the most sensible part of this republican community
will be disposed to ridieule and laugh at his folly
and presumption. The free and independent press
of the United States could easily keep tho entire
Conclave in perfect orde If they should ever change
their location from Rome to New York. II a car
dipal violated any positive law he would have no
privilege from position; he would be indicted or
sued for a libel for assault and battery, for
obstructing the public Streets or for any other Of
fence. and be hauled up before Justice Mountfort
or Recorder Tallmadge, and obliged to give bail,

who renders himself amen able to public justice;

AS most of the English laws are similar TO ours, it
il entirely incomprehensible to many Of the Ameri-
can people, how and why Cardinal Wiseman's
appointment could have caused 30 much
fright In England; for, if the Grand Sultan
chose to send respectable Turkish Mufti hther,
he would be welcomed and treated Hospitality as
such stranger should be, as long as he conducted
himself with propriety, and nobody would be
scared, and not single feather Of tho American
eagle rufied. The secret of the alarm in England
is not an enigma to those well acquainted with tho
real corditon and feelings of the there, and
with the true position of the British government.
There is cause for apprehension by tho latter in
every agitation. The English Church Is part Of
that government.
No church can ever, and no priest or Clergyman

or authority, ptrtae o0icii, u the United States

church discipline and under church laws are volun
taIy, merely. Beyond expulsion from membership
and communion, according to the rules of the
church, the laws of the land do not sanction lhem
and even as to the nction Of the punishment ofex
pulson. municipal laws and our courts Of Justice
may exercise salutary supervisory restraint;-for
exeCu u uncations, and anathemas, aad in5erdictS
may be carried to such extent, and DO pat in such
form, as to become libes and conspiraces to njure
the person against whom priestly prejudice
mslignity may direct them.
