TIE POPE,s NUyCIO,

Bedini, the Pope's Nuncio or Legate, sent to
this country by his Infalibility, the Pope of
Rome, to see to the interests of his Church here,
seems to have met with so much of Haynau
sort of reception, as to have determined him to
cut short his VISIT and fly, as he is about to do,
back to the more congenial atmosphere of his
own despotic home In addition to the general
dislike of our people of the interference, politi
cal or religious, Of foreigners in our affairs,
there is another cause for the demonstrations Of
indignation with which he has been everywhere
greeted. Bedini was the principal instigator,
in the Italian revolution, of the revolving Cru
cities inflicted on republican priest, whose
head and hands were first entirely skinned, and
then he was turned oyer to the Austrians and
shot
Bedini was mobbed and burnt in effigy, first
at Cincinnati, then at Philadelphia and they
are now preparing to do him the same honors
in the City Of New York, on the eve of his de-
parture. What will be done about it! We
know not; but we would respectfully suggest
to this High Holiness of Rome, to issue instan-
ter Bull of such tremendous wrath and pow
er as shall, with one fell sweep, send the whole
United States into Purgatory. The punishment,
if the power were equal to the will, would be
signaIIy characteristic.

The DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IN OHIo-The
Ohio Democratic Convention, which was held at
Columbus on Saturday, January It'll, was look
ed forward to with considerable interest by the
democrats of that state The action of the
convention in regard to the Baltimore platform
and the administration of President Pierce was
anticipated with great anxiety. The Daily
COLUMBIAN, Of Cincinnati, furnishes report Of
the proceedings at the convention, and says:
cater very slight tribulation the demo-
Gratis of Ohio did endorse the Baltimore plat
form, and did declare the administration of
Franklin Pierce to be such one as they could
heartily approve. In the discussion on the res
olutions defining the anti-freesoil portion of the
Ohio democracy, delegates from the Western
Reserve vehemently protested. They held that
they could not accept the Baltimore platform,
because it closed their mouths on the slavery
question-they would talk. They were voted
dewn."
We had thought better things of the Ohio
Democracy, who last year repudiated the Bal
timore Platform, the only portion of the Ma
tienal Democracy that had the independence to
doat. But they too have shamefully c,rved in.
We'll let them 60, and let all go, who prefer
this quintesscnce of Old Federalism, to the truly
Democratic doctrines of the Pittsburgh Plat
form But we hope they won't much longer
insist on the meckery of calling themselves
Democrats.

olution for admitting Mr.. Phelps to seat in

Legislature intended that Mr.. Phelps should
hold over, and, Of course, that they never meant
any new one should be elected. If Mr.. Foot
did not mean this, he made FOOLS argument.

at least as relates to the Vermont Senate, who
could and did control the whole matter. he as
we were fully satisfied at the time, was warrant

This with the Wings in the U. S. Senate was
good argument, and the South wanting Mr..
Phelps for their purposes, and acting in concert,

against all precedent, has been admitted TO his
seat.
Nh. Foot 1t is due to my colleague that
should briefly make an explanation to the Sem

cacy and embarrassment Of his position. AL
though he may be apprehensive of an appear-
ance ofobtrusiveness in resumng his seat here he
is but acting in obedience to the dictates Of a
sense of obligation to the people of that State

this floor, and which may be allowed to saw
