ry-The Richmond Wing publishes the
late speech of Senator Adams of Missi sipri,
a Democrat call over" who has proclaimed
himself most unequivocally Know Nothing
in sentiment, in his effort to extend the time
for naturalizing foreigners. The Wing says:
sThe speech is therefore, entitled to inn
partial consideration at the hands of our
Democratic friends, not only on account Of
the intrinsic merits Of the proposition itself,
but because the attempt has been made to
delude them with the belief that none but
Wings and Know Nothings contemplated a
reform of orr naturalization laws. This idea
is now exploded and it turns out t,at Dem
ocrats themselves evince greater anxiety
upon this subject than any body clse Let
there be no mistake about it We wish it
distinctly understood, for the sake of truth
and in the interest Of history, that the first
tocsin of war against 70 reigners-not as We,
but as Democrats, call its sounded by
distinguished Democrat in the responsible
capacity of Senator of the United States s."

10 '..No snow falls lighter than the snow of

as emphatic. The scripture represents age
by the almond tree, which bears blossoms of
