In this illogical ramble over the philosophy of history, the Archbishop makes some ackaow- leégments which are both unseemly and unne- ceesary. There was no need of telling us that “the Pope, in the main, was on tho side of vir- tue; for if this means anything it means tliat his infallibility was sometimes on the tide of vice—sn acknowledgment unseemly from the lips of an Archbishop standing on tho steps of the altar. Very few persons in the present day, too, are disposed to assert that the retreat from Moscow, and Napoleon's subsequent train of disaster, ti) it culminated in the prison of St. Helena, were the consequence of his excommu- nication by Pius the Seventh. There is feod for reflection by every Catholic mind {2 tho statement of the Archbishop, “on the faith of « prelate right from Rome, that this enecor cannot come too soon for the Pope, as, if things go on as they now are for any prolonged period, he will not have the means to supply the wants of his own household.” He tells us in the opening of his divcourse that we refor- mation never attacked the political sovereignty of the Pope, and every reader knows that the Giswess of the Papacy to-day comes not from Protestants, but from the most Catholic children of the church. Catholic Austria, with her hated tyranny, bas Leen driven from Italy by Catholic France, sustaining the aspistioas of Catholic dialy, and even Most Catholic Spain now for- molly cenies all sympathy to Bomba of Naples, and bis virds of a feather in the Romaa hie- parchy, One word more, and we have done with tho Archbishop's discourse. There is a strong touch of the hierarchy, of the apirit of Cardinal Aniopelli, in the manner in which he calls upon the faithful to come to the pecuniary succor of the Pope. He invites “the Catholics of this diocess, clergy and laity, including women aod childrea,” to subscribe an address of -¢ym- pathy to be sentto the Holy Father, and he hopes that all will have sufficient Mal reverence for the head of the church, Catholic zeal and Cbristian feeling, to sign this ad treas; but no name will be received without a tangible proof of sympathy in the shape of money. But for what purpose does he want this money? Is it to auecor the Pope, oppressed by bad men and usurping monarchs? or is it to purchase bayo- nots and sabres with which to murder the Ca- tholic sons cf Italy, who have risen against a worldly, ruthless and impious hieratohy, which now appeals to the highest and hollest feelings of our nature to afd them fn sustaining thoir misused, selfish and corrupt temporal power? 'n a holy cause the Pope would only need to ralve bis voice within the walls of St. Peter's at Rome, aud millions would flow into his reaeury; but when it is, os itis sew, to oppress and de- grade onr Catholic brethren in Italy, that an appeal is thus mado to distant and deceived churches, we hope the hat will return to the Archbishop as empty as whea he sent it forth among the felthfal. Dantes, S, Dickiysey axD vHe ALBANY Re- oescy.—When Daniel 8. Dickinson, last Sep- tember, at Syracuse, was coaxed into the em- braces of the Albany Regency, he doubtless suppored they were men whose promises were worth something. But their treacherous do- ings at Charleston coavinced him of his mistake. They had entrapped him only to take a tool and a fool of him. This discovery will account for the following letier of Mr. Dickinson, written three days fn advance of the meeting of the disjointed democracy at Bal- Umore: — Bivowserow, June 15, 1840, T greatly fear an unwiee, and, if aaceeasfh!, a fatal efit to reewt the return of the’ withdrawing delegations.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 2, vence at Baden—llow the Peace of Europe is Secured. ‘The news yesterday by the Adriatic is of a Lighly interesting character. Another inter- view of Furopean sovereigns has taken place, this time at Baden, the parties being Louis Na- poleon and the Prince Regent of Prussia, and again the world is aseured that “the peace of Furope is secured. Nothing demonstrates move clearly how com- pletely Louis Napoleon is the arbiter of the destiny of Europe than these successive and anxious interviews of crowned heads with him, The Queen of England, the Emperor of Russia, the King of Sardinia, the King of Belgium, the Emperor of Anstria, and now the virtual monerch of Prussia, have followed each other; and upon each interview important evenis have followed, zl] conducive to the great end which the second founder of the French empire bas in view. Coming to the inperial throne an adven- turer, as he really was, he found the treaties of Vienna standing between the name of Bona- parte and Mo sanction of admitted legitimacy, and the whole continent parcelled out by com- pact between the reigning houses, with “a common bond stipulating the exclusion of his family forever from the throne of france. Too wise to demand the sudden sbrogation of this contract by the united dynasties, he has, with pen and eword, obliterated, line by line, and word by word, the stipulations of (he eom- pact of Vienna from the map of Europe. With Spain he arranges the boundary of the Pyre- nees, and plants the germ of a new order of things by her conqnesis in Africa, Tialy is” converted from a mero “geographical expres- sion” into a living Power, Switzerland, by the changes in Savoy, is brought into political re- lations with Vrance which render the stipula- tions of Vienna obsolete for that repubtic. With both Eogland and Russia be creates a state of circumstances which render the main- tenance of the Vieuna compact impossible. Germany «till exists under it; bat the Ger- man princes see clearly that their turn is coming, and hence their anxiety for an inter- view with the arbiter of events, and their haste to assure the world that “the peace of Europe is secured.” This, no doubt, means that the fullness of time has not yet come for Germany, and we can readily believe it. The roots of the Halian cancer are still being drawn, and Louis Napoleon is too skilful a physician to subject the old and worn cut body politic of Europe to the danger of a double cure at the sume moment of time. The chronic feudalism of Germany requires another treatment than the sharp surgery with which Garibaldi is fol- Jowing up the roots of Europe's cancer on the bosom of Italy, and the patient will require a little time to recover from the exhaustion of the operation before the effects of a new cure can be safely borne. It will be noted that the pro- testations of peace were passing at Baden at the very moment when the Sardinian Minisier at Naples was demanding the liberation of eight hundred Garibaldians, who had been captured and carried into Gaeta. Then, too, Turkey is nearly ready for an explosion, which may occur at gpy woment, and startle Kurope with @ mighty struggle between the wanting Crescent and the rising Cross. Venice, too, is held in trembling tenure by the black cagle of Austria, only through the presence of bundred thousand bayonets, and Hungary sleeps on the abyss of revolution. ‘Thus the peace of Europe is secured by the conference at Baden, because wisdom sees that the reign of the forty thieves who divide and plunder tho Teutonic nation, under the guaran- tees of the compact of Vienna, has not yet com- pleted ils allotted time, But it is evident that events are marching towards a united or a con- federated Laly, and that when this mighty crea- tion of the Napoleonic policy shall be thrown into tho scale of the new order of things, then will tho true peace of Europe require to be se- cured by a recogrition of the principle of “sa- tisfied nationalities” which Louis Napoleon pro- claimed wh» he led Fiance to war for an idea between the Alps and the Adriatic. Germany, as constituted at Vienna, has obtained a respite at Baden, but the lines drawn in 1816 across the map of Central Europe must be erased, as those bave beén which were run around the south and east of France and over the face of Italy. The Nepoleonic balance of power is rapidly substituting that of Vienna, and until it does the peace of Europe is not by any means secure. Tre Gerat Eastern on Exniition—hou ‘Tantrr ror Visrrers.—It is announced by the managers of the Great astern that she will be open for public exhibition to-morrow, when it Is expected thatshe will be in holiday trim for the reception of visiters. The rate of admission fixed by the directors, it appears, is one dollar for each adult and half a dollar for every child under twelve years of age. If the direc- tors intend that the visiters to the monster ship shali be select and the namber limited, they have bit upon the right tariff; but if they expect the masses “of the public to see her at such rates as these they will probably flad that they have made a mistake. We presume one object in throwing the vessel open for inepec- tion is to make money, and wo question very much whether that object can be so well se- cured by charging ® dotlar as by fixing the en- trance fee at one-half or one-fourth of that rate. The classes of people fa this country who cae afford to pay four or five dollars to take their families to s place of amusement are not thore who support exhibitions of any kind. On the contrary, these persons are gencrally more parsimonious than the poor mechanic, who cannot afford to pay more than his quarter of a dollar for an entertainment. The present charge for secing the Great Eastern will ofctually exclude a large portion of this latier class, and their wives and clildren, aud will reduce the number of visiters very considerably. Perhaps the directors contemplate having what in England is called a “shilling day” set apart for the working classes, as was dono in the Crystal Palace at London, and on various other occasions, with invariable success. Let them try that plan here with the Groat Eastern just once, and perhaps they will dircower that a quarter of a dollar, oro half a dollar at most, is about the price the people waat to pay for their visit to her. We are afraid our Eng- lich frlends on hoard the Great Eastern do not correctly appreciate our community. It will not do to canb people when they go on board, and talk to them about the “gentry,” and so forth. We say this kindly. We do not nndor- etand that term in this country. We would sug- gest a reconsideration of the Great Vasteen tariff question. a terrence esses s/n eres tts usernames tes NNR <as eSSS en 1860. Thy Southera Opposttion—Its Strength in the Coming Campaign. As long as the democracy were a wait their strength in the Southern States was almost impregnable, But now that the party is split into two factions the case is different, and & few facts aud figures will demon- strate bow formidable in the South the Union or opposition ticket of Beli and Everett is like- ly to prove in the coming Presidential cam- paign, To the democracy the only States that can be conceded certain are three, Mississippi, South Carolina and Arkansas. Not one of the other twelve States enn be retied apon, The Journal of Commerce claims ten Southern statesas sure for Breckinridge, namely, Vir- ginia, North Uaroliaa, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Ar- kansas and Texas, with only a slight doubt abont Tennessee as Lelong Bell's home. We should Uke to know on what data our Wall street contemporary bases his caleutions. Ln Virginia, in the last election for Governor, the numbers stood for the democrat, 73,124; for the opposition, 71,543. Divide the democracy between Breckinridge and Douglas, no matter how unequally, and there is an casy victory for Beil. In Kentucky, at the last election for Governor, the numbers were for the democracy 76,627; for the opposition, 67,445. Divide the democ- racy, and what becomes of the hopes of either of its candidates in that State? In North Carolina the figures stood in the last election for Governor, democrat, 56,222; oppo- sition candidate, 29,965. Here there is a re- spectable majority of 16,257; but divide the de mocratic strength between Douglas and Breck- inridge, and is it not plain that Bell will be victor? In Tonnessee the democratic majority is much smaller, At the last election for Governor the democrats polled 76,073; the oppositign eandi- date, 68,012, This gives a majority of over 8,000, which would vanish into thin air when two democratic candidates come into the arena. At the last election in Delaware the numbers stood 7,868 against 7,452. Who docs not see that, with two democratic candidates in the field, the opposition ticket must-be elected by a large plurality? In Maryland the opposition had a majority‘at the last election, and the votes counted as fol- lows: —Opposition, 47,141; democratic, 38,682. 1s the majority against the democracy here likely to be reduced when Breckinridge and Dougias divide the democratic forces between them? In Texas, too, the opposition defeated the democracy at the last election, Sam Houston’s majority being 8,670. What prospect is there now of electing « democrat in that State ? In Georgia the vote for the democratic Gov- ernor was 63,806; for the opposition, 42,195. But divide 63,000 into nearly equal parts, and each will fall far short of 42,000. In Louisiana the vote was 24,454 for the demo- crate, and 15,587 for the opposition. But the half of 24,000 is less than 15,000; and, taking into consideration the vigor with which Soule and his friends will. prosecute the campaign, it is moro than probable Douglas will get from ten to twelve thousand votes. In Alabama there was no opposition, properly 50 called; but the regular democrat was elected by 20,000 maycFity over the fire-eqter, Let three candidates appear in the field, and who can name the winning man‘ In Florida the numbers stood al last election for Governor, democrat 5,019, opposition 3,225. Divide the democratic strength in nearly equal portions and the opposition obtains the plu- rality. At the last election for Governor in Missouri, the democratic candidate polled 47,985, the op- position 47,641—democratic majority only 344. Let the democracy be divided between two tickets in this State, and the electoral ticket of Bell is sure to triumph. It is trne the opposi- tion consists partly of republicans; but out of St. Louis they have no strength, and the great body of the opposition will certainly go fur the Union ticket. Thus it ts hard to say in which of these twelve States the democracy can be successful; and, what is the most disheartening feature in the dark prospect is, that ‘he democratic candidate who is likely to poll most votes at the North will poll least at the South; in fact, will not carry ono electoral vote beyond Mason and Dixon's line. There is, therefore, a political revolution at hand, which will scatter the democracy like chaff before the wind. Had there been two de- mocratic candidates in the fieid in the Presiden- tial struggle of 1856, a similar result wonld have happened. Thanks to the Albany Regen- ey and their retainers, the same men who defeated the democracy in 1848, by running a second democratic ticket, the democratic party bas been precipitated to its doom, and the op- position party of the South will take its place, on the 4th of March next, cither at the White House, or as the opposition to triumphant black republicanism, which, if Lincoln is elected, will be duly installed at the Capitol of Washington, without a finger being raised against it, whatever the fire-caters may now say te the contrary. Tar American Exopvs.—The outpouring of tourists and specie to Europe goes on briskly from this port. As the summer advances al- Most every week secs a larger namber of pas- sengers going off in the transatlantic steamers. The three vessels which sailed for Europe on Saturday took no less than 684 passengers, and nearly two millions of specie. The people who make these trips-are, for the most part, persons who hare money to spend on summer enjoy- ments, and who a few years ago, before Baro. pean tours became so popular, and transatian- tic voyages so quick and pleasant, spent their eurmmer breathing time and their money at our fashionable watering places, This year, between the sensations which will attract so many strangers to the metropolis, and this large exodus to Europo, we are afraid the watering places will be somewhat slimly attended Two Srusos To Hix Row.—The Chevalier Forney has two strings to his bow. As Clerk of the House of Representatives, he is identified as Aspocial pet of the repndlican party. As the proprictor of the Philadelphia Press, he isa supporter of Mr. Douglas as the true represen- tative of the old democratfs purty. Thus Por- noy plies his batteries spaiost the aduntn’aten- tioa on both sides: but uhas be may fall some day, very eudden'y, to the ground, He caunot very well travel beyond the November general election, with Covode on one arm and Douy'as on the other. Tre Degraded Condition of Ver Polittes) Managers. “Our State elections are more important than the Union,” was the ery of the AYbany Regency at Baltimore, and hence the breaking up of the old detnocratie organization at this dangerous crisis in our national affairs. This unworthy sentiment is a perfect expo- nent of the petty spirit that animates the men who pack our political conventions. Tho same set of rapacious office holders, or greedy office bunters, may be found in the conventions of all parties, whether they be county, Siate or na- tional; and every step in policy, and every vote for (he nomination of candidates for office, is dictated solely with an eye to the effect upon the vote for ward constable or county clerk. It fs no matter whether the question be one of nomination for Congress, or the Governorship of # State, or the Presidency of the Union, the same vile principle rules, All parties are infected with it. It prevailed at Charleston, at Chicago, and at Baltimore, alike. It was the reason for the overthrow of Seward and the breaking up of the democratic party. It lasists upon clastic platforms constructed with ambiguous phrases, and plastic nominations that cam be moulded to the loca) wants of every section. The universal prevalence of this base and sordid motive is more dangerous to the country and to our institutions than any sect of general principles can be, for it saps the national life at its foundations, and causes it to rot at heart. It throws the conduct of our national affairs into the hands of men whose views are bounded by their ward or county limits, and it deprives our State Legislatures of everything like skill in the art of government, and our national halls of all true statesmanship. By it the standard of our public morality has been degraded below that of thieves, for the common voice recoznises some honor among these, and we defy sy one to find the sane sentiment ruling any of the acts of the Common Council of New York, the last State Legislature at Albany, or the recent sessions of Congress at Washington. The halls ofthese and every other legislative body, as well as the public offices everywhere, are filled with spoils hunters and lobbymen. The Albany Regency is a fair expoveat of the class of poli- tical traders into whose hands all public affairs have been resigned. We can trace the cause? of this great public evil in a rule of action which has been adopted by the holders of the appointing power in every position of the national or Siate governments, These assume that none but what are techni- cally called, among the professional politicians, “representative men,” shall be appointed to any public post. The question of ability, in- tegrity or character is never inquired into. Does he control his ward or his county in popu- lar elections? is the sole object of solicitude. As a natural consequence, our local offices are filled with men of the most dubious social position, and our representatives’ positions abroad are crowded with appointees who know nothing whatever of their dutics, and whose only merit is that they can shine in a primary meeting or control a ward convention, where muscle is the only recogulzed power. The sentiment of the Albany Regency, which we have quoted in the opening of this article, and the vile courses they have pursued under iis impulse, are already pérforming the great good of opening the eyes of the people, and of the men who de sire national action in national affairs, to the danger of our present system of political eon" yentions, and of the necessiiy of entrusting national questions to ward bullies ond county politicians. Tar Cauirorsia Maua—Waar ran Mra. casts Snovitp Do.—-It will be seen by onr special despatch from Washington thet Com- modore Vanderbilt absolutely refuses to carry any mails to San Francisco, and we are in- formed that he also positively forbids any mail matter being sent for the Isthmus, and for the Spsnish-American republics, whose only means of communication with the merchants of New York is through the Panama line of steamships. Two propositions for the conveyance of the California mail are before the Postmaster Gone- ral, who haa ample power to secept one of them, and the steamship influence ix endeavoring to prevent his doing so. One of these proposes te carry the mail by way of Salt Loko Ully, and the otber by the San Antonia and Li Pos route, and each offers to convey all mais inatier, including newspapers and documeuts. through in twenty-five days. The course of the steamship interests in this matter is worthy of the severest reprobation. A permanent injury is attempted to be inflicted on the commerce of New York by @ selfish monopoly, that has raised the prices of trans- portation between the Atlantic and Pacific States to starvation point; and now, because the Post Office Department refuses to be fleeced to an enormous extent by them, they have the im- pudence to eay that no merchant shall remit his correspondence by their ehipe, and the press shall be closed to all access with its readers, The merchants of New York owe it to them- selves, to the honor of this metropolitan city, to their own interests and those of the country st large, which they so legitimately represent, to put the seal of their condemnation upon this highhbanded outrage by a selfish and dictaio- tial monopoly. A pubiic mevilag should at once be called, and resolutions passed express- ive of their indignation, and calling upoa tho Postmaster General to exert every power wilh which he is invested to give the country ut once a tri-weekly mail to Son Francisco, Ta the preeent disturbed state of the Indian couptry through which the Utah route rum, I may be prudent lo give the preference to the Sap Antonio and Fl Paso route for the present. A farther advantage might, perhaps, be obtain- ed op that route by taking the mails to San Diego, and conveying the heavy portion by sca from there to San Franclseo, while the locked mails could goon by land, if time is thereby saved. The Iresident should have this over- land mail route at once esteblished, and thas forever put at rest this dictatorial claim of the Panama monopoly, which secks to be more powerful than the government and the highest interests of the people. The merchants of New York owe also to themselves another duty. They shonld see that morsares are at once inltiated to establish a permanent opposition ronte to California by way of the Isthmus." A nuniber of feasible routes can be opened easity if men of credit and standing will place themsefves at the head of the enterprise.

We commend to the Chamber of Com- merce to take ipqniry into this matter at once, and give their comstenanee to parties who may undertake it, And let the merchants of New York speak out in regard to the present out- rage. Should any of them be injured by the refusal of Commodore Vanderbilt to carry their letters and packages, aa action wil) lie against him for damages, Mx. Doverss Arromten to Oren THR Came Paron ry Oxy Tammany Tins Eveswo,—Mr. Dougles is to speak in the Old Wigwam to- night. Their case being somewhat desperate, the sachems have ecnt for bim, and it is expect- ed thet be will answer in person, like Metamo- ra, or the last of the Wampanoage: “You have sent for me, und Ihave come.” The big chiefs on the occasion aro to fire up on new whiskey uad danco the war dance; the old War Horse, Elijah YP: Purdy, like the prophet Elijah of old, ine chariot of firc, will be seen ascending to the skies, and probably, too. the apparition of the absent Tuscarora pipelighter will slip in on the eccasion with the head of George Sanders, a la John the Baptist, in 6 charger. The “Little Giant,” however, will be the great lion of the festival, and doubUess the Old Wigwam will be for a time in an ae fal blaze of glory and patriotism, without anything of the nsnal smell of the fat things in the kitchen. We would still admonish the uninitiated who may choose to attend that it would be judicious te weer their oldest clothes on the occasion, for fear of accidents. After what has occurred at Baltimore, nobody knows what may turn up in Tammeny Hall, in the matter of a council of war. Vicror Heo on Gaxmator—Victor Hugo, the impracticable—whom Lovis Napoleon once sarcastically called le grand—has been expa- tiating upon Garibaldi and the Sicilian revolu- tion in his exile in Jersey. We publish his orw- tion to-day. It is remarkable, not only for its eloquence, but for the recognition of the means by which the success of the Italian leader was brought about. Victor Hugo and Mazzini, aad the men of the extreme school of revolutionary politics, are compelled to bow to the superior judgment and more practical schomes of Gari- baldi. They would gstablish freedom, but i¢ must be done in their own ‘ray. Fanaticism and religious propagandiam are the weapons of Mazzini; winged eloquence and appeals to passion those of Hugo. Garibaldi takes up the sword, accepts volunteers from every quar- ter that cap furnish stout amas and true hearts. Mazzini plots, and Hugo denunciates. They will bave a republic, social and universal, and nothing else which men call liberty. Bat Gari- baldi is content with a free Italy, though it be under a liberal and intelligent monarchy. “Tur Coxtest, axp No Comprourse.”—One of our Sunday papers, remarkable only foritsenthu- siasm in behalf of Mr. Douglas, under the above heading, puts forward aa earnest and indignant protest against any fusion “joint clectoral tick- et,” or “mongrel ticket,” “representing Dougias in contaminating alliance with Breckinridge and Bell, or either.” This is the order of the day, and it doubtless foreshadows the decree which will be issued from Old Tammany to-night.
