Let me, for the purpose o! this discourse, forget that you are unreas onable, inconsistent, thistle-eating donkeys, led by one of the most ob stinate and illiterate of your own kind; but treat you as American citizens, upon whom—unexpectedly to you— baa fallen the duties and responsibili ties of government, through the ex ercise of privileges denied you in the oo mtries of vour birth, and unwisely accorded you by ours. What iait of which you complain What hare we as American citizens done to you that we ought not to have io Be? What act toward you have wc left undone that we ought to have done ? How is it that yon, citi- (zbss by adoption, clothed with nil tire prerogatives of American nationality, have arrayed yourselves in opposition to uur country ami its laws ? Why is it that every Sabbath-day now for more than a year, in rain and snnshine, in heat and cold, you have come here to the sand-]<>t to hear American citi zens ami American institutions abused, vilified, denounced, and threatened ? How is it that you, the meanest ami moat ignorant part of our foreign pop nlation, have organized ourselves into a distinct party, threatening to hurt, property and destroy lives, to carry out your peculiar ideas ? What mis erable infatuation has seized upon you that you tliink to be allowed to man age osr political affairs ? And what madness induces you to think you will be indulged in controlling when you ought humbly to follow ami modestly to submit ? Do you exalt your ig. norauce over our intelligence, and your vassalage to kings over our pu pilage to institutions ot republican lib erty?—your ignorant and inforced abasement to Church and State over our birthright of freedom? Di you remember the conditions from which you fled in your native lauds? Do yen forget that in Prussia or Ireland tor the utterance of your incendiary language you would be punished by imprisonment ami fine? Do you rec ognize that while this is a land ,.f fr.edom and free speech it is still a land of law ? If you had stayed at home, you Germans would have been compelled in the interests of the Ger man Empire to have served in die army Do you Irishmen understand that if voa hud stayed in your native land you would have enjoyed no right to make laws, and no right to break them except at the penalty of the tread-mill ? Aud all ot you foreign ers, o£ whatever European nationality you may be, hare you forgotton that in your own country you were but peasants, compelled to Libor fi r iuad- equate wages, and only perm Sited to denounce authority at the peril of your lives and liberties? There, you were serfi landless, propertyless, ami hopeless of advancement. Here, yon are freemen, sovereigns, clothed with political power, and in your Ignorance .and base ingratitude you are shame fully betraying the confidence that has been placed in yoa, and returning with mast vile and unprincipled acts, the kind things that have Men done you.

You have placed difficulties iu the way of legislation. The brutal and cowardly motto that the “Chinese must go” is a piece of! absurd demagogiara. The Chinese that arc here are here under History of a Familiar Prov erb. In an old scrap-book, compiled from English newspapers of the early part of the Eighteenth century, I find, among a world of curious things and an ocean of wretched poetry, the fol lowing relation concerning the origin of a phrase that is quite as much in use to-day as it could have been a hundred and seventy years ago. have copied it verbatim et literateur in order to show the style of printing in those days, when substantives anil the invitation of an American treaty,! often the more important words were and while it is well and desirable to [ dignified with capital letters.

You know this, and you know that the threat id a contemptible and coward ly one. You do not intend to carry iL out, and what is more, you dare not attempt it- You claim to want to labor. The sand-lot is not the place to find it. You have the sense to know, and if not sense, yon have had the experience to demonstrate, that your present mode of angry agitation is making labor less, and reducing wage*. Capi tal and labor are mutually dependent upon each other. It you intimidate capital, it is timid and hides itself. While it is hiding you are starving. It never comes forth at threats. It never circulates in times of violence and danger. Before this agitation commenced you were prosperous.

Sir ; I bad the Pleasure of passing a very agreeable Evening in a mixed Company of both sexes, where the Conversation happening to turn upon the Propriety of that Power winch Men usually arrogate to themselves of ruling over their Wives with despot- ick Sway, a young Lady of Wit and Humor, then present, replyed, “it might possibly be so sometimes, but much oftener the grey Mare in the better Horse and very obligingly entertained the Company with the following Account of the Rise of that proverbial Saying which is made use ot when a Woman governs her Hus band : A G ndeman of a certain County in England, having marryed a young Lady of considerable Fortune, and with many other Charms, yet finding, ir. a very short Time, that she was of high domineering Spirit, and always contending to be Mistress of him and his Family, he was resolved to part with her. Accordingly, he went to her Father and told him he found his Daughter of such a Temper, aud was so heartily tired of her that, iflie would take her to her Home again, he would return every Penny ot her Fortune. The old Gentleman having en quired into the Cause of his Com plaint, a-ketl him, ‘‘why he should be more disquieted at it than any other married Man, since it was the common Case with them all, and consequently no more than be ought to have ex pected when he entere l into the Mar riage State ?” The young Gentleman desired to be excused, if he said he wife so far from giving his Assent to this Assertion, that he thought him self more unhappy than any other Man, as his Wife had a Spirit no Wav j counter jumper, to be quelled ; and as most certainlV j ‘Well, here are three dozen,’ no man, who had a sense of right and j toe fat party, and i’ll take it in wrong, conTd ever snbmit to be gov- co.’ erned by his Wife. “Sou, (said the old Man) you are but little acquainted with the Wurld if you do not know that all Women govern their Hus bands, though not all, indeed, by the same Method: however, to end all which he was invited to choose which Horse in toe Team he liked best, and to accept of it as a Present. A black Gelding struck the Fancy of the Gentleman most; bat the Lady des'red he would choose the gray Mare, which she thought would be very fit for the Side saddle, her Hus band gave substantial Reasons why the black Horse would be most useful to them; but Madam still persisted in her Claim to the gray Mare. “ What (said she) and will you not take her then? But I say you shall; for 1 am snre the gray Mare is much the better Horsed—“Well, my Dear,(re plyed the Husband) if it must be so” —“Yoa mast take an Egg(replyed the Gentleman Carter) as I must take all my Horses back again, anil en deavour to live happy with my Wife.” Zeno.
