The ogreat body of German people. and the intelligent men on the other side of the House representing German constituencies who have been instructed by them. must favor giving the notice required by itat treaty for its abrogation. It requires a notice of one year. That has never yet been done. although the treaty is as obsolete in this locomotive and emigrating age as the feudel system. What was the effect of that treaty? It gave away the rights of our naturalized citizens. it gave away their rights without consulting them and without their volatary consent. One clause of the bill referred to provides that a citizen of the United States. even one born here. who happened to be in Germany. and remained there over two years without reporting to a consul. was to be deprived. against fis own consent. of his citizenship among us. This wasthe way that side attempted to denationalize and expatriate our unwilling citizens.
