The CATHOLIC Row IN NEw ORLEANs-Some
curious movements taking place in New Orleans
between the Bishop and the wardens relative to the
appointment OF new cure; and they appear to be
only the commencement of the same difficulties that
have taken place here between the wardens of Saint
Patrck's Cathedral and Bishop Dubois The matter
IN dispute, it is said, is about to be referred TO the
Sovereign Pontiffa Rome; bu unless The Sovereign
Pontif decides according to the wishes of the
wardens, his decision will go for nothing. The fact
is, that is time for the Catholics Of this country to
come out and take bold independent stand in de-
fence OF their rights, and for the preservation OF
helrprivileges. 1t is utterly impossible for sove-
reign living great distance Italy is from the
United States, can hold judcous sway so large
and intelligent body of men as the Catholics Of
America are. And il must at last come to this; that
we must have an American Pope; and nothing short
Of that will be sufficient

derness for your state; not in anger but in

JOHN TYLER'S PL EDGES AND HIS
VIOLATION OF THEM.

We lave frequently charged The Pre-
sldent with derllection to the PRINCIPLES
OF the party which elected him, There
were certain questions aglated in the late
Presidential canvass, upon which the peo-
pie emPha'cally expressed Their opinions
IN the election of Gen. Harrison. The
Ing Iarly also made promises which
John tyler, as one OF lis candidates, was
pledged To perform in The event of all
election. He has forgotten every pledge,
and has redeemed no single promise of

lie has not given usa sound currency.
He has not sanctioned the distribution
Of the proceeds of the Public Lands d.
mong the States.
But he has vetoed two Bank Bills and
two Revenue Bills, whose objects were
TO effect these great leading measures Of
Wing reform.
lie has not endeavored to separate the
political press from the patronage which
he has to beslow.
He has not sough. to promote freedom
oil opinion TO secure the elective franchise
against the Influence of office.
But he has rewarded partisan editors
and prescribed honest and virluous Off
GERS who dared to differ with him in o.
plnon.
lie has not discharged his own appro-
pirate duties as Chief Magistrate
He has not ab,ained from all inlcr-
terence with the other Departments Of
Government
But he has most improperly sought
occasions publicly to express himself in
terms the most unbccomng of the Legis-
lature.
lie has not shown proper respec, for
The public will as expressed lhr ,ugh The
members Of Congress.
lie has not endeavored 10 carry out the
wishes of those who are the only proper
Judges i'll all mere questions of expedien-
cy.
But he has declared by his whole
course of conduct. that he is part of the
Legislature, and that his uiN shall be in
fact Tie Supreme Laac ofthe LaAm to sew
en'een millions OF other pc ople.
These assumptions the Wings resisted
in 1910, under the rule of Martin Van
Buren-they are resisting them now un-
der that of John Tyler. Then we were
conlending against a" open enemy, who
al least had the merit of sustaining, with
some show of consistency, the measures
he had previously put forth as the lead
ing ones of his administration. .Nou,
however, all Wing measures-all Wing
principles are abandoned, and we actual
ly find our former friend. the successor of
Mr.. Van Buren,, who helped to turn HIM
out, adopting The very policy-,he very
measures upon which he had himself made
war.
The battle, then, is to be fought over
it must be, for our cause is as Just now
as it was two years ago Let the work
be done as though all felt, and Indeed as
many do, tina; onr cherished institutions
are in danger.-Nalioual Forum.

TElc E'rCNcls Revolution.

DIR. l.ardner is at present leclurng in
Philadelphia on the French Revolution
From report of tie lecture published in
the ETenlng Journal, we take the follows
ing sketch:
Dan,on and Robcspicrre determined to
establish IA system OF eSpiorage-in other
words. 10 send their myrmdoms as spies
INTO The houses Of all suspected persons.
Toward the end Of August, this atrocious
measure was carried into execution. and
thousands were daily arrested, until the
prisons were literally filled to overflow
ing.
On the I'd day September, a band of
three hundred hired assassins arrived in
laEIs, who were cXhortcd by Danton and
his associates to massacre all in prison,
and being promised a louis dor per day
for tlel' services proceeded to the exc
cntion of their bloody engagement. It so
happened that at the Hotel de Nille,therc
were II arrested persons who had not
yet been committed to prison. Among
these, was the Able Sicard. These 24
persons, lest they should escape, were
first conducted to prison. Their conduc-
tors we're not content to await until their
arrival at the prison, but they passed a.
long, the most opprobious language was
used toward them On their arrival, as
they descended from the carriage, they
were all massacrecd, with the exception
of the Abbc
These three hundred assassins were
then joined by Maard, who had led the
women at the instruction Of the Tennis
Coust, and proceeded to their work with
cool blooded delibera,ion. Malard led
them into the hall Of the prison, where
the prisoners were to undergo mock
trial. lie sat down at table as Judge,
and called on the jailor to produce regis
ter Of the names of his prisoners, and the
offences with with which each was char
ged.
The prisoners were then separately
brought forth, and it was arranged that
when Malard, after the mock trial, should
say, "Set the prisoner lree'' lie should
be conducted out, apparently to he set at
liberty, am massacred by the assassins,
who were arranged in files at the door,
awaiting his appearance.
These proceedings were conducted with
the most hearless and unnatural cruelty,
and yet there occurred singularly incon-
slslenl instances of mercy. At one time,
as daughter chung around the neck of
her father, the uplif,ed hand of the execu-
TONER was stayed, and they were suffered
TO- escape! Those who manifested fear
were sure TO be massacreed; while on the
contrary, even aristocrats, who exhibited
great courage, were sometimes escorted
home by deputation of these assassns,
who, without conserving to receive any
thing, then returned to their bloody
work
On one occasion, daughter was asked
if, to save the life other father. she would
drink the blood Of all aristocral? A cup
Of blood was brought, which she in des-
pera,on drained. The deed excited their

Yes replied the governor, i will pass

Stern faces were around her bent,

And fearful were the words he spakc,
Oftorture, stake and fire;
Yet calmly in the midst she stood,
With eye undim'd and clear
And though her lip and cheek where white
She breathd 10 sigh Of fear,
Where is thy traitor Spouse they said;
A half formed smile of scorn,
That curled upon her ha'ghty liz,
Was back for answer borne;
Where is thy traitor spouse:' again,
In iiercer tones they said;
And stcrnly pointed to the rack,
All rlstcd DER with red!
Her heart and pulse beat firm and fec
But in crimson food,
Der pallid lip, and check and brow,
Rushed up the burning blood!
She spakc-but proudly rose her tones,
AS when in hall or bower,
The haughtiest chief that round her stood,
Had mcekIy owned her power.

But thou may'st win his broad estates,
Togracc thy infant heir,
And life and honor for thysclr-
So thou his haunts declare
She laid her hand upon her heart;
Her eye flushed proud and clear,
And iirlner grew her naughty tread
My lord Is hidden HERE!
and if You seek to view his FORM
lc first must tear away
From round his secret dwelling place
These walls ofliving claw
They qnailcd beneath her naughty glance-
They silent turned aside,
And lett her all unframed, amidst
Her loneliness and pride.
