Cox has beer, mentioned for the position cf First assistant Secret tary of State, which place was made vacant by the resignation of Hon. James I). Porter, of Ten nessee.

A 8 the American eagle swoops down from his lofty home in the Rocky Mountains, he looks down upon the land of liberty. A j nation of prosperity, peace and j happiness. But how - long can we enjoy thec blessing, if we continue to receive into our midst the hcrde of immigrant", hn arch ist?i h i 1 ists n n d heathens who are daily setting foot on our shores? A large part of the im migrants who come to the United States are the scum and scrap ings of nearly every country on the globe. " V ho is it that makes dissatisfaction, causing strike?, riots and troublesome disorders ? Who is it that would annihilate our government and trample the American flag into the .dnsi? Who is it that would discard the marriage rite, every principle of honeslv and justice, and who hold with contempt all that we bold most sacred? It is this same class of immigrants whom we so gladly welcome to our shores. The majority of ..them are without means or jthe inclina tion to do anything to helD them- -- - w . a selves. They are a mere burden on our government, and will, like the viper, sting their bene- factors at the first opportunity. This class bf people are pouring hho our: country a- me rate oi millions annually, and the evil effects have already been felt more than once, and if something ia not-done to stop the iuflux, we may live to regret it. .
