1t is no part of our intention to find any
fault with the spiritusl jurisdiction of the
Pope-but with that jurisdiction which af.
fects the rights of man-wc, as journalists,
claim freedom of opinion and freedom OF
language. Our sympatbies are with the
people; their will is to us the legitimate
law, and whenever, and wherever, and how
ever they strike in vindication Of or in the
assertion of their rights, we shall exclaim,
''God speed the blow.''

new going on in Snake Diggingsl
OMINous.--At q fete which took place at
Naples, on the 10th September, the Pope
was to have given apublic benediction. A
crowd was assembled to- witness the cere-
mony; when, just as the Pope was about to
make his appearance, a shot was heard;-
confusion ensued; two men were arrested
--on one Of them was found the discharged
pistol, and on the other, hand grenade
intended, no doubt. for his holiness, and the
King of Naples. It is truly lamentable,
that the conduct ofthe de facto Sovereigns
of Europe o5lige the people to have recourse
to private assassination to redress their
grievances. But so it is, and so it will be,
until The rights of tho people are respected.
1t is stated. that an old lady, in Iowa,
while recently in the woods, was bitten on
the end Of her nose by rattlesnake. The
woman recovered, but the snake died.
Lawrence (Mass,) Sentinel.
We know the old lady very we'll. She is
a woman ofcurious habits, and has shock
ing bad nose; enough to ruin any snake that
might accidentally, or by malice aforetho't,
come in contact with it. She but lately
emigrated to this State from the eastern
part Of Massachusetts,, and says she has
nephew, who is an Editor at Lawrence. We
suppose it must be he of the Sentinel.
