SCAIiCE CITANGE
The scarcity l of change is a general coin
,plaint among all classes of business men now
6-days. It is ia fniuter of daily inconvenience.
Ilkah the buyer-awls : eller suffer. In thisße
gion the inconvenience is, perhaps,' greater
than elsewhefe.' The. monthly payments of
the Miners aniilLab'orers are days of mutual
annoyance to bOth the Operators and• the Mi
..ners.:-change, is then indispensable. The
Small Nofe Lew may hecharged as a partial
cause of the trohble in places, where that reg
ulation is resPeeted„but it certainly will not
apply here. pesides the inconvenience isnot
-confined to tidal State— other portions of the
country suffer 'similarly, if not equally with
our Own.- - .
There is,amither and more efficient cause
and one ta! Which all classes are beginning .
to look , with both anxiety and alarm—the
constant eapOrt of specie to fore:ma countries.
Scarcely si'weeic, but we furnish our readers
a list. of 'hundreds of thousands of dollars
leaving our ports tor foreign treasuries. No
,country,. howiter, well supplied with the ne
cessary coin, can hear this unceasing drain
age, wiltiouritiffering to some extent in her
business transactions. The export of late has
become alarining, and in many mercantile
cities much uneasiness is openly manifested
for the result.- r a general crash in monetary
affairs is aoticipated. In Philadelphia, inen
talk about it. every day. and no attempt is
made to disguise what every One conceives
to be an inevitable result.
But why' this' export of specie ? If it be
answered, Free Trade, we,are at once charg
ed with only using the subject politically,
and perhaps, , sbme of our readers are inclined
to-drop the subject at once, and leave us to
oar own speculations—they " understand
the whole thing." But the cause, neverthe
less, remains ,the same—it is Free Trade,
notwithstanding all the gratuitous, compre
hension of the Opposition, and every man
may readily Satisfy himself on this point -by
- the plainest carnmon-Sense logic. Free Trade
admits the productions of foreign countries
into our markets, and our hard earned gains
go to swell : their, coffers, while Protection
prevents this competition, encourages Home
Industry, buys of and supports our bwn
manufacturel,! and necessarily keeps cur spe
sie at Home.. iThe principles of the two doc
trines 'are plain and _easily -comprehended,
-an&-the appropriateness of-the 'Protection
Policy'is similarly applicable to the general
interests of the courier and more particular
ly to the true interests of Pennsylvania. -

The 'ouncils arc bound, by law, to lay an

for the people to suspect that there is some

OOP. JOHNSTON ON THE REPEAL.
The Locofocos are trying to make capital
of Gov. Johnston's delay in Signing the Re-'
prod Act of the last Legislatcire, giving the
use of the State jails for the confinement of
Fugitive Slaves. Their patriotism seems'
wonderfully shocked by the pretended lack of
Whig faith in the Union Ciimpromise. This
exceeding sensitiveness of delicate nerves is
really afflicting, and therefore, to prove tali
sympathy, we shall endeavor to administer
the proper remedy by probing the extent of
the disease --we have, however, no fears of
its proving fatal.

Nothing could be more absurd, or more
ridiculous, when all the facts are exposed:
than to charge the Whigs with any lack of
loyalty to the Union, . Throughout the entire
agitation of the recent troublesof the country,
their sentiments and measures have invariat
bly contradicted such an insinuation, and
most of the , prominent leaders of the party
have been conspicuous advocates ofthe Coin-
• promise.
Su far as the respective resolutions of the.:
two parties, in Pennsylvania, go to manifest i
I their patriotism, the Whigs have an equal, !
1 if not decidedly superior claim to being the ;

friendly frelings 'which the soushina of prosperity

brethren of the •leNe hal- country's hope has never
dill stales. been dimmed by Its ac
.lion or Council. •
' In Gov. Johnston's Lancaster speech, an
abstract of whiCh we published last week,
the Cotnpromise, measures were frankly and
fairly discussed-.4 ---, ,There was no equivocation
or '. shirking "'the question, and we have no
doubt his sentiments on the Fugitive Slave
Law will meet the cordial: approbation of
nine-tenths of the people of Pennsylvania.—,
He spoke as an honest man, conscious of do
ing right and determined to persist in it, not
withstanding the quibblei of his trucklingop
poneuts. 'His address throughout was perti- i
cent and plain, and evidently delivered with
a candor and sincerity that do credit to po
-1 litical speeches now-a-days.
AS to the Repeal Act, the truth is simply
this : —The Com promise measures were prob
ably the best i that could have been adopted at
the time, under-all the circumstances. But
, the Fugitive Slave Law contains some ob
jectionable features—particularly repugnant
to Northern feelings, quite as much so as the
1 Wilmot Proviso to the South. The language,
for instance, compelling the citizens to assist
in arresting fugitives, is not only harsh •to
Pennsylvania feelings, but the provision it- '
Self totally superfluous. The laws already
in existence explicitly require every citizen
I to assist, if necessary, in their enforcement,
land he is moreover rendered liable to prose
cution in failing to return another to the
proper authorities, for any violation of legis
-1 lative regulations. Many excellent and law-
;abiding citizens of Pennsylvania are pgrfedt-
Iv wilting that the laws should be executed
1 —they would not throw tile slightest obsta
i clein the way, and -yet, if called upOn to lay
Ihold of and arrest a Fugitive- Slave.in their
midst, it must be confessed, they would obey
with much reluctance. if they did not prompt-
I lv refuse alibgether. It was on this account
—this superfluous and obnoxious dictation of
I a well-known duty—that our worthy Sena
tor, Hon. James Cooper and our Representa-
I Live Chas. W. Pitman, faithftil to the respect
due the feelings and natural prejudices of '
I their constituents, voted against the Fugitive
Slade Latvia Congress, although helirtily sup-
porting every other measure of the Compio
-1 mise, knowing that it needed pruning of sev-
I eral features, before it could be entirely pala
-1
I table in Pennsylvania. Such amendments
will assuredly he made, as soon as the public
I mind becomes sufficiently calm on this sub
! ject. Had all the Compromise measures been
presented in one Bill, Messrs. Cooper and
Pitman would have undoubtedly voted in
'their favor, but as an opportunity of discrim
ination occured, they manifested their sense, of
propriety and regard for the sentiments of
I their constituents, by making a very proper
distinction.
NoW this is precisely the ground assumed
by G_ovJohuston. -.He expressed just such
views in his message at the opening of the
'Legislative session. The Locofocos, knotv- .
ing this, go to work in the last hours of the
1 session and repeal a portion of the Act of '47,
i upon which he had plainly expressed him=
self, and leave the Bill for his signature, that
he may eat his own words and they may
have the gratification of branding him with
inconsistency. The Legislature has adjourn
ed, and therefore using the right, guaranteed
him by the Constitution, he reserves his sig
nature till. he shall have an: opportunity of
accompanying it with sotne explanatory re
marks ; for-whether he signs it or iefuses,
an explanation will be indispensable. He
therefore wisely and justly waits the open
ing of the next Legislative session.
Here the motives of the two parties con
trast .in bold relief. Gov. Johnston, while
true to the conamon interests of the whole
country, paying every required deference io
Ithe Compromise measures and determined to
give them his manly support so long as they
have the authority of laws, is nevertheless,
mindful of those principles which every Penn
sylvanian is proud of,' and using a proper
discrimination, he is unwilling to sacrifice
any acknost lodged principle of the State faith,
so long as it dom not conflict with the Con
stituiion and Laws. of the country. On the
other band, the Locofocos looking to Buch
anan as their, most prominent candidate-for
the next Presidency, know that ,the AcC of
'47 is somewhat obnoxious to the South, and
in order.to‘ better ' , Ten Cent Jimmy's; pros
pects,they niust be reconciled. They therefore
repeal a portion of it, intrinsically of nolo',
portance, and try to. guzzle it down the throat
of a Whig Governor, contrary to his express
ed sentiments and in opposition to the votes
of some of the State's best Congressional Re
presentatives. Wliat impudent presumption!
But the Buchananiteiwere bent on popular
ity, it mattered not at., what sacrifice=the
Sobth must be bought'. and this Fugitive
Slave Law was the very coin to do it with.
But why should the triefide.of Col. !Oiler
be clamorous about this matter ? The Act
of 1847 teas voted for by Bigler'and signed by
Francis R. Shunk—the very Act, a part of
which they are now hooting and shouting at
Gpv. Johnston to repeal! This is more than,the program m e promised—a part of the mi.'.
nceuvres the party seems to have forgotten to
provide for :. and until thltt is explained''. : and
also Col. t ‘ iligter!is vote in' the State Senate in
favor of the Wilmot Proviso, we have no fears
but the people will suffer JohnstonW go Scot
free for hia share in this last act of the drama.

position of the Buchananites and the triads
of Bigler, we append an article from the

THE WHIG TICKET.
• The Harrisburg .4rnerican .closes a highly
complimentary article upon the Whig nomi•
nations, with the following remarks:
• The persons on the Whig ticket have been
well selected with regard to localities. Wes
tern Penniylvania has the Governor and one
Supreme Judge. Eastern Pennsylvania has
the Canal Cmmissioner and one Supreme
Judge. Nothern and North Eastern Pennsyl-•
vanta has two Supreme Judges, Comly and
Jessup, while the Hon. George Chambers re
sides in the Southern part of the State.
The Whi g s have reason to be proud of
their ticket. Unlike those on the opposition
ticket,,uot a single man of the Whig nomi
nees solicited a nomination. Honors have
been conferred upon them by their fellow
citizens, but I they have not run after them.
The high honor of a nomination has' not
been sullied by a single act of personal deg-
radation. •

SAINT PALL.
MINE3OTA TERRITORY, June 18th, 1851
Dear • Sir:. On Friday evening last we
took passage up , the " Father of Rivers" on
the Steamboat Dr. Franklin, at Galena, and
arrived in this town on Monday morning,
at 8 o'clock—distance by the river about 500
miles. Saint Paul is a beautiful town, situ
ate on two broad benches of land, the lowest
of which is about . fiftv feet above the high
water mark of the Mississippi river, which
flows past the town in an East by North di
rection, until it strikes the Bluff one mile be
low the lower lauding, when its current is
deflected to the South. The town site is I
flanked by beautiful bluffs, from which issue
springs of the coldest and purest water.—
Nature has done, much for this place, and
Saint Paul is, no doubt destined. to become ;
an important city. Two years ago it con- I
tained only six log"cabins, now it contains a I
large 'number of fine frame anct_kick build-1
ings, end quite a number of new dwelling
houses are being erected this summer. Saint
Paul is the Seat of Justice of Ramsey coun
ty,
and the Capitol of the Territory,—num
ber of inhabitants 2,500 and daily increasing.
It contains already five Churches—Metho
dist,
Presbyterian, - Episcopalian, Baptist and
Catholic. Also, two weekly' newspapers,
the " Pioneer" and the " Democrat," and a
monthly 'lndian print, called the " Dakota'
Friend.' Another weekly newspaper will
be established ere lung, which will support
Wliig principles.
SAINT ANTHONY, town No. 2in Mineso
ta, eight miles from Saint Paul, and on the
east side of the Mississippi river, is laid out'
opposite and above the 'Falls, and is quite a •
handsome town. It is bitilt on a large and
beautiful., prairie, extends about a mile up
and down the river, contains maily suhstan- I
tial dwellings of frame, and quite a number
of new buildings are going up this season—
population
about 1000, with a rapid increase.
There are two ,fine Churches' in this place—
Episcopal and Baptist. The Catholics are
also making preparations to erect a Chapel.
" St. Anthony Barren," an excellent Whig
paper, is the only journal published here. r --
Two years ago Saint Anthony contained
only a few log cabins. It also, will becorne
a large town and actjve business place.
The Falls descend 17 feet on one side of
the river, and eighteen and a-half on the oth
er. About a mile above, there is a sudden
bend in the river, nod near a half-mile from
this point commence the rapidafrom whence
to the precipice' there is a fall of 28 feet,
making a total fall of 45 feet.
The river is divided by two Islands which
lie near the East shore. In a North-east di
rection is an extensive and beautiful prairie,
extending for,some miles North and South,
and skirted by hills on :insides. Among these
bills (or Wounds) are a number of beautiful
Lakes fed by springs, forming a lovely con—
trast-to the hills which surround them. The
country around the Falls abounds in lime
stone rock, which forms the basis of nearly
all Bluffs and Mounds in this vicinity. The
water is highly impregnated with lime and
slightly, with iron. _ _
STILLWATER is situated on river St. Croix,
about 18 miles North-east of Saint Paul, and
receives its name from the circumstance that
the current from the said river is no longer
perceptible at this place, It is quite a hand
some village, containing about 800 inhabi
tants, several fine churches, and is a great
lumbering place. Stillwater is the seat of
Justice of Washington county, and the Land
Office for the Chippewa District is located
here. A number of other towns andvillages
are scattered through the Terrttory.
AIINESOTA is about four times as large as
Pennsylvania, and contains a vast body of the
richest kind of soil. , The climate is said to
be exceedingly healthy. The white popula
tion of the territory numbers about 10,000
souls, and that of the Indians and half-breeds
about 25,000. The land is being settled rap
idly, and farmeis are doing a profitable busi
ness, as they get high prices for every thing
they raise.
Gov. RAMsEY has taken hold of the place
himself.'; He is rather extensively engaged
in farming. On his fine farm, a few .miles
from this place, he has sown this Spring 160
acres with oats, and expects to realize 6000
bushels.
The Governor is very popular here with
the people nf all partie6. He is alWays to
be found at his post, discharging the duties
of his office with energy and fidelity. As
superintendent of Indian affairs, his duties
are exceedingly arduous, on account of cc
casional outbreaks and frequent threatenings
of war among the different tribes of hostile
Red-men. He-has Mien prevented blood-shed
by adopting prompt and energetic measures
in time. Higher honors await Alexander
Ramsey.
There is plenty of room left'for a few more
farmers in ,Minevota— One of the papers in
this place, advertises for 100' able-bodied
Lawyers, to break up prairie ground, and
requests easternjournals to copy.
The crops of small grain throughout the
western States,, look very promising.
In making our tour to the west, and pass
ing through Kentucky, wepaid a visit to the
Patriot and Sage, at "Ashland"—found him
at home, and spent an hour or more with
him. His farm 15 situated about 1 f miles
from the city of Lexington, and has been his
residence during the last 40 years. It contains
between 500 to 600 acres, and is of the
the richest quality of table land. being a ve
getable loam, embedded with clay, and un
derlaid with limeitone. About 400 acres
thereof are cleared and divided into 10 fields
and 4 lots. The quantity of land under cul
tivation, is as follows: Hemp6oacres, Corn
110 acres, and data, wheat - and - barley, 150
acres. About 60 acres are, in meadows, 20
in lawns, gardens,' pleasure grounds, &c.--
The balance is Woodland, mostly covered
with the finest White Ash trees, the under
growths being carefully removed and set in
fine blue grass for grazing stock. His stock
consists, in part of 37 heads of Ile most
valdable horses end colts, about one half of
them blooded, and a panther. of choice milch
cows, 6rc. Thus it will be observed that
HENRY CLAY is quite an extensive farmer,
the firm being under his own supervision.
His Mansion house is quite a plain, republi
can Wilding, and his'farni tore corresponding
thereivith. It is ,certainly one of the most
desirable faims in the Union. May the old
patriot and distinguished statesman, yet for a
long serious of years, live to enjoy his de
lightful home ! .

week I gave you some notes of enkaregren
as far as Boston, including a sketch of Sisson
Common, and now will continue my sketch
es. From the Common we went to View
the State House, situated on an eminence:di
rectly fronting the Common. After tecord=r,
big our names as - visiters, we ascended the
towering cupola, by a winding staircase to
top, an altitude of 230 feet above .the
level of the sea, from which lofty eminence
we had a commanding view of Ilostan - and
its numerous surrounding towns, together
With its harbors, rivers; shipping—radroad
tracks branching out into almost every direc
tion, and last but not least, we had a beauti
ful view of the Bunker Hill Monument,
which is a plain :'obelisk built of granite
blocks, and measures 221 - feet from the
ground to the apex, and has a.winding, or I
rather spiral stairway. from the bottom to
the top. There it stands inaletnn grandeur, ,
verifying the elm/tient burstof patriotic feel
ing of the great Daniel Webster, at the lay
ing of the corner stone, in DM, "Let it rise
till it meet the sun in his - coming; let the
earliest light of Me morning gild it, and part

Boston, with' the surrounding neighborhood.
t
has any mementos of the struggle for In
depe dace. Whatever may be said of the
erran course of some of her citizens on topics
of excitement at the present day, so long' s
Bunker Hill remains an eminence, and Lex
, ington and Concord have a name and a place,
1 the noble daring, l the unwavering determi
nation and the sacrificing devotion of the in'
habitaats of Massachnsetts, in the opening
-1 out of the first chapter of that great drama
of human events/. the American Revolution,
will not, cannot be forgotten, and as time
rolls the date of those events still faither into
1 the diStance, the- mind will linger with in
,
!creasing interest around the birth-place of
1 those principles, which, in their onward
march are shaking the thrones of Kings and
inspiring mankind with hope and freedom.
Boston, as you'are aware, is built on a
neck or peninsula. of land, nearly surrouodeiri
by water—consequently the city cannot ex- 1
tend its area without encroaching on the I
rights of the old Ocean, which, in many in -1
stances the avaricious citizens have made no
more 'scruple of doing, by driving piles and
filling up and building thereon, than they
would evince in rescuing a captured fugitive
slave.. Many of the merchants and business
men, live from 5 to 20 miles out of the city,
but the numerous trains of cars running in
almost every direction, afford facilities for
I going to of returning from the city at almost
!every hour of the day, thus a merchant can
take his breakfast at home with his family,
20 miles away'. "from his place of business,
I then take the cart) and be at his store in good
I season, and aftetlthe business of , the day is
over again return to his home by the same
I conveyance; and live cheaper, including his
1 tare, and much pleasanter than if i cooped up
!in the city. I had almost forgotten to men
! tion the introduction of the Cochiftiate water
into the city as the accomplishment of a
great work. Hating no natural elevation in
or near the city, of sufficient height to form
1 a reservoir, they have built of massive
granite, on the the eminence near the State
house ' an artificial reservoir, sufficiently
I high to answer all the necessary purposes.
We left by the Boston and Maineilailroad,
for Portland, at 12 o'clock, and passesl through
numerous beautiful towns, the great majority
of which were manufacturing towns, among
1 them is New Market, whose fabrics are so
! well known by every good house-wife, and
Dover, the earliest settled town in New
Hampshire, where the extensive Cocheco
Imanufacturing establishment is ideated, the
reputation of whose beautiful prints is too i
well established to need commendation, for I
almost every girl of "sweet sixteen" knows
they won't:" wash out." We arrived in Port
land, at 51 o'clock, which is a beautiful city,
situated on the Portland Harbor, formerly '
called "Casco Bay." It is favorably situated
for Commerce, having a spacious harbor and
easy of access, and is rapidly growing. The
eastern railways and contemplated connection
Iwith Halifax, thence by steamships to Gal
way and Liverpool, have given it an impetus
daily manifesting itself. We left Portland
on the York and Cumberland' Railroad, to
Gorham, where the celebrated "Gorham Fe
male Seminary" is located, and six miles
from Standish. Thus we have travelled
over a distance of 550 miles in less time than
it took 25 years ago, to go in the "Fast line"
of Stages, from- Philadelphia to Pottsville,
and without a tithe of its inconvenience. At
almost every "station" or depot along the
road, is a room neatly fitted up as a refectory
where all kinds of cakes, pies, nut's, fruits,
confectionery, mineral water, hot tea and
coffee, etc., can be had at fair prices, which
add smuch to the pleasures of travelling. s --.
Maine does not depend on the cultivation of
her soil for bread. The climate and soil are
not adapted to the culture of wheat, though
corn, potatoes, and other summer crops do
well. Her fisheries and her forests afford the
materials for commerce, which they exchange
for such articles of consumptiOn as thiy need.
The interior of the State abounds with some
of the noblest Pines found anywhere in the
United States. Lumbermen living on large
streams, such as the Saco, the Keonebeck,
the Andri.scoggin, and other large streams,
go during the winter season, with one-or
more yoke of oten, well provided with im-,
pliments, provisions, Sze, into the interior
of the State, and cut and drag saw-logs on
the Ice of the frozen stream—each log is
marked with tfie owner's• name. In the
Spring when the snow melts and the ice
breaks up, the logs float down stream. At
the different mills booms are stretched across,
which stop the 'logs, and enable the owner
to 'select his own and secure them, and per
mit
the rest to pass. When a boom breaks
from the tremeridoils press of logs above, or
from some other cause , the owner follows his I
logs t the next boom, and so on until hel
finds It market for them. Here you see on
the road to market, large fonds'of hoops,
Staves and head, rounded and fitted together.
These staves are shaved, fitted, and tied
together in bundles, called "shook." Each ,
bundle is just enough for one hogshead.—
These are shipped to the South and sold to
the planters for molasses hogsheads, and no
doubt much of the molasses brought to Potts
ville is contained in hogsheads that were cut
and shaved "away down' east" by some
shrewd specimen of a Yankee, who, while
busy with his tools, was "calculatin" the
number of "shillins" his pockets would be
lined with when returning from Portland
after selling hielumber.
But my sheet is full, and I must close,

A GREAT GAME OF CHESS
The Cincinnati Nonpareil, says :—Mr. Lo

player, left his home? in this city a few days
since for London. 'He goes to attend the
grand chess tournament to take place in that
city, some time nexLmonth. and at which
nearly all the great chess players in the
world will attend. The game is to be play
ed for a purse of £5OOO, [about 825,000,1
which has been made up for the occasion by
a few English nentlemen. The plan is, for
thirty-two of the best players to begin six
teen.games simultaneously, and at the close
of which the sixteen beaten players retire
from the contest. Eight games will then
be played, at the 'close of which there will
yet remain eight players who have not been
beaten. These play four more games, after
which the four remaining players pair off for
two other games, and then the trial game is
had between the two remaining players.—
The man who comes off victorious in the
game, receives the purse, and is crowned the
king player of the world. Mr. Lowenthral,
has gone to try for the crown and the purse.

THE COAL TRADE FOR 1851.
, .
As oar paper Roes to press a day In advance, wr
could not receive the shipments for this week entire.
We would therefore merely remark that the quantity
sent from this Region will be about the mime as was
Sera last week. On, Impreselon le that there will be
an inereape by Canal of about 200 tone, and probably .
some falling off by Railroad,.
The demand for Lump and - Chesnut Coal to arty
good, particularly for the latter; and the price has ad
vanced from 10 to Ifficents per ton The price of other
kinds of Coal is firm, with an upward tendency. It
is now evident that the weekly shipments of Coal
fromthe different Regions, cannot he touch increased,
owing to the scarcity of Boats. It is true that the
supply could be Increased by Railroad, but ao far •ea
sels have been so scarce at Richmond, that a greater
number than Is requiredro send off the present week
ly juantliy sent to that point, could not be obtained:
The Schuylkill Navigation Company has given
notice that the tolls will be increased to 40 cents per
ton from Port Carbon to Philadelphia, on and after
the 17th inac. There is also a proportionate increase
on the line of Canal. We think the advance has been
made a little too early, but the Company is under the
impression that all the Boats that be procured,
will have full employment at the advance of toll.•
The Fourth of July coming on Friday, consequently
but little work will be done on Saturday. The ship
ments nest week will be light 'from all the Region..
Vessels continue seaece at Itichutond, a ad the rates
of freight to the East remain the game as quoted last

TILE PAPAL DOMINION
The letter of our correspondent at Rome
narrates certain movements of the French '
general, which may have very important re
sults, and which, whatever may be the issue,
indiCate a state of things which must be
painfully humiliating to the Papal Govern- -
mem. Rome is now essentially, and has
been ever since the Pope's return, a depend
eucy of the French Republic. Pius IX. has
no real power in the Eternal City. The at
tributes of sovereignty are not his: he is
scarcely permitted to cover himself with their
semblance, and when enGeneral Gemeau choos
es to wear the robe of authority, he takes it
from the shoulders'of the' Pope without say
ing so much as—" By leave of your holiness. '
Pius IX. has no subjects; the Roman people
are the subjects of the 'French armed band.-,
He has no army and no commmand, General
Gemeau sends the Roman troops witherso
ever he will,andio-show his absolute power,,
not only commands the Roman soldiers to
leave the ci, in defiance of the earnest
wishes of gm Pope and, his Cabinet, but
marches t m out unarmed,. with French
cannon an armed trooriS in their rear, like
prisoners f war driven forth from a conquer
ed city. - .
Verilye picture is painful from iti ex
cessive hu
‘
iliation—from its contrail with
former titn s. We need not disavow . sym
pathy with e Roman Pontiff, either .tn his
spiritual or t poral character ; yet Ain im
possible to 100 uponithe entire extinction of
a great power % t emotion'—to see a
mighty potentate mocked and insulted in his
own citadel, without being able even to lift a •
finger. almost without Courage to utter a re
monstrance, against 'the proceeding. Such
is the actual condition of the present Pope—
fleeing from his own people, and,restored to
dominion over them by a nation which had
itself forced its king to Hee,,and had repudia- -
led the political principles on wtiir4 the Pope
had governed. Restbred to his capital, sus
tained there only by foreign soldiers, hired to
him only on the understanding that his gov
ernment should hereafter be milder and more
liberal, he who was weak enough to escape
in disguise at the first lowering of the storm,
was now vindictive enough' to revenge him
self upon those whom tie had not courage to
withstand and impolitic enough to recom
mence his ostensible sovereignty unmodified
in its tyranny ; to re-open the 'Prisonti and
the Inquisitions, only to fill them with those
who could not imitate his example of fleeing
when the tables were turned against them
through the intervention of a foreign army.
Never, surely, did sovereign •and his ad
visers commit a greater. error. The presence
of the French army in the citadel of the Papal
dominions -was a living, tangible,,irrefutable
evidence thdt the Pope and his Cardinals oc
cupied the Vatican on suffrance only—by the
permission of a foieign armed power,adverse
to the will and desire of the people. Having
before him this standiug proof ofthe estrange
ment of his late -subjects, the Pope, even
without the posession of infallible wisdom,
ought to have seen the necessity of concilia-,
lion ; and acting in the spirit worthy of a
Christian monarch—of which his holiness
ought to be an eminent and faultless illustra
tion—should have won them back to• their
allegiance by the mildnees of his temporal
sway. Ordinary sagacity would have appriz
ed him, one would; think, that vindictive
Cruelty and an iron rule blended with the re
newed horrors of the Inquisition, would nat
urally further, estrange the people, and make
him more and more dependent upon the'
French army ; and he might have foreseen
other results also, such as those depicted by
our correspondent.
The persevering determination to crush the
, people—to " teach them a lesson," in famil
iar phraseology—might possibly , have an
swered had the Pope by his own might, - by
his owu prowess and courage, and the attn.
butes of his own character and position, re
covered the pontificial throne and subdued
the insurrectionists. But this was not so ;
nor Without the continued presence of the
power that reinstated him dare to remain in
the posession of his restored authority. Here
then, was an additional reason for liberal and
conciliatory government. The Roman peo
ple must indeed be lacking in intelligence if
they did not thiproughly comprehend the ac
tual position of affairs, and readily perceive
that the courage of Pius IX, as sovereign,
vegetated only under the shadow of the
French army. Thit army would therefore
share in their hatted if the rule of his Holi
ness was cruel add 'oppressive, and therefore
sooner or later a conflict of some kind would
19•(f
occur between the two only real-potentates,
the Roinan people and the French army, in
which be and his Cardinals would be of no
account—would be treated as though they
were not ; would neither be consulted nor
regarded ; would appear in their real instead
of their ostensible positions—as nonentities,
so far as they were- politically considered.
To this condition of things events are rap.
idly and surely tending. The Roman people
have learned that they are governed' by the
French army and not by Pius I%,ancl against
them are their angry passions excited
,; while
the French general commanding. conscious
that he and not the Vatican is master of the
city, equiilly excludes the Pope and Cardinals
from .his calculations and operatioris. °Hence
while an organiz;ed and recognized Roman
government exists—while the Pope and his
Cabinet are holding councils at the Vatican,
and ostensibly administering all the affairs of
State under a Ministry for each 'department—
General Gemenu instructs his soldiers to dis
regard the laws of the State, and Settle all
the difficulties with the people by a direct
conflict - 1' orders a batallion ufßoman soldiers,
to leave the.. city, treats- with contempt the
earnest remonstrance of the Ministerof War,
and overawing both soldiers and people at
the expense of the deepest possible scorn and
humiliation to the ostensible • authorities,
drives them un a rmed for seven matte before
French cannon, without deigning to apprise
them of their destination ; and then, lest
all this should not yet be understood by
UP only party about whom he cares a whit
—the Roman people—he issues a ytoclama
tion, direct from himself, and without the
slightest reference to any otherruling power,
containing a prohibition affecting one of the
commonest, social and municipal rights of
the people.
To thispooh) t matters have come. The
power before which ittighty Abrams and
teeming nations huge once trembled and
hOwed down is most decidedly :in abeyance.
The Pope holds his office by commission, and
is made to feel it and to confess it before the
world •, and that commission is conferred by
a republican government. The agent of the
power that placed it in commission has
thrown aside all diiguise, nod virtuallymade
public proclamation that the Pope's power
and authority can at any time be set:aside
and set at naught, by the general- wholuip
pens to be commanding the French troops tu
Rome And yet this very Pope hymn:tie
sion, who in Rome submits, because he cut
not help himself, to be treated as a cypher
by the French general,is makMgrnagmecittit
pretensions to authority and f!ower at,* die,.
tone from home. 01 mime-, the 'dispute
the Eternal City cannot rest - where it tl9,
'less, as a pretended sovereign- power - , - this
Pontificite.ts content.to be : the atopecemetup,
tible of all contemptible petty sovermisities..
