P,0P184 ORGA,NIZATIONS. The Popish organizations in England and Ireland, to annoy. constitutional assemblies, and put an end to freedom of speech, have at length desisted, after doing much harm, par ticularly to their authors and abettors. Ro mish journalsj,priests, and bishops, made no secret of the object of the displays in &Mist, Birkedlietkl, and Hyde Park, and rejoice& in there,, as a step in the right direction—tow ards domination in England. • For this they write, and live, and labor. Should they ever obtain it—which with the help, of God they never shalt—we might expect Spanish intol erance, heate& seven times, to be imported into our native land. So long as Roman Catholics hold the Pope, in a certain sense, to bathe Xing of kings, they must, as loyal to , him, be ditturbers of any Government 'Mier which they dwell. Therefore, while they should be tolerated and protected in the exercise of their, civil and Teligious rights,. they should not be caressed and invited to. the uppermost seats, .in the vain hope of keeping thein quiet. PASTORAL. .tRTTERS. Mitred clergy of " Mother Church 'select wonderful topics for their pastorals. Oar-' dinal Wise Man lectures his dear children on their riots, advising, theta ' to go no farther, and praising them f'or'What they have done, as I odee _beards a mother do with her son, who, in her presence, had been fighting with another boy. The Archbishop of Cashel admonishes his people in the parish of Emly against faction fights between the " Three Year olds and Four Year olds ! " The ori gin of these fights, it seems, was a dispute which.onoe took place between two men, as. to whether a, certain bull was three or four years Old:-=a circumstance sufficiently trifling to be called, as his Grace calls it, ridiculbus. It appears Dr. Leahy has tried' several me thods of makingpeace between these celebra ted factions, but in vain. He has forbid den the sae' of into.ticating drinks on' Sab bath; bat this, leaving the large margin of fair days and, holy days, made no improve ment on the men of Emly. His last pastoral is now on its trial ; and if it. fail,. a visit of the Rede.mptorist Fathers is threatened. They will, come ; and if they do not leave Emly a more powerful,parish than they found it, they will leave it a poorer one. There is an old book, called the Bible, which, if Dr. Leahy would introduce in the households of Emly, would be the death of the disgrace ful factions which since time immemorial have filled many a grave. THE CATHOLIC 'UNIVERSITY. The Catholic University of which we heard so much not long since, in connection with the most unblushing and defiant violation' of the Sabbath, promises to be a famous failure: The foundation stone lies alone in its glory. By way of apology for the defeat of the Ro mish plot to get a separate State grant for education, and a charter for the college in Stephen'ir Green, Dublin, and "to make the pot boil'," the rector of this no-called college, using a boldfigure of speech, has declared flint " the people of Ireland have conferred " what Lord Palmerston refused." Nothing can exceed the genius of the Men of Rome for making the best 'of a bad cause. Roman Catholic students, in considerable numbly, attend the Queen's Colleges - , though these seminaries have the honor of being under the anathema of the Pope. I speaks well for the independence of ,these piing, men, that they can afford to defy even the head of their Church. Among the Protestants of Ireland sympa thy with thA Lancashire sufferers is very generally felt, and expressed in the form of pecuniary subscriptions. Collections for their. relief have been niade in many of. the Estab , lished churches ; and it is intended the Pres byterians should also do something, As a body, the Roman Catholics have kept aloof from this work' 'of charity, which is highly discreditable to them, fdr this among other reasonss•that the English were forward to aid the Irish when famine was sore in the land, It may, be, pleaded , that the Saxon is the enemy of the. Celt. If so, what follows, ac cording to the teaching of the New Testa ment ? "If thine enemy hunger, feed him ; if he thirst, give him drink." Surely the native-Irish who are warm-hearted and gen erous to - a proverb, will not suffer , such an opportunity of preserving their good.narne to pass. If they do, the blame, shall lie at the priestly teachers door. ,paving;' to the -severity of the latter part, of a late, harvest, it, is to be feared that many farmers in bfteliwood local ities will be greatly straitened in cir cumstances this winter. It would be a sore, but a just retribution, if the btot , up want of last year should be a reality "thin" year, in those very districts An which "thA ''oil was loudest. How careful men should eiiterl lie of tampering with Divine providence! IRISH MISSIONS IN INDIA. ' I The late letters from the General Assem bly's Missionaries in India bring , very grati fying and cheering intelligence as to the Lord's work there. In the neighborhood of Gogo, a movement has taken ; place among the natives who of their own accord, applied to. the missionaries for tWo teachers to reside in the. village. In the vicinity of Borsud, lived a convert, :brought to a knowledge of the truth some years ago. 'Using', his jail ene,e on behalf of the Gospel,lC his had the pleasure of seeing one hundred families rising up; and coming to the missionaries' for• Chri stian instruction. These facts place the past and the future at once beforees, reminding us that "they who sow in tears-shall reap in joy." This is another proof that the. Lord will not suffer one word . of his prophecies to fall to the , ground. The missionaries are endeavoring to provide residenceS 'for as Many Of - the converts as poSsible, near the stations. Living lit 'such places the native Christians' lie.free.from many annoy anceathey now suffer; and would also hate better opportunities of instruction. The Lord make bare his own arm on• behalf of his Own truth in India ! Aal have here spoken of India, I may add another very encouraging item of news, in reference to the education question on which in general, Dr. Killen, author of The Ancient Church," made the following remarks in the opening lecture of the session in Belfast . Fresbyterian College : —" The Crusades had roused Europe from its mental slumber; education became the rage. . . . During the course of the Fif teenth eentury, no less than twenty-seven new universities were established. This in tellectual light was the harbinger of the light Divine, for the universities introduced. the Reformation." A university has been open ed in Calcutta;'and an earnest desire has sprung up among those, in the provine,e ' who study English, to gain its honors. The Rev. Dr. Mullens writes, " The University stand ard, the books, and subjects appointed for examination, are rapidly determining the character of the education given in every Anglo-vernacular school in the country. In the: governing body of the senate, the Chris tian and Missionary institutions of the coun try are well represented by Dr. Duff, who has devoted much time to these. questions', and his exercised a powerful influence on their, practical settlement:" 0 that it may be in the nase ,of India, in 'the nineteenth , century, as it was in, the case of Europein the fifteenth, that the University shall intro duce the Reformation! Comparisons have b pronoutced odious, more generally than justly, perhaps. Still hey have 'their uses; and one, of their Uses in reference to educa tion in India is, to show that missions can do more voi* at less expense of '.pecuniary power than the Government can. At a cost of £250,000, the State educates, 127,513 children ; and at a cost,of .416,500; Missions educated 100,000 children. These figures are 'arn unanswerable argument in favor of free trade in the departmenteflearning. If the,Government were as wise as it itoold, it would see it to be alike its duty t‘iicl•interest tolanci over the education of fh,e,Jridian youth into the hands of the various Missions which, in this matter, have shown themselves to be worthy of confidence and support. PRESENT TO DR. CANDLIBR. On the occasion of Dr. Candlish's installa tion, as Principal of the New College, Edin burgh, his, admirers in the Free. Church pre sented him with the munificent sum of X 5,620. .the testimonial, shows that these .men can appreciate real worth, it proves, to a demonstration, that - they% believe the present 'standard of ministerial Support to be - fixed quite too low. The presentation may fairly be regarded as the first fruits of Dr. Guthrie's admirable address, delivered at the close of the last General Assembly— an address in which he argued that if !' the laborer is worthy of his hire," the hire, should be worthy . of the laborer. THE SABBATH QUESTION. The friends may foes' of the Sabbath en camped, it may be said; in Edinburgh—the scene of many a memorable struggle between truth and -error—are still at war about the opening of the Botanic Garclens on the Lord's day. Hitherto the former have the best of it—the Government having refuSed, for the preset,t, to sanction the opening. ~ks the public mind in Edinburgh has received a great amount of stirring' nstruction on how the Sabbath is to be sanctified, it 'is to be expected that the opposition'to this addition al form of Sabbath profanation will wax Stronger and. stronger, and prove more than a match for the evil spirits of the' infamous " Sunday League." , VIE :PRIXON OF The Prince'ot Wales has attained his ma jority in circumstances without a parallel in , the :history of English Princes. Because the court and nation may be >said to be still in mourning forthe death of "Albert the Good," and because the. Prince of Wales is to be married to a'Princess of Denmark next year, there was very little demonstration of popu lar jby On the last birthday of ITis Royal Highness.. The full burst Of national rejoic ing is reserved= for the coming nuptials. Much is expected from the present Prince, owing to the care,bestowed on his education; especially by his father, a man of talent and. -an accomplished scholar. All godly Protes tants hope and pray that, as the ~name of EdWard the Sixth, though aybuth, is aBBO - with the Reformation in England,the mane Of ',Edward the Seventh shall be asso ciated With 'the preservation of that religion to which' his house, under' God, owes the throne, and' ritain her greatness:. BISHOP . 00LENSO'S ' BOOK. Great:excitement prevails regarding Bishop Colmo's new book, in which he tries to prove the first eix books of the Bible to' be no better than old'itife's fable." His Lordship's explanation 'of his ehatige of 'nand concerning the first books of the Bible is' simply ibsurd. An African , eipresscd his utter astonishment at some quotations Dr. Colenso one day made from the writings of Moses, and the. Doctor staggered, and even tually fell into infidelity. I should like to know if he had any German works in his library at Natal, because I am strongly of opinion they did more to mould his , mind than the African's expression of 'wonder. It' is said , it-Will be difficult to discover any means of -proceeding against- a heretical bishop.; k suppose he cannot be got into the Court of Arches - even. Though his superiors PHILADELPILIA, in the Church give him "a fears pardon"-- , - that is, take no notice of hiin, all men will not do that. I have seen it stated that ISaic Taylor is preparing'to try him; and I am 'sure" he will stripithe consecrated infidel, if not of his episcopal income, at,least of his pretensions to accurate theological scholar §hiP. ' TITE EVANGELICAL' ADLIANCD AND WEE WAR. At &meeting of the Britishßrattely of the ,Evangelical , Allitlnce in London, a clisbussion lon-the American war tookplaee. ,!_The Rev.

The Lord send peace—and soon—to America! TAE POPYS TEMPORAL POWER. Nearly 9000 priests, have petitioned the. Pope to give up the temporal poiver Of course he will not do so; for the temporal is the " betterhalf "of his power. The leader in this movement is Parraglia whom his 2 Holiness selected as defender of the dogma, of the Immaculate Conception. The` mental cialistS have counted the cost, and are ready. to brave the terrors of even ucurse. It might be that what took place in England in the reign of Henry the Eighth,. might take place in Italy. First, the authority of ;the Pope will be disowned, and next, great ecclesias tical changes will be made,--the Chili* in some degree, being purified. 4C Good results may be - expected, when priests and people are both on the 3 right side."----Rut for Napo leon, who,, it is hinted, is under fethale influ ence he cannot gainsay, the - Italians would. soon right themselves. ; , lle may delay, but, he cannot'preyent the complete liberation of. Italy; and if he do not " sacrifice " to Italy, and Pi'ed'mont, Rome and the Papacy, they. shall fall by a hand even Napoleon must fall before. It is fatal', as it is foolish Work 'to strive with the Lord. ' S. M. •' 'ffelittii.l . -40.: PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S PLAN FOR *COX , PENSATED EMLNCIPATION. FROM. THE LAT g 41ES§AGE CqN(.4.RES. Our strife pertains, to eurselves ..to, the passing generations of men, and it'can, with-, out - convulsion, be hushed. ,forever, with tl e . passing of one generation. In this view I recommend the adoption of the folloWing re solution's and' articles, ainendatory to" the Oonititution of the• United States. Bisolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,.two-thirds of both ,Houses concurring, that the follow!, ing articles be proposed to the Legislatures, or Conventions of the several States,: aa amendments to the Constitution of the Uni ted States, all or any of which articles, when ratified by three-folirths of the said Legisla tures or Conventions, to be valid as Part ur parts of said Constitution, viz : • Article —. Every State-wherein slavery now exists; which shall abolish the • same therein at, any time or times before, the. first day of January, in, the, year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred, shall receive com pensation from the 'United States asfoilows, to wit:-- - - . ' The Presidentof the United' States Shall' deliver to every, such State . bon& of the United States, bearing 'interest at the rate of—per cent. per. annum, to an amount equal to the, aggregate sum of each slave shown to have been therein by the eighth census of the United States, said bonds to be delivered to such State, by.in stallments, or in one pareel, at the comple tidn of the 'abolishment; aCcordingly as the, same shall' have been gradual, or at one tikne i ! within such State; and interest shall' begin O.IIIU upon any such• bond' only fronv the proper time of its delivery aforesaid. Any State baying received bonds is afore said, and afterwards reintroducing or toler ating slavery therein shall refund to the United States the bands - s 6 ruceived, or the value - thereof,: and' all interest paid Article. —. All slaves who shall have enjoy ed actual freedom by the chances of the war, at any before the end of the Rebellion, shall be forever free, but all owneks of such how, shall not have' been disloyal shall be cotc- pen Sated 'for al' the Sable rate, as is provided for 'Stafes adOpling' abolisliMent of slavery, but in such , way that 'no ;Slave shall be tWice actounted'foi.. Article Congress may, appropriate mo ney and otherwise provide for colonising free colored persons, with their , own consent at, any place or paces without the ljnited States. DISCUSSION, QE THE EMANOTPATION. MEASURE. I beg indulgence to discuss these propctsed articles at some length. Without slavery the Rebellion would never have existed=; without slavery:it could not continue. Among the frieids of, the Union there is great diversity of sentiment and of policy in regard to slavery arid the Afiican race amongst us. Some would pbrpetnate sla= very; some would abolish it, suddenly and without 'compensation ; some would abolish it gradually, and with compensation ; some would remove the, freed. people from us, and some would 'retain them with ,us, and there are yet other minor 'diversities. Becanse of these diversities we waste muCh'strength in struggles among ourselves. By mutual con cession we should harmOnize and act'togeth er. • This' would be iompromisec, but it would be compromise among the friends, and not with the enemies of the Union. These arti cles are intended to embody a, plan of such mutual concessions. If the .plan ,shall be adopted, it is assumed that, emancipation will, follow, at least in several of the State's. As to•the•first article, the "main points are —first, the' emancipation secondly,' the 'length of time for consummating it, thirty aeven years, and thirdly, the compensation.

The , slave-ina.sters 'of •the:Sotith charged the Republicans upon the stump with desiring the freedom of the slaves; and not only that, but with a purpose, if Fremont was elected, of forcibly setting the sieves free. The slaves all over the South were full of discon tent at the defeat of the Republicans.' This chscentent in Some localitieS came near to developing into open insurrection. This fact made a deep impression upon the mind of the President;. and he told Mr. Casey. that the slaves uf the South understood fully ?tow, as they ! have never, understood before, that the Northern people are friendly to their freedom. Whether they are mistaken or not, the Whole slave population of the gonth evects its freedom at 040 kande. These black millions are waiting"patiently for their time Conte, and it'the' war ends without giving them their friedvm, THEY WILL TAKE IT ! This was the idea. of the President ; and it strikes me as a very important one. It is therefore, says ,Mr.. Lincoln, a mercy to all the ,parties concerned to take the matter into ou}-, own hands, for we can control it.
