SPEAKER COLFAX.

In his speech at the New England dinner last night, Mr. Oolfax referred to the growth of the United States as the result of the grandeur of American Citizenship. It is the shield of American citizenship which shall make us proud and potential, and lift up our country to a prouder position among nations.

It is that which is to taach those who are clothed with solemn trust, represent* fng this great realm of freemen who rule her, not by divine right, but by free institutions, that when they stand speaking for us at the bar of any civilized nation in the world, thoy shall not on the one hand disgrace us by boastful gasconade, or on the other dishonor us by bowing the knee tben, when with that self-re-liance, that calm, that dignified American Nationality, we command tbe respeot to which our great resources and our unequalled trials, which we have survived so gloriously and auspiciously entitle us, then wo need not go into tbe markets of the world to offer gold and silver to induce those Islands of the Sea and adjacent States and provinces to cast in their lot with us, to share with us our future.

I feel ashamed at American citizens when I hear of proffers to buy Boil and sovereignty, men, women and children with gold and silver from our national treasury, to share with us in the magnificent future, as you would spurn a bride that is bought with gold, as any fair woman would spurn a husband who had been lured to her side by her wealth instead of her heart. So we as Americans shoul elevate our nationality to win those who are near to us in territorial congeniality to cast their lot with us. When voluntarily, and in a body, they ask to share with us in our destinies and our magnificent future, we should then welcome them into tbe fold of American citizens.
