SENATOR ADAMS ON NATURALLY

ADAMS ON
-zATroN.-ln the National Intelligent
Ger of the 18th inst. we find a short
sketch of the speech of Mr.: ADAMS of
Mississippi, on his bill to amend the
naturalization laws. The following
statistical information will be found
interesting:
Mr.. Adams addressed the Senate at
length in support of this bill, citing
largely from statistics to show the nel
cessitv, as he conceived, of imposing
restrictions upon the excessive immil
grafton which has marked the history
of the country, within the lost five
years,
By the census of 1850, he said, there
Were $4,000 more persons residing
in the slaveholding States born in the
nonlslaveholding States than those
born in the slaveholding States residr
ing in the non'slaVeholdlng States,
By the apportionment i'll 1880, the
representation in the House of Repre-,
s~entatives was equal in each portion,
III.
BY the apportionment Of 1850, the
non'slaveholding States are entitled
to l44 and the slaveholding States to
so members-pajority 81. There
was a gain Of seven of that number
from 1910 to 1850.
The foreigners represented in the
House of Representatives. are twenty
four, twenty from non,slayeholding
States and four from slaveholding
States. Eighteen of these twenty four
arrived in the United States from 1910
to I56O-ffteen North and three in
the South, being a gain to the North
in that decade, of twelve from immil
grafton alone; but for this gain of i'm,
migration the South would have gain
ed five oil the North.
The last five years show All immir
grafton of 1,72l,5 29; average per an,
num'344;532. Should it continue at
the same ratio for the next five years,
the apportionment of 1860 would give
a gain of twenty four members from
immigration, and in fifteen years they
will have more than two thirds of the
members Of the House of Representa-.
tives, and could alter the Constitution
if the requisite majority i'll the Senate
could be obtained.

between the father and son, Meanwhile
the cheers rose long, deep and entilusias-

the cortege.
As soon as Mr.. Fillmore took his seat
in the open barouche prepared for him,
the immense crowd formed five abreast,
and getting in front of the carriages, pro-
ceeded slowly up Canal street to Broad
way, and from thence to the ST. Nicholas
Hotel, the crowd cheering during the
whole way, while banners waved from
various windows on the route, and i'm al
most every window, were ladies waving
their white pocket handkerchiefs, and
greeting him with their smiles.

ticle entitled ASPECTS Of the Canvass
says:
There is now strong reason to be-
lieve that seven~eighths of the mem
bers of the American party in the
| North will sustain Mr.. Fillmore, The
tone of Mr.. F"s. organs in that section
is triumphant. They claim Massa-
chusetts and New York as certain for
the American ticket, and say that they
stand an equal chance in every North
ern State, except perhaps Pennsylva'
MIA, which they are disposed to con.
cede to Buchanan, and New Jersey,
which Mr.. Dayton's popularity may
possibly give to Fremont. In the
South, Kentucky, Maryland, North
Carolina, Delaware, Tennessee. and
perhaps Arkansas, Missouri and Lou
isiana, are considered debatable States.
On the other hand, the Democrats talk
bravely of carrying the entire South,
and a. large number Of the Northern
States; while the Black Republicans
vaunt their strength, and boast that
they will sweep the North, North
west and California. 1t must be con-
fessed that a more uncertain contest
has seldom been witnessed.

From the New England Farmer.
GRASS--HAYING--HAY.

July is the month when the principal
portion of the hay crop in New England
is secured. 1t is our staple crop-the
one by which we mainly increase the fer
tility of our farms, and having greater
money value than any single crop pro-
duced at the South either their cotton,
tobacco, or corn crop is insignificant COM
pared with it; and New England, rocky
and sterile as much of it is, and whose
soil is condemned by those living on easi-
er and richer lands, produces surplus
for those who possess every facility for
raising it, if they had industry and knew
how.
Much of our best land for this crop
still lies waste; it is in meadow and
swamp that need either thorough reclaim
ing, or if partially reclaimed, draining
and deep blowing. When such lands
are once well set in grass, they will pro-
duce profitable crops for many successive
years, with little annual expense. An
other kind of excellent grass land is OF
granite formation, at a higher level than
the meadow, but still having land abound
in springs above it. These lands are g
heavy loan, quite often clayey loan
and generally pretty rocky. 1t is some,
times as expensive to reclaim these, as i
is the swamp, but when once swardet
and fed annually with moderate dress
ing of compost, they will produce from
two to three tons of excellent herdsgras
and red-top, for dozen years in success
ion. Such, mainly, are the lands whicl
should be devoted to grass.
/ The importance of this crop woul'
justify the farmer in making good man,
experiments, and devoting considerable
} time to an investigation of it in all ii
: bearings. We believe there is no Gro
| that is commonly cultivated, in which S
t much loss is suffered as in the hay croI
, After selection and proper preparatio
of suitable lands, and seeding and grow
ing the crop, the first error usually com
} mitted is in the

Country Life in New England.

1t is hard to draw a picture of New
England country life without making a
portrait which the fancy, at least, of many
win gift with a resemblance to their ear
" recollections. Is there not more than
one here who remembers such place as
this which is now set before him? 1t is
an looking brown house; brown
with that peculiar tint that belongs to
weather-stained pine, and is the natural
complexion Of implanted New England
houses 1t fronts with two fair stories to
the road but if you take il in flank, you
see that the roof runs backward with a
great slope to within a few feet of the
ground. One huge square chimney rises
through the center of the ridge-pole a
tall poplar, its emulous companion, has
oyertopped it, and drops few leaves ev-
cry autumn down its black throat. A
broken milestone gives a certain dignity
10 the main entrance at whose threshold
it lies. That is the barn, of course. vast,
brown, like the house, with a ring Of
swallows nests like barnacles, all around
the caves there ought to be swing in
side, and plenty of hens nests, and Sc
eret deposits of ripening apples in holes
of the haymows; we should find them
all, no doubt, if we went in and knew
where to look. Ever graceful and beau.

INcoMEs.-In comparison with Great
Britain and the countries of the Cont
nent, we have very few princely incomes
among us. A man with 100000 a
year would be an enormously rich man.
We doubt if there are half dozen in the
whole country who spend this, although
many have it. We have heard it face
tiously stated, that if he were to be placed
in room full of three cent pieces, armed
with shovel, he could not throw his in
come into basket as fast as it accumula-
ted. No doubt many millionaires hide
their incomes under basket, and many
reputed ones are glad to hide their prin-
ciple anywhere. But abroad 100000 is
a very common income. Wherever the
law of primogeniture prevails, incomes
must enormously swell.-Suaday Times.
