due 10 other countries and shich some hon members thought it harsh to ask them to retnounce some of the persons al luded to it had often been told us had been magistrates and militia officers and would they be ready to acknowladge that they che rished a double allegiance no oath of abju ration is indeed reqnued but by requiring the oath of allegiance in the bill we are told that we shall bring down on our backs a host of patriots tie hoped and believed there were few such patriots in the country who if this construction of double allegiance were j admitted might in time of peace wear their red coats as militia officers oi even legislate for ihe country and for the safety and proper ty of its inhabitants but who in litue of war might find it convenient to choose a favoura ble moment for exemplifying tie doctrine of double allegiance and join pox enmis tlie people the nsdves he was convinced would disruim such an idea as this the re medy required should be freely and folly given bui nqi in such a wy as to confer privileges if they could iip so railed which biitish born subjects did not posses we wish to put them precisely on ihe same footing with ourselves to extend the relief in h fullest sense to give them all the rights of suojecis with all their obligations this was the desiie ot his majes tys government and more than this oughl not to be the desire of the house what was tin policy of the united stales in this respect ll the hon gentleman wtto had quoted from the rert of ihe legislative council of last vear had gone a mule further he would have found that an oath of adjiratiou was teq tired in that country by which the person who took ihe oath renounced all other allegiance and par- ticnljrlv to the couniry of which he had last been a subject tne government of the uni ted states with a professed liberality opened their arms to the people of every country and if they asked such a precaution independent of other requisitions before they admitted to therights of citizenship shall it be said that we offur injustice or degradation when from the citizens of the saie country we require less it had been said that by the provisions of this bill there would yet be many cases un provided for hut although this had been ad vanced as an objection none had yet been pointed out not that he doubted the bill might be defective and he would in the progress of it do all in his power to render ii complete an allusion had been made to ancient his tory and the romans had been spoken of as admitting foreigners freely to the rights of citizenship but who did not know that no nation ancient or modern ever set a higher value upon ihe peculiar privilege of being born a roman citizen in the present case all the rights and pitvilees of natural born british subjects were to be conferred and yet because certain conditions were prudently re quired for securing the proof of ihove rights to the pei sons interested it wax called degrading and unsatisfactory we were asked what we should get if we passed a law declaring them all aliens he in reply would ask what would be gained for those we wished to serve if we declined passing the law in such a shape as would alone secure to them the rights of subjects with respect to the petitions before the house against the passing of the bill he would re mark that although ihey were certainly en titled as all others were to consideration yet it would be found on examination that the persons who signed them could not manv of them he affected by the measure he had an opportunity of knowing this from his per sonal knowledge of many of the parties that from york was signed by several persons who had emigrated from great britain and could it be supposed that they have examined the measure so attentively or can be so anxious for its being properly disposed of as the many persons whose properties and rights are at stake and who have petitioned for the bill there was another petition from whitby signed by many persons born in tht province or who came from kurope and what did these petitions printed loo ask for why thai all persons should tie considered as hav ing complied with ihe provisions of 13 geo 2 and
