In the thin) place, we insist that Ameri cans shall rule America, and to this end native born citizens should be selected for all State, Federal and municipal offices and government employment in' preference to all others. Nevertheless " Persons horn of American parents residing temporarily abroad, should be entitled to all the rights ; of native borcj citizens. ' ; And for this, we have been denounced vehemently denoanced by our opponents as advocating " an odious and unjust dis tinction a prescriptive discrimination," between the native and the foreigner. But let us view this matter for a moment in the. light of reason. Will any impartial reflecting roan pretend to sa that he belie ves that the foreigner, who has been feared under influences differing widely from our own, with hif prejudices and fixed predi lections in favor of that form ofGovern mentunder Which his mind lias matured, can sympathise to the same extent, with American interests, as the native son of the soil ? Can it be supposed that he can understand and .appreciate the genius of our institutions as well or better than-the na live who id tkupht to learn and love the Constitution of his country from his very infoncv ? SiiU there are those, who would pretend that they neither feel nor do they percicve any just reason hy the offices of the country should be bestowed upon the native in preference to the foreigner. Would they charge our illustrious fore fjther, the fanner of that Constitution un der which we now live, with proscription (or excluding the foreigner from the to highest offices within the j:ift of the people? Would they charge George Washington with an eno.eaYr to create "an odious and .i;cnrin1;.,!.li..n hlrnin lliP fnroim. ! er anu uie nauve, wueu ue "''hiti umi . It was not the policy of this government I to employ foreigners when it could be avoided, cither in the military walks of life or civil office of consul ?" And yet the members of the American party, who advocate the passage of no law which would tend in the least degree to rcstrici. ho' privileges already enjeyed by I Would they charge Thomas Jefferson , ferries a tax equal to seven times li e lav- , 1 , 7 - i , i i B J ' ., , , ' , ii H, .. stage players, sleight of liand performers, with being jiroscnptive.for adv.auig the gest toll demanded ; on toll bridges, 815. j yQ tumbk. wire lncers c passage of a law that no person but a na- On :,' "S 80, unless the price cus riders, equestrian performers, exhibit- i i I, riii- .i ' i or a season Ve uioru than that sum, l . i . c , ... .! . . .

The conduct j sure vehicle, of the value of 850 and up- of Senator Soule, while Minister toSpain, is but a; melancholy illustration of the un- fitness of the foreigner for any post under the government of trust and importance. A inanofstich character and commanding tallent as would enable him to represent the intelligent citizens of Louisiana in the Senate of the United States, it would seem that he at If ast should prove an exception to the general rule But to the sequel : : In less than three years after he is commis sioned to the Court of Madrid, he has near ly succeeded in involving his own country in a war with England, Spain and France; and if repoft be tru, had even stooped to soil his hands in the petty embroilments and .rebellions which, were then agitating Spain. Although an American Minister, he so far forgot himself and the dignity of his position, as to engage m the dirty in. trigue of a foreign Cpurt. He came home in disgraceand I do not believe that his own party will ever attempt a vindication of his course . No man will deny but that u we have enough and more than enough competent j American M to fill every office' within the: gift of our people. We offer the - foreigner liberty, and privileges here that he neer could have enjoyed in the country from whence he came. We guar anty to hin rights and immunities that are denied to our own citizens in the land from which he fled. Then the foreigner,' at least, has no right, whatever., his antiy American friends may, urge injps favor -7 He should, regard thef protection and the blessings which are offered him. as'a mere booh upon 'pur ppt a gratuitous aVolun tary boon Whichhe has no right to demand, and for which he should testify his gratitude by his honesty, his fidelity and devotion to our interests. We are'willing toive him every thing in reasoa which he should de sire, and more, much more) than he has any right, to claim. I am - well aware of tjie '. fact that there are many .foreigners 'in our midst equally as trust worty if not more to than hundred of .our' own native born American citizenr;yKBut I regard such as exceptions only to the general rule. There are others, akoj whose honesty, whose in tegrity and whoiie usefalnesa can not be dfouted, and yet their former life and ed ucation . may hive heen $uch as to unfit them entirely for an American office. And it is a notable fact and one worthy ofob- sorvktinn 4 ti a f n!rui.t.iL. C iL.
