Sciifori) inquirer. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, OCT. 19, 18GD THr. LESSOR The result of the elections in Pennsylva nia, Obits Indiana, and lewa should be carefnliy studied by ambitious men ; there from they may learn a most important and significant lesson. The overwhelming vic tory to the Union cause not onlj- indicates that the American people are determined that "Loyal men shall rule the country" but that it is measures, ideas, principles, and not mere men for which they vote. Tlii* is by far the most cheering evidence we have yet had of the perfect confidence with which we may rely on the intelligence and patriot ism of the people in great emergencies. Ap peals to prejudice and pa-sioncan no loucer carry their suffrages. Intelligent discussion and sound reason are the only means of in fluencing the votes of an educated people. The educated mind of the American peo peopie ignoring the behests of blind preju dice demands the enactment of laws secu ring the greatest freedom to the citizen con sistent with law and order, and the adminis tration of the laws in accordance with the spirit of our free institutions. Tbede fcctionof the ablest men, or the most dis tinguished leaders, the influence of govern mental patronage, the allurements of offi cial position, have all been powerless to swerve the people from their great purpose. An accidental President may betray, an un scrupulous administration may attempt wholesale bribery, men of brightest intellect, who have been leaders, may falter and sink beneath the Lethean waves of conservatism, but the people undismayed by treason, un corrupted by bribery, unfaltering at th# de fection of leaders, press forward with a steady pace, toward that purer political faith which shall eventually extend the blessings of liberty to the whole human race, strong in their sense of duty, firm in their convictions of right and with an abiding faith in the righteousness of their cause. YEA CENT JIMMY REDIVIVI S, Copperhead hostility, to liberal wages to the workingman. good prices for the fanner and manufacturer, and the general prosper ity of the country crops out in the .Vac York Express in the following style : '■The elections in Pennsylvania, and in Ohio, Indiana, and lowa would seem to have resulted pretty much as they did two years ago —with no considerable gaiu to the Demo crats. This was as anticipated in the Ex press. New York, and the country gener ally, pay Pennsylvania eight or ten dollars bounty on every ton of railroad iron, the like on steei, something on coal—now. that the Reciprocity Treaty is abolished—and these bounties have been too strong for principles. To the grazing regions of Ohio, Indiana, and lowa, we of the seaboard pay, from 40 to 60 cents for butter, a like proportion for cheese, and a like for beef, —and hence, with such paper prices ruling over us. any great chan ges in politics are scarcely t be hoped for." Ten cents a day for the laboring man was the doctrine preached long ago by Jatues Buchanan at the dictation of Southern pol iticians Jn order, -to. crnsk . ihn- free white possible. Copperheadism has the same aims to-day and the Express in the above extract plainly declares that there is no hope for the resurrection of its party while the country is prosperous and liberal wages arc paid to willing laborers. Hard times, the oppression of the poor and the general prostration of business have always char acterized the rule of that party, and now it sees no hope unless it can once more pros trate our industry and make labor so scarce that the laborer will be compelled to work for ten cents a day or starve. From pres ent appearances the advent of this much longed for copperhead millcnium seems likely to be indefinitely postponed. THE "LEDGER" CANARD. The despatch to the Philadelphia "Ledg er' ' with regard to questions submitted to the Attorney General by the President concern ing the legality of the existing Congress seems to have been totally unfounded, and is so declared by the Ledger itself. We expected as much, however, whether the despatch were true or not. The conduct and speeches of the President, for some months past, fully justified the readiness with which the report was believed, and the consequent uprising wherever the new s was heard prior to its contradiction warns An drew Johnson of the storm that he would arouse by any such revolutionary step. We are by no means sure that the despatch, instead of being bogus, was not thrown out through irresponsible parties as a feeler of the public pulse. If so Andy Johnson has now had fair notice of the rope's end in store for him if he undertakes the role of Dictator. "We believe in Unity, in Catholicity and unity that Catholicity and Universality that *>IOICS no distinction of nation, of RACE, of language or dime, for these diversities are here all harmoniously blended together on tne profession of the same faith, in the re ception of the same sacrifice and joined in the same act of worship, in obedieace to the same recognized head.

The sen timent here so beautifully expressed is wor thy of the attention of all christian men, and we commend it to the special consider ation of the members of the Archbishop's church in this region who so freely joined in the denunciations of the people of color. \ AIAAXDIGHAM in a speech at Rossville, Butler county, Ohio, treated the Johnsonites with as little consideration as the Radicals. He denounced Seward in unmeasured terms, and said Andrew Johnson had no more right to prescribe terms than Congress er Thad. Stevens. Vallaudigham would have deliver ed this speech in Hamilton, but the Johnson men engaged all the halls with the express purpose of choking him off. THE FINAL RESULT. We dip 'he following report of the elec j tion throughout the Stat# from the Har rishurg Telegraph: Below will be found all the official returns so far as they have been received. Wher ever the full vote is omitted the actual ma putties arc given. The return?, as published are all official, but several counties arc en tin Iv omitted, for the reason that no official returns have been received. It will be ob served that we have no official returns from Butler county, which gives a majority for Gen. Geary. The only counties that give majorities tor the Copperheads, which have not been heard from, are Pike, and Wayne. We have no doubt that General Geary's majority will exceed 17,000. 1863. 186 G. o J < H ffl | Q 'l|£ I | ' § CotrsTias. - i 1 1 ' ?'

COLONIZING REBELS IN PHILADELPHIA.— The Philadelphia Bulletin of Saturday says : J his morning about four o clock, Sergeant Neff arrested a man who was prowling about in the neighborhood of Seventh and Shippen streets. The prisoner was clad in the garb of a soldier, and gave his name as Sam. Miller. It was ascertained that he belonged to Loudon county, Virginia, and he was one of a consignment of six men sent here to vote for Clymer. He says he was put on the cars and his fare paid to this city. Who he was sent to he could not tell, as one of his com panioas had the directions. He was one of Stonewall Jackson's men, and was wounded in the leg during the war. He was locked up at the Second District Police Station. The Democrats are getting desperate and there are doubtless other individuals of this stamp about the city, brought here to vote the Cop per-Johnson ticket." THE recent Paris letter published in Wash ington city, about the withdrawal of Maxi milian, is probably without the slighest foun dation, as from the latest semi-official advi ces received there from both France and Mexico, there was no thought of any such intention. The French Embassador to Wash ington is well and regularly informed upon all that is transpiring in this Mexican busi ness, and rumor says he pronounces all re ports about the speedy downfall of the Mexi can empire as very erroneous. The Empress Carlotta, of Mexico, will be accompanied on her return voyage by Gen. Uraga. HOW THE COPPERHEADS PRO POSED CARRYING THE ELECTION, Defying the Law —The Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee Openly Advocate* a Violation of the Election Laics. We give the following Democratic circular as part of the history of these eventful times. It came to light just before the election: [Circular 4—Private.] DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE ROOMS, 828 WALNUT ST., PHILADELPHIA, September 12, 1866. To J. B. Sansom, Chairman County Com mittee Indiana County : DEAR SIR: The subject of the deserters lists requires prompt and thorough atten tion. The lists are being furnished by the Adjutant General to the several clerks of Quarter Sessions, and it will be attempted to reject the votes of all those whose names are found upon them. The case of Iluber vs. Reilley settled the question in this State, and unless a man has been convicted of desertion and failure to return to service or report to a provost mar shal, he is entitled to vote. This is the fixed opinion of the Supreme Court, and they stand firmly by it. The only evidence of desertion is the rec ord of conviction. The act of Assembly known as the McConaughy law is totally void as regards all other cases, and I desire to impress it upon you and our friends, that the law is with us in this matter, and that WO will bo u*t*iriodJn receiving tboao vote* in every case, AND WILL Bh JUSTI FIED IN RESORTING TO ALMOST | KYERY MEANS TO POLL THEM. None of the penalties imposed by that law can ever be enforced; I have the very highest authority for declaring this to you. I have made every effort to bring the act of Assembly directly before the court, but up to this time have not succeeded. I shall not relax my efforts in that and anoth er direction. ... In the necessity for immediate action 1 have to give the following general direc tion*. I trust you will see them attended to, and also use all other means that you and our friends deem wise in the emer gency- I shall, within a week, furnish you with complete lists of all the alleged deserters and non-reporting drafted men so tar as I have been able to get them, and as I obtain others will also furnish you. One copy of this list will be furnished to you for every election district. "Forewarned is fore armed." The law makes the certificate of the Clerk of Quarter Sessions the evidence of desertion, and it is probable that the ene my will get certificates to use against our men, aud not produce the evidence against their own. With these lists you can learn which of their men are alsoon, and be pro vided with the weapon against them it it be necessary. The first thing to be done is to keep our election officers fully up to the mark, and sustain them in receiving these votes. 1 ad vise that a circular, signed by the District Attorney and the Democratic members of the bar, distinctly pointing out their duty under the law, and giving the point decided in Huber vs. Reilly, and assuring them that the penalties in the act of Assembly CANNOT AND SHALL NOT be enforced against them, be placed in each of their hands. A circular from yourself, accompanied by the list, should also go to the V igilance Committee, or the most reliable Democrats in each election district, for private use by them. I also wish to furnish to every election officer a copy of the decision of t lie Supreme Court. Forward me their names and post office address. Where we have the President .J udgo, the Case rs a verv piain ontf. I'tie'votes MI ST BE POLLED, and you MUST THREAT EN the Republican officers and FULFILL YOUR THREATS. This will dispose of the matter in the Democratic counties. In those counties in which the Republicans have the Judge, Juries and District Attor ney, we must be especially active in sus taining and upholding our election officers, and if we can succeed in getting them right, the whole trouble is reduced to Republican districts in their counties. Here the lists again become useful, and I advise that our friends change the voter (if it can be done) INTO A DEMOCRATIC DISTRICT OYER TEN DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION, and also provide themselves with certificates to strike their men in re turn. If we carry this out we will neutral ize their great game, and whip them with their own weapons. Please require our friends to keep aecu rate lists of all voters who may be rejected on election day. Courage, firmness and clear instructions as to duty, and we will easily win the fight. Very Respectfully yours, WM. A. WALLACE, Chairman. COMMENTS. ROOMS UNION STATE CENTRAL COMMITTER, 105 CHESTNUT ST., PHILA. Oct. i. The above circular of the Democratic Stato Central Committee is commended to the consideration of every good citizen. It makes manifest to all that that party expects to get the votes of all those men who DESERTED from the army. It counsels the violation of LAW. The State law prohibits deserters from voting, and the law of the State has not been deci ded by the Supreme Court to be unconsti tutional, and every officer of our State should obey the laws of the State. Our election law makes it a criminal offense for any one to MOVE INTO A DIS TRICT FOR THE PURPOSE OF VOTING, and yet this chaiatnan of the Democratic State Committee, William A. Wallace, a Senator of Pennsylvania, advises that in all cases, when necessary, the DESERTER should CHANGE Ills RESIDENCE TEN DAYS LIEFORE THE ELECTION INTO SOME DISTRICT WHERE THAT PAKTY HAS THE ELECTION OFFICERS, so that the DESERTER can vote The chairman of the Deinocrrtic State Committee counsels the COLONIZATION OP VOTERS, in violation of the LAW. The State law makes it a criminal offense to THREATEN the election officers. The Chairman of the Democratic State Committee commands its partisans to threaten the election officers. AND IN THIS WAY THEY teach DEMOC RACY and LAW. F. JORDAN, Chairman. DOWNFALL OF THE POPE. —A writer in Evangelical Christendom says: To the down fall of Austria must succeed the downfall of the temporal power of the Pope. There is no reason to doubt that France will execute the treaty with Italy, and evacuate Rome in the course of the present year. The depart ure of Pius IX. from that city inay not be coteniporaneous, indeed it would not surprise us should \ ictor Emanuel do all in his pow er to induce his Holiness to remain, and he may even invest his abode with all that his heart could wish for of temporal splendor. But not the less will his position be altered." Death of John Van Bnren. NEW YORK, October 16.— John Van Buren died two days since, on board the steamship Scotia at sea. His body has been brought to this city. NATIONAL. DEBT. Its Rapid Extinyu ishment. — Treasury Receipts ami Expenditure*. —Extraordi- nary Statement. The first fiscal year ending 30th June, 1866, attests the wonderful resources of the country and its capacity to raise revenue. The cash balances were. on. June 30, 1805 $ 858,309 13 June 30, 1860 130,o6,81> 19 Net gain $129,811,300 04 But this estimate rates the gold on hand at par. At its valve iu currency thb bal ance would overrun $160,000,000. The receipts and expediturcs of t .el rated States for the fiscal year are as follows: RECEIPTS. From customs $179,046,630 64 From public lands 665,031 03 From direct tax > 1,974,764 12 From internal revenue 309,226,81*2 81 From miscellaneous ,55,125,966 46 Total $456,039,195 00 EXPENDITURES.

The war ex penses of the first quarter were $165,000, 000; during the last quarter they had dwin dled to $12,000,000. The expenditures of the War Department during the coining year would be over $240,000,000 less than that of the past year, were it not for the equalization bounties bill. As compared with the fiscal year coding June 30, 1865, we find in the past year an increase of receipts from internal revenue of one hundred millions of dollars, and of cus toms of ninety five millions; while there has been a diminution of expenses for war of over seven hundred and fifty millions, tfnd for the navy of eighty millions. The year ending December 31, 1865, showed ad. fi ciency of six hundred and nineteen millions of Dollars; six months after that time, the year ending June 30. 1866, showed an excess of receipts over expenditures of nearly thirty seven millions of dollars. L. P. Morton & Co. ,s European Circular, has the following remarks upon the reduc tion of the public debt: The statement of the public debt for October Ist, 1866, shows a further reduction in the liabilities of the Government, amoun ting to $23,346,227. During the month of August the total debt was reduced SB7, 416,108; and during the combined months of June and July, $37,189,091. The total reduction during the four months ending September 30, 1*66, thus amounts to $96, 951,426. According to the monthly official returns, the amount of public debt, at the beginning of each month, from October 1, 1865, to October I, 1866, has been as fol lows: 1865. October 1 $2,744,947,726 November 1 2,740, *54,75* December 1 2,714,633,214 1866.

August 1 2,633, October 1 2A73,3.%,941 During the last six months the extraordi nary aggregate of $132,309,575 of debt has been liquidated—a rate of payment which would cxtinquish the whole indebted nessof the Government within nine years. During the last twelve months sl7l, 610,785 of debt has been paid oft—a rate of liquidation which, though not so large as that of the last six months, would yet wipe out the whole debt within fifteen years. This large reduction of debt has been effected through the ordi nary revenues, which have been collected without any symptoms of discontent at taxa tion, and which it would appear, Congress is not likely early to reduce.

October 10. ihe Philadelphia Ledger has received the following important dispatches: WASHINGTON, October 10. lhe President has just sent in to the Attor ney General the following questions and re quested that a response to thetn be returned in writing : Ist. Is the present Congress composed of members from Northern States alone such a Congress us the Constitution requires, or is it an illegal and unconstitutional assemblage ? 2d. would existing circumstances justify the President in sending his next annual mes sage to an illegal and unconstitutional assem blage pretendiug to be the Congress of the Lnited States '( 3d. Does that clause in section fifth of the lirs! article of the Constitution, which makes each House the judge of the election returns and qualifications ot its own members, give to the present Congress the right to exclude the members from teu States, or to impose dishonorable or unconstitutional terms on their admission ? 4th. Does the President's oath of office re quire hun to enforce these provisions of the Constitution which give to each State an equal right of representation in Congress : Article Ist, section od, section 3d, article oth. last clause '( ■>th. What steps does the Constitution and his oath of office require the President to take in order to secure the assemblage of a Constitutional Congress ? Cpon the reply that.may be made by the Attorney General to the above, the President, there is reason to believe, is determined to take his stand, lhe questions put to the At torney General are all the more important when taken in connection with the bold utter ances of the President at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, declaring the present was only an as sumed Congress and not the Congress the Constitution called for, and also similar dec larations, though less pointed, that fell from his hps prior to his return to the capital. From these utterances it is clear the Kxec tUive Ira fully made up his own mind that the AAAIAth Congress was not a legal body. He now asks the opinion of the Attorney General upon this grave and deeply momen- j tous subject and when it is given he will gov ern himself accordingly. | t i H not difficult to oieshadow what the response of Mr. Stans berry will be. That he will chime in fully with the opinions of the Executive as already expressed there seems to be no doubt. FKOfH MEXICO NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 15.

Truth oj the "Lcilger" Dispatch.—The ' Ledger" Correspondent Insists on Its Correctness. —Secret of the Ecedrmrn tat the White. House.—The Questions Made Public Too Soon. PHILADELPHIA, October 12.—Hundreds of private dispatches were received yesterday at the Ledger office from all parts of the country, inquiring in regard to the truth of tlie special published in the morning. The Associated Press, in the afternoon, sent a denial from Washington. Notwithstanding this denial, which you will notice is carefully worded, I have reason to know that the Ledger correspon dent still insists that his dispatch is true in every line, fie is a cautious writer, and yet he sent a dispatch to Philadelphia yesterday asserting that he was willing to risk reputa tion and pro|>orty upon the truth of the story, and ha added that the real secret of the excitement at the White House, and the denial of the President and Attorney General was that the questions were made public too soon; and as the object in view was thereby defeated, it was deemed best to deny the story entirely. I think in a day or two you will find this to be correct. \V. 11. F. FOREIGN NEWS. Purchase of the Island of Miloshy the Uni ted States. General Dix's Appointment. Comments of the French Press.—Lord Stanley's Speech at the Cable Banquet. NEW YORK, October 15. —The Herald's correspondence from Pero, near Constanti uoble, September 19, announces the comple tion of the purchase of the Island of Milos, a most important naval depot iu the Grecian Archipelago, by the United States Govern uient, and details at the same time the posi tive interest which the American people have in the progress and solution of the Eastern question. The news of Gen. Dix's appointment as United States Minister to franco is com mooted on by Paris journals. Some of the writers think that he is charged to take a strong position in support of the Monroe doctrine, as applicable to the Mexican throne, while others say the contrary. Mr. Adams, United States Minister in London, having visited Brussels, some of the Belgian newspapers state that his jour ney was undertaken in reference to the Mexi can question. One thousand pounds weight of gold had arrived in Paris from Costa Rica, taken from the mines. It was conceded to a. French company and worked under the direction of a French General, by President Ca.-tro. The Paris newspapers say that the enter prise of their country in Central America will recompense the country for thofailuie in Mexico. The officers of the United States war stea mer Ticondcrogo, enjoyed a very distin guished reception and marked attentions at the handsofthe Turkish authorities in Con stautinoble. Lord Stanley in his speech at the cable banquet said "I think that England and America are both in a position to gain, mu tually, by fair, temperate cri'icism of on a.iothers proceedings. They have really no hostile, no opposite interests. United they are a match for the world, while a quarrel between them would be a fearful injury, not only to themselves but to the best interests of mankind in general." The Proposed Impeachment of the President. We take the following fiom the Washing ton correspondence of the Worcester Spy : The Cleveland speech of General Butler, accomplishes something,"has "created**" pro found sensation here in administration cir cles. i he question of impeachment begins to as sume form and force. Doubtless to the in mate of the White House the feeling is, take ''any shape but that." The kitchen cabinet and the court organs here imply in no very doubtful phrase, that should the attempt he made, resistance will be the result. The President will plant himself upon the assump tions which he for months past has argued. Congress being illegal and revolutionary—"a body as it were hanging upon the verge of the Government,"—being but a "rump." how can it legally impeach tic Executive? W ill he not be desperate enough to attempt resistance ? Certain it is be listens to some whose antecedents point to their giving such advice. Mr. Johnson is destined in his own person to illustrate how dangerous it is to tamper with the liberties of an aroused and intelli gent democracy. One report which comes to me from a res pectable source, is, that under pretence of reorganizing the army, there is to be a con siderable gathering of troops here this fall. Twelve thousand is the number given. THE SOUTHERN LOYALISTS. Add raw to the. People of the United State*. —the Deputation Dissolved. NKVT YORK, October 13.—A Tribune St. Louis special of yesterday say.-: The Southern Loyalists prepared an address this morning to the people of the Lnited States, before leaving Springfield. They urge the people to insist, in behalf of the true loyalists on still further conditions precedent to the admission of the rebel States than those enu merated in the Constitutional Amendment, because the present State governments of the South are not legal bodies, and therefore cannot legally ratify the amendment. They plead that the people insist that their rep resentatives shall, at the next session, de clare that the present State organizations in the South illegal, and proceed to organize governments based upon the principle of' impartial loyal suffrage. A committee of seven were appointed to keep the subject before the people until the final decision of the reconstruction que-tion in Congress. The Committee consists of Colonel .Mo.-s, of Missouri, President; Governor Hamilton, of T i xas; Bingham, of Alabama; Griffin, of Alabama; Tucker, of Virginia; Eaton, of I clines.see, and lfandolpii, of Louisiana. j'iie loyalists' deputation is now dissolved. Everywhere their pleas for impartial suff ragel have been enthusiastically received, even in the supposed strongholds of conser vatism. In Indiana and Illinois, and every where they have met the most cordial audi ences. Past nnd Piesent. Iho British Foreign Secretary, Lord h . , cy '. u P on recently assuming office in the Mimstry, said that the ''principal object' ot British diplomacy in these _ days was to maintain a good understanding with the united States. Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs said in his late speech at St. Petersburg that, in his official position "all his anxieties" were about the consolidation of friendly relations between Russia and the United States. The trench Government has not expressed itself quite as explicitly as these other two Gov ernments; but, in bis announcement of the withdrawal of his troops from Mexico, iNapolcon referred to his action as an earnest of his desire to maintain amicable relations with the United States. Uuder these cir cumstances it should not be very hard for us henceforth to keep the peace with the nations of Europe. But by what skill and genius _ the Administration managed to maintain the peace with all foreign powers when the conduct and language of so many of them were of an entirely opposite charac ter from what they are at present, will only be known to the reader of history and the student in the archives of the Department of State. THE ROMAN QUESTION. No Hope for Pius the Nuith but in Home with the Italians. Parte Correspondence of (he London limn, Sep tember 26. That some last supreme effort should be made by the friends of the Papacy to keep the French garrison at Rome is only natural and what was expected. Whatever influences may be brought to bear, it is very natural that they should be carried on with great se crecy and entirely independent of oflieial channels. That the Einperor, before he left St. Cloud, received representations from il lustrious personages, concerning the assumed position of Pius IX, after the retirement of the French garrison, there is, I believe, no doubt. Ido not refer to any one at the Vati can, to the Roman government, or the Nun cio who represents the Iloly See at the Ceurt of Napoleon 111. The Pope and his advi sers pietend to be indifferent to the decisions pf the French Government. Cardidal Anto nelli has told the diplomatic body at Rome that, whereas the convention between France and Italy was contracted without consulting the Holy Father, or the Government of the holy Pontiff, Pius the IX., and Rome knew nothing of the transaction, and can hold no oflieial diplomatic correspondence concerning the provisions of the Convention. The same language is held by the Court of Cardinals towards the Government of Italy. All this is very sublime, aud may be very logical; but events will show that the policy of the Papacy towards France and Italy will have injured the influence aud yet further weakened the authority of the Roman Church, so far as her worldly pretensions are concerned. * Rut, so far as any representa tions made to the Emperor at St. Cloud or at Biarritz are concerned, no matter from what quarter, tyj to influencing the resolution of the eldest child of the church, there is, per haps, little lor the Papacy to hope for. The Fltramoutanes have done their all in France. They have excited the French clergy to preach treason from the pulpit, which, however, was speedily and firmly put down by the authori ty of the State. They have intrigued with senators and deputies, and inspired clerical journals to show the necessity of France pro tecting a government which has long damaged the interests of religion and made itself de pendent on foreign bayonets. The Jesuits of our day have not neglected the old instru ment of influence—women. Pretty facesand gentle voices Lave pleaded for the church. Rut the Convention will be executed in De cember. unless political troubles break out in Italy, a> above referred to. The Emperor Napoleon knows, and the Cardinals know, that Pius IX, will be as safe at the Vatican after the retirement of the French garrison as he is now. This was long since arranged with.the leaders of the Roman people. No foreign Powers will be allowed to invade the Itul an peninsula in order to mount guard at St. Aitgdo. fhe Italian Government will preach order in Rome, and respect for the head of the Roman Church. The Antibes men will be treated as the Venetians treated the Austriuns, they will be avoided but not j offended by the Romans. The Pope would ' be safe without them, and their presence is only a perverse practical demonstration in tended to annoy France and Italy, if any disturbance takes [dace iu liome at the close of the year it will be the explosion of a priest ly plot. If the Pope runs away from Rome it will be a comedy of his friends' own com posing, ms was the flight to Gaeta, thedetailsof which are humiliatingly absurd. Reconciliation on the other hand, with Italy would place the head of a Roman Church in a most commanding position just now. The nation has completed its ciuiiiie Ration from foreign occupation with the exceptioa of twelve hundred men from Antibes. The Italians dtsire that their spiritual head should be free, and all good Catholics sigh to witness the church once more exercise its benificent influence over the people —respected and looked to as a social blessing. Reconciliation with Italy at the present moment would relieve the Church from its financial dificulties and endow the Papacy with a revenue far beyond that it ral as v!i e- o- spiritual subjects. Pius lsc, as in l might again find the millions of Italy blessing him with grateful and devoted hearts. All hostility would be disarmed. PinslX., the great and good high priest of of the New Testament—Pius IX., the friend and guardian of the Italian people—the Ital ians wonld exclaim, Ami with thy blessings steal my lance's point. If you - l!v to ascertain the state of pub lic feeling in France you find most men ap plaud the retirement of the French garrison from Rome. I'lie Oriental Question. Am. i i<a and Russia in Ihe East. Under the title of "I.e Spectre Ruf.se," 1 the I'rt.isc of September 27th ridicules the idea that any danger to the European States can arise from the intimate relations which exist at present between the United States of America and the Government of St. Peters burgh. The writer says : "It was thus with the France of Louis XT V. and the Kingdom of Siatii. It was so with modern France and ihe realm of Persia; they pay each other small services, but they are not in a position to help each other effica ciously. Serious and efficient alliances are established and subsist only so long as they serve a common interest and pursue a com mon object, equally useful to the two allies. That betvo n France and tingle j was seri ous. sincere., and efficacious in because the two nations had the same iiu- est in sav ing Constantinople from the Russian domin ion. i hat of 1863 could not renew the loos ened ties, because France was not so ranch concerned to save Denmark as England was. Let any on-international question be cited which the 1 nitrd States and* Russia may have an equal interest in solviug in the same man ner. and then we shall consider the alliance of which m -lunc-ii has been said as serious. J here would still remain to be explained what sort of assistance the two parties would be in a position to lend each other. Who will pre tend that an Americau squadron could have sated Sebastopol, or that the United States would require a single Russian regiment to defend its territory against invasion ? The American Embassy will render the same ser vice to Russia as that oi Siam did to Louis XIV. It will excite imagination, afford a subject, for the newspapers, inspire the Court poets, and leave no more trace than the fire works which have been let off in its honor. As to the Russian power, is it possible when hardiy ten years have elapsed since Crimea that an attempt should be made to set it up as a scarecrow for Europe. The Czar, it is said, will one day command 1,000,000 men. So be it: but K number the sole element of power? How was it that Prussia so easily conquered Austria, which had a population double her own? Austria succumbed because she had neither money, nor credit, nor good administration, nor an organizatian to enable her to make use of her natural advantages, nor union among her populations, nor sym pathy between her Sovereign and his subjects. Area!! these elenicntsofweakness foundtostill greater extent in Russia ? A State which cau only borrow at 50 per cent, is incapable of waging a war of invasion. When Russia shall have restored her finances, re-establish ed her credit, pacified her Polish Provinces, civilized her Russian ones; when her internal means of communication enable her to make use of her populations and transport her mil itary forc. s with facility, accompanied by all the administrative services of a great army, then Russ a may become a subject of disquie tude for liberal Europe."
