Laws Of Naturalization.

We commend to the calm perusal and deep
reflection Of our counhymen, the sensible and
patriotic remarks of Senator Adams, Of Missis-
sippi, delivered yesterday in the Senate, on
the occasion Of presenting bill to change the
laws of naturalization, by fixing the term Of
probation at twenty lone, instead of the limita-
ton Of FIVE years residence. The facts and
views which he presents will not fail to ar
rest the attention of the whole country, nor
will they fail to convince the hitherto sceptical
and prejudiced minds Of our opponents, that
there is something alien to fanaticism, and
something different from Whiggery, at the
foundation Of the present movement. Senator
Adams is neither an Abolitionist, Freesoiler,
nor Wing. The Pierce and Forney presses
have teemed with abuse Of the Know Moth
ings, as Wings in disguise, and as allies to
the Abolitionists. A more Jesuitical intima-
ton was never made by prohigate party
presses.
The highminded and honorable course pur-
sued by Senator Adams, a gentleman who has
always been Democrat of the faith of Jeffer-
son, Madison, and jackson, who was born and
reared at the South, and who is the worthy,
faithful and honored representative of the peo-
pie of Mississippi, will dumbfound those hire
ling presses, who have hitherto misrepresented
the American movement and vilifed those
who have pressed forward in the glorious cause
of redeeming our country from the rule Of dem
agoguism.
Senator Adams is not member Of the Coun-
ellis of the Known othings, but has made his
movement upon his own Judgment as an indie
pendent Democratic Senator.
We have not space to-day for any comments
upon the particular views which guide him in
his proposition. It is enough to say now, that
we regard his movement az highly important,
and highly favorable to the cause we have es-
poused

Mr. ADAMS: Mr.. President I move that the

Senate while i explain the provisions Of the bill,

to be not only the highest duty Of man to him

rule applies with equal force to governments If
this position be true, the inquiry arises Is the

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

A COOP WORK CoMMENcED.-In passing
up from Chesapeake City, see that Mr..
Wortz, the Road Supervisor in the Second
District has caused quite a long string of
fence to be removed which had recently been
set out Oh the Road; and, upon enquiry,
understand that this is but the beginning, and
that he has given notice that all fences upon
the roads within his District must be so re-
moved without delay. ....
Mr.. Wortz deserves much credit for taking
this decisive step against those selfish land
holders who have SO long been in the habit
of encroaching on the highways of the coun-
ty. lie should be sustained by the people of
the district, and doubtless will be: and his
example should be followed by all Supervi-
sors in the county.
For one am opposed to opening any other
New Roads until all that arc now laid out
are opened to the lawful width, as well those
near Elkton as in all parts of the county.
