The Temporal Power of the Pope.

l
We published, recently, the most startling evil
dence, from Browhson, the editor of the Roman
Catholic Quarterly Review, that the Pope claims
the exclusive right Of dissolving the allegiance
which citizens owe TO their government and the
constitution and laws. To this we now add further
testimony of the teachings of the Church of Rome
on this subject:
The present Pope, Plus TX in his allocution to
the Cardinals in September, 1851, said:
That he hath taken this principle for basis that
the Catholic religion with all its rights ought to be
exclusively dominant in such sort that every other
worship shall be banished and interdicted."
The Primate Of Ireland says to the Catholics of
the United Kingdom
Our venerable hierarchy and clergy, In the full
flment Of their duties, will inculcate the strict
and religious duty of selecting as representatives
of the people those men who are best fitted TO
support in the Imperial Parliament our religious
rights.
There declarations are more than significant
They are conclusive. Comment Is unnecessary.
It is sufficient to submit them 10 the notice Of
American freemen.

being taken In several Of tho Eastern States, indi-
Gates that the emigration to the West and Cafor-

the agricultural counties, at many points there Ia
an actual decrease, in others but slight increase.
