To Ms HOLMES POPE Pts IL
VsSERasLE FArHER-The People OF these Cnl-
ted States have observed with profound interesting
circum.taucs. which attended andt events which
have followed your elevation TO the Pontifcste-sn
interest which has ripened into sympathy and IN.
measured admiration. On behalf OF a portion OF
| this People we tender you an expression OF nose
sentiments Of regard and emphatic appreciation
which are cherished by all
we address YOU not az Sovereign Pontif but as
the wise and hamane Ruler Of e once oppressed
AMI discontented now well-governed and grateful
IL hap2y People. We unite IN this tribute, not as
! Catholics which some Of US are while the greater
/ number are not bat Republicans and lovers OF
/ Constitutional Freedom. Recent ssis our National
| origin. wide as is the ocean which separates our
beloved land from your sunny cline. We kno" Wen
what Italy was IN the proud days OF her unity iree-
| dom and Rlorv-what she has since been while de
graded by foreiz IN rule and internal dissension-and
\ We have faith that lofty and benigusnt destiny
awaits her when her people shall again be uni.
/ ted independent and free. In the great WORK OF
her regeneration. we hail you as Hesven-apPoint-
! ed instrument: and We ariently pray tnst your
DAYS nav be prolonged until You shall witness the
| contamination Of the wise and benc 'cent poicy
which Is destined to render your name immortal,
But Venerable Father, we know wei that the
path YOU have chosen s one OF extreme iiculty snd

and consolidate the blessings we now 40 eminenty

/ trvmen OF Washington and Franklin. Of Adams and
jefferson. are well aware that you did not enterup
| on the course you have chosen without deliberate
remuneration of ease OF security and OF srstocratlc
/ favor We know that you must have already re-
signed yourself 10 encounter the Vaccinations OF
the crafty the hatred of the powerful, snd-most
| painful OF all-the misconceptions OF the we'll
meaning bat deluded We know thst you must
have calmly resolved % encounter the untiring nos
ty and dread Of al the unjust or tyrsnnical rulers
who assume to lord II over portion OF the tar
Italian Peninsula-all who fancy that Social Order
consists in the maintenance for themselves OF those
conditions Of Luxury aud Sloth IN which they have
hitherto uselessiy exsted-all who tear. or sehshy
affect % fear. that Religion must perish II not up
held BY the fleeing breath OF Emperors ard Kings.
And more formidable than all these you must have
girded yourself 10 encounter end by Gods help 70
overcome. that fickleness and ngratiude OF multi
tuies lust released from benumbiug bondage which
could c'smor IN the Wilderness to be led back to
the flesh pots OF Egypt-which among the co,em-
poraries and even the followers OF our Saviour
could leave Him to bear in solitude the agony OF
His Grassland which in your case we apprehend,
will vet manifest itself in unreasonable expecta-
tons extravagant hopes, mpetuous requirements,
and in murmurings that nothing has been earnestly
intended because everything has not already been
accomplished. That you will be guided and shield
ed from on High in dischsrging the transcensent
responsibilities OF your position, We will unwaver'
ingly trust.
And Venerable Father. dark rs the clouds
which enycl0p the Present may be, we do know
that the sunshine Of the Future will overpower and
dispcl them. To say nothing here Of the clear as
surance fast anchored by the Eternal Throne, that
no generous deed or endeavOr can ever be really
defeated or fail OF its ultimate reward. we assure
YOU from joyful experience, that the blessings OF
constitutional Freedom far outweigh all the perlls
and suflerings through which Nations advance 70
! I their achievement Short a. our National HE has
vet been Il has already demonstrated to every
thoughtful observer the immense superiority OF
Liberty to Despotisn rs an element OF National
growth and Social welbeing il has shown that
the rights OF persons and property may be better
, / secured under a Government which guarantees
rights and powers 10 all than under any other
that the agitati)us and acts of violence which are
incident to human irailty or injustice under any
form of government are far less frequent under
ours than any other; and that whatever dangers
may assal or threaten us have their origin not Ia
an excess Of Liberty but the contrary 50 much
} at least. we feel that We are amply justified ~
say ing in view Of your position the pers II braves
and the anticipations it iusthes
In defiance of superficial appearances we dc
. not apprehend that the mailed cohorts OF Despo
tism are about 20 b. set in motion against you
The age ia which We live Is one Of moral rather
, than physical warare--in which the artillery o
the Press commands and siieuces that OF the Camp
p in which Opinion is more potent than Beyonets
b We trust therefore that against any direct and
open resort 10 force and bo0dshed you are shielded
, by the psnoply of good mems appreciation aud
, sympathes throughout the length and breadth 81
Christendom But should these expectations be dis
appointed, let the rash aggressOr beware The
first shot fired in such contest will reverberate
from every mountain, summonlng the brave and
noble from every cline 10 stand forth against In
Justice and OppressOn-to battle for Freedom and
Mankind. In such contest no one familiar with
the history or character Of the American People
can doubt that their sympathies will be active and
not wholly frutess. That Italy will be spared the
devastation and Chrstendom the guilt aud scanda
OF such a contest, will not harbOr doubt bu
in any case we will hope that this testimonial o
the interest ard admiration with which you are re
garded by Twenty Millions OF People will not have
J been wholly in vain.
We are, Venerable Father, yours most truly.
