The case in 6 Cranch. United States Reports. and the decision of Justice Blatchford need not be gone over again. Who would be safe as a naturalized citizen if the neglected record of a stupid or forgetful clerk determined his holiest of rights? I agree entirely with what the eloquent gentleman from New York said on Saturday. and with what the distinguished gentleman from Massachusetts has reiterated here todaythat this is simply a question of fact. Now. as to that fact we have the positive. sworn testimony of Captain White and his witnesses. and his credibility has not been attacked nor his statements denied except by insinuation and innuendo.
