EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. LscTURe ON THE TemporaL PowsR oF THE Pors, by Rev. Mr Maguire, before the Young Catholic’s Friend Society, in Georgetewn, on Thursday evening last. The subject was forced upon him by the machinations of public men, even in Congress, and the hue and ory raised against the Pope as the greatest bugbear known to Christen- dom, and he felt it his duty to speak for the trath. [Applause] Thoee of his audience who had taken their firatideas of history from Peter Parley’s works and like romances of the age, were taught to consider the Pope as grasping at the liberties of this country—but this was but the cant of Coenen ae | fanatics, whose fancies were wortby of the Knight of La Mancha. [Ap- plause | The papacy oan alone withstand the destruc- tive power of time Venice commences when in the middle of the power of the pontiff; she has decayed, but the holy faith stands in un- diminished glory. aulay says that her numbers are greater than ever; she has seen the beginning of all nations, and it is likely that she wiil see their end. It is not and never was an article of faith that the Pope had any other than spiritual power in the state. Christ made no other pre- tensions. His vice-regents do not, nor isthere an; wn ay the Bible giving such pewer. jut the Pope, as an Italian Prince, has wer, by accident, by voluntary concession of is children; from that he can be, and has been deposed. But he cannot be bereft of his power as the head of the church, by any accident. [Applause.] It is a sylogism in the mouths of the fanat- ies of the present day, that “the Pope is a foreign Prince; that the Catholics are bound to obey the Pope; therefore they are bound to obey a foreign Prince.’’ There is as much truth init asin this: “A jackass has ears, you have ears; therefore you are a jackass.” {Laughter and continued applause. | After the seat of the Roman empire was re- moved to Constantinople, power was given the bishops to enforce the laws. When tte bar- barians invested and pillaged the country, the Roman bishops succored the distressed ple with counsel, and food, and after the Team emperor had refused to assist them against the barbarians, when he had totally deserted them, Gregory III took the sover eignty upon himself. and called in the aid of the French against their enemies. To this act are the Popes indebted for their temporal power ; and to this is the world indebted for the civilization they now enjoy; for had not this step been taken, the last faint spark of hope to the world would have been trodden out by the Lombard. Gregory took the chair at the request of the people; papacy was founded by the people, and bis little power guaranteed to him by France. Ame:isaps should be the last to con- demn a people for tresing themselves from a foreign government, aud establishing one of their own. {Applause | The Pope stiil holds his temporal power be- cause he would be acitizen of no country, subject to no earthly prince. The Popes of Avignon, and the Pairiarchs at Constantino- ple were the puppets of government under which they resided—the church would leave her leader unirametied. He holds his power for the same reason thatthe U.S. Congress erns the district in whigh they do their Nees. Tho Pope has deposed monarchs and inter- fered in State affairs in times past, because there was no international law, eo he was the mutcally appéinted arbiter of all Christen- dom Excommunication is common in all churches; any monarch who oppesed the church could be excommunicated. The Pope did net depese, he only acted as the judge in passing the sentence, awarded by universally receivedjlaw in such cases. Bat the Pope did absolve the subjects from their oath of fealty to such sovereigns in the same way and nearly the same words in which the Congress of 1776 absolved the American people from their allegiance to George III. {Loud and long applause. | But times have changed; England firat re- fused to acknowledge the authority of the Church, as he wanted another wife. Other nations refused to iisten to advice, and choose rather to decide their quarrels by the sword ; and the Pope finding bis counsels disregarded, retired from his position as arbiter, Tejoicing in conviction of duty done, which he could express in the words of our own Clay: “I would rather be right than be President.’ {Loud applause } Not many years ago England was affected with the same fear of the Pope as the dema- gogues of this country now profess, and laws were passed and rigidly enforced, disabling the Catholics from enjoying many of the rights and citizens; but by taking an oath disavowing the spiritual and temporal power of the Pope, they could be restored to these rights; they would not disown the Pope’s sptritual power, but rather to suffer. When Pitt assumed the Premiership, the Catholics petitioned against their wrongs. He swietermincd to investigate the princ:ples of their faith. To do this, be propounded the following questions to the great universities of Paris, Douay, Louvain, Alcala, Salmanca, and Valadolid : 1. Has the Pope, or Cardinals, or any bedy of men, or any individual of the Church of Rome, any civil authority, power, jurisdiction, or pre eminence whatsoever, within the realm of England? 2. Can the Pope, or Cardinals, or any body of men, or any individual of the Church of Rome, absolve or dispense with his Majosty’s subjects from their oath of allegiance, upon ay pretext whatsoever? . Is there any principle in the tenets of the Catholic faith by which Catholics are justified in not ae faith with heretics, or other | ogg ane from them in religious opin- a 1 Tensaction i ero le pesca Sniee tion, either of @ public or Each of these universities answered most un- eqivocaily in the negative. That satisfied the English, and a new oath was formed, leaving cut the Word “spiritual,” which was required of all Catholics taking afy office under Gov- ernment. This new oath required them, in the firmest manner, to disown all temporal power of the Pope, and it was taken by thous- of them; even priests and bishops took that oath, and it was also taken by Daniel O'Connell. He now cited passages from Archbishop Car- roll, Dr. England, the letter of the American bishops to the Pope, and from various Popes emsel ves, dizowning any temporal authority. And he closed by saying that the jatholics, who had first landed at St. Mary’s, who had first brought civilization and religion to the Rew world, who had struggled for temporal and religious liberty here, would be the last {0 prove recreant to the trust reposed in them by their forefathers, and the last to do aught to undermine the liberiies of America, the hope of the world. {Long continued applause. | one nireots s’ Haut was well night, to hear the fine lecture deliver Mr Griffeth, and to see the inegaifceapeete of paintings descriptive of the Assyrian Em- Pire, and the rise, glory, decline and fall of old Babylon.

Being ambitious of excelli all similar entertainments of this season, those concerned in getting it up have been careful to place it in the management of ‘gentlemen noted for their capabilities in such matters, their urbanity and désire te please. Fine music has been engaged, and Mr. J. W. Rightstine has been entrusted with the imme- diate supervision of their arrangements for the supper, &c. It will doubtless be a crowd- ed entertainment, and all attending will be happy beyond expression.

Srurpy Beccars.—Our city laws are severe upon sturdy beggars, and are justly so. The city is full of them, and probably the work house too. The hotels are troubled by them ; ladies and gentlemen walking on the streets are often stopped and obliged to give their money away in order to be rid of them. We hope the police will do justice to such swin- dlers. Miritary Dritt.—Th- Marion Rifles, ac- companied by martial » :-ic, were out last evening, and paraded tl.. ugh our principal streets, for the purpose of exercise and drill. They were under the command of their orderly Sergeant, James L. Powell, and made a very creditable appearance.

City Councils—County Roads—Township Surveyor—Viremen’s Ball—Panorama— Markets. GEoRGETowN, Jan. 20, 1855. Our City Councils had under consideration last night the following business : A memorial from Matthew McCloud and others, (preeented by Mr. Jones) praying the Corporation to place flag footways on certain portions of Fayette street; referred to the Committee on Streets. Mr. Orme, from the Committee on Claims, reported bills making appropriations for the benefit of Wm MoOsborne, Mrs. E. Lang, and to defray expenses; all of which were passed and signed. Mr. Grimes, from the Committee on Streets, asked that the Committee be discharged from the further consideration of the memorial of Mesers. Adler and Dugal ; which request was, after considerable debate, granted—yeas 8, nay 1. Mr. Berry offered the following resolution, which was passed : ftesolved, That the clerk of the Corporation be directed to furnish the Boards, at their next meeting, with a statement of the condi- tion of the finances of the town at the close of the year 1854 They algo had under consideration a bill making an appropriation of $800 for the bene- fit of the levy court. This is a portion of the amount claimed to have been expended in re- pairiog roads in Washington county west of Rock Creek, and for which our Corporation is held responsible. We do not know the amount of responsi- bility attached to our Corporation in relation to this matter; but it seems to us to be a very unreasonable demand. We admit there is some show of justice in requiring our Corpor- tion to assist in keeping the main roads in re- pair; but to be taxed for keeping in repair every bepaih, cross-cut, and farm road, is un- reasonable and unjust. If we are correctly informed, many of the toads, for the repair of which this appropria- tion is asked, has been formed for the special benefit of the farmers and others residing im- mediately upon them, and without which the could not reach the main thoroughfares lead. ing to market; and to expoot Georgetown to keep such roads in repair simply because we furnish them with a market for their produce, end sell them their groceries, &c., is perfectly preposterous, from the fact that without them their farms and gardens would be of but little service to the n. The Vigilant Fire Company are making ex- tensive arrangements for their ball for the benefit of the poor, on Tuesday evening, 23d inst., at Forrest Hall, Mr. Forrest, the gen tlemanly proprietor, having tendered the free use of the Hall for the occasion; and as the Vigilant boys never do things by halves, we may expect to hear of something handsome as the net proceeds. The company will parade on Monday afternoon, 22d inst., fully equip- ped, with Prosperi’s band, marching through several of our principal streets, and visiting Georgetown College in their route—an invita tion having becn extended to them by Presi- dent McGuire. The company will be one of the largest that ever assembled in Forrest Hal! on euch an occasion, no doubt. Mr. K P. Dodge, who was elected our cor- poration surveyor, has declined serving, and tendered his resignation to the city councils. It was laid upon the table, for future action. Forrest Hall was well filled again last night by our citizens, to see Stanley's Indian and his home, the magnificent far west. This evening will be the last opportunity of seeing it. We would therefore advise all who canto go. Either of the most prominent tcenes rep- resented is worth more than the fee required for admission. We have no change to note in the prices of flour or wheat. Market for both articles less active, and inclined to droop. Spgcrator. ———_———X—X—X MARRIKD. On the 12th instant, by the Rev.
