MARTIN KoszrA This individual is on his way to
the United States. He has been the instrument
conscious and probably unwilling, of creating some
little disturbance in the world Probably far more
has been made about him, than if he had owed his
notoricty to his endeavors would ever have been
talked in cabinets courts, or baIrooms. He is
of those cases. where greatness is thrust upon
man. And that Austria has said her say, and
Mr.. Hulsemann has heard from Mr.. Marcy, and Kosz-
ia is coming to the United States, it appears that
of our northern friends, not tired yet of max
ing fools of themselves talking about piling
the agony, making themselves ridiculous, and thrust
ing more greatness upon this individual by giving
him public reception. We should have thought
that they would have been somewhat wiser from
perence. The great number of recipients of ova-
tons who have visited our Shores have done them
selves credit, either, and if this poor devil,
whom we have rescued from Austrian prison q
gallows, should be received hero, think that
the climax will have been capped. The spectacle
will be rich one, when the gentleman, in ba-
rouche drawn by fourwhite horses shall be received
in speech from the mayor of somewhere.
The distinguished stranger be congratulated
upon his extreme exhibition of sense in going to
Turkey, upon his valiant though unsuccessful con-
duct in the with the Greeks and upon his great
presence of mind when Americans striving to
hberate him, exhibited by swearing that he
Hungarian and several little complimentary illusions
to things which he might have done and did not do.
Koszta probably will reply in pretty much the same
strain, and swear that he is an American, make
a big flourish with imagined eagle, and the crowd

sit down to supper, and make and listen to guam
tity of bad speeches, large quantity of liquor will
be drank, and next morning some of them will wish
they hadn't done it.
This man-worship Of foreigner who happens to
be distinguished notorious, is disgusting enough
and the case of KosZta, the proposed ovation, is
positively disgracefl and should be cried down from
the start. What honor can he expect for having re-
ceived American protection abroad, when his
folly had mich to do with putting him in the position
to require it?
That our officers acted as they did, the case having
occurred is subject of national congratuation; but
as for Koszta he ought to be thankful for what he
has received already. However we should not be
surprised to hear of his being made demi-god Of

The ARIsToCRACY OF MONEY AND THE NOBILITY
LEARNING. The following just reflections
in an address recently delivered by Hiram Ketchum,
Esq, the occasion of the death of Chief Justice
Jones
Sir there are now living in Europe two very dis
tingushed men, barons both very eminent in their
line, both known to the whole civilized world;
is Baron Rothschild, and the other is Baron Hum
boldt; one distinguished for the accumulation of
wealth, the other for the accumulation of knowledge.
What are the possessions of the philosopher? Why,
sir, heard gentleman whom have seen here this
afternoon, distinguished member of this communi-
ty say that a recent visit to Europe he paid his
respects to that distinguished philosopher and
admitted to audience. He found him. at the age
of eighty four years. fresh and vigorous in small
room, nicely sanded, with large deal table
cred in the midst of that ROOM containing his books
and writing apparatus. Adjoining this was a small
bedroom, in which he slept. Here this eminent
received visitor from the United States
He conversed with him; he spoke of his works.
g My works. said he, ''you will find in the adjoining
library, but 1 am too poor to own copy of them l
have not the means to buy full copy of my own
works"
Now, sir, which of these barons do you think, even
this age of gold receives the greatest amount of
the homage of the human race? speak not of the
homage of intelligent men, but of the honor paid by
the masses Let them both come here and pass
through streets, and see to which of them the
hat of the, multitude will be DOTTED with the most
cheerfulness and alacrity.
