THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1866.

Catholic. The ITltramontanes prhose triuniphs
he celebrates are undoubtedly Ass, eArnest, and
aggressive. They have for fears rut controlled,'
the policy of the Romish Court, and they have
forced on the Church the dogma of the Immacu-
late Conception, But their deification of central
authority, their eager resort to force, and hostility
to anything like freedom and intelligence within
the Church, have profoundly alienated many of the
more thoughtful and far-seeing Catholics, and will
eventually produce a strong reaction. This may
be at least assumed as tolerably certain, if the
Romish Church has all the vigour and vitality which
Dr. MAxidiso attributes to it. If it really grows
and expands through the action of a vital prin-
ciple it will never permanently acquiesce in the
suppression of its highest functions. The vitality
Dr. Xxxiirrso celebrates must thus, in the end,
be fatal to the apparent and temporary unity over
which he rejoices. _ _

In relation to the Temporal Power of the Pore,
Dr. Misarrito's views are equally partial, erroneous,
and confused. He inquires at the outset,
in what the temporal power consists: " Does it
" mean the possession of wealth, of fleets, of
" armies, of dominions like the British empire?'
Most people taking a common-sense view of the
mutter would answer at once, that the temporal
power does consist in these things, and in these
alone. Dr. MAsnaiso strangely says, that it con-
sists in none of these things, but in two Divine
laws ; that the Vicar of Claim can never be
subject to any human power, and that " there is
" committed to him the supreme guidance and
" direction over every soul on earth." If this is
a true account of the POPE'S tempera power, it is
clear that, according to Dr. Mixer:so, there is
and can be but one temporal Sovereign in the
world. But it is clear that as in the first part of
his discourse he confounded the Papacy with the
Romiah Church, so here he hopelessly confuses
the temporal and spiritual power of the POPE. Yf
the POPE had not an acre of land, or a penny of
revenue, he would still possess to the full tie
power which Dr. Malimuso designates as temporal.

NZ* YORK, AUGUST 217.4
President :Anson, accompanied by Mr. Seward,
General Grant, Admiral Farragut, and suite left
Washington this morning, en route for Chicago.
Great preparations are being made at New York
to receive the President, and the municipality will
present him with an address approving his policy.
The Philadelphia municipality refused to take part
in Johnson's reception in that city.
General Granger officially states that during his
tour through the Southern States he found no
symptoms of organised disloyalty to the govern-
ment.

NEW YORK, Auourr 30.

President Johnson and his suite received an
enthusiastic popular reception at New York yester-
day, and were entertained by the prominent citi-
zens, at a banqnet at Delmonioo's. The President
made a speech expressing his determination to carry
out his policy and restore the union. Mr. Seward
also made a speech, in which he said that the press
cried for war with Mexico, Spain, and England.
He himself favoured all wars which the nation
required ; but, referring to the refusal of Congress
to admit the Southern representatives, he did not
want to go into the field with one leg, and was a
little impatient to have the lame leg made right.
The New York States Senate have passed a
motion of welcome to the President. Several
republican senators have violently attacked John-
son, accusing him of officially sanctioning the
assassinations and massacre in New Orleans,
and declaring that his policy would cause another
civil war.
