Resolvea, By the Senate and House
of Representatives, in General Court
convened, That concurring substantially
with the General Assembly of the State
of Rhode Island and Providence planta-
tions in the resolutions submitted by his
Exeeiiency tho -GoEernes, !" Our Sena=
tors and Representatives in Congress be
and they are hereby requested to urge
upon the consideration of Congress the
necessity ofpassing law imposing se-
we're penalties against the Introduction
or importation into this county of for
eign paupers, and foreign criminals,
since the introduction of the first named
class of foreignersis is calculated to i'm
pose unreasonable taxes upon American
citizens, and of the latter class to cor:
rupt the public morals, and endanger
the public safety"
a.Resoleed, That our Senators aud Rep
resentatives in Congress be, and they
are hereby requested, to use their best
exertions to procure the passage, by the
National Legislature, of new natural
ization law, which shall require previ-
Gus continuous residence of not less
than ten, nor more than twenty-one
years in this country, to enable an alien
to becolue a citizen thereof; and that
all processes and oaths to be required
by such law, shall be required to be had
and taken exclusively before some cir
cult or district court of the United
states, and before the judge or judges
thereof, in open court.
Resolued, That his Excellency the
Governor be requested to transmit cop
les of the above resolutions to our Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress,
to be by them presented to their respect
i've Houses of Congress, aud to the Gov
eruors of other States, with request
that they be communicated to the Leg
islaturo thereof.

how A cu1LENo CAN DIE.

4 HOW cHILENo CAN DIE.
A convicted culprit named Sebadc
was executed at Jonora, California
He addressed the spectators in Spanish
from the gallows, as follows:
He said if he had been an American
he would hot have been molested, and
he advised all Spaniards whenever they
met man with white skin and fair
hair to put a knife into him, up to
the hilt He complained much of in
justice, but he would now show the peo-
pie how Chileno could die. He insist.
ed upon having woman brought upon
the scaffold to play the harp for him to
dance his way out of the world, other
wise he would die unhappy. In conclu-
sion, he said if any one present desired
to send word or money to their friends
where he was going, he was just the man
to take it.
EFFECT OF SLANDER.
A man named Amos Barrett, agent
for Wells, Fargo & Co., committed su-
icide at Sacramento, California. He
was impelled to the deed by chagrin
caused by the appearance of a newspa-
per article rejecting upon his character,
The San Francisco Herald says:
It is difficult to imagine more mel
ancholy circumstance than the suicide of
this man. He was respected and es-
teemed by many but it appears that he
had some malicious enemy who evident.

tion of men for the Legislature who will

that in every county they nominate no
man as Representative or Senator who
is not member of the Order. The OBJ
ject of this " Republican party, at
tenpt as they may to o'disguise the fact
is TO deny to our brethern whose misfor
tune it is to have been born upon a
foreign soil, the rights and privileges of
American citizens, while at; the same
time they are striving to elevate the ne
grocs to a perfect political equality with
the white citizen. In the four Eastern
States above named, that party have de-
velopcd their policy upon this subject
by the passage of laws prohibiting their
courts from natuEalizing foreigners,
while in two of them, Massachusetts
and Maine, negroes are allowed the
privileges of citizens after bare resi-
dence of one year. In Maine and New
Hampshire these republicans have
passed a law designed to cut off from the
ballot box even those who have already |
been naturalized, BY requiring them to
present their NATURALIZATION papers to the
Board of Alderman or Selectmen of
each ward and town, aSd satisfy that
board of the genuineness of the papers

them, and also of their own identity as

The Robins Nest.


Beside a stream. whose limpid breast
Revealed the shining sand below,
A simple robin built her nest,
And waited for her young to grow.
Her artless song was often heard,
As homeward to her brood she flew,
And when the rosy daylight stirred
Her music filled the welkin blue.
A reckless boy at last espied
The nest, and made the prize his own;
And when the mother homeward hied,
Twas but to fiud herself alone.
Twas pitiful to see her grief,
And listen to her mournful cry;
She sought in vain to find relief,
And folded up her wings to die.
marked that boy. He grew apace,
And was at last in years man;
Yet ever covered with disgrace,
That followed some discovered plan.
/ watched him with curious eye,
Expecting some sad fate to see;
1 saw it as he passed to die
A wretch upon the gaf!ows tree.
Oh, sinner ! heed the lesson Taught:
Hast thou e'er spoiled robins nest
Has not thy reckless act been fraught
With anguish to mothers breast?
God help theel for I know no deed
So merciless as thine has been.
And much fear thy heart must bleed
Forever for thy dreadful sin.
Oh, if there be doom more dread
Than others on the Judgment day,
1t sure must be for him who led
a pure and loving girl astray.
There may be pardon for the knave,
And mercy for the wretch who stole,
But Heaven fear me, ne'er forgave
The murder OF u human soul
