! uTwelve copies of the New York Tribune
were taken at the Bristol office before the change

taken there, in about the same proportion. This
is the best commentary ON the nature of the re-
cent change.

be represented ON the occasion?
TIE STRUGGLE in iTALY.-If we understand
the position of the people of Italy, they are willing
to receive the Pope as their spiritual head, but
not as their temporal ruler. The struggle then
is for sell-governmcut, for rcpubcanisn. on the
part of the people, and all who aid tie Pope to
establish his temporal rule aid to cs,abIi h dcspo-
tism and to crush repuhlicanism. This is the
work that Louis Napoleon, traitor-ke to the peo-
pie that made him all he is, is seeking to accom-
plish. 1t is evident that there is in this deeper
and a biackcr motive, even, than the subiuoation
of Italy it is designed, by crushing republican,
ism elsewhere, to finally crush it in Franco, and
throw her back into despotsm of which this
poor fool shall be the head. Occurring ever $
encourage the belief that the people Of France
will not tolerate this, ard we look with conf
dence to see. if the design against Rome shall be
perscvered in, Louis NarOlaon driven from the
trust he has so shamofuy betrayed, as quick as
was Louis Philippe

We should like to ask those free sellers who
have taken such liking to Col. Benton, on &C
count of his recent speech, if free sellers were
like him, what sort of a chance there would b,
for cnactng the proviso over free territory in view
of the active opposition of the south. 1t strikes
us that free sellers ought to require in a leader
quite as much zeal in favor of their principles, as
they fad to contend with in those opposed to
them.
