The Burlinjrton therefore holds its riirht of way and franchises le gally, but there will be no more ques tion of removal from the state to the United States courts.

Many Lng, lish citizens have for years refrainec from being naturalized, as they though no good would accrue fr') the act. but Mr Cleveland's administration has been so favorable and friendly toward Eng land, so kind in nt t ub reing the relal iatorv net passed by coiigref.s, so sound on tlie free trad., question and so u, tile to the dvnumitt! school 01 Ireland that bv the hundreds - yes bj the thousands- tiny have become nat nraiized for the xpr.-.-s purpose ol helping to elect him over again. 1 IU one above nil of American politicians, they consider their own and their dun try's b.-st friend. I am among thcs unfortunates, with a right to vote Jot president iu November. I am tinabU to understand for whom I shall cast my ballot, w hen but one month ago 1 wal sure Mr. Cleveland was the man. Could I feel and think lie was pursuing a lol icy toward Canada temporarily for th sake of gaining Kipularity and continu ation of his office four year more, bul intends to cease his policy when his re election is secured in November and again favor England's interest, then J should have 110 further doubts, but pc forward and vot ! for him. 1 know of no one better able to direct mo, sir, and I most respectfully ask your advice iu the matter. I will further add that the two men, Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Harri son, are very evenly matched, and n few votes may eh'Ct either one. Air. Harri son is a high birill man. a believer on tho American side on all questions and undoubtedly an enemy to British inter ests generally. This state is equally di vided between tho two parties, and 8 mere handful of our naturalized coun trymen cau turn it either way. When it is remembered that a small state (Col orado) defeated .Mr. Tilden in 1HT0 and elected Haves, the republican, flic Wl portanee of California is nt once appar ent to all. As you are at the fountain head of knowledge on tho question, and know whether Mr. Cleveland's present policy is temporary only, and whether he will, as soon as he secures another term of four years iu the presidency, suspend it for one of friendship and free trade, I apply to yon privately and con fidentially for information, which shall in turn bo treated as ent in lv secret Such information would put me at rest myself, and, if favorable to Mr. Cleve land, enable me, 011 my own responsi bility, to assure many of our country men that they could do England 0 ser vice by voting for Cleveland and against the republican system of tariff. As Z before observed, wo know not what to do, but look for mora light on a mys terious subject, which the sooner it comes will better serve truo Englishmen in casting their votes.

Tho letter also contained gross reflections upon tho conduct ol tins gov ernment in respect to questions HOW III controversy and unsettled 1 -t ween the United States and Great JJnluin, ami both directly and indirectly imputed in tr in such conduct. To this let ter the 'British minister at once replied from Beverly, Mass., under dato of September 13. last. In his reply he stated that "any political party which openly favors the mother country at the present moment would lose popularity, and that tho party in power is i dly aware of this fact; and that in respect to tho questions with Can ada which have been unfortunately reopened since the rejection of tho (lMberies treaty by the republican majority in the senate and by tlie presi dent's message, to which you allude, allowances must be made for th". polit ical situation as regard:! the presidential election." The miuiMer thus gave liisi a.Ke!)t and sanction to th aspersions and imputations above referred to, and thus, under his correspondent's assur ance of secrecy, in which the minister concurred by marking his answer "pri vate," be undertook to udvisi! a citizen of the United States how to exercise tho franchise of huffi-ago in the election close at hand f r the presidency mid vice presidency of tho I nited States, and through him, as the hitter suggested, to influence the votes of iiia.iy others. Upon this correspondence b.-iog made public the minister received rpresenta tives of the public press, and in frequent interviews with him, intended for pub lication, added to the impugnments which ho had already made of the good faith of this govern men t in its publio action and international dealings. Aitnougn ampin time and opportunity has been offered him for a disavowal, modification or correction of the stato mcnts, to some of which his attention was called by tho undersigned, yet no such disavowal or modification has been made by him through the channels in which bis statements fust found public ity. The que-tioii is thus presented whether it is compatible with the dig nity, security and independent sove reignty of the United Stat.-B to permit a representative of a foreign government iu this country not only to receive and answer without disapproval and confirm by his repetition aspersions upon its jHiliticiil action, but also to interfere iu its domestic affairs by advising perous formerly his countrymen hk to their political cour-e as citizens of tho United Slates. As between this country and Great Britain there can be no contro versy, as there is a complete severance of the ties of original allegiance by nat uralization, liisputes on this point were finally put at r. st by thu treaty of naturalization concluded by the two countries on May IIS, Therefore, it will not be contended, nor was such contention ever admitted by u', that the citizens of the United States, of British origin, ure subject to any claim of tho country of their original allegiance. The undersigned also has the honor to call attention to this provision of sco tion OttW of the revised statutes of the United States: Who, without authority or permission of this government, "com mences or carries on anv verbal or writ ten correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government, or any agent or officer thereof," either with intent to influence the action of such government or its agents or with intent to defeat the measures of the government of the Uni ted States. Penalties ore made equally applicable to every citizen of the Uni ted States, not duly authorized, who 'counsels, advises, or ossists in any such correspondence with similar un lawful intent." The undersigned re spectfully advises that the attention of the attorney general of the United States be directed to these enactments, in order that an investigation may bo made with a view to ascertain whether they have riot been violated in the pres. cut Chun by the correspondence with be British minister. By your direc tion the attention of tho British govern ment has, 111 a spirit of comity, been called to the conduct of iu minister, as above described, but without result.
