The supremacy OF tIle Pope.

The Wilmington journal, Democratic and Anti
American print for the purpose Of dsproving the ale
CATION that the Roman Catholics claim for the Pope
preme power temporal princes, gives quotation
from the late letter Of o. A. Brownson 10 Hugh j..
Davis, esq. of Wauenton originally published in the
Warenton IN. CD News. The Journal quotes as
from the Worcester Mass.) News but the passags is
Identical word for word with that in the letter to Mr.
Davis. The error in the credit may have been only
mistake though it has appearance of an attempt
a, deception. Whether originated with the Journal
or not does not appear; but the paragraph has no
credit attached il, the responsibility is with the ed
tors Of the Journal until thcs discIlm it, The follow
ing is the extract 10 which We allude:
I" In matters purely temporal. l. as Ca
,holc. owe no obedience to the Pope. because
he has received from Jesus Christ no aulhn-
rty a. a temporal sovereign over me. lie
