CoxanrssmayN Cox's glowing speech on the census returns, or rather his enlogy on “my country, 'tls of thee,” rominds us of Col. Dlver, editor of the New Yurk Rowdy Journal, who met Martin Chuzzlewit on the wharf upon the oceaston of the landing of that unfortunale young Englishmsn on these shores, with Mark 'T'apley at his heels, Said that great and good Amerienn citizen 1o Martin: “You have brought, I see sir, the usunl mmount of miscry, and poverty, amd ignorance, and crime, to be located in the bosom of the great Republic. Well, air! lot ‘e come on In shijr-loads from the old coun- try; when vessels nre about to founder the ratsaro eald to leave ’em. Thero Is consid- erabla of truth, I tind, in that rqmark.” If we may judge by the glowing reports sent to the country, and the congratulations sald to have Deen shiowered upon him, Mr. Cox must hnve exhibited In Wis great act the elo- quence of Col. Diver, the force and spirit of Jefferson frick, and the patriotism and forvor of tho Rowdy Journal. Nu doubt Mr, Cox’s specch will, like Jlr. Brick’s arti- cles, be very “obnoxious to the DBritish Parllament and the Court of St. James.” It i3 ta be presumed that the Queen of England, and the rest of the Royal funlly, after rend- Ingz Mr. Cox's speech, will envy and hate the peopla of the Unlted States on necount, equally,” of *‘our” greatness and *‘our virtue,! “Wae are a simart peonle here, and ean ap- precinte smartuess,” salil Col.
