A NUT FoR NArlvIsTs.-The Column
bus correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette, under date Of the 18th inst,
says:
sin the House, the instructions to
our Congressman to oppose any al
iteration in the naturalization laws,
we're reported back. with some tri.
fling amendment. Mr.. Flinn,'yMr.
Reemelin. and Mr.. Archibold were
on their feet; the two former wanted
the question taken as a test question:!
This was done by yeas and nays,
when, to their amazement. only three
members opposed the'passage of the
resolution! which was, that it was. at
this tins, inexpedient to alter the
naturalization laws. So this test
question turns out to be no question
at ALL"
Thus. in the House of Representa-.
tives OF Ohio, a majority of the MEM
bers of which are wings, only three
men could be mustered to vote in ia
vor Of any alteration of the naturali.
cation laws. We doubt whether the
the A6origines Ear parade more than
twelve or fourteen men in the popu-
lar branch of Congress. The CORES.
pendent of the Gazette is right in de-
claring that "this test question turns
out TO be no question at ALL" Nativ-
ism is hostile to the national feeling.

Beyond the reach ofmortal strife
Where holy beings never war,
Or mingle in porpleIing strife.
THE ills that trouble and destroy
The suns shine of our happy hours,
Meier reach this cline Of perfect Joy,
This worEl OF happiness and flowers.
No envy cr revenge is known
In this unsuliied land Of peace.
Bot beings round a dazzling throne
Brssths a pare atmosphere Of bliss.
Oh that I were q spirit there.
Far from the envious, grovelling crowd,
Who worship wealth on earth, TO share

And distance stars along the road.
