Advertiser says that the appointment has been
made in spite of all opposition. The important
fact was made known at Rome on the 10Th Octo-

without the appreciation, il not in the face of the
express protest OF all the Reman Catholic Bish-
ops of the Unite States, except one, and contra

The Miners Exnress of FRIDAY y..l s,,

ihe M'aef's Express OF Friday week says:
I'VE make the assertion and challenge con-
tradlchon from any quarter, that no such indvid-
nai As Nathaniel Greer of prominent political no
tesiety In Iowa. exists either in Iowa. Baltimore
or elsewhere. That he does not exist al this time.
and that he never did exist. That such an indi-
vidaat is wholly naknown to the Democracy of
Iowa, even as one OF It's most unpretrnding mera-
hers, to say nothing of his assumed elevation and
Importance"
OF course the matter is decided now beyond all
controversy. The Dubuque Express has spoken
by authority, and Mr. Greer is ''no where" AZ
ter thus he had better not show himself, or he
might be hanged as n wiGari--or at least prose-
cnted as being at the bottom Of the Rochester
knockinSs, He could not be believed, il he was

New movements for tho Presidency

Speculation is rife upon the subject Of the next
democ ratio candidate for the Presidency. That
portion of the party who were for Van Buren, in
1874. and who adhered to him in 1913 nctwith-
standing his detection to the cause of Gen'l Cass,
and who still regard him with the reverence and
affection they were accustomed to entertain for
him in the days of Gen'l Jackson, have no mean
estimate of their numbers and power, and are de-
termined to make themselves felt in the canvass
of 1852. They can never vote for Gen'l Cass;
they can never cordially coaIesce in the support
of Buchanan;--JudSe Douglas they regard as
new man seeking popularity and influence, and
therefore not to be trusted. Gcn'l Houston has
been completely killed off by the Donaldson and
Greer Correspondence" This section of the
democratic party numbers among its adherents
some of the most eminent names in the list Of the
great men of that party. Among them we need
only mention Martin Van Buren,. Thomas III.
Benton, VIM O. Butler and Francis p. Blair
These men possessed at one time an influence in
the party TO which all others were forced to yield,
and as we have said they are determined that
whatever of it is left shall be exerted to defeat
the aspirations of some of those who consider
their chances for the Presidential Chair in 1852
as more than certain. Francis p Blair has late
y been, aud is perhaps still on an electioneering
tour in Kentucky, using all his influence in favor
at Gen. VIM o. Butler for the Presidency. Lynn
Boyd has also been taking an active part for Gen.
Butler, aud the locofoco party in the Legislature
Of Kentucky have given him the highest vote for
L. $, Senator that any democrat has ever receiv.
Cd in that State. This shows that the democracy
of that State will 20 for Batter even though he
may be the choice of the Free Soilers under the
lead of Van Buren,, Blair l. Co.
Gen, Butler will be one of the strongest and
most formidable candidates before the Baltimore
Convention. His ability to command the Free
Soil vote will not be overlooked by that body
II will give him aa advantage that is not to be
aespiSea, and that many of his rivals would be
proud to possess. Lynn Boyd, one Of his starmeh-
est supporters, is candidate for the Speakership
of the House Of Representatives, This Is part
OF the plan OF those who are manrnvrn- 10 re-
Sncta'e themselves from their broken down con-
dnton. II Is further said that Mr. Benton and Mr.
Van Buren, have both been consulted and have
given in their adhesion to the plan. The Missou-
ri Republican calls II Free Soil, Abolition plan
that bodies no good TO Buchanan, Cass or Doug
las. Mr. Ben,oa's return to Missouri is no doubt
connected with this movement in favor OF Gen'l
Butler, aud few months win perhaps shew us
some new revelations in the ar: of making can
didates FOR the Presidency.

- The letter of our New York Correspond
ent "CoNMuNlrAw," in this days paper, will Of
course receive the attention Of our readers, win
the Miners Express presume hereafter 10 deny
that MIR Greer" is 4 real parsonage, or to chal-
lense contradiction OF its assertions that .'Such
person does not now exist and never did exist ?''
1t is all very we'll for the democratic press To try
and create the impression that Nathaniel Greer
is fictitious parsonage. They would like very
well to set out OF the difficulty into which they
have been led by their too hasty zeal TO secure
the cooperation of the Free Soil party of the
North in the election Of democratic President
even though that President should be Sam Hous-
ton, of Texas.
The meeting Of the "Dcmocratic Central Com
mittec" at Washington. some time in December
will we trust throw some light on the question of
Mr. Grecr's identity. Mr. Greer will attend that
meeting, at which time no doubt, he will be able
to give satisfactory explanation of the manner
in which the correspondence" came 10 see the
light.
The inhmahoa of "Cemmunipaw" that the
politicians of Iowa knew more of the mystery
hanging about Mr. Greer and the reasons of il,
than they are willing to tell, is no doubt correct
As il is rumoYea that Gen, Van Antwerp met
with Mr. Greer during his visit to the east and
had an interview with him, and conversation on
confidential matters, why does he not come for
ward and remove all doubts Us to MIR Greer's en-
istcnce2 The General is thought to belong HIM
self, to the Free Soil section of the democracy,
and his sympathies may be supposed To coincide
with those of Mr. Greer, Why should he suffer
him then 10 lay under the unjust suspicion of be-
Ing 'nohoay"2 Is it true that Mr. Greer Is to be
a delegate at large from Iowa TO the National
Convention?
Another question arises when speaking of per-
sonations and humhugs--Who is DR. Liebp Is he
commissioned by the democracy Of Iowa TO 80
east and connterplo. against Nathaniel Greer and
in favor Of James Buchanan? Who authorized
him 10 present to that gentleman the hickory cane?
This should be inquired INTO, The free soil de-
mocracy had better hc on the alert
As Wings we take but slight interest in these
matters, They do not very nearly concern us
We understand enough, however, of the trap in
which the democracy have been caught by the
publication OK the correspondence" to know
that they are very ready now to induce the pub
lie TO believe that there never was such man in
Iowa as ''Nathaniei Greer" and that the letters
from him, published in the papers. are all hum
