But In executing their high functions as conduct
ors of the public press they will not forget the dgn
~ nor the amenities due to their position. Union of
yesterday.
The above is extracted from the new
prospectus of the Union published in that
paper of yesterday, signed by Mr.. Richie
and his new adjunct, Mr. EDMUND BURKE,
late Commissioner Of Patents, whose advent
into the field Of political journalism, we cor
daily welcome. We say, we welcome his
advent into this field, because, whatever else
we may meet with from his pen, we are
sure, that the Union will hereafter contain
ideas, for the utter absence Of which it has
been distinguished since the 4th of March
last. But though our neighbor promises
well, under the new arrangement, if the
character of the prospectus is to be critic
rion of The manner in which the Union is
to be conducted, we fear, the junction of
the Archbishop and Bundlecund does not
promise much for the cause Of editorial Dig
nifty and amenity. In this prospectus, we
find President TAYLOR indirectly charged,
with ablcating " his high powers and his
responsibilities to an irresponsible cabal, I'M
der the name Of a cabinet" and directly ac-
cused Of attaining the highest honors,o by
making "promises and pledges, which he
has from incapacity to fulfil his high duties,
or from intentional design, grossly violated"
and of bringing disgrace upon the Presi-
dental Office" And we find also, in this
production, the Wing party charged with
getting into power "by fraud upon the
people," with having " most shamefully vio-
lated all the pledges which it made 10 gain
power" and with being the party that allies
itself with every foreign enemy, and is a
traitor TO the country If such be Messrs
RITcnIE & BURKE's ideas Of editorial Dig
nifty and amenity, we fear there is no hope
for the reclamation Of our contemporary
from the depths, into which its old editor
had suffered it to be plunged by the insidious
and heartless men around him.

~ The editor of the Union declares, that
he will not retract his charge against the

charge against Gen. TAYLOR, could not be
expected to Withdraw il

has done SO, and be viii be the last man 70
violate his promise. Congress and the judi
ciary will be left by him to pursue the tenoI
OF their course None Of the responsible
ties, which the constitution has assigned to
each department, will be interfered with by
the executive. He will not be a unumpirate.
He will not be Presdent-King. He will
execute the constitution and the laws, and
there stop. Congress will find itself occupy
ing a position, which it has not occupied
since the advent of JAcKsoN--that Of being
the supreme law-maker OF the federal Union,
so far as the provisions Of the federal charter
gives it jurisdiction III shall refuse to ex-
ercise its powers for the benefit Of its con-
stituents, it will be responsible, not to the
President or party, but to the whole peo-
pie. The federal judiciary, too, will find it
self more free in its action, than it has been
since the year 1928. II viii experience the
absence of that executive influence, which
has been exerted against and upon every
thlng ana every man, more OF less, direcily
OF indirectly, for the last twenty years. The
reduction Of the federal executive power to
its Just limits, is one Of the greatest reforms
needed by this republic, and the nation may
be assured, that it has President who will
effect it, come what may, happen what will.
He has not Invested, viii not divest, the ex-
ecutive office Of single one Of its just pow
ers, We hope the Union is lawyer enough,
now, to understand the legal meaning Of the
term .just--he will not dwarf it, has not
dwarfed it, as has been falsely charged, but
he will divest it of all usurpations, and make
it what the constitution and the laws have
made tho more, no less

THE BALLsToN RAILROAD DIsAsrER--A letter
dated 25ih, from Balston, says John Talmadge,
farmer residing in the immediate vicinity Of the
rairond disaster arrested this morning com.
plant OF T.. r. Sargent, Esq., Superintendent of the
Rensselaer, Railroad Company, for wilfully and mali
ciousy placing stones upon the track Of said Rail
road on the morning of the gath inst, by which the
locomotive, tender and baggage were thrown
from the trick and literally crushed pieces; and
seriously nlnrine the engineer Mr. Dodge, and Mr.
Cronk the fireman.
The facts brought ont on The examination of the
prisoner this afternoon were overwhelming against
him. He was held 10 bail in the sum Of $4,000 TO
appear at the next Oyer and Termner, which sits in
August next.
The persons injured are yet alive, but in a very
critical condition.
The Rev PEnnE CoNNELLy, chaplain to the Earl
Of Shrewsbury, has seeded from the Church OF
Rome. The circumstances connected with this case
are very curious. Connolly married a Philadelphia
lady in 1897, and he took orders in the Episcopal
Church. He and his wife visited Rome where they
became Catholics, separated and took vows of CELL
bacy The Rev. Mr. Connolly next became chap
lain to the Earl of Shrewsbury, and came over 10
England. Mrs Connolly left her convent also to
come TO England and take charge of religious es-
Enlistment. Mr.. Connolly then sought to have an
interview with his wife, which she refused. He
and got nothing by that motion-so he has filed a
bill for restitution OF conugal rights, and has re-
nounced the Roman Church, "A very pretty quar-
rel as 1t stands"

The Minister from the Roman Republic.
That well known and highly esteemed Italian
gentleman, Felix Foresii, resident Of this city for
about years, has just received the appointment
of Minister for the Republic Of Rome for the United
States. No other man could have been found so
well qualified for this honorable Office for which he
has been prepared, alike by his pure and exalted
character, superior edncaiion long of suf-
ierings in prison for his devotion TO the liberty Of
Italy, and an intimate acquaintance with our insti-
tuiions and society. No man has ever acquired
among us more extensive circle Of friends or CON
ciliaied more general respect for his accomplish
ments and virtues Being implicated in the affairs OF
Lombardy in 1920, he was condemned to mprson-
ment for life, and lay In the dungeons of Spelberg
fourteen years, with some Of the purest and noblest
patriots Of Italy, among whom he was conspicuous
for his equanmy and ndonitable spirit. He ar
rived here with Count Confaloieri and others, on
their release by Austria, under n sentence of per-
petual Punishment, and has ever maintained the
character Of warm, intelligent and disinterested
friend Of Italy whose cause ho has noby sustained
amidst all the changes of the world and the conflicts
