r. We,re constrained to pronounce the above
extract from the leading article IN Saturdays
Albany Argus 4 tissue Of wilfnl, deliberate false
hoods M. Adams in presenting a petition for
the change proposed, declared himself opposed to
the PRAYER Of the petitioners, though he desired
that they should have affair hearing, as was right
Had We been in Congress, we should have voted
to refer this whole sabjcct OF Naturalization TO
Committee before which Committee it would be
clearly demonstrated that the evils Justly COM
planned of grow out of abuses and cvaslons OF the
provisions Of the existing laws, and all that IS
needed is provision for the due enforcement Of
these laws. 1t was never contended nor enacted
that fugitive feons and dissipated outcasts from
the Old World should be permitted to become
citizens. The law is clear on this points and yet
every Election witnesses thorough raking by
Tammanv ,ninions Of the neighborhood oithe Five
| Points Corlaer'S Hook, &c. for the raw material
out OF which voters arc manufactured at dollar
head, paid from the party purse. Now this Is all a
shameful violation Of the intent and the provisions
| of ,he Naturalization Laws it is deep wrong es-
peciallv to our honest and reputable Naturalized
Citizens, on whom it brings wholly undeservet
rcproach and enmty. Let the laws be so modl-
fed as TO require each Declaration of Intentions
70 be published, stating the name, birthplace
and present residence of the candidate for citi-
zenship, (all occupying but one line IN list like
our present Lists OF Lettcrs) let the present cxor
3ilant legal charge for Naturalization be reduced
10 dollar and the applicant be requirec to swear


nat he acts on his own suggestion and allows
no man to pay the COST directly or indirectly
and VIC should soon have an end Of the calnor
.ga;nst Naturalization The business is wrong,
IS noyg managed, and none will admit 1t moro
readily than the honest Adopted Citizens. They
arc shamcd and degraded when they hear that
rammanv Hall has made thousand new voters
ora pending Election. AS tho law IS now admins


ered, q runaway London thief can get Natural
zcd with perfect facility and impunity, even
though he be pursuing his old trade here. This
ought to be stopped, and will be. But there IS
no more likelihood that the term Of probation
sill be extended 10 twenty-one years than that
the Niagara will run up the Great Cataract, or
| lanes X. Polk be chosen President or any other
incredible thing The irresistible tendency is Gu
tirely the other way. And the Argus, when Ii


.ssc.ts that the twenty-onc years principle is
oow enrolled in the Wing creed" IS "madc a
distinct issue" by the Wings, SC. &c. is guilty
Of the grossest, guliest untruth Not onc,ten'h


Of the Wing papers has ever countenanced any


such principle.
