Admitting. as it is but just to admit. that every rman has a natural right to expatriate himself. it musthe borne in mind that. in the terse language of Judge J. S. Black. "expatriation" includes not only emigration out of ones countrybut naturalization in the country adopted as a future residence. Hence I incline to a principle totally at variance with this bill. and I considerit a principle distinctly and trulyAmerican that no mere residence abroad. however protracted and wherever it may be. can divest one of the rights and eor relative duties of American citizenship or relieve oar Government of its obligation to protect the citizen except by his own free will expressed by becoming fully naturalized.
