The difficult question which for near three
weeks, occupied the sole subject OF dciberaon,
in the House of Representatives has been finally
settled by the exclusion Of FIVE members, com
missoned by the Governor Of the State Of New
Jersey, as entitled to take their seats in that body.
We do not enter into the question of the legal
right possessed by those thus rejected nor do we
mean 10 discuss the Consttutionalty of the de-
cision of the House, but we feel it incumbent on
us again to call the attention of our readers to the
nlomeAtous and periloas condition in which the
encouragement Of foreign Interference into our
political disputes, and struggles for ascendancy,
have at length placed our country and political
existence. This crisis being now passed, we can
not refrain, while Offering up the tribute of our
heartfelt gratitude to benehcent and over ruling
Providence, to call upon tho people and their Re
presentatiycs to pause and solemnly reflect upon
their duties 10 themselves and to their own coun-
try We ntreat all to ask themselves whether il
vernment can be expected to withstand many re-
petitions of such shocks, as that which it has
so recently passed? Whether they may hope
that the natives Of the and-the sons Of the Illus
trous band who poured fourth their blood, and
squandered their dear bought substance, in the at
tainment Of the privilege of governing themselves
by the enactment and execution Of their own laws
will much longer suffer that blessing to be snatch
ed from them by the rude hands Of foreign rene
gades


Let our rulers no longer hold back from the
good work Of applying remedy for the foul dis
order, Of which one Of the first and most bitter
fruits has been to sow the seeds Of discord
amongst one people and weaken the attachment
of at least one of the states Of our glorious Con.
(ederacy.


! Disguise the question as may-varnish i
over with whatever party gloss it may be suscep


ble, yet the naked truth stands out in all it's max
edness, that the violation Of the great principle
selfpreservation in the admission of the subj ject:
Of foreign governments to the right Of suffrage
here, is the one great cause Of threatening to dis
solve this proud Conlederacy into its original ele
ments. We are justly proud of our birth-righ
and Jealous of our Liberties. We will not wil
llngly share the one with strangers, nor tamel
submit to be robbed of any portion of the other
Knowing those rights which we derive from Go
and Nature alone, we will maintain them with a
the energy with which our Creator has endowe
us and we call upon all who love this as the
natiuc land, to unite and stand by as manul
until the Repeal Of the Naturalization laws---th
first wish of our hearts and the great object Of al
our labors--is finally and fully accomplished.
