liberation Of the Ns.uralizasion Laws. |

liberation OF the Naturalization Laws.
We doubt very much if there is any sane
man in the Union, who does not really believe
that change in the naturalization laws of
this country is needed. Whatever may be the
politics of any citizen familiar with the genius
of our institutions, whether he be adopted or
to the ''iDan0r born, wheeler from the
North or the South,-it matters not, the ne
cessity is manifest, and its appeal to the peo
pie, is such, that il cannot slonger be di>regar
ed. The rapid influx of foreigners into our
midst, the skilful manGnvering by which,
through the influence of Papsl power they are
enabled to hold the balance of power, and
WELD it to the advantage of those who will
avail themselves of it, these things are of
sufficient notoriety throughout the Union. to
call to it the attention of the great American
people. There are tens of thousands who do
not belong to the American party, who desire
this change. aud believe it mast take place
It matters not how strongly men may be
engaged 10 the advocacy of partisan issues, the
greatlever that stands ready to overthrow
their most cherished measures, unless such
principles are conceded, has long ago sickened
and Disguised the upright portions of those
parties that have for g sine truckled to the
foreign vote, in order that they might reap a
certain advantage therefrom. We say, these
men, even though they may not acknowledge
it, know, though they do not justly appreciate
this great necessity. The reason is obvious.
There is another measure upon which all
parties will undoubtedly unite, viz: The pro-
hibition of the transporting of foreign paupers
and convicts 10 our shores. 1t is not lost to
the public mind, that years ago, President
Van Buren, officially ascertained, that in Eu-
rope criminals had been sentenced to trans
portation to the United States. Since that
time, both paupers and criminals, and known
as such, have been landed on our shores. There
is no mistake in this. They came heavily iron
ed, ard in close confinement.
This attempt, then, to render our country
penal colony, for the prisons of Europe, calls
loudly for correction. The people of the
Union demand it, and ask the attention OF Con-
gress. With this abuse, goes hand in hand.
change in the naturalization laws, and upon
both, we suppose, early action will he taken at
the coming session. We do not doubt but it
will be successful, unless it be vetoed by the
President. Should he do so, be will go out of
office with the universal execration OF all true
Americans.-R0cbester american.

For the Nashville Daily Patriot
Memphis Whig-L. j. DuPrce, Esq.
MEssRs EDITORS:
have been reading the Memphis Wig, for
several months past; particularly for the last six
weeks Its editorials have been such, not mere
ly to interest, but TO ediy They have been chaste
aud elegant, pointed and fUrcible 1t is that
so mi CHI OF strength, combined with so much Of
beauty and proprety OF expression, is 10 this
species OF composition. They have been distin.
guished, too, for sptness OF illustration, and rich
ness OF historic ausion, that would be creditsble
TO the editorial department Of any partisan paper Of
the day. The positions assumed, have been stated
with great clearness, aud the arguments to sustain
them, have been digui6ed and well considered, ex-
Eibiling, on the part of the writer, capacity for
strong systematic thought, as well as extensive
reading.
But, it has been with the lofty american tone
and sentiment, by which the editorials OF the Whiq
have been characterized, recently, that WAS most
pleased. They have breathed that patriotic spirit
and generous devotion TO our country, that anima-
ted the men who bought With their blood, and gave
to us the liberties, civil and religious, which We to-
day enjoy.
The articles, "Are foreigners the friends of the
South ?" Condition Of Italy 4" " The true cause
OF the increase of fanaticism in the NORTH - The
defeats al d triumphs OF Sam, in Tennessee" aud
number of others which ! might particularize
fully justify the style OF commentator, which
have employed.

NIGHTLY SCENE IN LONDON
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

ON the fifth of last November, /, accom-
Opanied by friend well known to the
public, accidentally strayed into White
chapel. 1t was a miserable evening; very
dark, very muddy, and raining hard.
There are many woeful sights in that
part of London, and it has been well
known to me, in most of its aspects for
many years. We had forgotten the mud
and rain in slowly walking along and look
ing about us, when we found ourselves at
eight O'Clock, before the Workhonse.
Crouched against the wall of the Work
house, in the dark street, on the muddy
payement-stones, with the rain raining
upon them, were FIVE bundles of rags.
They were motionless, and had no resem-
blance to the human form. Five great
bee-hiyes, covered with rags-fve dead
bodies taken out of the graves, tied neck
and-heels, and covered with rag would
have looked like those five bundles upon
which the rain rained down in the public
street.
.tWhat is this?n said my companion.
"What is this?"
= nSome miserable people shut out ofthe
Casual Ward, think" saideI.
We had stopped before the five ragged
mounds, and were quite rooted to the spot
by their horrible appearance. Five awful
Sphinxes by the wayside, crying to every
passer-by, "Stop and guess! What is to
be the end Of state of society that leaves
us here 10
As we stood looking at them, decent
working-man, having the appearance of a
stone mason, touched me on the shoul-
der.
"This is an awful sight Sir" said he,
ain Christian country!"
aGod knows it is my friend" said /.
"I have often seen it much worse than
this, as have been going home from my
work. / have counted fifteen, twenty
fve-and- twenty, many time It's a
shocking thing to see."
IA shocking thing, indeed" said and
my companion together. The man lin
gered near us q little while, wished u:
goodnight, and went on.
We should have felt it brutal in US who
thad a better chance of being heard than
the working -man, to leave the thing as il
was, 70 we knocked at the Workhoust
gate / undertook to be spokesman
The pement the gate was opened by al
old pauper, I went in, followed close by
my companion. lost no time in passing
the old porter, for saw in his watery eye
disposition to shut us out.
"Be so good as to give that card tt
the master of the Workhouse, and say
shall be glad to speak to him for mo-
ment."
e We were in a kind of covered gateway
and the old porter went across it with the
card. Before he had got to the door or
our left, a man in cloak and hat bounced
out of it very sharply, as if he were in the
