TIE CATHOLIC HIERARCHY AND THE BRITISH
PREss-The journalists of England are deeply
engaged in discussions and prophecies ON the in
fuences of the presence of car lina in that coun-
try An article, which we publish in another
colnmn. will show how the subject excites the
spirit and temper of the British press. II is unfor
tunate that the people of Great Britain should be
alarmed. They do not seem to understand the
very different position of the Popes power in this
age, and inghat Of the sixth, seventh or eighth
Harry. Instead of fearing the influence of the
spiritual monarch of tae world, they should en-
courage him to make himself perfectly agreeable
to himself and his friends. They have done as
much for Sambo, King of all Mosquito, and for
various other important monarchs.
Now, We, the people of the United States, have
very great regard for the Pope. We never under
estimate the importance of his position; and if
Mazzini raises in London those ten millions of
francs, TO drive Plus TX. out of Rome second
time, we hope the Pope will hurry over here, with
all his cardinals. We should like to see him in an
American Vatican, near the White House--if site
can be purchased for such purpose where he
might be of infinite service in bringing members of
Congress into that likeness and spiritual frame of
mind, SO necessary for the harmonious government
of a nation lmitessly elastic, if not ecclesastic
We doubt not, if the Peterpence should be
short, that our hotel keepers would be gratiied TO
make up princely sum, TO bring over and support
any quantity of cardinals, provided the pious
and kind. hearted Pope will honor our democratic
country with his presence. There is an equality
here that would suit the liberal views ofthe Pope
and the press and people will give him hearty
welcome, whenever he chooses to come.
The English press make altogether too serious
difficulty out of the presence of Cardidal WISE
man. We could have q cardinal here, in every
State, and no one would be distressed on account
of it. We should estimate them as so much
gain to the population; for, in this land every man
is worth something, in view of national wealth
Every man who leaves the country makes it so
much the poorer. With cardinal in every State,
we might calculate on thousand new immigrants,
anxious to live under his genial teachings. Thus
perhaps, we might gain thirty thousand souls,
and the country would be richer, on account of the
cardinals, by about three millions annually Each
man is worth hundred dollars to this country
So, England may take a lesson. She should
rejoice in being honored with a cardinal. IL will
add largely to her importance; and if the British
public will only initiate our hberality, they will
make themselves perfectly easy under their new
honors. In this age of enlightened thought, the
Pope has no power over the people that they Dc
not delight to enjoy; and we shall certainly think
the United States sighted unless we have car
dlnsl at Washington, at least during the tempes-
tuous sessions of Congress. We have had cabinets
that required absolution of their manifold sins; and
there are many members of Congress who will
confess TO no power short of cardinal. Will not
the Pope bear this country in mind We are very
tolerant, and can make much out of cardinal.
We have already taken five archbishops with
aacrity-Bishop Hughes, our esteemed friend,
MONITOR sage, brother, equal and fellow-ctizen, at
their head-and we can digest a cardinal, or
the Pope himself, with all the pleasure in life We
hope the Pope will come, or that we may have
Pope some way, by hook or by crook
