Tho Boats being in Committee of the Whole on tho State of tho Union, and having under consideration tho hill to supply tho defieieney of appropriations for tho year ending Juno 80, Mr. LEVIN said: Mr. Chairman I have been so often misrepresented by the paid agents of the Jesuits who hang around this Hull, and who swarm over onr land, that'I have come prepared to-day. I was surprised to find in the MU now before the committee an appropria tion for a charge-ship to Rome, and still more surprised when my friend, the honorable gen tleman from Alabama, informed me teat he in tended to move an amendment, substituting in Its stead a minister plenipotentiary. An em- bassay to Rome I had supposed to be the pet mrasure of the President of tho United States. Sympathy with Pope Pins IX appears to be the hobby-horse of political loaders. O'Connell, tho Irish reformer, is deed. The curtain has fallen upon that last act of tbe national force, and now ttie Pope, an Italian reformer, steps upon the stage to conclude what O'Connell left unfinished. The hurrah has gone through the coantry; pnblio meetings have been held; sympathy for the Pope has grown almost into a fashion; yet, sir, in no legitimate sense earn this embassy to Romo be called a national measure, intended for the publie benefit. We have no commerce to protect in the Roman States; we have no seamen whose rights may need even the supervision of n Government agent or eon sol; we have no navy riding in her only harbor; we have no interests that may he exposed to jpdy fbr want of an ambassador, e Papal flag has never been known to wave in an American pot. No American ves sel has received the visit of a Pope. Dwelling under the shadow of the rains of antiquity, they have never disturbed ns save by the bulls of Pope Gregory-and the intrigues of his Jesuits. What, then, has produced this sudden revolu tion in the concerns of the two countries ? Wo axe told that Pius the 9th fa a reformer. In deed ! In what sense fa he a reformer? Has he divested himself of any of bis absolute pre rogatives ? Has heeastoff his claims to infal libility ? Has he flung aside his triple crown ? Has he diminished aught from the imperial ele vation of the tiara. And does he no longer hold in bondage the bodies and sonls of his subjects ? Has.he become a republican? Does he ao< knowledge the inherent equality of mankind ? Has he abolished tithes ? Has he emancipated his people ? Has he suppressed the Jesuits ?— Far from it. Nothing of this has been done.— He maintains his own prerogatives as absolute as Gregory the 19th, or any other of his illnstri- In what, then, does the world give Urn credit for beings reformer ?— For building np on a new and firmer foundation his own secular and hierarchical power; for permitting a press to he established in Rome under his own supervision and control; for car rying out measures not to be censured, but cer- o pretentions beyond that of selfish sagacity, intent on the study of all means calculated to add stability to fafa spiritual power, and firmness to his temporal tonne.

The edifice remains entire ; it is supported by the same gothio columns of midoral ignorance and superstition. He may polish an architrave—be may repair a broken step leading to tho vestibule, or suspend a new wreath around the altar, or add an ivory cruci fix, or even lay a railway into the capital of the Caesars, bnt the Popal system remains entire, unaltered, unimproved—the same stern tyran ny. tbe same inflexible compound of earthly and celestial despotism. Tet the man who fa Pope fa not a Csesar-Borgia- Pins is not as a man so narrow and contracted as Gregory. Pius understands human nature, and knows how to render the Papal system popular by wreathing chains with rose blossoms. Perhaps the ele ments mix more gently in his bosom. Bnt all this eonld not make the Papal system less odious. It was said of Augustus, the first Roman Em peror, that he made tyranny so beantifhl by his amiable character as to destroy in the Ro man people the love of liberty. Flo* is now doing more than Augustus, for he is reconciling the world to the concentrated despotism of tbe most iron-handed hierarchy that ever flourish ed. ‘ If Rome will not come to America, America must go to Rome t This is the new doctrine of an age of retrogressive progress. If the Pope will not establish a republic for his Italian sub jects, we, the American people, must renounce all the ties of our glorious freedom, and endorse tiie Papal system as the perfection of human wisdom, by sending an ambassador to Rome to congratulate "His Holiness” on having made —what? The Roman people free? Oh! no; but on having made tyranny amiable; in hav ing sugared the poisoned cake. And for this, the highest crime against freedom, we are to commission an ambassador to Rome! Is there an American heart that does not recoil from the ntter degradation of the scheme? When nations profess to assimilate on princi ples of amity* and to draw closer the ties of good will, it is on the ground of a common cause—equally dear to both—either of freedom or of absolute power, although not repnbliean, tbe proposal to send an ambassador to preserve principles common to both Governments, and equally dear to the people of both countries, would rest on a different foundation. In that case we should have congenial interests to pre serve; in that case we should bo co-operating in the common cause of human rights. But now we exhibit to the world the spectacle of a pure antagonism in onr system of government to that of Rome—the one maintaining liberty of conscience and the sovereignty of toe freely expressed popular will; tbe other claiming the control of conscience, and the combination of priestly and political supremacy by divine right. Two systems more opposite could not exist When liberty makes concessions totyr anny, which party gains by it? Not freedom— not the cause of human rights. Despotism thrives by it We lend encouragement to a system of government at open war with the happiness of mankind; we become the patrons of an absolute monarch; we tell him to “scouga on, scourge on."

As a free and civilised Government, anxious for the continued progress ofthe popular mind, we had infinitely more reason for applauding Gregory the 19th for polling down toe power of the Roman See, than sending an embassy to Pius toe 9th for having revived the drooping giant, and imparted fresh energy to the most despotic power toe world has ever seen cr felt Why was no ambassador sent to Gregory?— Why is an ambassador sent to Pins ? Not be cause toe interests of this country required it And who believes it is beeanse of toe landed liberality of one who seems ambitions of toe renown of a man oftheage? Who belives It fa beeanse Pins encourages railways; for what axe Roman railways to ns? We have a more rational though less pleasing solution of this wonderful and newly awakened sympathy for Some in tin increase of the Roman Catbolie vote, caused by the Irish famine and the diffi culty- of living in the German States, which sends among ns sack countless legions of for- bfa predecessors, who, by -history pregnant with-toe most eventful conse- And what must be the occupation of the American Ambassador when be reaches Rome ? Will he devote his attention to too increase of thfasnpply of alien voters, nr to toe interests of too United States in toe cabinets of continental Europe ? Having no commercial or political duties! to perform, save those connected with the American ballet-box, he must keep np toe ly of voters who are to be ridiculously lo- 1 by the legato of the Pope. And who so bio oftofa great diplomatic duty as toe man has so industriously agitated this sympa thy for Rome, to gratify ius inordinate and gigantic ambition; who, for yean past, has been toe dictator, toe trader, and toe pander ofthe foreign Roman Catholic vote; who one minute acts toe priest and the next day plays toe politician; who would have too world to believe that be fa greater toon the President of tbe United States, because he fa toe power be hind toe throne who moves too President; who would have the world believe that, beeanse beflattenthe American people by a sermon from tbe national forum, that be fa the main- ng of toe American Congress ? Combining character of priest and politician, allowed to toe ministers of no other seet, this ambitions demagogue, taking for his motto that “impu dence is power,” has dared to display an ex tent of audacity never before practiced and never before allowed to any other clergyman.— This embassy, and all the public turmoil that has led to its suggestion, is the work of an in triguing, restless, grasping, and ambitions priest, who fans in bis bosom too nefarious hope that he fa himself to be the destined organ be tween a free republic and an abtolute hierarch.* It is not enough that be should draw ns into the vortex of European tyranny, superstition, and^corrnption, but must he also dream of the vast honor of contaminating in hfa own person this revolting alliance between toe crimes of 0t end the purity of yonthftil inno cence ? For wfaat, after all, has this popular Pope done, bnt oiled the chains of bis people that they might never have power to break them asnnder? What are all his reforms bnt gilded thraldom, and slaveiy made eternal by modern rivets forged in toe fires of that “pro gress” which serves equally to gloss the schemes of tyrants and the projects of imbecility; which can bo used with « much plausibility by the mrcb-tyrant, who understands how to enslave men through their passions 'and imaginations, as the political empiric wbo T disguises hfa own ignorance by prating of the march of mind; whose tongue discourses of benevolence, while *hls iron hand fa armed with the power of op pression? I ask, has Pins IX abolished tithes ? Has he granted Universal suffrage, or any suffrage, to bis Papal subjects ? Has be established a re presentative government ? Has he introduced trial by jury ? Hat he granted the writ of ha beas corpus? Hat he abolished the college of cardinals? Has be established common schools? Hsfhestrack down toe power of toe confes sional ? Has he repealed the demoralising edict of eetibntey ? Has he thrown open the gates of the monastery, or unbarred tbe iron bolts of tbe convent? Has he separated church power from state authority? Hash© abolished toot pest- qnences to the world. It is not a common oc cation. No ordinary impulse moves that great machinery of Papal power, whose wheels ere oiled by toe adnlation of Jesuit Priests on the one hand, and demagogues on toe other. Not only is Rome coming into a new epoch, bnt the United States fa also beginning a new era. Why we have never before had an ambassador at Rome, fa answered by tbe prompt reply that Rome never before bad a Pious IX on the Pa pal throne! We have nothing, then, to justify this projected innovation bnt too modern char acter of the new Pope. Embassies once open ed are never closed. We cannot compliment Pins by an embassy, therefore, for even after hfa death it mnst be continned. We compli ment the Papal system of government by send ing an ambassador, haring no commercial in terests to settle, or political relations to adjust. Nor is it possible to compliment Pins without complimenting his system of government, for he has as a liberal reformer made no funda mental alterations in it. We are therefore to compliment him on hfa modified manner of administering a system radically at war with the rights of man, pernicious in itself, and dan gerons In every form it may assume, and under every modification that individual genius may venture to adopt as a covering to its deformity. We have sympathised with the independence of Greece, of Booth America, and of Mexico, when, casting off the yoke of kings, they es-> tablfahed their claims to self-government; and hasten our infamy by any premature weakness, by any act that shall expodito our downfall or accelerate our bondage. We are now asked to beoome voluntary agents in enthralling our selves; we are implored to send an ambassa dor, to Romo—to have our manacles forged in the foruacos of the imperial city, under the special care of tho Holy Father, who acknowl edges no human authority in matters of gov ernment, but who ploads a divine right to bow down the neck of man in tho dust, and yoke him to the iron car of absolute power.* Do Americans, who think fovorabiy of this measue as a stroke of policy to conciliate the foreign Catholic vote, calculate that it must cost too honor if not the freedom of our country, when they propose that wo shall despatch a po litical ambassador to a prince who maintains that all power emanates from a divine source, and that the people possess in themselves no inherent right ? Has it been ascertained even that the Pontiff will receive an ambassador from a country not only branded with heresy, bnt outlawed as democratic from the pale of legitimate government? The practice of too Papal Court has always been adverse to recei ving missions from powers that did not in some form acknowledge hor supremacy. Evon Eng land has for ages maintained no diplomatic re lations with Rome, owing to her Protestant con- tumaoy. Are we to bend the knee first, and then to acknwledge the Pope as the source of all power? Must we prove recreant to our glorious Declaration of Independence? Must we renounce popular rights? On what terms is our ambassador to go? Does toe proposition come from the Pope or originate with onr own Cabinet? These are important questions to answer. Has hfa Holiness turned democrat? and fallen in love with our free institutions? This fa not probable; for if be cannot tolerate toe idea of a Protestant hierarchy like England, he will not assuredly be able to look with com placency upon a people who maintain tbe rad ical equality of the human race as we do. If the appointment were a mere mercantile arrangement to negotiate a treat of the trade and commerce, it would wear a color more na tional—even although toe Pope is not bound to KKEP PARE WITH HERETICS If But, alas ! the Pontine marshes are the boundaries of the trade and commerce of the Roman Pontiff. He has no trade, no commerce, no exchanges of value to offer for onr cotton, our tobacco, our nee, our floor, oar hemp. . It becomes, then, a pure po litical embassy; yet having no political rela tions with Rome, it becomes reduced to a mere nullity, an empty form, an unmeaning pageant, a ridiculous display, wicked in its conception, disgraceful in its tendency, and prodigal in its expenditure. Is tofa a time to play with expen sive baubles, while we are borrowing millions upon millions to prosecute the war? Must we add to the burdens of onr national debt by tax ing tea and coffee, in order that we may send an ambassador to the Roman Pontiff, to acquire the vices or familiarize himself with the frivoli ties of the’ Roman Court ? How stands this, boasted Italian reformer, as a constitutional monarch ? Is he willling to part with any of his boasted prerogatives as an absolute high priest and king? Listen to his own declarations, spoken at toe last opening of hfa Council of State, and mark toe holy indig nation with which he repels the slightest itnpn tat ion or suspicion of bis despotic character! And yet we, thS AmCrlean people, propose to send a deputation, an embassy, to this confirmed despot! These are bis words : “I thank yon for your good intentions; and as regards tbe public welfare, I esteem them of valne. It was for the pnblio good, that, since my elevation to toe Pontifical throne, I have, in accordance with the counsels inspired by God, accomplished all that I eonld; and I am still ready, with tbe assistance of God, to do all for toe future, without, how ever, retrenching in any degree toe sovereignty of the Pontifiicate; and inasmuch as I received it fall and entire from my predecessors, so shall I transmit tofa sacred de posits to my successors. I have three million of snbjectsas witnesses, and I have hitherto accom plished much to unite my subjects with me, and to ascertain and provide for their necessities.— It was particularly to ascertain those wants, and to provide betterfor the exigencies of the public service, that I have assembled a perma nent council. It was to bear yonr opinion when necessary, and not to aid me in my sovereign resolutions, in which I shall consult my con science; and confer on them with tbe Ministers and toe Sacred College. Any body who wonld take any other view of toe functions you are called to fulfil would mistake materially, as well as he that would see in toe Council of State I have created the realization of their own Utopi as, and the germ of an institution incompatible with the Pontifical sovereignty.” __ _ *Tho Roman Catholic i'Bfahop of Philadcl- fte yoke thus cut off was fteVoke of politicai I P hiB »” Bishop Kendrick, says, in his famous bondage only, and wot the thraldom of toe sn- ]?«*r on union, published in the Roman Catho- premacy of priestcralt But how did we sym- I “ c Herald, of Philadelphia: litical obaractor, as a sovereign, the monarch of Rome. And we find that sovereign so jealous of hfa absolute secular power as to.denounce by by ontioipation any possible surmise of bis in tention to part with or relax im&vor of popular freedom any, nay even the slightest, portion of hfa absolute pontifical prerogatives. He will not retrench one iota of that power which he has re- 1 foil and entire from his predecessors, hich ho will transmit as a sacred deposits successors. And what is this deposits ? Such is the language of the reformer, for whom a faction in tho United States would express sympathy.'and with whom they are willing to fraternise! True, we send a minister to Russia, who is an absolute monarch; but toe Autocrat of Russia, although too head of the Greek Chureb claims no eceiesiastioal supremacy in other States and over the other people, and does -ant direct toe terrible energies of his absolutfanf to the prepa- S tion of the religions dogmas and tbe estab* hment of the temporal power of the Greek Chhrch, in dominions not properly subject to hfa sway. Besides, most important political and commercial relations between tbe United States and Russia justify this embass, as conclusively as similar reasons justify missions to other Pow ers whieb hold no repnbliean affinities or ten dencies. The empire of Russia extends from North-western America to the Baltic, and toe Black sea—the* Amoricnn flag waves in Russian ports, from Arcbaogel to Odessa, from St. Pe te rsburgh to Kamschatka, and the honor and interests of tho country alike demand the pres ence of a representative of the United States at the Court of St. Petersburgh. But, in toe cose of Pius, we propose to send a sympathising em bassy, a special political agent to uphold his po litical character, and encourage him in hfa ef forts to overthrow American institutions! Sir, I wage no war against any religions opin ions of foreigners or Americans, nor do I con ceive Jesuit influence to have any-connexion wiih religion. Roman Catholic countries have insnccossion denounced, expelled, or proscribed the Jesuits, as toe most formidable enemies of government, several Popes have fulminated their bulls against them. It is too trite a part of history to detail, for all know that it was Pope Clement XIV. who promulgated the memorable edict for their suppression as a pernicions order, whose ambition was incompatible with toe gov ernment of empires and the parity of the Ro man Catholic religion.* Their colleges were suppressed, and their revenues confiscated by Roman Catbolie prelates, popes and kings.— The institution of Ignatius Loyola was made to immortalize toe ambition of bad men. It laugh ed with derision at toe power of States to ex tinguish it; it still flourishes more formidable than ever tbrongbout Europe, unseen in its gi* ant power, but more powerful than kings. Fol lowing in toe path of their victims, they come in droves to toe United States, and are now spread through the length and breadth ofthe land. With smiling and meek exterior, their purposes are all rueful. They wear no terrific front; they carry no weapon to destroy lifo; bnt bear toe sceptreof knowledge in their hands, and under the banner of “education” they instil the insidious doctrines that invest them with almost omnipotent power over the minds oftheir disciples. Power over the human will fa the ob ject of the Jesoit, and the aim of that power fa to rule man by enslaving him. A communny under toe influence of Jesuits must be a com munity of slaves. Implicit obedience to the be hests of a despot fa the first law of the order ; and will you give fresh vigor to that order by courting a legate of the Pope to be stationed in this city for tbe purpose of centralizing its influence ? Sir, foreign colonies planted among ns, under the influence of such a central power, cannot fail to work ont their designs, even to the overthrow ot our free institution. I tell yon, and I tell the nation, (for there fa yet time to save it,) that the propagandists of Europe are colonizing this country; that tbe foreign population is being dexterously located, not only with toe view to tho bolding of toe balance of power in certain States, bat with ref erence to the organization of new ones, under the peculiar influence of toe Jesuits, who will spread their ample wings over them, go where they may. The Jesuit fa not confined to toe country; he is at home every where; bis web fa thrown overall; bis power benumbs the soul and fetters the body; his victim is controlled, and moves, and acts, at the will of bis master; and it is this master whom yon propose to serve by the passage of this bill. Sir, a Jesuit college or seminary are now fam iliar thing’, to be seen in all places, and daily increased, without exciting a sensation or giv ingl evil, even-when; most odious and revolting in its features.. But a gilded exterior, makes evil a Welcome object to our senses. We greet the man whose bland smiles cheor us, and whose flatteries gratify our vanity. Courtesy and lear ning both npite to render too Jesuit insinuat ing ; and, had he no object but the single pur pose of Improving tbe intellect of mankind, be should receive tbe homage of my admhratiou-— Bnt even “education'' may be purchased at too high a prico. After all, can. the knowledge in culcated by the Jesuit be callen called “educa tion ?” It fa not, at least, the education of an America or of a freeman. A republican, come from wbat quarter of the globe he may, ought to have bis whole soul expanded to the ntmoat bounds of liberality—free, daring, energetic, and boundless in its soaring flight; feelllng no throb be feared to fitter; burning with no thought he dare not express. This, sir, fa the basis, tho only basis, of American. Education: Unrestrained freedom of tboaght and speech, no master but God, no superior but the. laws, conscience for hfa guide, and reason for hfa coun sellor. If no other evil resulted to too- American people but this system of servile education by the ambitions Jesuit, who seeks to control it, wrapping up tbe minds of our American youths in toe eternal bonndsge of Egyptian darkness, it wonld be quite a sufficient inducementto put a curb on the evil, rather than to give loose rein to their designs by the passage of tbisbiil. Let it not be forgotten that this system of intellectual and moral bondage fa only a mean* to a great ulterior end—and that fa, political power and religions authority. Although the Popes bare, at various periods in the history of the world, pretended to suppress the order of the Jesuits, they have never foiled to avail themselves of their aid as missionaries. The Jr might- be suppressed at home bnt it was only to nerve them for fresh exertion in a distant land. It never was content with spiritual diffusion, but always struggles and pants to gain temporal power for its priestly head. We find no other religion but that of the Pope concentrating its votes to aceomplfah political power. It is pe- iil it in- *We know many American born Catholics who oppose this politico-religions link, and ad ready to resist the aggressions of Papsl power. We desire it to be distinctly under stood that, when we refer to too 'machinations ofthe Jesuits, and the designs of Papal power, we make no allusion to American bomCatbo- lies, for wbpse public aqd private virtues vfo entertain high •reject. ; : ‘ ' • . ; , • patoiso? Not by sending an ambassador, but by passing resolutions in Congress applauding the act of emancipation. Here Were causes in Which nations achieve their freedon, and yet we sent no ambassadors. If Pius has emanci pated toe Roman people, bring foWrttrd your resolutions, and then we may nave an oppor tunity to inquire how for toe extent of his re forms will justify even tout manifestation of our, national applause. The innovation now proposed fa against all precedent, is frowned down by all principle, is denounced by facts, and rendered ridiculons by its extravagance. It would indeed be a farce but fur the tragic character of its consequences; and these enti tle it to our unmitigated abhorrence. * Pass this bill, and yon insult the majesty of the people by toe desecration of their Consti tution, by the violence done to genius of our Government, by the ohtrage on free principles involved in toe proposition to recognize Papal Rome, an infallible Church power, as toe head of the State. When we talk of the genins of republican government, and allude to the spirit of free institutions, said to be so mortally wounded by toe Mexican war, let us remember the wrong done to the spirit of freedom by this scheme of an ambassador to tbe Pope, whose spiritual character fa.the absorbing one of hfa throne; and who, if be is no Pope, is no sovereign—ho holding bis right to rale his subjects from a Divine, not a human source. In all other mon archies toe right divine fa abolished. In Rome, it is the essence of secular as well as ecclesias tical power. And hence it is tbatfio Pope can be a reformer, in toe true sense of that term. He cannot give too people the rights they are entitled to, because from that moment he would oease to be Pope, and tbe people, ceasing to be slaves wonld become sovereign. Pins never can do wbat wonld entitle him to American ap probation. No Pope can ever be worthy of an ambassador from this repnblio on grounds snob as we now hear maintained. “ Would yon have a serpent sting you twice ?” 'We have had experience of tbe evils of mon archy in its best form, and shall we risk the perils of its deadly venom in tho worst? JVhen aid the Church of Rome, or the Popp, ever receive homago that it did not exact fealty ? When did it ever pause in its giant march, after universal dominion? When did it ever snep, if power was to be gained by waking? When did it ever fascinate without the intention to destroy? The flood of immigration is sweeping its millions of foreign Roman Catholio voters over the land. # The post is gloomy enough; toe S resent awfully portentious; bnt toe fotnre fa lack “with shadows, clouds, and darkness.” This country seems destined to be toe grand theatre of Ronton Catbolie power—not Ameri can Papistry, but too Popistiy of Romo^-of Id world- ’ ------ the old -world—of Austria and of Pope. Shall oar rights wltoont resistance ? Shall we make a stand now, on a Government proposition to unite this freo .Republic with absolute Romo; or shall we surrender in an anticipation of the dajr of tfial, and tfee Pop, in despjy, to “With civil liberty and independence it (too Papal power) interferes no further than tho divine law puts bounds to human power, and says to the pride of man: ‘ Thus far sbalt thou go, and hero toon sbalt break toy swelling Graves.'” ... .,*■ We direct attention to toe admission of tbe Romish Bishop of Philadelphia, contained in the first part of the quotation: “ civil liberty and independence the „ apal poiber interferes HO further than the divine law puis hounds to human power.” The Papal power, then, docs to a cortain ex. lent interfere with “civil liberty and indepen nee!” “No farther than”—Americans, mark those words, and then yon come $0 know that the Romish Church herselF claims too sole right of deciding how far “divine law pats bounds to haman power,” I ask yon,, if there be not here a plain declaration that toe Papal S lower may, and does, interfere with “civil iberty and independence nnder certain circum stances—those ciroumstances to be determined by bcrsolf alone, since she claims to be the Sole Church of Christ on earth. Wbat, if toe Pope and Church of Rome judge that, at this very hour, the bounds which “too divine law puts to human power” have been transgressed by the Government of tho United States! Wbat if the’Papal power believes, at this very hour, that the bold and manly inde- londence of Amerieans is “toe pride of man!” tishop Kendrick has answered too question : “Tbe Papal power bas a right to interfere,” Tho Papal power has a right (too ability fa quite another thing) to say to the civil liberty and independence Of these United States, “ Thus far sbalt thou go, and here thou shalt break thy swelling waves.” fThe Bishop’s Oath.—The following is copied from the ordination oath of the Roman Catholio bishops in tno United States: “The rights, honors privileges, and authori ty of the holy Roman Church, of our Lord tho Pope, and his aforesaid successors, I will ondea- vor to preserve, defend, increase, and advance. I will not bo in any oounsel, action, or treaty, in which shall bo plotted against our said Lord and the said Roman Church any thing to the hurt or prejudices oftheir persons, right honor, state, or power; and, as soon as I can, will sig nify it to our said lord. Tbe rules of the Holy Fathers, toe apostolic decress, ordinances, or disposals, reservations, provisions, and manda tes, I will observo with all my might, and couse to be observed by others. Hereticss, Schismatics, and Rebels to our said Lord or his aforesaid f trill tqyny power persecute and oppose. I will come to a council when I am called—I will my self personally visit the threshold of the Apos tles (at Rome) every three years, and give an account to our Lord and his aforesaid succes sors, &o., and WILL in like manner humbly RECEIVE and diligently EXECUTED the A- POSTOLIC COMMANDS.” . It is part and f MHB tar they nt nwiwi ,a.^Tv,«w. ** all riests and sanctioned by.toe Pope, that all pro perty, whether buildings, land, or mony, appro priated to religious uses, must be invested in the Bishops, who are responsible to the Pope alone. *The Pope’s Foreign Jesuits.—A sufficient ground of opposition is found in toe character of the agents who are made use of to accomplish the revolution to which I refor. History furnishes evidence, sanctioned by Roman Cotholics them selves, that toe Jesuits, who are swarming over this country, are men whose principles and prac tices have been dangerous to the peace and or der of all governments. With them all things are right when sanctioned by tbe end. To lie, to assassinate by the steel and chalice, are with them virtuous deeds, when they.promote the in terests of Romo. Tbe proof of this is on the pages of Molina, Lessius, Vasqnez, Escobar, and the rest quoted by Pascal in his provincial let ters. And we refer, for their practical results, to the ecclesiastical and political history of Eu-. j rope, for the best comment on their enormities. Their perfect and internal discipline, their entire obedience to their leader, tbe art with culiar to Popery never to rest content till i eorporates its power with the civil government. We have the voice of history to instruct us in the fact, that a religion founded on the union of spiritual and temporal power .will ■ strive naturelly to propagate that union, as indispen sable to it* perfection. Without political power, such a religion is not only incomplete, but de fective, deformed,- and wanting In its natural members. Why fa it So? Because the head of the Romish church fa a temporal prince, of absolute power and infallible authority. Ques tion hfa mandate, and excommunication follows. Disobey hfa behests, and lo! toe rod of hfa vengeance falls on the culprit, both’ in this world and toe future. The fountain of its j honors, ministry, and functions, (spread where it may,) fa <at Rome. The Pope, reformer though he be, is toe head of all. From Kim flows toe double stream of spiritual and tempo ral power, which, however it may divide itself for a season by the rugged face of foreign climes, never rests, but boils and bubbles forev er, till it reunites, even through the impedi ments of blood, carnage, revolution, and re hellion. Its impetuous surges of ambition beat against every shore for toe admission of its tem poral power; and now, amidst the spreading lights of the 19th century, we' are asked nol; only to recognise, but to send a minister pleni potentiary in advance, craving bin Holiness to condescend,- by creating a- religions tie, to taka ns into hfa holy keeping. Gracious and just Heaven! to what direful ends will tbe passions and ambition of men harry them! How inscrutable are the ways of God to test onr virtue, and waken in onr bosoms toe divine emotions which led the noble men of other days to make snch immortal sacrifices, when burning at toe fiery stake, or dying nnder the tortures of the inquisition—when Smith- field celebrated her hellish orgies, V the Tack tore toe bleeding limbs of heroic martyrs at Madrid—or the massacre of toe Huguenots deluged tbe fair fields of France with toe best blood of toe age! Will gentlemen who propose to rivet tits reli gious chain think of the future, for it fa to the fhture that we are to look for bonds, fetters, and disfranchisement ? That future which, in a few years, will expand our population to an hundred million; when enr wild Indian lands, embracing Oregon and the far West, shall have been settled by foreign Roman Catholics and their children, all nnder the gui dance and control of Jesuit leaders, bound to obey their General the Pope’s nuncio, whose head quarters are to be the seat of government, and that seat of government the city of Wash- IKGTOir!* Let us imagine, for a moment, all this im mense expanse of empire, embracing some fifty or sixty States, to be settled by its pro- portion of the foreign slaves of foreign Jesuits; and, interring the future from tbe past, that they have been successful in extending their invasions upon the spiritual. and political rights of the American people! What would be the direfol consequences of this dreadful consequences of this dreadful overshadowing of the moral and intellectual, world ? Are the religious wars and relentless persecutions of fire, rack, and other bloody demonstrations of bigotry, with which Popery has deluged Eu rope for ages, again to be actod oyer here—on the fair and unstained bosom of onr vast and free Republic? Heaven forbid this foul desse- cration of our tqnal rights! And yet, what hope of exemption gleams in the future, unless will have no duties to perform in Romo ; and . now permit* ine to inquire what interests of Rome, as, a European Power, are to be protee. ted by her minister in this coantry ? Sir, tofa Cofistitotes tbe gist, the very mar row of the qfierti on.' Ho is destined to bo a Vigilant observer of the ruffled waters of po litical agitation—an active correspondent, ad visory and directory, afid, so far as toe Jesuits in this country are concerned, mandatory— concentrating the combined force of foreign Roman Catholic action, aftd tho foreign Roman Catholic rote, npon such men and such meas ures os are best calculated to extend the tem poral power and political influence of toe Ro mish priesthood! Shall such a consummation be brought about or hastened by the action of those who claim to be the descendents of the Pilgrims? Sir, I trust not. ' Does England send a minister to Rome? No; and yet their International re- 1atfo!Wr,k8VlBgaip«ffaT re fore n c e to the condi tion of Ireland, are full of importance. Eng* land well knows that what is useful may be attained, and that what fa fraught with danger may bo avoided, by dispensing with reciprocal embassies. England does not forget tho tea chings of history. Cardinal legates and Papal nuncios have in their day taught her lessons— lessons never to be forgotten, for those lessons were written in blood! Sir, every step of Pius the IX, In bis seeming Spirit of reform, is made with a direct refer-, ence to the extontion of hfa temporal power over this Republic! He has political sagacity enough to discover that the practical workings ont ofthe principles of freedom, through the medium of universal suffrage, can be adroitly converted into the means of supporting the spirit of superstition as tho basis of political power. While'weare engaged in the Mexican war, let us not lose right of toe faetthat Europe fa invading ns. That her paupers and criminals under the control of Jesuit leaders, are-swarm ing over toe land, spreading disease, phisical, moral, political, and religions. Sir, there has been, and there is, a systematic effort now going on to overthrow American rights and American institutions by the means to which I have alluded. There are those who hear me who know full well that, a few years ago, a distinguished German historian deliver ed a Course of lectures before toe Emperor of Austria and the nobility of that conn tty, in which he undertook to show that Europe's thrones Would remain insecure so long as thfa example of free government existed in the United States. His name was SchlegeL In bis eighteenth lechire he proceeded to show how to give solidity to toe thrones of tyrants i “Send yonr refuse population,” said he, “to the Uni ted States, under toe control of toe Jesuit?.- They will keep the foreign population separate population sepi aad distinct from the American.

Do this,” said he “and the work is done V'* •In making the above quotation, Jtr. L-vix gave toe substance of the paragraph rather than the language of the author. The extracts which follow are taken from a pamphlet entiled “The Republic,” published in 1844, in the city of Philadelphia, immediately following the extracts from Schlegel will bo found the decla ration of the Duke of Richmond. Mr. L» has given credit to Schleget for much that ought to have .been given to the Duke of Richmond. Yet how can the advocates ef the Jesuits es cape the fact that, immediately after the delivery of these lectures, tHb Leopold ikstitDtiox was founded by toe Austrian government* FOR WHAT END? “The Leopold Foundation.—This is & society' in Europe whose funds are derived, in part, from the money paid by the people to have their Sins pardoned. Tbe price is duly regulated. Crimes are paid for in proportion to their size; and toe proceeds, tons -taken from toe poor slaves of superstition, are paid into this Leo pold Society, for the kind purpose of shedding European Popish light upon our Repnbliean darkness!!! And such a system finds apolo* gists and advocates in the United States. Tin Leopold foundation has, for its Ultimate object, the extinction of republicanism in America. The very year before its institution, Pro fessor Schlegel, a very learned historian, who stood high in the confidence of toe Austrian Government, delivered a coarse of lectures at Vienna, the avowed object of Which Was to prove, that Popery and Monarchy had always been toe natural allies and supporters of each other, as were also Republicanism and Protes tantism. At the close of toe 17th lecture of this course we find the following declaration: “The true nursery of all these destructive priv' ciples—-alluding to the republican principles of wall'*'" which they adapted their instruction to every . . . ...... , class of people, the eonsumate ability, learning, the friends of civil and religious liberty, ani- and judgement which they displayed, rendered mated by a sublime devotion to toe welfare of them the most powerful and opulent of toe mo* I their children and the freedom of posterity, nastic orders. They became the grand bulwark of Popery. The facility with which they relax ed the moral system of Christianity, and accom modated it to the propensities of mankind, ren dered them exceedingly popnlar. The charac teristics ofthe Jesuits were craft and subtlety; now combine to arrest the maroh of Papal usur pation before it ovearpreads the land, and plants Its “garrisons” of power deep in toe bosom of our valleys, irresistible, and Unresisted ?

Accordingly, tho very next year the society “for aiding Roman Catholio Missions in America” was instituted at the Very place where these lectures were delivered, with Prince Me‘»- ternieb, the Austrain Premier, at the head ef it! Put this fact by the Bide of the declaration o the Ditke of Richmond, and who can resist the eonelosiod, that Roman Ceth dio missions are prosecuted in this oountry With the express de sign of overthrowing out free institutions ? “The Duke of Richmond.—The following lan guage ofthe Duke of Richmond, while Gover nor ofthe Canadas is reported by Mr. A. 0.
