North American Recruite=The Papal Enlist- ments in the United States—Nationalitics Represented in the Ranke—A Royal Bridal Party—Sunday Work—Dutics of Pio Neno, Roms, May 23, 1868, ‘Your readers are aware that a certain number of ‘volunteers from the United States and Oanaaa are already in the Pope’s service, wearing the Papal Zouave uniform. But as enthusiasm for the cause of Yhe Church seems likely to induce great numbers ‘more of young men to engage in the same crusade, ‘the government of his Holiness has deemed it ad- -wigable to inform these volunteers upon what terms they will be received before they leave the New World for the Old. ‘On the ist inst. Cardinal Barnabo forwarded to the Catholic bishops in the United States a Latin cir- cular informing those preiates that the Holy Father * had deigned to accept the offer they had made him of sending soldiers to recruit his army, but only on ‘condition that these soldiers shail be sent out to Rome, maintained here for three years and then sent ‘back to America, entirely at the expense of the said ‘bishops, or rather of the faithful who will contrib- ‘ate pecuniary offerings for the defence of the Holy See. ‘fhe circular is very short. In it the Pope, through Cardinal Barnabo, recommends the bishops to choose persons “fitted by their morais and piety to become defenders of the Apostolic See.” To this Latin circular is joined a prospectus in italian from the Ministry of Arms (or War Office, as it would be termed in every other country), stating that the bat- viction and a glorious system. is cle: by the Minister by the Emperor, and t) latter was concerned.

CONSISTENCY IN JOURNALISM. (From the Round Table, June &? The New York Herat printed the other day an Unusually thoughtful and well expressed ai oD newspaper consistency, some of the points of which, {f not especially original, are worth more attention than they appear commonly to receive. Itis palpably true, if not generally acknowledged, that many “party editors mean by consistency a persistence ip one course, whether right or wrong, and adhering to certain political dogmas, whether applicable or not to the circumstances ofthe times.” The usefulness of political writers, considered as public instructors, is undoubtedly much diminished by that Jncapect for judicial speculation which is 60 apt to attend to ed upon the pledged adherents of @ rticular party. Very seldom indeed appen that all the measures of one pi are the best and all those of another the worst possible for the public good. Yet such i# the usual external pressure that writers who are avowed advocates of either party are constrained to insist on no less, so that the public know beforehand that propoes) whatever, let its intrinsic merits be net hey may, if bi t forward by one party will be sweepingly and unhesitaiingly condemnea by the | organs of the other. The public is thus accustomed to regard such a systenf as a matter of course, and its morality passes unquestioned, for the most part, by universal consent. 1t follows, then, when a pub- licist ha pene to possess the courage or the patriot- ism to defend or adopt a measure repugnant to his party he is sure to be denounced as 4 renegade or Timmer, and his “inconsistency” is taken for .ranted Without the least examination into the moral or in- tellectual merits of the charge. The Hera1.», im the articie we have mentioned, proceeds to vindicate its position as follows:— If we saw a party pursuing a course calculated to involve the country In civii_ war. we sbould oppose. it. with all our might; but if war shouid come in spite of our erforts and the integrity of the country were threatened we shouls go. with the very party we had opposed to save the life of the nation, And this, in fact, as is well known, has been our course, The radical press was consistent in Toreing civil war and then carrying it out, and the copperhead press was consistent in opposing the interests of the republic after war com- menced, Which was most consistent us regurds ihe welfare Of the country, they or we, under the circumstances! Every right thinking person will say the HERALD was consistent ip she proper sense of the word and the party press inconsistent, There is a logical force in this which peopie wno do not like the HERALD will be reluctant yoecknow ledge, but which those who can see any propriety in striving to be fair minded men as weil as consisten! politi, cians will scarceiy deny. There were thousands of Northerners who, at the outbreak of the war, were ut- erly opposed to the political atittude of their yovern- ment, but who yet strained every nerve in ‘ne fleld and elsewhere to prevent that goverument’s destruction. There are thousands who heartily advo- cated universal emancipation, but who now are 80 inconsistent as to disbelieve in the policy of universal negro suifrage. Such persons, whether they speak in private or Wirough the press, are either taunted ag acksliders, renezades and apostates to freedom or are more gen! ‘reated as being “inconsistent.” Society encours,--s this species of maiversation for reasons which ure very easy to understand. !olitical power is enjoyed in this country by a great many un- educated or partly educated people, who are readily impressed and rsuaded—as such people always have been from time iimmemorial—by plausible cries of a levelling, subversive or revolutionary cuaracter. ‘The rights of man, universal brotherhood, the over- throw of tyranny are specious catchwords, which, often utterly unmeaning or totally inapplicable as re- gards the present business in hand, are always safely depended upon by those who nuke a proilt out of popular ignorance. The multitude, in obedi- ence to jaws a8 old as the hills and seas, will always, up to the turning point of relief from anarchy through accepted despotiam, prefer a bad govern- ment, tn which all have a voice, to good government directed by the wiser lew. Not the ostensibie end of the best possible management of public affairs, but the management, good or bad, in which ali havea share, is the ideal of the masses who habitually, incorrigably, and Yor Morts' confuse means and ends, That this should readily be taken advantage of by demagoges in a democratic country is per- fectly natural; aud in fact we constanly see men whose insanity it is to make themselves a! all costs conspicuous, going;from extreme to extreme, shout- ing wildly to the peopie to follow, and spurring the peopie to revile and to punish il who dissent from their teact Sensible Ameri- cans are much ashamed of Mr. George Francis and wonder that a journal of the pretensions of the World should be so foolish as to print his pre- posterous ravings; but yet Mr. Train is only the legitimate outgrowth, tle ultimate fruit, of social and political conditions whose graduated products may be pointed out in other men, “leaders among the peopie,”? who are scarcely leas ridiculous than himself ‘The lesson unconsciously taught by all these demagogues or pseudo-demagogues is clear. They teach that it is oniy needful to be consistent in trusting to the uttermost degree the gullibilty and blindness of the crowd, not only to es:ablish @ sition, but also the privilege authori- conspicuous tatively to denounce all others as inconsistent and deserving of tie party taboo who refuse to go to the furthest extremes of extravagance and folly, ‘The seven repubiican Senators who voted to acquit the President are, of course, in the eyes of such in- structors, very fine models of inconsistency. We are told that some negroes in Washington collected in a church lately and prayed that condign punish- ment from above might be meted out to tose reere- ant legislators “who, after takin’ @ solemn oav, voied to acquit de prisouer.””) Aud this ts just (ie sort of spirit and the sort of knowledge on which ie dema- wogic spirit depends in order to carry out its pur- poses! The cry for untversal education and ditused intelligence, #0 often raised by journals advocating extreme opinions, is suicidal if not disingenuous; for if the standards of education and inetigence were really advanced amvung us the whole traae and raison detre of such journals Would be dune away with; not because their work a3 popular edacdtors would have been accomplished, bat beca .se their in- fluence and strength posiively depends upor tue valence of that ignorance which they atic od cate. To understand this we have only ¢ selves, as illustrations, how long @ paper ike the Church Union would live in our own Cambriigt iow long a paper like the Triune woud live u English Oxford. Only by becoming rea!'y “incon- sistent” would these sheets be able to reiain their Vitulity; they certaimy could not continue vo exist by continuing to be what they are, for they live by the weakness that is without rather than by the strength that is within, and would perish u life de- pended upon the secretion of individuality, heroism and independence of thought, without eaterior aid or countenance, Journalists, on the other sand, of & different type—men of catholic spirit an’ eclectic liberality, men who have too much sel/-respect to depend for their status upon the . passions and | age of the ignorant, will frequently dare, ike Wellington or Peel or Disraeli, or these same seven Senators, to think and act for themselves. in directions traversing or directly opposite to their former paths, tling risking the reproach of inconsist- ency, or even the imputauion of dishonesty, for the sake of a well established internal convicuon—a con- viction that Is not established bi Stan a drawn from other men’s prejudices, but their own moral nature. On the whole it is perhaps true that what is commonly termed consistency is rally overrated, and this especially by the ignorant. Ob- stinacy and party “eal get credit often for virtues when they better deserve to be stigmatized as vices. ‘The truly progressive soul is inconsistent always ip the sense of kuowing more, and so being wiser to-d than yesterday. It wonid be well for us all if such souls Were more numerous and if a greater number of our journals were directed by them, for surely an independent and progressive, rather than a mere party and “consistent,” press ts the best moral and intedlectuai educator for the people.
