PIEpMoNT--THE The
decree Of accommodation issued by the
Pope on the occasion of the PRONUNCIATION Of
the Convent Suppression Law, had given rise
to secret correspondence between his Holt
ness and the Sandman episcopacy. The
Bishops were often perplexed with regard to
the application of ecclesiastical penalties. A
definite answer has been at last come to by
the Court of Rome respecting the differen,
categories of persons who have incurred ex-
communication. These categories comprise
the Ministers, the members Of the Ecelesins-
teal Board, the agents of the public revenue.
the Mayors, municipal councillors, and the
workmen who took part in the different ex-
petitions against. the converts, the journal
lists who advocated the Ratazzi project, and
the signers of petitions to Parliament in It's
favor. Parish Priests are accordingly for
hidden to administer the sacraments to tina,
numerous class of persons, if they do nor
previously sign An explicit retraetion. Not
withstanding the excessive prudence with
which the clergy deported itself in this af-
fair, a serious collision between the civil and
ecclesiastical authorities is considered ineyi-
table.

which are quite readable. We copy few
lines from it,
Now saw mills crate in every forest mock.
Now spindies hum beside each mountain brook

And prairie flowers are crushed beneath the rAil
Where ocean rolled 80 trackless once and free,
The age of prose Stake forth and maps the sea,
And the swift lightning-once celestial lire

While patents flf the air, bestride the wave,
And dog us from the cradle to the grave;
Machines that rock asleep our intant cry,
Machines that wait upon our latest sigh

Live by machinery, and die by steam.

prosaic after DEATH our spirits then
Invent machinery to talk with men;
And rapping from the world beyond, disclose
New depths of dizziness and eternal prose.
No more the fairy queen, " in times OF night,

No elves by moonlight tread their dusky round,
And trace green circles ON the dew dropped ground
No spooks haunt chIrchyards, and no copse-h lights

No goblin checks the butter in the ehurn

The good old devil with his tail and horn
Poetic follies Of ayounger age
Wedeal in facts, more prosy and less sage;
For Shakspsare's spirit visits earth to tell
That he and Washington very well
And Iindley Murray from the body free
CAM make his verbs and nominatives agree
Ben Franklin raps idiotic dream,
And Webster serawls vile twaddls by the
That splendid knave, Lord Bacon, has turned fool ;
And penn's great soul Is busy keeping school
Well may the firing poet heave asigh
To think his spirit, stopping from the sky,
When he is dead can rap at mortal call
Bad rhymes and wrctched metre wall
Well may the hero shudder in despair,
Nhsse soul can choose to animate "a chair;
And the great states man sinking in the tomb
Can rise and wheel table round
Who knows how we, too. must join these hosts
OF silly, dull, disrepntable ghosts
How soon our friends and relatives must shed
Some decent tears and cut our spirits deaQy
And who viii work for character or fame,
When his ghost ruin his good name?

MKssRs. EDITORS: The Free State Conven-
ton that was called by proclamation, and the
delegates elected to which were to meet in
Topeka on Tuesday, the 23d inst, met ac-
oordingly. On Tuesday there was a bare
quorum present, and as the house in which
the Convention WAS to be held was not quite
in order, after the Hon. Judge Wakefield,
who was called to the chair, had called over
the list of names, the Convention adjourned
to meet next morning, at O'Clock.
On Wednesday, the oath, Convention as
sembled some twenty-eight delegates we're
present, and the convention organized by
electing Col. Lane, President Col. Lane

and voted FOR Douglas Nebraska bill, but
declares that it was forced through bv the
assurance that it would not send slavery to
the Territory. He is located at Lawrence.
from which he is delegate to this Conven-
ton; he is u strong free State man. The re-
mainder of Wednesday was consumed in COM
pleting the organization.
On Thursday the Convention met. and
there were thirty-two delegates present.
The Convention is composed of very intel
ligent and fine body Of men, and they are
quite business like in their mode of dispatch
ing business. About twelve more delegates
are expected TO arrive. This movement has
penetrated TO every corner of Kansas Terri
tory, and the true residents Of the territory
are awake to the questions before them
That three-fourths of the people living in the
Territory sympathize with this movement,
and Will take part in it, is a matter Of which
there can be no doubt. This is felt and i'd
United by many who have hitherto acted with
those who wish to introduce slnvery into the
Territories and there is disposition mani
Tested amongst these politicians to get over
the fence, as the present aspect of affairs in-
dicates pretty plainly that such policy will
not thrive in Kansas after this.
