HIsuER LAW DocrRIxH OF Tae PAPAcr.
The Ha:risburgh Herald says:
Its rclatoI of Dr.. De Burth. the Jesuit
Priest and Vicar General of Pennsylvanr
is, that when told by a brother that he
could not take the oath Of naturalization to
America without violating the oath Of or
dination to the RomIn Poltif, he %prououn-
cad it mistake, and promptly remarked
that any part Of tho o7th Of allegiance to
this coua;ry which may be incompatible
with theJ:rst and greater allegiance to the
Pontii's of no Obligation, This is the
higher law doctrine Of Papscy. Itleads
to perjury agsins! the Priest, or to treason
and rebellion against the State, But what
if ii does? Perjury, treason and rebellion
oaneasily be paraoned for the good of the
Church, and a temporalpenal.y can be bet
ter borne than eternal pardition. The
pardoning poTer Of the President of the
United States does not compare with the
pardoning power Of the Pontilf and his
priests. II is a humiliating spectacle that
three millions of tie American people
should be under thu authority Of Q distinct
sovGreigns. Processing attachment to the
Constitution Of their country, their hearts
are Corded, spiritually and temporarily, to a
foreign poten!atc. -

NATfvErsM IN IRELAND.-It will be seen
by the following extract, says the..New
Orleans Creole, that Irishmen advocated
tho Native principles many years ago.
Daniel O'Connell once said. "Lct English
rule Eagland-Frcnchmsn. Frsnce-Scotch
men, Sco,land--and in the name Of God,
let Irishmsn rule Ireland" The "head
and front Of our offending" is, that we
claim, also, that it is right "Amerieans
should rule America"

The New York Express says the debut Of Ra-
chel was victory by general consent, but not ex-
acty an American victory as yet, for as writer
says: " In all sections Of the theatre there was
large admixture Of foreigners, amounting to one
half, at least, of the aggregate attendance But
nevertheless, the victory is achieved even in for
eign language upon the American mind. The pan
tomime, the air, the attitude the eye that lights
up and the soul that speaks through that eye talk
better than any English tongue Our own city tos.
is not yet in town, but lingering at the watering
places and in their country seats Nevertheless,
when they return, they win not only swell the
general voice, but add thereto, the touchstonc Of
" fashion also. Rachel has conquered already the
difficulties and dangers Of speaking to an audience
in foreign tongue, and her future is secured by a
style of acting which speaks ten thousand times
louder than words. The audience, if not of the ton
was intellectual, discriminating, and among the
very best educated people of the city.
