NATURALIZATION.
The new
naturalization bill, reported to Congress from the Judiciary committee,
provides—
"any
alien being a free white, who was residing within the limits and under the
jurisdiction of the United States between 14th April, 1802, and 18th June,
1812, and who has continued to reside within the same, may be admitted to
become a citizen of the U. States, without having made any previous declaration
to become a citizen: Provided that whenever any person, without a certificate
of such declaration of intention shall make application to be admitted a
citizen of the U. States, it shall be proved to the satisfaction of the court,
that the applicant was residing within the limits and under the jurisdiction of
the. U. States before 18th June, 1812, and had continued to reside within the
same, or he shall not he admitted. And the residence of the applicant within
the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for at least five
years immediately preceding the time of such application shall be proved by the
oath or affirmation of citizens of the U. States, which citizen shall be named
in the record as witnesses.— And such continued residence within the limits and
under the jurisdiction of the U. States, when satisfactorily proved, and place
or places where the applicant has resided for at least five years as aforesaid,
shall be stated and set forth, together with the names of such citizens, and
the record of the court, admitting the applicant; otherwise the same shall not
entitle him to be considered and deemed to citizen of the. U. States.[1]
