been blsckered With Foreign Armies, al hostile
t. the Repubc. all sent to AID in the restoration
of the Pope's sovereignty. AT east two OF these
Armies nov occupy Romsn cities in great force
AID their leaders would gladly iomeot and reward
any public expression Of their citizens IN favor OF
the Popes sovereignty and against the Republic
Ia view Of the strong probability that Rome must
speedily succaTnb how easy II must be 10 get up
anti Republican demonstrations in Ciyita Wee
CHA Bologna. &c. If there were not an immense
majority friendly 70 the existing Republic Why
IL i, that Oudiaot aud bis Austrian oompeer can
elicit 30 Roman call for the Popes restoration
throughout the lately Papal states Grant that
Rome Itself IS under terror as it doubtless is, but
through earof her external not internal foes, Why
Is il that the Legations keep silence We hear
Of peasants gathering from every quarter and
So armiDg the roads leading 10 Rome, all going to
fight for the Republic not one for the Pops-and
tins on the anti Republican authority Of the Lon
don Times Have We sdvices that single regl-
ment has been mustered frem the entire Three
Millions OF Roman People to fight for the Pope s
restoration to temporal sway
-Bp Hughes concludes by assuring US that the
Pope and Cardinals need food and clothing, like
other men, aud need money wherewlih to buy
them That IS very true and We deem 1t not only
proper but essential that Catholics generally should
contribute to relieve their necessities. Their
Offices aud duties being universal there is not and
never was any reason for making their support a
charge upon the Roman People alone We trust
We may say this without being held as deciding
that the Pope Is the Vicar Of Jesus Christ, the
Man OF SIM. or something different from either
IL the dearest dictate Of Justice that those who
devote their lives to the diffusion Of Spiritual WIS
dom and consolation should be fed aud clothed by
those who solicit and enjoy their services. As a
call upon Catholics for temporal assistance to their
Spiritual Head, we consider the Bishops requisi-
ton cminenty fitting and we trust he will have
occasion 10 renew 1t from time to time till, in q
ripe old age he shall be gathered to his fathers
But the terms employed by the Bishop In his
Circular seemed very clearly to breathe hostility
to the Roman Republic and we, utterly uncon-
scious OF giving oaense preiaced the Circular as
above shown. And now we cannot suppress a
painful apprehension that the money contributed
on this occasion will be received by the Pope as a
manifestation Of sympathy with him III his resist
ance to the Roman Republic-ss allying the donors
with the Austrian, n politsn, Spanish and shame
to them , French legions now gathering to crush
the Roman effort for se.f.government. Grant that
hp. Hughes does not mean this, Though we surely
supposed he did how will the Pope, how will
Europe how will Rome regard it And will it
not be mourniul spectacle, that of the Republic
ans Of America sending off gold to be used how
ever intended in crushing the infant Republic Of
Rome Does it become the history and the atti-
tude OF this Nation to send out the first palpAble
manifestation Of it's sympathy in the great Euro
pean convulson Of our time to be used in such
o,npany and to such ends Pause and consider
