Black. and other publicists. and that doctrine was that expatriation includes not only emigration out of ones country but naturalizatibn in the country adopted as afuture residence. The bill of Judge Hear undertook to expatriate men against their will. It did not limit expatriation to iaturalization abroad. Why. sir. it would have made a native of Germany or Ireland naturalized hereafter two years residence in his native landwithout any sign of giving up their naturalization or adoption in this coun-. try. an alien with all the penalties of a citizen abroad. That bill. by the good sense of both sides of the House. was defeated. The measure proposed by General Grants representative on this floor. and indorsed by his Cabinet. failed. although it was nearly a party vote. Whenthe gentlemantalksabout the Irishman or the Gerdian he will find a record here consomiat with the record of the Democratic party from the beginning of the Government in favor of the largest interpretation of citizenship to those who have been adopted and naturalized here. I ask the privilege of printing some extracts showing this fact. with a view hereafter to pursue what I then undertook to pursue. namely. the abrogation of the Bancroft treaty which so discriminated against our German fellowcitizens that they were. though born here. one of them notably born in Saint Louis placed in the German army. in the "landwehr." and held firmiy. No power sought to abrogate the treaty.
