PE “TRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT” IN CONGRESS Slashing Speech of Mr. Toombs in the Senate. x SPEECH OF MR. CORWIN IN THE HOUSE, &e., &., &e. @ur Special Washington Despatch. ‘Wasmuctoy, Jan. 24, 1860, ‘THE SPEECHES OF MRESRS. TOOMBS AND @ORWIN. Tho distinct announcement in the Senate to-day by Mr. ‘Jeombs, that the South will go out of the Union if a black vepeblican President is elected, excites considerable fecl- ‘ing, coming as it does from a grave Senator, but is some- ‘whet neutralized by the speech of Mr. Corwin in the Hewse today, which takes the ground that neither te South, nor any State in the South, will bs aBewed to go out of the Union. Mr. Corwin eecupied three hours yesterday and four hours to-day. Derg Mr. Corwin’s specch several attempts were made to interrupt him, but he declined yielding, with but ene or two exceptions, even for a ballot. When appealed te'by Mr. Winslow, all parties were willing to have a bal- Jet, Dut the friends of Mr. Corwin declined to have him ext off in the midst of his argument, supposing he would eenclude in time to take a ballot, which proved a mistake. ‘THE SPRARERSHIP, Bad a ballot been taken to-day, the result would have been about the same as formerly, no change having taken piece sufficient to produce a result on either side. ‘For several days a report has been in circulation thet feme of the South Americans would vote fer Mr. Corwin, md thus force the republicans to go tohim. Another ru- mor is that Messrs. Briggs, Riggs, Adrain and Clark, will ‘vete for Mr. Pennington, and thus dictate terms to the re- pablicans. Neither of these projects will divert enough of the friends of Mr. Sherman away from him to eleot either @erwin or Pennington. Since Mr. Corwin’s speech to-day it is doubted whether te Americans will pursue the course indicated. Before the speech of Mr. Pryor, a few days since, in which he reoommended the republicans to take down Sherman and put up Corwin or Pennington, the republicans might possibly have been induced to concentrate upon one of these gentlemen, a8 an experiment, if nothing more, but the republicans assert now that they will never do it, be- ‘enase it would appear as though they were following the dictation of Pryor. Ihave reason to believe that neither Clark nor Briggs will vote for Pennington, notwithstanding the report, APPOINTMENTS CONFIRMED—RATIFICATION OP THE CHINA TREATY. ‘The Senate in executive session to-day confirmed a large ‘umber of Postmasters, Marshals'and District Attorneys, among them Benjamin Grover, Postmaster of Concord, N. HL; W. A. Davidson, Judge of the Supreme Court of New Mexico; also Alex. Dimitry, Minister to Central America; and Mr. Cushing, Minister to the Argentine Con- ntelligence received here this morning from China, ‘Drought by last mail from Europe, states that the Ameri- ean missionaries there find their eperations obstructed by the hostile movements which bave recently occurred there, and by the abominations of the coolie trade, which ave prejudiced their minds against all foreigners. Be- sides this, there are two parties in China, one opposed to Sereigners and in favor of hostilities, and ® peace party. Toe Emperor belongs to the peace party, while the com- maader of the affair at Petho is the leader of the war Callender, cashier of the Hartford Bank, testified te.day before the Senate Brown raid committee that Brown deposited with him, and that he never paid money nm Brown’s check to any one but Brown, except in one case, to Col. Forbes, to whom he gave six hundred dollars = Brown’s check. This is a contradiction of Forbes’ statement in his letter, in which he stated that he never received money from Brown. Callender also testified ‘that when the Missourians invaded Kansas, he and other @onnecticut men advised Brown to go there, and he gave Rim a Sharp’s rifle, and told him to use it.. Callender was informed that the committee did mot care about such ‘testimony. * Mr. Charles Blair, of Collinsville, Conn. , testified that he made Brown’s pikes and that Brown paid him for them himeelf, and he knew no other parties concerned with Brown in the matter, Mr. Blair is a democrat, and made the contract as he would with any other persen, not xmewing for what purpose the weapons would be em- ployed. ‘TUR OOST OF JOHN RROWN’S FORAY. ‘A Dill has been passed by the Virginia Legislature, ap- propriating $150,000 to pay the expenses accruing from the Harper’s Ferry affair. HR VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA MISSION. In the Virginia Legislature a resolution bas been intro- duced for the appointment af a joint committee of eighteen to report on the recommendation of Hon. Mr. Memminger? the Commissioner from South Carolina. THR SENATE PRINTING. ‘The Senate printing is still the cause of considerable @ificulty. Wendell has commenced a law suit against Bowman for violation of contract, and sets damage at ‘thirty thousand dollars. Wendell says he gave Bowman twenty thousand dollars and the Union newspaper upon: ‘agreement that Bowman would let Wendell do all the Senate printing as long as Bowman was printer of that Dody. Wendell says that at the time he made this trade ‘with Bowman he could have sold the Union to Douglas for thirty thousand dollars. Wendell contends now that Bowman, by making his recent contract with Rives to do ‘the printing for him, bas violated his contract with bim, ‘Wendell. ‘THE PRESIDENCY. A Washington newspaper, said to be in the interest of Judge Douglas, censures the course proposed to be adopt- ed by the Alabama delegation to Charleston, namely, to go out of the Convention if one of. the planks in the plat form does not sanction a slave code for the Territories. ‘THE BOSTON COLLBOTORSHI). Tt is understood the Collectorship of Boston has becu @ffered to John Appleton, Assistant Secretary of State, ‘and declined, he having been urged by Gen. Cass to con- tinue at his prevent post. Among the candidates men- tioned for the place are Mr. Griswold, ef Greenfield, Maes., and Gen, Whitney, the Superintendent of the Springfeld Arsenal. Both gentlemen were prominent candidates at the time Mr. Austin was appointed. THE ADMINION OF KANEAS. It is now asserted that the policy of the democracy is to keep Kansas out of the Union, until aXer the Charleston pemination. ‘BUSINESS OF THE SUPREME COURT. ‘There are on the docket of the Supreme Court throe hundred cases, about forty of which are on appeal from ythe California courts, relative to land claims, involving millions of dolJars. ‘THE POST OFMICD FINANCES. ‘There are about three millions of doilars in possession Of the Post Office Department, but which cannot be paid out till an appropriation bill shall be passed by Congress for that purpose. ‘THE PRESDENT'S RECEPTION. ‘The President’s reception was brilliant and numerously attended to-night.

A @reat Dey in the Senate, and a Great Gathering—Some Account of the Spectacle, and of the Speech of Mr. Douglas upon his New Movement against the Abolition Oonsparators Of the North— His Charges upon the Republican Party, dc. ‘The Desutiful morning, and the general advertisement @f the last three days that Mr. Douglas would speak to-day, attracted a large congregation to the galleries of the Se- Bate two hours before the meeting of the body. The audi- fortum, with its bonnets and ribbons, presente all the colors of the rainbow, somewhat confusedly and yet very agreeably intermingled ; and the chattering of the dear creatures who occupy three sides of the great quad- rangle of the gallery is very much like the distant sound of a concert from a swarm of starlings in acornfield. The accommodations around us are adapted for an audience of two thousand. There are, however, only about sixteen hundred persons seated, while, from the blockade of an ‘mpagsable crowd at every door, the remaining four hun- dred seats continue vacant. This should admonish the fficers in charge to be prepared in future for any occasion like this, with a sufficient number of extra ushers to pack the people as they are packed in your Academy of Music when a sensation like Piccolomini’s fills the houso till it overflows like a pot of the Lion lager bier. Mr. Douglas would draw to-day an audience of two thousand at adollar a head; and if there were any au- thority in the federal constitution thus to tax the people for charitable purposes, {t would be a good plan thus to devote a to some benevolent object, such as a deaf and dumb asylum, or #retreat for superaunuated Old soldiers, or politicians, or lobby men. What is it that draws this sign! it gathering of the sovere! Senate today? Nearly ail these people have beard Mr. Douglas before. this anxiety, Up-toe expecta tuon among them to him again on thie everlasting Rigger question? It is the “irrepressible conflict,” it is ‘the insetting tide of the Presidential agitation; it ia a general impression that Mr. Lg ome make the fur fly, not only from the flanks of W. H. Seward ana the black Tepublicans, but that he will probably bring to a reckon- ing some of bis Presidential rivals and opponents of the democratic party. But above all,the universal conavic- tion among the people returning from the churches yes- terday, that everybody would be up to the Senate to hear Mr. Douglas, bas brought up everybody; and, doubtless, when the “Little Giant’ rises and casts an inquiri giance around bim, be wil) fee) that. the people are him, or after him, whatever may be the cage with the cians. ‘The hour of one o’clock is near at hand.

The Senator next proceeded to show that these causes exist in the principles of the republican party, and especially in their doctrine of the ‘‘irrepressible conflict.” The Senator in iljustration of this “conflict” was proceeding to a statement of the character of bis Illinois conflict with the republican party, when there was a general movement among the fifty or sixty members of the House who occupied the open area in the rear of the semi-circle of seats ted to the renators. There was evidently @ call of the House, and these moving members were answering the requisition. Seizing the occasion also, to escape from the surround- ipg pressure which threatens to roe the reporters’ gall ry and all concerned into the floor below, we post out to close up this despatch, leaving Mr. Douglas in full blast, and exercising a voice which rings throughout the north end of the Capitol. Already his admirers say that this speech will clear bis way in the Charleston Con- vention. There can be no doubt, at all events, that it de- molisbes the Jast calculation of apy possibility of his play- ing into the bands of the republican party im opposition to the Charleston nomination.

THR SUPPRESSION OF INVASION—SPKECH OP MR. TOOMES, ‘Mr. Doveras’ resolution was called up. Mr. Toomms, (dem.) of Ga., addressed the Senate. He sccepted the resolution of the Senator from Illinois as a move in the right direction, but he feared the disease was too deep seated for the remedy proposed. Common in- terest and a common danger carried the country through the Revolution. After the formation of the government parties were formed, and great interests divided and deeply moved the country ; it was divided upon the Alien and Sedition laws, the currency question, the tariff, and the wars with Great Britain and Mexico; but the people submitted to the decision of the ballot-box. This wasnow changed. Men no longer regarded the compact by which they were bound, and disregarded the ties together. Now the time bad arri i i them ved when the success Of & party brings us face to face with revolution, It was time to seek the remedy. threata of the Senators from Maine and Iilincis w keep it down by force won’t avail. Until they had come out of the cen- test with victorious banners they had better refrain from Deastings and threats. The foundstion of society was threatened and |.

He charged republican party, more in sorrow than in anger, with hav- ing stricken down the fundamental principles of the gov- ernment. They eought to deprive the Southern people of equal rights in the Territories, and to overturn the decisions of the ‘Supreme Court through individual members of State Legislatures, and by overt acts seek- ing to invade the rights of one section of the confederacy. le ar § the history of the enactment of that elanse, the consti- tutionality of which was in former times approved ‘by J every Northern State except Wiscopsin, He made a lega argument against the adverse decision of the Supreme Court of Wisconrin. He read acts of the Legislatures of Ohio and Connecticut to show that they had passed laws violative to the constitution, Mr. Fostm, (rep.) of Conn. asked what act of Connecti- cut was uncenettuional? Mr. read the act probibiting the bringing of a slave into the State under a penalty of three hundred and Ir. Fosran said the probibition related to cases where slaves were brought there for the purpore of sale. Mr. Toomna replied, bo State had violated tbe constitu- tion more artfully or fraudulently than Connecticut. It imposed a fine of ive thousand dollars and imprisonment om men coming to enslave free negroes. When, then, a man wept these t0 reclaim a fagitive, such ruler of evi- dence would be enforced a8 would secure a conviction. Connecticut violated the constitution without having the to gulph down treason as New York had done. She bad showed that no oaths bound the republicans, and that they will cisregard the copetituton in the same Bf if they get in power here. That was why he had said their ences brought us face to face with revolution. = Bon the law New York, to which he bad re- ferred. Mr. Kre asked when that law was passed. Mr. Toomes eaid, when the question was asked with an honest intent, and not designed as a trick, be would an swer courteously. The law was passed in the New York House but failed in the Senate, two or three republicans declining to commit @ plain violation oj the constitution. Mr. Kivo—That is all I wished stated. The law never was passed. Mr. Toomna continued, charging that the to corry out the Fugitive Slave law was a breach of faith. He did not intend to say that all belonging to the repudli- cap party were guilty of theee crimes; all he desired was that every honest man, whether among the repablicans OF not, that was opposed to this violation of the laws of and man, should say so, and rally with him around the constitution of a common country. He would test them by their public acts, under oath, where they pos- seeped the power, and where they obtained » majority. Ho was not going to the speeches of unauthorized persons, nor the thousands of pulpiis where the Word of God was every Sabbath desecrated. The rendition of fugitives from labor bad been tho common law of the civilized na- tions of the earth from the days of Greece. Tt had Deen the common law of that time to this; and this very question had arisen under the old Greek confederacy. The Icarians had re- fused to return certain escaped slaves to the Atheniang, and Pericles advised his countrymen to go to war—that was sufficient caure; and Greece was devastated for twen- ty-one years. To-day he gave the same advice to his countrymen. He then read from the speech of Daniel Webster, in 1851, who, he said, for his fidelity te the con- stitution and bis country, bad lost the confidence of his fellow citizens, in which he (Mr. Webster) had not besi- tated tosay that if the Northern States wilfully refused to carry out that part of the constitution in reference to fugitive slaves, the South would no longer be bound to obeerve the compact—that a bargain broken on one side ‘Was broken on al! sides. That was the opinion, even in New Engiand, of the Grest Fxyounder of constitutional law. He said the bargain was broken—that those whose bands were red with the blood of a broken compact can- not administer at the sacred altar of the coustitution of bis country. How many, he asked, on the other side, are ready, honestly and in good faith, to ren- der up fugitives from labor? Hedid not believe there were a8 many as God required to ssve Sodom, and that was brought down totwo. They bad not kept the obli- gation. Then, in the name and in bebalf of the people he Teprerented, be demanded the bond, the fulfilment of the contract and the redemption of the plighted faith. He charged—what every honest man, whether an abolitionist or a friend of the constitution, knew—that it was the liv- ing ono oe of the republican party to refuse to carry out that clause of the constitution. ‘The republicans pre- tend that their only desire was to prevent the extension of slavery and to carry back the government to the days of ourfathers. This waa deception; it was utter false- hood when they say oa occupy the position of Jefferson. He was not 0} to the extepsion of slavery, and con- demned the ‘ouri restriction in 1820. Madison took the same view. It was gross imposition to sa} poe were in accordance with those of early fa- ere.

The republican party was built on ‘& dogma embraced in the Missouri act of 1820, which the highest tribunal of the country bad declared was upcon- #titutiopa). Such was the party seeking to administer the constitution. He then argued that members of this party have been permitted to commit acts of hostility against confederate States. He read from Grotius and Vattel to show that apy attempt to disturb the tranquillity of one State by anotber, or to subvert its institutions, is cause for war. pul ten South. Helper book, and one Speakerfof the House of Representatives in 1860. ‘Ten years of public life had not changed his opi. nions. He had agreed ip 1854 to refer the question to judicial tribunal ef his country. Ry that decision hewas Dow and ever would be ready to stand. Many thousands of republicans looked on John Brown asa martyr, and all of them were lost in admirstion that one man could be feund amongst them who was ready to die game. In his judgment all means to prevent the success of the republican party would be proper and meritorious. He ‘would use al) means within the Jaw, and then all force justified by the laws of war. In the frst place, the reme- ‘dy now belonged to the Northern people. Them he in- vited to pupieb these aggressions, to act with the South in the vindication of the constitution of our common country. He appealed not only to the men of the South, but to the friends of the constitution everywhere. He invited the men of the South of all parties to lay down their digsen- sione, and the patriotic men of the North to lay down their differences of opinion about words. He invoked men of all parties t» rally with bim for the alvation of the com- mon constitution of his country. Throw to the wind all miserable abstractions, and rally around you all that is patriotic in defence of the common constitution. There alone were and safety. He knew the democratic party would do every- tbing in their power. He knew that during this conflict, under the most extraordinary circumstanees, they had vindicated the right, and stood unawed and unmoved. No political party ever walked purer or steadier in ita duty J than that nobte band ef patriots. If harmony and union againet a ‘common enemy could be obtained, peace and rafety would be secured; if it could not be obtained, peace and rafety were incompatible in‘ this Union. He would ray that the South had learned one lesson from their fathers. They bad twelve millions of inhabitants, attached and loyal, of a!) creeds, classes and conditions of society. Their fatherr bad three millions in all, and defeated Great Britain. They had four times the } age and a thousand times the weaith, le paid a glowing tribnte to the South and to Virginia, the latter of which had borne the burden of the Revolutionary war. One blast of Virgin'a’s bugle was worth a million of men. The South was ready, willing, and anxious to avenge the wrong. He had one word of advice to offer to the South, and that waa to stand firm! upon the ground they bad chosen, and peacefully, Ka and honestly maintain the constitution. He implored Se en eee be ag A ed instant to perm: Tepudtican to reing of government—to inion from thelr counsels thoee who desired to await overt acts, to defend rhig at the hearthstone and defend them at the doorsill. i chi lone unconstitutional laws.

The law of 1864 was designed to pun one who falsely and maliciously endeavored to enslave free men. He believed that this was acrime in Con rison in any other respect.

Mr. Conwin resumed, reviewing the history of the Ohio democracy of 1848, who in resolutions declared that they looked on the institution of slavery as unfavorable to the full developement of free institutions, and entertaining these sentiments eaid they would be derelict to duty if they did not prevent its increase and miti- gate and finally eradicate it, The democracy of Obio im 1848 held these doctrines, going farther than the whigs; but in that year the democratic party were carried captives to Babylon, Zachary Taylor was elected President, the democrats hung their barps on the willows, and mourned for the slain of the daughters of their peo: ple. While vp to 1853 they maintained that slavery might ‘be restricted, the de suddenly woke up and say, slavery is very g004, and will develope the resources of the country.

ROBERTS, RHODES & 00. New Yorx, Jan. 23, 1860. Terrible Domestic Tr —A Husband Murders His Wife Ais Himeeif, Sr the Maione (N. Y.) Paliadtum.] Heary Meecham, living on the Hopkinton and Fort Kent turnpike, about three miles south of Thomasville, in the town of Dickinson, Franklin county, on Friday even. ing, the 6th inst., murdered bis wife by shooting her with a 1, and afterwards cutting her throat. Having satis- fled himself that ho had despatched his victim, he re- loaded bis pieto! and discharged its contents into his own brain, and fell dead on the floor near bis murdered wife. ‘The particulars of the affair, as gathered in the vicinity, and which were mainly sustained at the Coroner’s in. quest, are as follows:—Seme few weeks past Meecham became jealous of his wife, and it seems had too good rea- son to be so. They quarrelled and separated about three weeks previons to this sad occurrence. Mrs. Meecham returned, with two or three of their five ehildren, to the house of her parents. Meecham brooded over this state ot things, and at divers times threatened to shoot the guilty wife and her paramour. Mrs. Mcecham be- came alarmed at the earnestness of these threats, and some two or three weeks since made complaint to a jns- tice, and Meecham was required to give bonds to keep the peace toward his wife. On the day of the murder Meecham heard that his wife had committed a second act of infidelity with yet another person, which 20 exasperated him that he proceeded at once to take bia threatened revengo. ‘The houre of Thomas Cook, the mother of Mre. Mee- cham, avd where she was at the time, is some twenty or thirty rods off the turnpike, in @ lovely hollow, and is pearly balf a mile distant from any other habitation. Oo the evening of the murder Mrs. Cook, Mra. Meecham and two little children, one aged three anda half years and the other ten months, were at home. Mr. Cook and a son, a lad eleven or twelve years of age, were at a neighbor’s by the name of Dustin, who keeps a tavern in the vicinity. Between the hours of seven and eight Mee. cham entered the house of Cook. Mrs. Cook said to him, “Good evening, Henry.” He made no reply, but imme- diately asked, ‘‘Where is Molissaf’’ Mrs. Cook told him she was on the bed getting the chil- dren tosleep. Mrs. Cook he was pale and hata desperate appearance, and remembering his threats, she became excee ly alarmed, and bas but an indistinct recollection of what transpired, except that she saw him move towards the bed—that she heard the discharge of firearms—that she saw bim drag her towards the door, and heard the little boy say, (Grandma, Henry bas killed Melissa; be has cut her neck just as he docs a deer.” Meecham went to a table at the end of the room and com. menced reloading his pistol.

Tooor Duanty Berovep BRETHREN OF THR CurnGy, aw > Farmmrvy CMLDREN OF THE Larry, Hearr anp BENEpio- TION THROUGH OUR LoxD Jesvs CaRier:— At the close of our Counc! we are impelled, dearly be. loved brethren, as well by sincere affection ag by duty, t address to you some words of extiortation and encourage ment. Your fidelity to your bishops and your pastors ja co-operating with every purpose of good, not merely for the present, but for the future of our holy religion iu this country, is worthy of all praise. ‘We exhort you, dearty beloved brethren, to persevere in this, and to leaye an example for those who are to sus- ceed us. ‘The education of Catholic youth in & Catholie manner, to which we have so often called your attention, should be stil! the object of your anxious care, Wisrover it ia pos- sible, whetber in city or town, or rura! district, let tho Catholic priest and Catholic parents organize Catholic” schools for the training of youth. We would also exucrt the reverend clergy to superintend, from time to time, by personal inspection, the progress and working of these schools, and not leave them altogether to the direction of the teacher, however worthy of confidence he may be. The providing ef priests for the perpetuation of the holy ministry in this country, is a subject which also has engeged our attention and awakened our solicitude. In earlier days true men of God from France, Ireland, Ger- many, and other countries of Europe, priests of the mar- tyr-epirit, came most willing to spend, and to be spent for the salvation of souls. Their toils and their sacrifices, under our own firet bishop and Archbishop Carroll, laid on the goll of this great republic the fountations of the church. Their name and their memery demand, in jus- tice, our reverence and our love. More recently, and even up to the present time, our ecclesiastical students, the recruits of the sanctuary, have come, in @ great measure, from the same sources, but we cannot look to tbe zeal of other countries for the perpetu- ation of our clergy. ‘The time seems to have arrived when wo must depend on ourselves for the supply of the priesthood by which this great work is to be continued. We therefore exhort Christian nts to cherish in their children signs of vocation to the priesthood, and we exbort you, beloved brethren of the clergy, to encourage this spirit in the families of your respective congregations. It is the greatest honor that God can confer on Christian parents, that a child of theirs should grow up to be a holy priest to minister at his altar. An additional motive for fostering this truly Catholic movement at tbe present moment, is the opening of tbe American College in Rome, expressly designated for this purpose. The buildings, including = beautiful chapel, are the magnificent donation of our most holy father, Pope Pius 1X., to his children in the United States. It bas been already opened, and apart from ite ecclesiastical purpozes, its national character tends to place us and our fellow citizens on an equality with other patious who have simi'ar institutions in the Eternal City. In that college the American, whether he be # Catholic or not, will have a kind of right, or at least recognition, so that he shall not feel himself a stranger in the city of all nations, Already some efforte have been made among ourselves to commence and sustain the great work "Sat nothin; has been done on our part corresponding with the agtt ficent charity of our Holy Father, who from his private resources has bestowed both — soda cburch upon big children in this country. Wo earnestly recommend to the zeal and generosity of the faithful this most impor- tant institution. Tearty betoved brethren—We have in our Councils added ecarcely anything to the legisiation that has bero- tofore been enacted in the Councils of Baltimore or in our own, We exhort you, brethren of the clergy, to be familiar with the statutes of these councils. Mauy young priests have been introduced into the sacred ministry since they were enacted. We beseech them, and all others, to make themselves thoroughly acquainted with these regulations of discipline proposed by the bishops and confirmed by the Boly See. ¢ healthfulnesa of ecclesiastical aisci Pline does not depend ¢o much on the multiplication of enactments a8 on the conscientious observance, as far ag poseible, of what has been already enacted. We, our- selver, on & calm review of all that has been enacted by our [pore ageiab capnot discover anything which we should wieh to be changed. Be faithful, therefore, be- loved brethren of the clergy, in adhering to these rules. ‘What bas just been said will explain the fact that in our present Council we have scarcely added a single rule, or recommended a single new statute. The principal busi- nese that bas been transacted in our present meeting has had reference to the question of erecting a new Episcopal ee within the limits of the present diocess of Albany, and of providing, #0 far as depends upon us, for the appoint. ment of its first bishop, Whatever bas been deemed important to be communi- cated to you tn addition to what has been said already, will be found at the close of this letter. In the meantime, a question has been brought to our notice which interests not only our own dlocesses or pro- vince, but the whole Catholic Church. Between’ you, dearly beloved brethren, and the pre- lates whom God has been pleased to place over you, there ought not to be, nor is there, any concealment. ‘The present position of the Sovereign Pontiff is such ag to awaken our apxions eolicitude.

To admit it as such would, in our judgment, be a libel on his Catholic feelings and on his great intellect. In this document itis stated ‘that the temporal authority exercised by the Sove- reign Pontiff! ig essential to the welfare of the Catholic Church.” This is true; apdthe Pope bas this temporal authority. The question then to be asked of the author of the pamphlet is simply this:—If such authority is ossen- tial to the Catholic Chureb, as you admit,'why do you pro- pore to take it away? For the pampbict adds, ‘that whilst the temporal power of the is Decessary and bee it is incompatible with a State of any extent.’? he tempora! power of the Pope is essential— frat pri le tion. But that same power must be limited to a without apy extept—second proposition. The Emperor of ne French is not the man to fail into such a contradic- jon. The document gocs on to say, ‘That France has not rup the risk of a great war—gained four victories—lost 60,000 men—epent 300,000,000 francs, with a view that Austria might on the morrow of peace resume in the —e ie domination she exercised on the eve of her jefen ‘Who would imagine that the conclusion to be drawn from this statement is, that the Pope’s ity # to de reduced to a temporal state without any extent? ‘The remaining portion of thie document is not less ‘vague, but is lees self contradictory than what we have just cited.
