Well, it ia said time works changes, and it little time has worked a ivcmderthl change in this Senator Wasos. The log- Wature of Massadsusettr,at italatemession, passed an act submitting the question to a vote of the people whether a foreigner shall wait two years after naturalization—, making his entire probation seven years-- before be shall be allowed to vote. This act was a tub thrown to the American element in the Republican party--the managers shrewdly calculating that they would be able, with the help of the Demo crats, to defeat it before the people, and thus, while they would satisfy their legion of foreign voters by its defeat, the Ameri can legion would ascribe the sacrifice of their darling measure to anything but the right muse. it was a vrell Conceived "trick," but as things look now it is likely not to win. The Denmerataarediapoeed to stand back and let the two wings of the party settle the question among themselves.-- Seeing this, several prominent Neiv ' Eng land Republicans have been compelled to show their hands when they wonkl mush preferred to have played Muni.
