other, we should have had, by this time, and interference of many capricious rules, that tho constitution in express terms, at least in respect to the adoption of foreignors, declares that Congress | Gin which all the States are equitably represented) shall have the power to establish a waiform rule of na- turalivation throughout the United States. Tho ob ject ts as plain as the lodgmont of the power was | Michigan. A citizen of one State being a citizen | “confusion worge confounded” everywhero, but | that it was precisely to avoid this opposition | indispensable. No act of s single State oan be put im concurrence with such powor. If not left derelict aud seized upon by others from shoor necessity, it must be exclustrely in the hands where primarily lodged. There ia a wido fiold loft for the exercise, on the part of the several States, of the power to de- termine what shall be the “qualifications” (alionage and naturalization aside) “requisite for the electors of the most numerous branch of the State Legisla- ture.” Thero is the land and other property quali- fications in some States, age, militia service, &c., in others—all, however, within the range of citizen- ship, whether by birth or naturalization, whioh Con- greas may determine for all. It can say what qua- lifications, for the good of all as a Union, shall be imposed upon adopted citizens in respect to the po- litical franchises of voting throughout the United States—as the constitution itself imposed the qua- lifications we havo seen above, on other political franchise—eligibility to federal offices and trusts. Both federal and State eligibility to office the pro- posed bill leaves whero they wero found. The constitution was a compromise and a com- pact between all the people, (ocarly,) whether citi- zens, aliens, (or foreigners,) of one State and simi- lar people of the other States; or, betwoon the ple genorally throughout the wholo Union; which, it is unimportant to the present question to deter- mine. There had been, previously, no intimate union between the parties—no uniform rule of natu- ralization, Each State had loosely adopted, in its own way, nearly all aliens, not alion enemies, who had come within their limits. Natives who were tories wero as generally ex- pelled. Political and military services were the great inducements to adoption—in most cases with- out certificate as witbout record. All, very nearly all, had earned Tuto citizenship An army of patriot heroes had beon recently disbanded far from their native homes, and many wore stil] unsettled in any new residence. Henco the beat of the constitution—* The oitizens of each State shall be (&c.) citizens of the several States.” That clause was a Raab gre adoption, or recognition. It called a nation of AMERICANS into existence, and fixed their wnited being. Their descendants, and those since adopted, with their children, are the resent AMERICANS—the PEOPLE of the United tates. It may, perhaps, be objected to any bill like that proposed—What would be its binding force, should it become a law? Particular States might still, at their BA et) (it may be said,) perme aliens to vote for al] functionaries, State and federal, im- pedinely on coming, for the first time, within the threshold of tho State. The only answer is—oaths registered in heaven, as on earth. If these cannot bind, then there is an end to all human society or government. The constitution of the United States, in the name of the whole pocple, commands— ‘This constitution, and the laws of the United Statos, which shall be made, in pursuance thereof, (&e ) shall be the supreme “law of the land, and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby; anything in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.” Also, “ The mem- bers of the several State Legislatures, and all execu- tive and judicial officers, shall be bound by oath, or affirmation, to surert this constitution.”—( drt. VI, sections 2and 3) But I havo not time for declamation or polish, and I have had but little to cite principles or press arguments. J have only written notes. Much sup- rt might be derived from the equally judicious istribution of power over the militta between fede- ral and State authorities. The analysis and appli- cation are leftto ablerhands. They will find that what required wniformity was given to one side; all that allowed to disconformity loft to the other. aa reasons Were the same as in the case of citizen- ship. It is a uaE le that the Proposed bill will have the good fortune to conciliate the general favor of either Native Americans or Whigs The leadin Democrats will no doubt reject it as an attem upon their ‘‘ spoils.” Yet it is not seen why the liberal of the three parties may not support the measure. More cannot be attained, if more were desirable, without an alteration of the constitution ; and even something less would not be accepted 4 those who are already more than satisfied wit undue advantages. ut the Whigs are yet surely under unmerited defeat, and the Natives flushed with the first fruits of their young endeavors. The green tree waves its branches and the foliage to the breeze, and looks with the confidence of in- experience to the returning season. No nipping frost has ever seared its hopes. Yet this party stands on the “ unsteadfast footing of @ spear,” or, at least, a narrow isthmus, which the first wave of avecess, coming from either side, may for ever wash from under its feet. Triumph would, indeed, be more fatal to its existence than defeat. Asyetit has no concerted system of principles or measures—or has proclaimed none—for carrying forward the business and the developement of this concrete and mighty Republic. My humble advice to all around us is, to revive your spirits, to moderate the intoxication of victory, to look to the Constitution, to serve your country in soberness and faith, and to scorn te be the slave of party, or the tool of demagogues.

It appear: that the specimens do not extend beyond the yea: 1800, and that a third volume is contemplated, which must embrace a much more interesting era than the one now exhibited. The author has given us some rather interesting sketches of Fran'lin, Isaiah Thomas, Benj.

Execution of Jean Adam and Antonio De- lisle at New Orleans, The men who murdered a colored servant girlin New Orleans, last winter, suffered the extreme penalty of the law, in that city, on the 2d inst. The Delta gives the fol- lowing account of the execution :— About eleven o'clock the crowd commenced to asgem- ble. and eager curiosity marked the features of all pre- sent. It increased momentarily until many thousands bad contrived to crush themselves into one nook or ano- ther. from whence the edifying spectacle might be wit- nessed. ‘The scene was gay with the ribbons and flaunt- ing dresees of the women, and the Mor figeeceiaetee i appearayce of the men, ‘There seemed to be no particu- lar feelidg amongst them, save an anxious desire to see two fellow creatures choked We noticed no feminine horror of the coming tragedy; we heard no whispered word of hope that {t would poon Deover, Everything was de- cidedly ‘cool.’ except the weather. Apple boys were in great demand, and oranges suffered to an unlimited extent.

HORGE C. WASuINaTON. Later from Texas. {From the New Orleans Picayune, July 7.) By tho arrival of the steamship Mexico, Captain Place, we have received full files of Texas papers. The first charter lection was hold in Corpus Christi recently, and the following officers. woro clected:—Mayor—B. i. Neal. Marshal—T. 8. Parker. ‘Trexsurer—J. M. Cooper. Seoretary— Eph. Haines. Aldermen—Antonio Vela, M. Balds- wheeler, H. W. Berry, E. H. Winfield, James Rt. Ba mard, Forbes Britton. From a cardin the Valley, we seo that Capt. Brit- ton declines the office of alderman. A jockey club, called the Star State Jockey Club, was formed in Corpus Christi on the 26th ult. Geo. P. H. Boll was elected President, with twenty-one Vive Presidents, and Capt, !’orbos Britton was olect- ed Secretary and Treasurer. A subscription was opened, and a large sum subseribed ina short time. The first race is to come off during the fair of Cor- pus Christi, in 1853. A terrible affray eccurred in Washington on the 26th ult.,in the course of which a max named Farrell was killed, and another named Shepard se- riously wounded, by George P. Lynch. Lynch made his escape, and a reward of $550 is offered for him by the citizens and the Masonic Lodge of Wash- ington. Railroad meetings have been held at Austin and Houston, and delegates appointed to the convention to have been held at Chappell Hill en the 3d inst. The Austin State Gazette complains of the low salaries of the different State officers. It says that no man of family can serve a term as Governor, without subjecting himself io a lovs greater than prudent man would willingly incur. The present system was adopted at the close of the revolution, and was rendered necessary by the burthen of a heavy public debt ; but circumstances have since changed, and justice should be done to the talents and services of citizens selected for important offices. A party of the citizens of Lagrange were out on a mustang hunt recently, when they came upon three panthers. Vory singularly, there was not a firearm in the crowd, but tney gave chase notwith- standing, and after a long and exciting race, suc- ceeded in laseoing two of the panthers. Tho third one escaped. Maltby’s circus troupe were expected at Lagrange from Austin, at last accounts. Irrms From Havana.—By tho arrival of the steamer Cherckee, from Havana, we have received files of the Gaccta dela Habana and Diario dela Marina to the 2d inst. Their contents are almost exclusively of local interest, the most. prominent topics of discussion being the question of the estab- jiahment of telegraphs in the island, and the reduc- tion of the value of the from $17, at which it now circulates, to ¢16, its intrinsic value. Neithor of these measures meet the approbation of the Diario de la Marina. Tho dryness of these discussions is relieved by an oceasional voluntcer opinion that Mr. Pierce will be elected President of the United States, and the fear that Mr. Sloo,cr some other Yankee, will get Te- huantepec. The Gaccta oe an order of the Captain General, in relation to the announcement of the departure of the American steamers, the last para- graph of which we translate for the edification of our readers, and that sey may see how far a truly pa- ternal government will fo in the protection of its children.
