The clergy, no less than the people, Of Ire
land. are fully reused against Austria And IA
this feeling, the press aud masses, well as the
Government of England, sympathize.
Pope PrUs is regarded as the asserter of con-
stitational freedom-the defender Of civil and
religious liberty-as now, the great means, ''the
sure instrumentality,' as a distinguished
protestant says, by which despotism may be
overthrOwn in Europe.
But the Irish outstrip all in their enthusiasm.
They regard the Austrian emperor as another
Attila, and are already offering the Pope men
and money to meet him. The Rev. Mr.. Car
lore--the distinguished President of the Irish
College at Rome-writes to the Dublin Free
man, urging British interference against the
Austrian invader. He says Menernieh's order
to the Pope was thus:
''Let him disband his National Guard, revoke
his decree about n representative government,
put down a free press, and choose between be-
ing made Bishop of Rome, shorn of his tempo
raj scsptre, and holding that sceptre in subser-
vieney to the Kaisar."
He calls upon Freemen to resist by opinion
and act this tyranny. He declares that the
Pope is opposed to slavery, and determined to
assert the Liberty of Italy, and that this should
prompt mighty movements worldwide de-
mand-in behalf of the Independence of Rome,
"Oh," exclaims the Bishop:
"Oh! for the man so lately snatched from
among us, whom tyrants so intensely hated;
whom Plus SO justly designated the Hero Of
Christianity The denunciation which he alone
could give, would not fail to have the due effect
in this important crisis
Austria will have enough to do. Mettermch
is worn out, and weak, and thinks the old despo-
tism, will suit the new Era. He has shaken, al
ready, his masters power in Austrian Italy we
think he will blast il at home, and near the

We had intended copying the many notices
which have been taken Of the Examiner at home
and abroad This course is not unusual with
the press But we concluded ON the whole to
omit them, content TO let our paper speak for it.
self We cannot, however, forbear returning our
cordial and hearty thanks to our brethren Of the
Press for the kind manner in which they have
spoken of us, aud expressing our hope, that the
very few who have greeted us in different tenn
per, may yet acknowledges, that our aim is, as
far as We possess any influence, to benefit all,
to injure none.
But though observing this rule with regard to
ourselves, we may be pardoned in departing
from it as regards our associate. Not that this
is necessary where he is known, but that friends
abroad, who are unacquainted with him, may
know ho,c he stands at home, and cherish him
Alright. Our excellent neighbor, the Louisville
Courier, gave us kindly notice last week, and
in that, thus spoke Of our friend and associate:
With Mr.. Cosby, we have en-
loved for many years an intimate friendship.
He is known throughout the Union as one of
the most delightful of song writers, and as one
of the best of our poets. tie is not SO generally
known away from home as he should and will
be, as one Of the most classical minds in the
West, and as one who enjoys an acquaintance
with English literature that is equal to that Of
any man in the country. The urbanity Of his
disposition, the comfy Of his department,
Joined with his philanthroPic sympathies, and
we'll cultivated mind, eninently fit him for the
position he has chosen as one Of the editors Of
the Examiner" If the earnest, well convict
ed, firm but forbearing friends of emancipation
in Kentucky, had always possessed an advocate
of the qualifications that are eentered in Mr..
Cosby, the cause might to-day have stood in q
position from which sunrise might have been dis
cernsd, and the present feelings of that class
of the people Of Kentucky could scarcely have
found a more discreet and sounder man to ex-
press their sentiments. He belongs to a family
associated with nearly the earliest recollections
of kentucky to his father the State had entrusted
some of her most important responsibilities, and
he has lately descenoed to the tomb, full of years
and honor. The son was born and reared in
Louisville, and Kentucky has nc son whose
heart beats more proudly for her glory, none
whose patriotic impulses are more actively en-
ployed for her welfare than Mr.. Cosby's-
The literary department of the EXAMINER
is mainly under the care of Mr.. Cosby, and
in taste, sounduess andvalue, is not exeelled by
any puper in the country, not even by the Home
Journal, and that We hole in high estimation.
As family paper, we commend the "Exami
ner'' To the favor fths reading public, No fami-
ly can read il long without having their minds
improved, and their hearts enlarged.

two dollars per annum, in advance, or three dol

The comparative result is the same over the
whole State.
Remember the debt of Ohio. Ii is over nine
teen millions Of dollars. Yet by increase Of
population, Ohio has begun to pay off that debt,
and at the same time, to reduce largely its taxa
ton. And are her internal improvements de-
creasing in value, or extent They are, ION the
contrary, yielding more, and rapidly extending
in every direction.
Schools, churches, railways, turnpikes, and all
moral and commercial facilities are becoming
common to all classes, and to every portion ofihs
great State. This is the result Of freedom. VIZ
could enjoy all these blessings with il. Slavery
alone prevents it, Shall we allow this Can
we consent to fOrego SO much, and sacrifice so
much, for this institution Speak, friends,
speak one and all, that our State may be re-
deemed and blessed.

enter the mighty contest; and, now, from this
sacred spot, in proud humility, we proclaim our
readiness to enter upon the great strife which
still prevails between our honored mother and
her obstinate daughter: strife for manufacture
ing pre-eminence-for commercial glory. And
should our beginning be but the prelude to great
success; should this enterprise extend until all
within our range of vision shall feel its impulse,
until those rows of old diapdated novels
shall give place to handsome streets; and they,
who now suffer in poverty, shall rejoice in COM
fort. II, extending beyond this, the general in
terest of our beloved city shall be promoted, her
commerce increased, her population enlarged,
her real estate made more valuable, her prosperi-
ty established on permanent basis, then will
be appreciated the importance of this under
taking and the appropriateness Of this simple
ceremony. Then this corner stone will be re-
garded with greater pride than the most splen-
did obelisk and held IA, higher honor than loftv
temples or triumphai arches"
The fervor of the orator, and the sngularity
Of an address being made on such an occasion,
may excite smile anong those Of MS who start
these things in gutter way. But ii was good
policy to make gala display. Charleston is
sinking rapidly in population. and unless some
means Be devised TO extend her resources, to
secure for her greater variety Of labor, she will
soon become small place. Slavery has thrown
her back, and put her beyond the hope, almost,
Of full and healthy recovery. The orator ex-
aggera,es not when he talks "of rows of dilapi-
dated hovels."
Success be with the enterprise! Charleston
is pn,-eminent for her hospitality and noble
generosity, and We should rejoice TO see her
springing up with renewed youth. Bnt we fear
it is a moral impossbility. She has nowhere
dense schife population; she has not within her
gates an artizan class Of numerical force; the
negro fills the plantations around, and occu-
pies the mechanic'splace in the city; and labor
is not, cannot be, respected!
