however Vas IRON = nature, long and tedious pro,
have been shocked over and again BY the suppress
sion of partial rsngs begun in madness, dsoomfed by
treachery, and expiaied in blood. One of the most
pleasing aspects under which we view the benefceni ex
ertions Of his holiness is that may now indulge the
hope that these useless sacrifices will be done with for
ever There is now no excuse for men who simply die
for Italy; they have before them more hopeful more
trying and nobler task which is to live for their
iryss sake italy asks of her children laborous
devotion of heart and intellect through long life, and
not frantic suicide In a moment of despair
II is fitting and proper that this movement should come
from Rome Neither religion liberty will lose By
dwelling together in that city. II would seem that the
papa power Is now about 10 pay back the debt which
had been too long accommodating against its name, and
that the greatness of Its expiaon will cause the injuries

forgotten Nothing could be fairer than the begin
nings of the present Pope The spirit which actates
his measures Is more promising even than the meas
ures themselves He is not only acting with justice
towards men OF his own generation, but laying a
foundation for the future against which all the
efors of the adypcatcs of retrogressiye policy will
be useless. We do not now speak OF the pardon ex-
tended to refugees; OF the employment OF laymen
in government Offices; OF the permission given for
the construction Of railroad through his dominons OF
the exertons made to negotiate commercial treaties with
foreign powerseven with the Ottoman Porte, all OF
these measures evidence OF large and philanthropc

has been promulgated BY Cardinal Gizz, the Secretary
of State to Pope Plus IN
In this paper his emnence recognises the principle that
defective education is of the main OF the
crimes that unfortunately in the Poncal
States The education which this enlightened church
man contempates as remedy for the condition OF affairs
is not to be organized purely by churchmen. He
calls upon the heads of provinces well as the magls
tracy, noble and honest citizens well ministers of
the sanctuary 10 unite in the execution OF the good work

their evil courses and the benefit of the honest and peace
able classes of society second. the creation of body of
men qualified to serve God church and state accord

well religious education especially aimed at. and
it is announced that the government will be prepared
largely TO contribute from lis towards the
realization of the scheme This document is furthermore
important declaration of principle: these the
by which his holiness intends to work, not by the
adoption of wild theories, upon which, even amongst
theoretical men, great difference of opinion exists and
which utterly untitled towards the actual situation OF
the church.
The policy of Plus IX is then likely be policy of
tendencies and so the likely to be allowed to
work out its ends without any opposition from Austria
We happy that il is so, for the policy of Plus TX is
identical with the regeneration of Italy and the general
interests of mankind.-[ London Chronicle.
