• I i The Testimony of Tobn Wesley
"'ll prove this by a' plain argument (let
hunt' answer it that can) that no Boman
CathOlic doesor can give security fur his al
i legiaqce or peaceable behaViour. I proVe it
th - us - i It is a Roman Catholic maxim,- estab
iishecl not .by private men, but by public
coundil, that '.No filth is tO be, kept with her.
I eties..! Whether private !persons avow or
disavow it, it is a fixed maxim of the Church
of P.gme. But as long as ;it is so, nothing
can be more, plain, that the, members of the
church can give no reasonable security to
any government for their allegiance and peace
able, behaviour. Therefike they ought not
1 to be.tolerated by any got:eminent, Protest
ant, ISiohaniedan or Pagan.l You say ' nay,
)rut they take', an oath of allegiance.' True,
five hundred Oaths; 'but thii inaxim,' no faith
is to he kept with heretics,'lsweeps them all
away as aspider's web. ISO that still no
Governors,'' that are not Roman Catholics,.
can have any security of their allegiance."
";Again, those-who aekru.i l wledge the spir
itual power, of the Pope c a n give no security
of their allegiance to any government : but
all R.Omati Catholics acknoWledge this; there
fore, :they car give no security for: their al
legialce. The power of pardons for
all sins—past, present and to coma—is, and
has ben for many centuriaa, one branch of
his spiritual power. But those who acknowl
edge' 'm to have this spiiitual . pOwer can

give, security for their allegiance since
they believe the Pope can pardon rebellion,

Progress of the Daguerretut Art.
We have a distinct- remembrance - of the
first .Paguerreotypes takeal• in 'this City:-'-.=
They were but- faint, leadea-hued sketches,.l
and yet they were considered Triumphs of
art. , And so, indeed, they were, when Ate
exquisite power of which they Were the open
ing frhits, are duly -estimated' They mere"
the first achievements we had beheld • in an
art which, it was known, cold ;be so far.Oer
feeled as to furaish us with life-like portratts
of those 'we love or respect.. For a =Sid
erable time those Daguerreotypes remained'
unimproved, and some ventured to doubt
whether they could , ever damage the 'value
of painted miniatures, Slowly, but : s urely,
the art advanced, however, The first Ira
pro veihent was by; a hew Chemical pr•acess,
to render the picture more durable.. 'Then
came the Talbotypes, or portraits •transferred
from the plates to e . t , iper. .Finally;;after
years of patient expewneut, we haw: the
almost perfect paintings the gun,in Arabro
type, lacking nothing but color," which must
be added by hand, to 'render theth all that
could be "wished. • 'f , - •
The Ambrcitype, , is a picture upon gins,
prepared • for the purpose, and taken withothe
same camera used for takinc , b Daguerreotypes.-
Its'advantages are that thelines of the coun
tenance are more clearly defined, ad, the
lightsl and shades more eirectiVely,utellowed
than in the ordinary Daguerreotype, while
the picture is perfect on either side of the
()lass. 'When taken from the eamera, the
glass is dipped in - a solution of iron, and Sen.
held under a clear stream of Water; .when the'
picture . becomes visible in all its e.TqUisiter
fmtures., Another glass is closely cemented
oyer.the picture before. it is put in a case or
frame. - They are the most indelible ilidkres
ever taken by the Daguerrean or any kindred
art. '
- Photographs
r are the transfers of negative
portraits on "glass. to paper. They-can - be
rendered softer and generally superior to the
best mezzotint- engravings. , They be
taken of the life size, and colored so - as to :be
equal to the best . painted portraits. After
the negative is once taken upon the glasi, any
number of copies may be made of the Photo
graph. Parents may thus, a trifling ex:-
peuse,- obtain portraits of theMselVes for the
largest number Of children and relatives,
while politicians May thus advertise them ?
