The PORE VERSUS UNCLE TOMS CARIN-
We have always believed "Uncle Toms Cabin"
to be mischievous and heretical book; and. at
last, according to our European intelligence,
published yesterday, the Holy Father at Rome
comes ont and sustains our opinion by the pro-
hibition Of the sale or circulation of 'Uncle
Tom in the Papal States If this be so, we
should not be surprised if Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe and suite were to be warned out of the
Holy City of Rome should they attempt to
enter it; for if the book is so dangerous to the
faithful as to require its exclusion, how much
more SO must be the heretical individual who
wrote it. 1t would be a strange piece of bust
ness if our government should be called upon
to maintain the rights Of an American aboli-
ZIONIST in the city of Rome, after she has SYM
pathized and participated in the fanatical
movements of the vilest enemies in England of
her own country and its Institutions Yet such
thing may come to pass. With one eye upon
Uncle Tom, the Pope will most likely, keep
another upon the movements of Mrs. Stowe
Wonder if she is going to Rome?

The LEGISLATURE AND THE CANAL CUES
TIoN.-There is a prospect, we are told, that
we shall have compromise of some sort, in
some way, at some time, before the adjournment
of this extra session. If the Vanderbilt project
should fail, there is the plan of Mr.. Hadley; if
that will not do, there is the project of Mr.
West and, if none Of these will answer. we
must fall back again upon Mr.. Cooley, of the
Senate. We have great faith in Mr.. Cooley,
and we shall expect him to make his mark upon
this canal question. Let US not be disappointed

xR. SoULE AND OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.-It
hos been known for some days past that the
Spanish government had taken umbrage at the
appointment of the Hon. Pierre Soule as United
States Minister to Madrid, and that the journals
of that capital, representing the opinions of the
government, had proposed that he should not
be received there in such capacity.
The country and the administration have ma
turally felt much interested in the question,
and have been anxious to see what are the tone
and language of the Madrid papers on the sub
ject, since, no official communication Of the
appointment having been received by the Span
ish Minister Of Foreign Affairs, that government
could have made no direct representation to
ours at Washington
We are to-day able to crafty this general
curiosity by presenting to our readers the
translation Of an editorial article which has
appeared in the government organ of Madrid
Ell Diario EspanoLin which the political
character and antecedents of Mr.. Soule are dis
cussed in connection with the question. could
he be received as Minister at that Court without
sacrifice of national dignity and selfrespect
The Diario takes a wide survey of the whole
ground and considers fully demonstrated the
negative of the proposition.
With such determined hostility manifested
by the government Of Her Most Catholic Ma
jesty towards Mr.. Soule, it remains to be seen
whether the administration will cancel his APP
pointment, or if not, whether it is prepared to
throw down the gauntlet to Spain, and as the
first and most effectual method of exacting
redress for this and other insults, seize on the
ever faithful island of Cuba to the inexpressible
joy Of it's inhabitants and to the advancement
of the cause of civilization all over the world.
What says President Pierce, and how feels
Secretary Marcy Let the members of the Lone
Star Association "put their trust in God, and
keep their powder dry" There are glorious
times ahead.
