To J. R. Tucker, Esq., Attorney General of Virginia.-- Dear Sir: The undersigned have seen published in the Richmond Dispatch an opinion that our foreign citizens would violate their oaths of naturalization by voting for candidates advocating the severance of Virginia from the Union. Please give us your written opinion of same. Respectfully, Louis Antelotti, M. Seagers, T. C. Burns, John Dwyer, Hermann Schurichtz, Lud. Hoyer. Richmond, Va., Jan. 31, 1861. Richmond, Jaected by the Federal Government. The right of Virginia to secede from the Union of States is as clear as, I think clearer than, the right of a citizen to withdraw from his native land. The right of secession by a State is, therefore, stronger than the right, of expatriation by the citizen. I regret the length of my letter, which I trust you will excuse, as I desired to meet the whole difficulty presented by your inquiry. I am, very respec'y, your ob't serv't, fe 1--3t J. R. Tucker.
