my own. Calvin could sentence Ser-

hear, unmoved,|the shrieks of the a.‘iirigl1-
ted martyr as the flames of fire were con-
suming his body, but could, in the very
refinement of cruelty, even contemplate
with cool philosophy the commission of
such injustice. And even Melancthon
with -all his exemplary mildness could
justify Calvin for the martyrdom of Ser-
vetus. The bold and intrepid Luther,
the St. Paul of his time, the master spir-
it of the reformation, the moral hero of
Germany and Europe, was at times 31
harsh minister of his faith. So Was Cran-
mer, who sent inoffensive men and wo-
men to the stake. Sofwas John Knox.
Even Hues, who was burnt to dmtlr by
the Nominalists, at the Council of Con-
stance, had once been a per_secutor.—-
The heroic Ziska, whose idignant spirit
could not bear the persecutions of Huss
and Jerome, avenged his own wrong by
putting the fanatical Beglards to fire and
sword. _ J ustas Francis the First, whom

know, also, that Protestants in their
time, have passed many harsh laws, and
I am not here to defend them. In 1699
they made the saying of mass in Eng-
land a crime, and punished the offenders
with life-time imprisonment. Teaching
public or private by the Romish parti-
zans, was a similar offense and met with
like punishment. The same law com-
pelled the forfeiture of every, Catholic es-
tate to the nearest protestant ltinsman,
until the offender should redeem it by
profeasiuga creed which his judgment
and conscience rejected. The Catholic
was dispossessed of his property, and
made an -outcast and a beggar. Of such
times and such acts, in an age of infidel-
ity, perhaps it was true, as Dr. Johnson
said, that they who would exclaim,
“Popery," “papery,” would have cried
"fire," "fire,” in the midst of the Gener-
a1‘Deluge. The No Popery riots of
1_780,sographic.ally described by Dickens
and others partook of something of the
same intolerant spirit. _~
4 But let it be remembered, not as an
excuse for these things, but as a fact,
that the intolerant spirit of Romish cor-
ruption had provoked such excesses, and
that intolerance and bigotry have not
ceased."~' Both were seen in England
when Queen Caroline commended, not
Walpole to the King, but the King to
Walpole. The minister of Church and
State, was greater than the sovereign of
the realm. Like a true Jesuit, Walpole
promised the Dissenters, there should be
a day .of deliverance ITOH1 tlreobligations

promise to the ear, and broken to the

long delayed answer also came, "never,”

In Protestant America, the human
mind has become more tolerant. I cer-
tainly have no desire to recall the past,

, except as it is wise and desirable to learn

wisdom from experience.

As Lord Erskine said in the British
Parliament at a period not altogether dis-
similar too the present, I will not call
up from the-grave of martyrs all the blood
that has been spilled in England or else-
where,.lo save established government
and reformed religion from the secret
villarny, and the open forces of the Pa-
pista. Let me add that if Protestants
have also been bigoted and oppressive
the hope that they will be so no more,
and 11' need be let the strong arm of law
reach them whenever faithless to the
cause of religious freedom. But 11. is‘

Legislation at Rome both as to ecclesi-
astical and civil law, for all people and
countries where the Pope is supreme,
has its exemptions. This is true in Bol-
gium, where the clergy are esteemed to

' be officers of Government, and Churches

and Church Revenues are the property
of the nation. It is true in France,
where’ Chtllfch property is held by the
Municipal Power of the Communes.-—
The civil power is also, upon the sur-
face, the controlling power in the Cath-
plic Swiss cantons, and in many of the
German Catholic States. But such ex-
ercises of possible aspect which_ can be
given to the relations of Government is
that of Innocent III. wherein be com-
pares the Civil Power to the Moon, and
the Church to the Sun. “As," says he,
“the sun and moon are placed in the fir-
rnament, the‘ greater as the light of the
day. and the lesser of the night; thus
are these two powersin the church ; the
pontificial which, as having the charge
of eoull, la the greater, and the royal,
which is less, and to which the bodies of
men only are trusted.” But the truth
is, this Papal power claims dominion
over both. I will now add more mod-
ern testimony of the power claimed. by
and for the head of the Church of Rome
in regard to civil and temporal adminis-
tration of affair in Church and State,
and read a few paragraphs as specimens
of the material of which this entire edi-
fice is built.

Mr. Brooks then read as follows from
the volume of Brownson’s Review of
1858, from ‘the article. “The Two Or-
dare, Spiritual and Temporal.” vol. 1, p

"The deposing power, there, is inherent in
her (the Church) as the spiritual authority, as
the guardian and judge of the law, under which
Kings and Emperors hold their crowns, and

ereign, absolving his subjects from their alle-
giance and authorizing them to proceed to the
choice of a new sovereign, she does but apply
the law Of 0111181 to 8. particular case, and ju-
dieiall declares what is already true by that
law. he only declares that the forfeiture has
occurred, and that the subjects are released

From article “The Spiritual not for the Tem-

poral,” April, 1853 (Brownson’s Review.)

_ I am the more careful to read these
extracts from the official Book, which I
find in the State Library, because of the
bold denial of Mr. Brownson to the au-
thenticity pf a paragfaph, less offensive
than any one of these, credited to him by
my friend from the 31st (Mr. PU'1‘NAM,)
and whose lead I am very happy to fol-
low in his honest effort to correct a great
public abuse.

Let 'me now link the chain of evidence
as the interference of this huge power in
matters alien to all free religious wor-
ship. 

[Mr. Bnooxs then read the following
extracts:]

_“Blasius, in his book, De Rom. Eccles. Dig-
mtate, pp_. 34, 83, 84, says, ‘Unicus Del, &c.,
the Pope 1S tbe only Vicar of God, his power
is over all the world, Pagan as well Christian
the only _Vicar of God_who has supreme power
andflprnplre over all kings and princes of the

“Bzovius, in his book De Rom. Pontif, cap.
46,'p. 621, ‘Papa summan, &c. The P0’ has
supreme power even over kings and Christian
princes, who may correct them, and remove
them from office, and in their place put in oth-
ers.’ See Domoulin’s Papal Usurpaliam. p.
14, &c., folio. . _ '

“M.a.ncinus, De jure princip. Ram. Iib. 3,
cap. 1. 2, says. “Papa, &c. The Pope is lord
of the whole world. The Pope, as Pope, has
temporal power ; his temporal power is most
eminent. All other powers depend on the
Pope.” I

_ "llloscovious, De ./ifajcstat Eccles. .7lIr's2'I.
lib. 1._ cap. §,_says, ‘~‘Pout»ifex, fro. The Pope

tribunal are the same. All other powers are
his subjects.’ See also Phithou, Corpus. fur.

“Sciopplus, in his Eccles. Jacob. Jllao. Brit
:R_eg. Oppas. cap. 138, 139, 241, says, “Cathol-
1c1 non tantum. 8,-c, Catholic’s believe the
Pope’s power to be not only nzinisterial, but
imperial, and supreme, so that he has the right
to direct and compel, with the power of life
and death.” '

"‘Mayuardus, in his book De P-rivileg Ec-
cie , artic. 5. sect. 19 and 21; artic. 6, sect. 1
and 11; artic. 13,_sect. 19, says, ‘Magistrates
are the Pope-s subjects. ‘The Pope has power
ln the whole world, In temporals and spirituals.
‘Statutes made by laymen do not bind the clot.

‘.‘Turrecrement-a, Card Ad. can,alius 3, cans
14; Quest. 6, and in his book De Eccles. lib.
ii. cup. 14, says, ‘Paps. potest, &c. The Pope

fully absolve subjects from their oath of alle-
giance. If the king (or chief Magistrate) be
manifestly a heretic ;’ that is, a. Protestant ;~—
‘the church may depose him.’

“The sum of this argument is this : When
the good or the Roman Church requires it (and
the pope is the judge of that,) ‘the pontiff can
exact civil laws for a people ; he can conform
them,-and abrogate them at his will, as an-
preme spiritual prince-; he can erect kingdoms;
transfer thrones, dcpose magistrates, kings
and emperors, and by divine right, he can res-
cind all obligations of citizens to their govern-
ment, and all allegiance of a people to their
chief magistrate.” I

“The glossa of John Semeca, in Gratian,
asks. ‘For what sins may the Emperor (or a
magistrate) be deposed ?’ The answer is this:
‘Pro quolibet, &c.; for any sin, if he be incor-
rigible, and not only for his sins, but ifhe do
unprofitably manage his regal power.’ See
Glossa, ad Can. S2‘. Papa 6, Dist. 40. The
power of judging when a. magistrate does man-
age his civil power unprofitably,’ is also vested
in ‘the pope. Sec Can. Allius, 2, Cap. 15,
Ques. 5. Demonlin, p. 21. Pope Zachary acted

deposed the King of France.

“By Cannon law the Pope is invested with
power to annul any civil law that may injure
the papal interests. Here is the law : C'orp'us
Jar. Cannon. lib. vi. Decretal, cap. 9 : ‘Non
valeat, doc. All laws by which the oflice of a
heresy detector is obstructed, or retarded, are
null and voi'd"’

‘Again, 19, p. 142. ‘Bona, &c. The goads
of heretics are rightfully confiscated.”’

Thus 111 Austria, Spain, or in Mexico
whatever appeal the oppressed may make
to the civil law, it is all in vain. The
ghostly tribunal confiscates his goods ;—
and not only IS father, and protector ofa

family, torn away by the spiritual ruffi-
ans, but every article of property, and
even the last morsel of food, are abstract
ted from the mother, and her weeping
children.

Decretnl of Pope Gregory IX, lib.V Ti-

“Moheantur, Src. Let the secular powers be
admonished and induced, and, if neces.-utry,1et
them be compelled by church censures, that

licly take_an_ oath, that from the lands under
their jurisdictions, they will, with all their
might, study toextermlnate all heretics denoun-
ced by the church, ties.”

In section‘si:rth, the Pope utters’ his
curse “on all civil‘ powers who impose
new taxes without the consent of ' the
Roman court.”

In the 14th section be curses magis
trates, who take away thejurisdiction of

up a cause of quarrelbetween the priests

jnstead of referring it simply to the for-
eign judge, they come under the papal
curse.

who shall give. absolution to any under
these dooms, ‘(in face ofthese prese_n,ts,”

ments, as she shall think most conven-
ient. ’

If the use of temporal power and tem-
poral interference in State-and Church,
or the combination of Church and State
are still denied, it is a brazen contradic-
tion of a wellflautlieriticatcd truth. Po.
litical events’in every country are, sub-
jects of report. from every diocese at least
once a year. Sardinia to day is the V13.
tim of Papal oppression. Fictor Manu-
el, the young King there, is mocked in
his calamities, though losing mother and
wife in the space of eight days, by the
whole order of Jesuits‘ The Pope cen-
sures him for favoring religious toleration
and for not looking with a more kindly
spirit upo"n the 490. convents, spreac like
cells in El honey comb, all over that small
kingdom, and as full of priests as the

law. '

Do you ask for additional evidence of
Papal Supremacy or-dominio_n with the
governments of the earth " Let me add,
to what I have said, the words of the
great Machiavelli, he who was strangled
for uttering the truth}, and for his endea-
vors to give deliverance to Florence,

a brave man in the Sardinian Parliament
the last month, invited Pepin to Italy?
Stephen II, Who called Charlemagne 3
Adrian I. Arnofi”, the German, the two
Othos, Henry I.I, Conrad the Salic, Chas.
d’Anjou, were called by the Popes.-
French, Saxons, Swedes, Spaniards,
Germans, Swiss, Hungarians, and even
Turks, all of them were called to Italy
by Pontiffs of Rome. Since the revolu-
tion of 1848, Austrians, Neapolitans,
Spaniards and French have all been the
guardians of Italian tyranny, while Ital-
ians have been watched and hunted, ex-
iled and imprisoned, condemned and ex-
ecuted.

.Look at Italy now, as seen in‘ what
are called the States of the Church. A
little while since, upon an area of 27.-
280.squnre miles, and with a population
of less than 3,000,000 people, there were
53,000 Priests, 1,825 Monasteries, 612
Nunneries, protected not by a Roman,
but by a Swiss soldiery of four or five
thousand men. One day it is an Bustri-
an army in command; another Swiss
hirelings, another Neapolitan soldiers,
and to day it is the protection of French
bayonets. Look even now at the city
of.Rome, with its chapel of the Madon-
na in the church of St. Augustin, hung
with dirks and knives (as another chap-
el there is hung with human bones, for-

med into chandeliers and curious devi-

ces,) given upon condition of pardon and
absolution for all past offences,

proposed to suppress a few religious or-
ders of the most obnoxious character,
but none of those whose duty itis to ad-
minister to the sick, orto preach or teach
But the Pope threatens his Bull of Ex-
communicatlon, and the Sardillian Bish-
ops threaten their anathemas. No won-
der, for their annual incomes are $25,-

to the Archbishop of Monota, more than
$20,000 to the Archbishop of Sardinia
and Oristano, $19,000 lollim of Mercel-
li, while the poor curates‘ who perform
the really hard services of the church
receive only $95 a year!

In a single day in Rome, under French
domination, there have been 120 assassi-
nations in twenty-four hours, and with a
population of only 15,000 people!

[l3-'.VVe would call attention of the
American_public to the following ex-
tract from the Danville (Ky.) Tribune,
as exhibiting the immense power which
the Roman Catholic Bishops are acqui-
ring in the country, in direct opposition
to all Republican princiales:

‘Bishop Spaulding, the Roman Cath-
olic Bishop 'of this State, is the wealthi-
est man in Kentucky. His real estate,
consisting of cathedrals, churches, mon-
asteries, nunneries, asylums, hospitals,
&c., is worth not less than from two
millions to five millions of dollars. Since
the Coucil of Roman Catholic Bishops
of the United States, assembled in Bail-
more, 1848, promulgated their decree,
requiring all individuals and trustees hol-
ding property for the use of the church
to convey the same to the Bishops, all
the" Church property in the State, as we
are informed, has been conveyed to Bish-
op Spauldino. Bishop Spaulding is now
more than a millionaire. Since the is_-
suance of the decree by the Baltimore
Council, there has been concentrated in
the hands of the Roman Catholic Bish-
ops of the United States, one hundred
millions of dollars.

B. Sibley, landlord of the Naquag hotel,
in Barre, recently missed his port mou-
naie, containin $50 in money and sever-
al hundred dollars in notes. He hlmncd
a respectable mechanic llftmetl I-lerrlclt,
who, with his wife, was lodging Ill the
house, and the iron of a porte nI0Im€1IF-
having been discovered amongst the ash-

es of tee stove in his room, caused him

to be arrested.

Things were in this state ‘when the
lost port mtmnaie appeared. It was
brought by one of the Worcester stage
drivers, who at an early hour in the mor-
ning, before Mr. Herrick had risen, took
me pocket ' hook, in order to practice :1
joke on the landlord. Upon these dis.
coverjes, ML 11,, was released, after :1
day of mental’ anguish on the part of
himself and wife, such as they never be-
fore experienced.

_ P

more plenty. Yet. we doubt nnf_.thc 1n{r,11?
prices of provisions do bear with unusual SP-'

verity upon every man having a family dc-

’ pendent upon his labors for support. Under 

these circltmst-anccs we would urge o ivord of 
persuasion upon every man of means, whose |
“ deposit account” in Bank has placed him 
beyond the pinchings of the times, to pay,‘ as '
he goes’ If you purchase an article of our;
Merchantsl or Mechanics, payfaritvza-zt~,rtnt1 1
not next month or next year, even SI10l.1I(Il
your abundant means open the door on every 3
hand for such credit. Pay down, for all you 
buy, even though your Bank tleposit be all l
absorbed. _“Ov.*e no man anything,” and you .
will quickly see :1 change in the times for the 
better. l

We are told a case of one of our citizens
of abundant means, who had employed a poor

man, soured six months ago, to tvorl: upon his '

farm. This laborer had a. family to support, ._
and neeziezl every dollar as fast as earned to
provide for their daily necessities. H»: 11.7.11
dunued and vmitetl patiently for six months-
for it little balance of two and one-hall" dollars,
(9. .‘ii.'ll]'l, insignificant in the eyes of his rich
debtor, but of paramount magnitude I-1113111,)
but llzld received nothing but ‘p1‘Gllll.§«‘.‘3 and
the \T0l'1l out excuse of“ hard t’irne=2,’-‘ for pay.
One day last week he met this man at the
Britlge, and asked for his money again, but as
before, was put off with the fhrenrl-bare ex-
cuse that “ll1etimcs.tverc so hqrd he could
not get hold of a cent of money." I‘-rleved
and clisappoinlctl, the poor man went his way,
and in less than an hour this same farmer was
overheard proffering the loan of $250 to
another wealthy citizen ! 1

We own that this is an extreme case, and
the reader will no doubt agree with us, that
so gross a violation of every principle of right
and decency—deserve the execrat-ion of every
llouorablc man, if not a bill of indict-ment-or
at least, read out of the Church. Yet after all,
do not many other citizens perpetrate the
some offenses in some milder form, and thus
unintentionally add to the stringency of the

times. If every man who can, would pay as 1

he-‘goes, we should soon sail upon more pro
perous seas. Who-'11 try it?

Norwalk Institute.

This Institution is now open at its rooms
in the Mallory Building over the store of

Splendid ‘ Exhibition.
Circus and Menagerie-Tom Thumb and the
Elephants—anc1 such an array of equestrian
splendor as We seldom road about-, a1'e_to be ex-
hibited together in one pavilion, at Norvvalk,
Tucsclrty Afternoon and Evening.
Among the riders is Miss Sally Siickney. the
young and uccomplislied American Artist,
whose debut. made so great an impression lust-
seuson. Tom Thumb, the veritable lift-Ie Gen-
eral, though now of full age is: no bigger in
size than he was ten years ago, and goes
through his pcl'fo1‘_n1tmccs with :1 much more
pleasing aclclmss than in his cllilrlbood. The
Illnagerie contains it full collection of the
most rare and beautiful wild Bcastrx ever
brought together. The price of admission to
see all these Wonders mid witness tho perfor-
mnnces of one of the best organized Circus
companies in the United Slatcs,is only 25
cents, just the some that each of these features
formerly commanded. The tcnt_,whlch is very
spacious, will contain four thousand people,
and we doubt wlmther there will be any room
to spare at that.

Presentation.
The Children comprising Dr. Ha.l1’s Sabbrtlh
School presented him with an elegant Study
Chair, in the Church, 1a.stweek,1'n token of
their grateful remembrance of their friend and
pastor, who has now bid them farewell. The
exercises on the occasion were of st vary touch-
ing chnraotef-, and will no doubt be among the
happiest recollections of the Pastor’?-l connec-
tion wilh this Church in Norwalk.
Dr. _Hnll leaves with the best wishes of his
people for his prosperity and usefulness in his
new field of labor.

Mr. Pr0W1tt9s Concert.

This Juvenile Festival passed oil‘ admirably
and was gnjoyetl by good houses both eve:
nings. What is most strange, the receipts
slightly exceeded the expenditures! We can-
not stop to particularize, but to our minds it
would have been difficult for any adult perfor-
mer to have surpassed theginstrumental per-
formances, or evenseveral of the vocal pieces.
The “Little Bird’ Song,”—and the “ Swiss
Toy Girl,” by Alice Fitch,-——alone_,tverc worth
double the price of admission. At the close
of the second evening’s eutertuinmenlglt vote
of thanks was proposed by Chas. Marvin, Esq._.
and enthusiastically responded to in the 0.1111‘-
mafivc. We hope 1111'. Prowitt will “ hold on”
to his Class fill our Agricultural Fair in Sept.
next, and treat our sturdy yeomnnry to the
bcwifc-hing strains of his Juvenile Songslr.-rs.

Q. The Steamboat excitement has rslgctl
with unabated energy during the past week.
The George Law,by the Way, a splendid lit-
tle boat-, gave her free excursion as per an-
nouncement, but like most other free horses
in this locality, came near being rode to 11 oath
by a free people. We think hcr 1l0‘\i'_G1'S of
endurance were satisfactorily tested on the
occasion. The conflicting interests of the
two boats may be hm the public, but we
fear will be death to - e parties involved, if
not to the interests of the town. . We really
hope the conflicts may be compromised
among th cmselves.

transpired, If was not known wise.-n an-

The American steamer North Caroli-
na came in collision with another vcs-vol
off Holyhead, and sunk. Fortunme-Yy
no lives were lost.

On the 9th inst. at the Conference at.
Vienna, the Russian P18lllp0[eYlll11l‘lt'S-
had not yet received their instructions
from St. Petersburg, and consequently
but little buslnbss of real iniporttmce
could be transacted. ,

Accounts from the Crimea. represent
that no very important movements had
occurred’. '

The Allies. had gof everything in rea-
diness to open ‘.a general bombardment.

Constant night attacks from the Rue.
sians wsre experienced.

Omar Pasha had made extensive prep-
arations to defend Eupatoria, and had ex-
tended his. lines considerably. The re-
port (brought by the Nashville) of a gen.
eral engagement with the Russians is
contradicted. The Turks were about
receiving a reinforcement of 5,000 men
from the Allies before Sevastopol, and
the troops from Sardinia and France
would he landed at Eupatoria.

It was reported that the Allies were
about to fortify and hn.‘tl Kameisch as a
material guarantee.

General Canrobert estimates the losses
in the engagement on the night of the
22nd as follows: Russians, 700 killer]
1,500 wounded ; French, 200 killed,
400 wounded. _

The Russians deny the death of Men-
chikoff, but admit that he is wounded.

A French steamer and two ships, hav-
ing horses on board, were lost off Balt-
scllik.

At Galatz. there were two hundred
vessels tvaitifig to loud corn. The first
British squadron for the Baltic arrived
at Elsinore on the 1st of April, but ow-
ing to immense fields of drifting ice, the
Baltic could not be safely lmvigated for
at least two weel;:.,

The Commoners are Coming.

There is a prevalent feeling, that the
day has come for new men to make them-
selves fell. in politics. Fresh hands man
the brakcs——men who but yesterday
were so absorbed in their own business,
as to be unnoticed by the general com-
munity, now loom large above the mis-
ty waves; and people cotton to them,
as the universal Yankee race always did
love rt daer of the word, better than a
preacher thereof. VVe like a solid char-
acter, built up from a quiet and unosten-
tatious performance of our every day du-
ties, discharged faithfully and honorably
as they come along, far better than a
noisy ranter, so occupied in talking,-that
he saves himself the trouble of acting up
to his talk. Hurrah for the Common-
ers '. Hurrah for the untainted common
sense of the native Yankee!

The past is irrevocable. Men who
are now, by our laws, fully entitled to
vote, must continue to vote, They Gan.
not be divested of their rlghtss, and no
one desires to do it, if it were pracrica-
ble. But thefuzure we can control-
and seeing what we see, we are {aimless
to our duties, to ourselves and to our
children, we are political cowards, if we
dare not say to these foreigners “Come
among us, if you please; obey our laws;
conduct like good citizen and no man
shall wrong you, urircdriessed; but think
not to govern us; that is all you can
have; you cannot. and will not stand on
the some political level with ourselves."
It requires seme nerve, even now, to
tie such a tone as this; but it will re-'
quire much greater nerve, years hence.
The sooner the stand lS taken the better-
and she easicr, for all parties. It is a
State matter, perfcctlyly uiuler our con-
trol; as citizens of Conn-scticut, we can
make what laws we please on this sub-
ject, and let W'iscons.in make what laws
she pleases.

It is possible that. the Wcsterll States,
having quantities of virgin soil to be cc-
cupied, may for some years to come find
it their policy to offer political equality
to every new corner, But we in Con-
necticut have unoccupied lands to offer,
our State has existed lll3.l‘r’.‘. than two
centuries, our population should be hom-
ogeneous. Vile might have :1 sturdy
race of (i‘om1ecticur. men, long headed
men; of simple, frugal, hard working
habits, (:Olll.t‘l1L with plain living and
liioh acting; salisficll to live in our own ,

5 Some are preparing to conform 3::
! obvious meaning, others to defy ll. 11 is
not apprehended, however, that st-z--re

will be much difficulty during the '..-.‘s=r-
val between the cessation of the license
system and the Fourth of July. The:
temperance party are not, I think, dis-
posed to proceed to extremities pending
the advent of the whole law. Both
sides, however, are preparing for the lit-
igafion which will immediately follow
that event. The liquor interest is pow-
erful in a pecuniary point of view, and
has secured the services of the ablast
members of our bar, among others
O’Connor, who has certainly no superi-
or, it he has anyequal among his pro-
fessional brelhrcn in this city. He has
received $500 for his opinion, which is
said to be "an opinion as is an opinion,”
and will be retained on the alcoholir: side
during the struggle. If, the law could
have fair play it would triumph over all
the objections of Mr. Hall, district attor-
ney, and Mr. Dillon, Corporation coun-
sel, which, after all. are little better than
more qulbbles. But there is a more se-
rious drawback to its practical usefulness
which may, and probably will, render it
a nullity in this city. A law passed sub-
sequent to the passage of the liquor bill
enacts that misdemeanors committed
here shall be tried exclusively in the court
of sessions. Breaches of the prohibitory
law are misdemeanors, and as the last
mentioned act provides that the class of
misdemeanors of which it takes cogin-
zance, shall take precedence of all others
in all courts of the State, it is pretty clear
that the court of sessions will be brought
toa stand-still by me overwhelming mass
of business which the liquor dealers will
take care shall be forced upon it "from
the jump." The probability is, there-
fore, that the retalling of intoxicating
drinks will not be stopped in this city by
the new measure; but I have no doubt
that the law will be so amended at the
next session of the next legislature as to
leave no loop-holes wide enough for a
“Philadelphia lawyer” to drag a contu-
macious client through.

The extreme leniency of the Court of
Oyer and Termlner (Judge Church pre-
siding) in the case of the youth Allen,
who wantonly inflicted a mortal stab on
a man named Patrick Quinn, in Antho
ny street, last November,’ has excited
wme Sl1l"pl‘ise. Allen pleaded guilty of
manslaughter in the 3d degree, and‘ his
plea was accepted. When brought up
for sentence, the Court, in consideration
of his tender years, (he was about 16)—
and alleged intention to lead a better life
ordered the sentence to be suspended (in-
ring the culprit’s good behavior, and he
was discharged.

The nomination of Commodore Yan-

tee states, over his own signature, that
it was merely a bit of gas, intended as a
sort of counter-blast to the nomination of
George Law. The Commodore bit at
the attempting bait, and talked back ve-
ry sententiously. It is decidedly irreve-
