The measures of relief were one thing, which under the circumstances might well excite the greatest diver sitv of opinion. But the cause off hr frit—there’s the rub.

Having presented the views of the American party on the question of naturalization, I proceed now to consider the line ot policy winch they propose to adopt in tvgaid 10 elections and appointment* to o ill re.

It has been d, dared lo be unjust, pioscriptire, and contrail • to the principles ol the constitution ; and the whole Vo- I cabulary ot vulgar abuse has been exhausted, by detiu gogi.es of every grade, in giving expression lo their -eh- ; riiuenls in regard to it Without being in tbe slightest degree ruttl J by such out-pouring* ot viturperation, let us now enquire: 1st.

All that is contemplated is, to awoken anil to organize the American sentiment ol the countiy,—to create a wholesome public opinion, which will operate, alike on the people and me government, to , induce them, in the exercise ot the elective lianchi-o and the power ol appointment, to give a preference to Ameri can* lor public stations. *» u*. wu* *rc *11* *ii*i-* in y\jmtc i r.vury man win tie iell free to exercise his constitutional light to vole a* \ he may deem right.

Not Go vernor Wise certainly, lor he helped, by his vote, lo en grail them on thu Constitution ot Virginia! It is tppaient thervtore thst the prinripl* la not wrong and the complaint must be not against the prinripl*, but against the extent to which it It is proposed to carry it iu practice. Every fiend ot the constitution as it stands must concede that il is proper to prefer natives lor the highest eiecqtive offices The only dispute is whether this pr. fere nee shall be extended to interior officers. Or in other wonts the question sinks from one of prinripl* into oncof rTpfdimr*. And it therefore necessarily tolluwa,lhat even Sr Wise ami his party ore .IsrerMsi is prinripl* —and the only difference between them and the Ameri can party is one not of principles—but of degree. They sre not quite so intensely American as we are—that is all. They slop at the half way house.whils we gw to the cud ol of our joumej! The same remark applies with equal force lo the subjr-ct ot naturalization. I presume no member id the democra tic party desire* a total repeal ol the restriction* imposed liv the naturalization low*. No one *<k* that foreigner* immediately on their arrival in this country may l>e admit i te»| to all the right* of citizenship without some probation I have yet to meet the man. of any party, who conteud* I for that proposition. There are tew il any who think l a( the present probation of fire years it too long. Hearing this in niiial let us pursue the subject further. ; The argument against the American parly proceeds on 1 the assumption that they propose to do injiutie* to for- I eigner* Now if injualir* is tol>e done it must he by in fringing some right that foreigner* poetess. This leads u* ! lo inquin* if they have any right whatever to become na turalized, unless we choose to colder it on them by law ? : No jurist anil contend that they have. Hut il they have ! such a right, arould not that right be as effectually inva- 1 ded by a restriction ol A re years a* by ono of A'/ieew or timity-onr years ? The differences would only In* one ot i degree. The imposition of an illegal tax of five certs i on uiy properly U a-much a violation of my rights, as one | of five dollars would be. And so a restriction on my na- I Viral rights tor fire tears, is as palpably unjust as one ol twenty-one years. The one may be more trurthensoine than the other, but it is no mon* a violation of abstract right. II then the democracy contend that the rights o! ] foreigner* are to Ik* violated by the proposed policy of the American party, they are inevitably driven by their own ! argument, to contend tor a repeal of all restriction*. But I they will assume no such position, tor they know that na turalization i* a mere matter ot lavour. which anv govern ment may rightfully grantor withheld at its pleasure, attd may repeal or niodily as circumstance* may render expe dient. Thus It is clear that upon this point loo, Mt. Wise ami hi*party do not differ in principle from the American ! party. They will admit the rrght to impose restrictions j on loteigners, and the expediency of doing so. They are : content with a residence office years as a pre-requisite to citizenship—we think that too short a time, and contend some for |tr—some for 15 and Mime lor SI years. Thus the whole question rcMilve* itself into one ot linn erty ol’ a probation but as to the length of that proh « tion It is consoling to the American party thus, by a logic* analysis of the matters really in issue between them and thel lhHnocmcy to tind the latter ionctioning our principle*, nr.d giving us the weight of their great names on our side of the question ! \N e are happy to find them recognizing the cardinal doctrines o! the'American Party, and we con fidently anticipate, that aftqr the next Presidential election a!.all have revealed the fact, that lliuir foreign allies, wliotu thev have so assiduously court'd, have deserted them, and gone over to the Black Republicans, they wih unite with us, i.ot only in endorsing our principle» but al -o hi advocating out pdicp 9 I think we may therefore safely assume that there is nothing wrong In the abstract in this great principle ot Americanism—this idea of p eUrring our own country and our owrii country men to foreign countries and foreign men—this feeling of nationality and patriotism which prompts the wish that “Americans shall rule America!" We may al-«» set it down as an admitted fact, tliat it is not opposed to the principles or spirit of our fundamental laws, because we find it incorporated in both, the Federal nnd State Constitution-—and in regard to the highest offices known to our Federal and State governnien 4 !

THK COMMONWEALTH AND UKK NKW FINAN CIAL POLICY " e had not imagined it possible that any body could »up[Hjse tor one uiomcul that Uic financial laws lately en act* d by the Virginia Ia-gislalurv wero partisan in anv Ibim or aspect ; or that paity lines had been diawn in Ilia passage ol a single Oil* ol them , or that either political 1‘artv ol the State would, as such, attempt to shift off its I due share of responsibility lor them. W* thought it was ! a matter of universal nottuiely, that in all cases lu which these measures were th* subject of Uiscumiou and divis ion in the Legislature, they a ere, on the one hand, as ] Warmly advocated by Whigs or Know Nothings as hv Ih-iuoctal* ; and, on the other, as warmly opposed hv Democrats aa hv Whigs 01 Know Nothings. We are -me ! ae hazard iiollnng when ae express the |K>aitire convie lion that the journals of the Legislature will show sections ol l>oth political parties foliate sustained and opposed evert one of these measure* that was the subject of di vision at all. Wc regard the clloit of the li'Aiy, there fore, to give these measure* a party complexion as hope lessly futile, aud shall not be deterred by ila ingenuity in this behalf lioiu expressing, as one Democrat at least, our strong distrust of the wisdom of these measures', whenever, aa now, they become the subject ol public at tention and enquiry. In another column will be seen the advertisement which the Governor ol the Common wealth has caused to be pub lished in obedience to one of the new financial laws in question. It announces ibe anomalous tact that Virginia wishes to sell, to public bidders, her bills ol credit, traus terabit- by delivery to bearer without endorsement alter leaving the hand* ol the hist holder, aud payable or rr nrwtrfrfr, after tael re months. It is weil known that the proceeds of these bills arc the fund upon which the Slate relics to pay her semi-annual interest in June next, amounting to nearly #th*i,taa.»; and ■Iso to discharge her negotiable notes now under discount in the banks, amounting to some $iim,ot>o. It is well Ituowu that, it these Tieasury bills tail to command sale at par, then the credit of the Commonwealth will hang upon the contingency ol the Governor being able to rrurir the existing bank debt# now rapidly maturing, aud to ob tain >ir«- discounts from the same institutions to the i t tent of some fsioO.txai more—to the curtailment to that extent, id tours,- ill their usual ..Ui.. ... .1, . people All » ill admit that it thia branch of the new b faucial policy of Virginia succeeds at all, it will Ik- "a touch and go" bti.-iiuas. If this Treasury note measure stood alone, its expedi te* would be less questionable ; but it is a pjrt and pat cel ol a system ol new measures, to only one but the cbiel ol which we have room now to adveit. We allude, ol course, to the act w inch authorizes claims upon the Hoard • >f Public Works uo* due, and that shall become due be fore the first day ol October next, to be liquidated with the Commonwealth's bunds at par; and which provides no means tor the satisfaction of these claims iu cash, as the State is morally bound to satisfy them. The payments un der this law, it holders uf clan us will consent louko bunds depreciated at least 5 per cent, below par, for the cash to which they arceulitlcd, will be as follows : Cei lifted dr alls outstanding against the Board of Public Works on Ihe first ol March amount '"g “» $1,080,051 Amount borrowed and due iu New York on a pledge or hypotheca tion of State bonds, 670,000 Call* upon the Board of Public Work under existing conliacia at the rate of #12o,<hki per month from 1st March to 1st Oc tober, 1856. 875,000 Sew appropriation to the Vir gin la and Tennessee Railroad, h»r ’56, 250,000 Hall of new appropriation to the Covington and Ohio Railroad, fur 1656, 125.000 To al demands payable by 1st Oc tober, ’66, under the law in question, in Slate registered bonds, *3,000,051 The case here exhibited stands, therefore, simply thus. Upon a market lor State bonds, here at home, now flat at Vi cents in tire dollar, this last mentioned law will throw, nr the space uf seven months, al least #2,250,11011 of new’ bond* ol the registered form, which are only niaikttable within the limits ol the Stale. It will put 'these bonds, moreover, for the most pa.l, into Ihe hands ol the con tractors and laborer* upon tire public works ol the Slate, who will he obliged to sell and realize upon them at arrv sacrifice, it thus will put them nut in a maimer that makes it the interest ol capital—ail powerful capital—to depreciate the price Ol State bonds ill order that it may make the larger shave otf of their necessitous holders on forced sales. Everybody can see what the tendency ol this sudden avalanche, uirou an already prostrate market, of two and a quarter millions of home bonds, must be in the present straightened pecuniary condition of all interests iu Virginia. It i*iu this coud.tion ami this discouraging tendency ol the market lor Virginia frond-, that these additional *1, uim.OtHI of treasury note* are offered. We express**! n,r utter want'd confidence in these measures and this finan cial policy while it was yet under legislative inciibutiun.— We have been aide to discover nothing as yet to put a letter complexion on these measures, tin thecoutrary it is well known that Virginia bonds have fallen 1} per Cl lit III New Yoik since they were enacted into law-, and at least that figure here. To sum up, therefore, tli* new legislative policy iu question presents the following stub born feat-nea: Thelegi-lature adjourned without making any provision not tainted with repudiation for repaying the #U7ll,iNn borrowed in New York city and which ha* long since ma tured. The effect of such an act ol neglect or caret ssries of State faith there, mutt be very prejudicial to Virginia ciedit. The State owes sundry Virginia bank* upward* of #5<m 600, and the legislation iu question Iras niude no provision lur paying Oil mu ucui in any specuieu or certain lime; bill ha* left it* payment subject to the contingency ol selling there T.e.isury not.* at par while her build* are command ing unlr 1b cents in the ilnllar. Tliia neglect, too smacks rtrongly ol repudiation. Tin- legislation h.tr left the faith and credit of the Stale involved in the punctual payment of the next aemi-aiuiiul inteiert, dependent upon the same contingency «! selling there Treasury hill* nt par in a market flat at Hi. In oth er words, it ha* made no certain and positive provision for meeting an obligation involving the honor of Virginia, and touching the very aalration ol her credit. We do not state these plain fact* to produce alarm.— Hut in tunes of grare emergency, the public ought to know the e^act position ol afndr*, however ugly and dis couraging thi-v may appear, \Jfo mink it probable that the bank* will take these Treasury not. * ^liquidation of the debts they hold sgsiust the Commonwealth, and thus make a virtue of the necessity which her legislation has imposed upon them; hut we do not think it probable that capitalists will take the residue of these note*. It in there fore incumbent upon the Iron* slid sinew of the com munity, the sterling planters snd farmers and business men ot Ihu Commonwealth, to put their shoulders to the wheel of Slate, and, each man according to his ability, fo send in to our lioverour his order lor *.Vi, or *imi, or FUJI), Ac., of these Treasury notes.
