AMERICAN MISSION TO RoME-We learn from
reliable source at Washington, that the Pre-
sident has determined to propose new mission
to his Holiness the Pope, at the commencement
of the session of Congress. The measure will
be proposed to both houses, and if the action
of those bodies should be favorable to the pro-
ject, the President will then send in the name of
person to the Senate for the emb
In the present state OF the relations between
the United States and Italy, this movement Of
the President seems to be very appropriate No
doubt there are few individuals attached TO
certain Christian sects, who still entertain the
| antiauated horrid notions attached to the name
| of the Pope; but such feelings at the present
day will excite more ridicule than respect.
The general feeling, even among the ex-
IRENE Puritans, at this hour of time and
eternity, exemplihed In the dis.
tinguished proprietor of the Tabernacle in this
city No one doubts that the gentleman is Pc
culiar and pious in his notionsIof the Pope and
puritanism. Yet, if he is offered one hundred
dollars for the use of the Tabernacle for one
night, by the friends of the Pope, and by those
who sympathse with his Holiness and choose to
get up public meeting, he does not refuse it,
but takes it and pockets it; considering, no
doubt, that the Pope hundred dollars, is at leas
as good as fifty dollars from any other less
Catholic source.
There can be no doubt of the tone Of public
opinion in this country towards Plus the Ninth,
and the movement in Italy, which he has origin
ated, and thus far carried out with such great
cess. His Holiness is bringing back the Church
of Rome to the novel position which il occupied
in the first three centuries of Christianity, before
it was corrupted by Constantine, and became a
part of the State The Pope, by his recent con-
duct, has declared against despotic power and
in favor of popular rights and popular liberty.
This remarkable policy of his has produced,
probably, greater sentiments of respect and
wider feelings of sympathy among the people
of the United States, than it has among envy
| people IN Europe. Yet the best and most relia-
| BILE way of expressing that American sympathy
is not by any public meeting, called by any guam
tity of busy individuals, but by the act of go
vernment and TO be consummatcd openly before
the world.
MIR. Polk, therefore, we have no doubt, will
refer to this important subject in his message
next week, and will bring before Congress the
question of an American mission to Rome.
That all parties will agree to such movement
there can be no doubt, Judging from the sympa-
thy which exists in the breast of every member
of Congress favorable TO the progress of liberty
in Europe. The sympathy which was expressed
for Ireland's distress, year ago, is only part
of the same general sentiment which will now
be expressed towards Italian liberty, and the
noble conduct of the present pontih
