There is another desired reform in tbil

There is another desired reform in this
law, about which | wish 10 venture a few
remarks, before closing; and that is, the
lengthening Of the probationary period, or
residence Of foreigners in this country, be.
fore being admitted to share the privileges
enjoyed by native citizens. l think the
necessity Of this reform is obvious; for at
the rate at which foreign emigrants hove
been pouring into our midst, within the past
few years. and the large yearly accessons
to our foreign vote il cannot but be appa-
rent. that the proportion is far too great to
the native vote-the effects Of which can
not be forelod, but are TO be feared, and
we had, therefore, better keep on the safe
side, by extending the probationary period
Of their residence to double, and if necessa-
ry, treble the present length. There is still
another reason why think this should be
done. 1t is almost impossible, for the ma
jority of foreigners at least to become suf.
ficiently Amercanized, and acquainted with
our institutions, or to understand the polit-
ical affairs of the nation, in so short q peri
I'd as FIVE years, as TO be justly entitled TO
exercise equally, with native citizens, the
right of suffrage; and they therefore be-
come easy victims to political kuaves, and
are made use of rs tools in carrying out
their corrupt designs. No true American
can wish to see otherwise than a reform il
this respect, as such a reform will ccrtainly
tend to purify the political elements Of oul
republic,
In conclusion, I would sum all up anC
say, that the two following amendment
would be rery desirable, and such as
would be highly pleased to see made:
1st. A more uniform rule Of naturalizl
ton, by making it absolutely necessary 70
an alien to apply for citizenship, to Unit
ed States Court, and 10 none oMer.
2d. An extension of the period Of resi-
dence in this country, before becoming en-
titled to enjoy equally with na.ive-born cit
izens, the privileges vouchsafed to us by tn
Constitution. AMERICANUS.

The New Alliance.

In speaking of the alliance lately formed
by England and France, with Austria, in
which the latter power sides with the AL
lies, the New York Tribune says:
Nobody appears to imagine that Aus
tria enters into this Alliance otherwise than
under the pressure of necessity. She ap-
pears to side with France and England be-
cause Palmerston and Louis Napoleon say
to her, ave can stand your neutrality no
longer; you must side with us, or we raise
Hungary, Italy, Poland. against you" 1t
is probable also that heavy subsidy from
the British ExcheQuer is part of the con.
sderation for this engagement. Austria
obtains this money, (which she sorely
needs,) guaranty of the maintenance Of
her i'll gotten and worse.kept possessions,
and present immunity from the Revolution
airy tempest lowering darkly on her hori-
zon. In return she engages to do-what ?
To make war on Russia next Spring, in case
the Gar does not meantime accede to reas.
enable terms of peace. Well: suppose q
coquetry of negotiation should be carried
on at Vienna for two or three months, and
then Austria should decide that the Czar's
propositions are reasonable, and that for the
obstinacy and extreme pretensions of the
Allies. peace might be made; what then
There will be loud talk of Austrian peril
dy, of course; but there is nothing very
novel in that. We suspect Count Buo
would survive it.
"On the whole, we advise Louis Napole
on and Palmerston to make their hay Will,
the sun shines. They, doubtless, want mo

long. Let them take advantage of the mo
Gnentary FOOLS paradise their new achieve
ment has created, and push through thei
loans with all dispatch. There is no tim
like the present time"
The Tribune concludes with this piec
Of advice, which strikes US as being prett
near the truth:
"Finally, let our own people keep clear c
this quarrel. in feeling as well as in fact

The probate Judge is undoubtedly a

then he acts not through any particular

in Tie most fees.able way. In other words
he loves them about seventy five cent;
