THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH


The following is one of Nacaulay's han
piest efforts. 1t is written as he always
writes, with a bold, dashing pen, full of
figures and strong reasoning and glowing
ideas:
"There is not, and there never was, ON
this Garth work ofhumanpolicy so we'll
deserving of examination as the Roman
Catholic Church. The history of that
church joins together the two great ages
OF human civilization No other institu-
tlon left standing which carries the mind
back to the times when the smoke of sa-
criiice rose from the Pantheon, and when
tame leopards and tigers bounded in the
tlavian amphithcatre. The proudcst row
al houses are but ofyesterday, when com
pared with the line of the Supreme Pom
iiis. That line we trace back in ap.;avys.-
broken series, from the Pope who crown
ed Napoleonin the nineteenth century to
the Pope who crowned Pcpin in the
eighth; and far beyond the time of Pepin
the august dynasty extends, tillit is lost
IN the twilight of fable. The republic of
Venice came next inantiquity. But the
republic of Venice was modern when COM
pared with the Papacy; and the republic
OF Venice is gone, and the Papacy re.
MANS The Papacy remdins not i'm de-
cay, but mere antique, but full of life
and YOUTH, yigor. The Catholic Church
is still sending forth to the farthest ends
OF the world, missionaries as jealous as
those who landed in Kent with Angus
tine; and still confronting hostile kings
with hessanle spirit with which she con
tronted -Attila. The number of her chill
dren IS greater than in any former age.
Her acquisitions in the New MorId have
more than compensated her FOR what she
has lost in the Old.
Her spiritual ascendcuey extends over.
the vast, countries which lies between the
PLAINS Of the Missouri and Cape Horn
countries, which, a century hence may
not improbably contain population rs
large as that which now inhabits Euronc
i'he members Of her communion arc Ger

That all tf1erother Christian sects unitcd
amount to one hundred and twenty mil.

Gates that the term of her LONG dominion
IS approaching. She saw the commence
ment of ali governments, and of all cccle.
s.astscal establishments that now exist il,
the world and we feel no assurance that
she is not destined to see the end of tbnn,
all. She was great and respected before
the Saxon had set foot on Britain bafo,.,

Grecian eloquence still fourished at An
t,,ocah-when idols were still worshiped il
the temple Of Mecca. And she may still
exist in undinihished yigor when some
traveller from New Zealand shall, in the
midst OF vast solitude, take his stand on
a broken arch of London Bridge to sketch
the ruins of st. PauRs. .

Evansville plank Road.

Hon. r. d Owen has given Us the details
of his trip to st. Louis, made for the purpose
of noticing the route proposed as that of the
Plank Road connecting Evansville and St.
Louis, and conversing W tn the people ofthat
city and along said route onthe subiect-with
his own views on the subject. 1t was propo
sed said road should run from Thu place to
New Harmony, thence through BelIevile to
St. Louis This city agreed through its
Council to complete the road to New Harmo-
ny, provided the citizens of Illinois and St.
Louis finished the remainder Mr.. Owen is
of the opinion, after much conversation with
the people along the proposed route, that bu1
little assistance can be obtained from them
They have not the means, even if they had
the will, to take probably one tenth of the
stock which would be required of them. He
is decidedly for abandoning that route, a.
we think he is right
Mr.. Owen proceeded from New Harmony
10 st. Louis by way of Carni, M'Leasboro'
Mt. Vernon. Nashville and BelevlIle He
found the country rich in all natural advan-
tages, good soil, easy grades for a road, and
excellent timber suitable for plank road
but the population sparse, the amount of SUI
plus capital very small and even less enter
prise than capital. At Belleville, the only
exception to this rule. he found the feeling
rather in favor Of terminating the presen
road from St Louis to that town, in the tow
nself than ofextendng it across Illinois
1t St Louis itself capital can be invested
in real estate with such certainty Of great anC
rapid advances, that there is little disposition
to irvesr in internal Improvements. Thus
though the present road across Southern Il
Iinois to ST. Louis is miserably poor one
there is little encouragement to hope that al
improved road will be constructed at the pres
ent time. In consequence, the Plank RoaC
from New Harmony westward and to which
twenty thousand dollars were. some week
since, subscribed in New Harmony, will prob
ably take anOrthwesternly direction, to Grays
Vile or to A lbon with the prospect of con
iinuation TO Olney or to Fairfield and will
he ultimate idea Of connecting with whateve
railroad may be first constructed either Il
Alton or St. Louis This section of llinoi
is rich and enerprising, and Plank Roat
thence to New Harmony, would open an i'm
portant and profitable trade.
Mr.. Owen has promised US some furthe
memoranda relative to the building Planl
Roads. &c, which we shall take the earlies
occasion to publish. He has been active ant
industrious in his Plank Road business. ant
deserves the gratitude ofthe public We be
ieve it is the policy Of Evansville to build. o.
assistin building, a Plank Road TO New Har
mony to unite with that proposed and subscri
bed for by her citizens. Then all the advan
tages realized by New Harmony in her road
will be felt by this city. while this section o
the road will augment the business of boil
places.
