As soon as the Journal had been read, the
House resumed the consideration of the motion
Of Mr.. Levin, to refer the Massachusetts reso-
lutions, asking an amendment of the naturaliza-
ton laws, to Select Committee, instead of to
the Judiciary Committee.


Mr.. Levin having the floor, resumed his re-
marks from last evening, and spoke until the ex-
pration of his hour, in reply to the speeches
made against his motion.


Mr. Chase followed in favor of reference to
the Judiciary Committee, the members of which,
he considered fully qualified to discharge the
duty.


Mr.. Baily, after some general remarks, con-
tended that the question of amending the natu-
ralization laws belongs TO the States, and not to
the general government.


Mr.. BoWlin gave history of the Native
American party, and denounced it as calculated
to place tax upon the adopted citizen. He ear
nestly hoped that the House would not sanction
this doctrine by report, because it would be
helping them to carry fire and sword into the
country.


Mr.. Gordon eloquently advocated the cause of
the adopted citizen, and quoted cases where, to
his knowledge, native born citizens had accepted
bribes at the ballot box, when naturalzed voters
had refused them.
He was followed in an able vindication of the
rights of those who happened to be born abroad.
He was still speaking when our paper went to
| press.
