FRED DOUGLASS THR New
York Globe. under the head of "unblnsh-
ing impudence and merited punishment,
gives the following account of what hap
pened on Friday last, in Broadway:
Fred Douglass, the impuden; negro
who has of late taken upon himself the
privilege of abusing our country. its
Patriots and Constitution, without having
that chastisement which he so richly
merited at the hands Of our Republicans,
who would condescend to notice his bias
phemy and negroisms, had the audacty
Yesterday to walk down Broadway, the
principal prominade in our city, with two
white females resting on his arms. Seve-
raj citizens who had witnessed this dis
graceful scene, followed the impudent
scamp to the Battery. On observing
that he was watched, the negro COM
menced laughing and sneering at the
gentlemen who were behind him. One
of them could not withstand the provnk-
ed and justifiabse temptation to award to
the negro that punishment which his
daring rascalty had subjected him to.
The gentleman stepped up to hum and
politely requested the females to leave
their ebony companion and place them
selves under the protection of gentle
man who was standing near by. The
women very quietly did as they were
desired to do, and then the indignant and
insulted gentleman administered to the
back of the negro "dressing" that he
will have occasion to remember some
time hence Maddened justice forgets
the dictates of law in case OF this kind;
aud personally we can see no reason why
it should not"
We feel much obliged to the Indignant
gentleman" who administered the punish
msnt; but what commentary does the
proceeding furnish upon the conduct of
the Northern people towards the slave?
They denounce slavery-asslst fugitives
to escape-aud spend much breath and
but little money for the amelioration of
the black race; and yet when they see a
colored "gemman" acting upon the princi-
plies of equality for which they contend,
and escortIng one of their own "kith and
kin" through the streets. they follow him
aud horse W hip him for 1t? But we repeat
we are heartily obliged to the New
Yorker for giving Douglass "dressing;
and while his hand is in, We would be
glad if he would do the sane with Garri-
son, Phillips, and other bosom friends of
Douglass among the whites.-SdU. Rep.

ITALY-Attemapt to co1avert the Pope
R0nee, May 2.-One of the most interest
ing occurrences of last week was the IN
terview of Rev. Dr. Townsend, Canon of
Durham, withs-tho Pope L mentioned
ill a previous letter that the Rev. Dr. s
object was to endeavor to induce MS
holiness to do away with the chickering's,
aninosities and polemical discords which
keep the various denominations of Chris
tians separate and at enmitv, and, by
calling a general council to establish The
basis of an universal creed 1t was GER
tainly a bold attempt for a Protestant
clergyman to convert the Pope himself,
but the doctor was resolved to beard the
lion in his den, and on Friday last he
went to the encounter in full dress canon
icaIs After having knelt to kiss the
Pope's hand, DR.. Townsend was invited
by his holiness to take a chair, and an
animated conversation commenced in
Latin, a fit language for controversy. and
one in which the disputants might be pre-
sumed to be match for each other
The Pope was, upon the whole, very
tolerant, as may be imagined from his
having not only listened with calmness to
DIR. Townsend's arguments i'll favor of
releasing the Catholic clergy from their
vow of celibacy, but also assured him
that he entertained serious ideas Of adopt
ing such a plan in the early part of his
reign, especially after having received
pressing letters upon the subject from
Germany, but that, in the present state of
Italy, and indeed the whole continent
any innovasion on his part would be
dangerous, even if he had the power TO
act freely, which he had not being by no
means the free agent that he was on his
first accession to the throne. The same
object would prevent him from calling
general council, or attempting to unite
the great and divided family of Christians.
although he fully admitted the gran
deur of the scheme, protesting his own
desire for peace and harmony, and wepl
at Dr. ToWESend's enthusiastic picture OF
England recognising in Pho Nino the
head Of Universal church. Alter three
quarters OF all hours discussion the rever-
end canon took his leave, placing in the
hands of his holiness document contain
ing the principal heads of his argument,
Which appears to have made some i'm
preston on the pontiff's mind. Judging
from the fact of his having sent to the
doctors residence on Sunday last, only
two days after the interview. requesting
to he made acquainted with the period OF
DR.. Townsend's return, (he has just gone
10 Naples,) as he should then like to have
some more conversation with him.
