TO offer him ihdigni.ies in New York ex-
ciie indignation among the Catholics aud

Ihot insults may he offered him. His Wis
its was TO bill farewell TO the President

letters from Plus the Ninth an Cardinal
AnlonClle, his Secretary Of State.
IL has been n mat er Of modification and
surprise that a certain class Of people, a,

American organizations as well as in6del
organiza tions, should have conteuned not
only courtesy but law.

It compa ible with the public interest, n
copy of any correspondence which may
have taken place with the government Of
the Papal States touching mission TO
the United States.
Under this resolution Messrs. Cass
Mason, Butler, Dawson, Badger, and Ev.
eret addressed the Senate, in terms OF
condemnation of the spirit shich had
been manifested toward Bedini. General
Cass declared that he knew of no founda
lion for the rumors about Bedinl's asSas'
snations, ETC., OUT Of hich all this excite.
ment has grown. An intelligent friend
of ours, who has large library and full
of records Of all the transactions of ls4e
and lS49, in Ilaly, has searched in vain
for any hint or mention Of Bedini's i'm
plicnlion in the stirring times which ther
tried republican souls.
The Senate seemed to feel that the mob;
which had followed Bedin, were an us
sault on American hospitality, which i
was their duty to disapprove of. Mr.

ing from Paris, under date of Dec. 90
says:-
Here it is all useless to deny that al
amica BILE settlement is considered as al
but hopeless, and war on a large scale q:
all but certain. Public opinion is in this
respect the same, have reason to believe
rs that of the Government ;and as matters
approach nearer and nearer to q crisis
the most desperate efforts are made by
every partisan of Russia, native anc
French, and by her agents, from the
highest to the lowest class to create dis
cord between France and England. to ex
cite iealousies and hatreds which believe
no longer exist, and to throw doubts or
the good faith of both. These persons
are not discouraged or daunted by the il
success that has hitherto attended them
and they return to the task as if j. were
one of honor, of humanity, and of pa,rio
lism.

have sustained themselves in their mud

Slavery In Nebraska.

Leiisrwriiers from the Capital seein
tote unsnimo0s in the opinion that Doug.
las infamous bill for the organization ol
Nebraska, win pass both Houses. We
must confess some litle surprise al this,
though from the well known character oI
the men engaged in prosecuting il, we
should no, be.
Douglas, the prime mover in this affair,
has On eye TO the Presidency, and will
leave no stone unturned 10 effect that
end. The South must be concilisled, and
the Little Giant seizes this as favorable
opportunity. In utter violation Of the
compromises of the Constitution, and the
leading principles of the platform he stood
upon and defended so yociferously during
the last Presidential campaign, the slave.
ry agitation which has so often menaced
our Union, must be again revived, that
upon it he may ride to place and power.
TWAS supposed that the Missouri Com
promise had forever set at rest this gues'
zion, and Douglas and his compeers have
always, up 10 the present time. insisted
that such was the case. Oceans of "pat.
rio,ic eloquence" was spent to defend i.
as finali,y, when it was assailed by
Northern men, by these very sycophan!s
who now turn and trample upon it,
The North must look upon j, as a gross
outrage, and will brand the "things' who
can thus betray them. with an iatany as
lasting as that of Arnold's. II is too
great an insult to be borne tamely.
But it will not be without good results.
|, will awaken the people 10 sense Of
the loathsome corruption which pervades
the entire system of party politics, and urge
upon them the necessity of its abolition.
When they see the entire delegation of
.'Softs" from New York, and professed
Free Soilers from Massachusetts and Con-
necticut, bought by spoils, by present re-
wards and emolumenls in prospective, to
the support of bill so directly opposed
to right, reason and precedent, nay more,
directly opposed to all their former pledg.
es and professions, their eyes cannot but
be slightly opened. Such wrongs will
never be righted, until men learn to vote
