pious John Bull.

John Bull is plous-'vcry-so long as
piciy can bc quoted at premium, but
should the market become the least bit
unsteady, with a downward tendency,
John has'ens to getrid Of his stock as
qui,kly as possible. Yea, John is pious,
and his pug nose is continually turned up
ia horror at the wickelness Of "theso yer
Mounsicrs," or them hin6dcl Indoos,"
and lie contributes money, Bibles. calicoea
and cutlery for their conversion. But
Jchn is a philanthropi,t, and, in the in
tsrest Of humanity and freedom, is ready
to extend helping hand to every str ug-
Cling people, in order to assist them in
obtaining, or maintaining what he con,id-
ers their liberties. John has, however,
very peculiar ideas Of liberty aud hupri-
ness, which vary somewhat, in accordance
with the geographical position of the peo-
plo requiring his care. Outside Of the
British Islands, liberty is the right Of tho
people to rJel when they please. In
England it consists ina good supply Of
beer and plum pudding. In Scotland It
consists in the right to wear trousers o.
not, at The optics of the individual. In
Wales it consists in the right to be born,
to live and to die under ground; whilst in
Ireland, itconsists in The righ. to suffer
in this world, in order to earn happiness
in the aext-thc shorter tie period efpro-
baton here, the more pleasing Paddy's
exit TO john Bull. Some may think th,
several parts ofthis beautiful theory DO not
hang very cOmpac.ly together but these,

or eOpperhe,d Americans, eager for a
quarrel with the elder branch Of tue glo-
rious Angle Saxon family, and consc.
qucntly their opinions are to DO cscliowed

In accordance with this theory the Irish

tho census shall be taken by the United

than twenty thousand persons. The as
