o. $50 little faith has the Government of the
Vatican in the power Of maintaining order, that it
has distinctly told the Cabret of the Emperor of
the French that foreign army is absolutely neces-
gary in Rome, and that the withdrawal Of the
French garrison would compel the Roman Govern
ment to invite the Aaslrians to occupy their
place."
Or, in other words, the Pope finds himself COM
PEELED TO acknowledge that his people will neither
obey him, except they are compelled to by the in
terVentiou of bayonets and foreign oBes at that.
A pretty admission this, for the pretended success
scr of St Peter and how humiliating too, for him
who fills the chair once occupied by Gregory III,
and Boniface SIIL-the first of whom absolved
the subjects of the Emperor Leo lsaricus from
their allegiance, and the last assumed supreme au-
thority over Kings and Emper0ra, denying them
any power, except what they deriyed from him.
Just thuk of the successor of such naughty poten-
tates, whose DEGREES made the whole world trem-
bic, holding bis authority by 80 frail tenure.
Alssi for Pic Nino; his power is reproach and
by.word among the nations, and ichabod is written
in flaming letters upon his throne. 1t glGIes upon

We clip the above from the Nashville Christian
Advocate extracted by that paper from the Olive
Branch, journal strongly opposed to Popery.
few weeks ago we spoke of the temporal power Of
the Pope of Rene, as being comparatively, very
inconsiderable, and confned to very small terri
tory and therefore secuted at the idea of the peo-
pie in this country taking on as the KnowNothings
do about the danger to our liberties from the power
and influence of His Holiness. The Journal took
us to task for it, and thought the Popes temporal

who have allowed themselves to be scared with
Known othing nonsense shout Papsl influence,

HOPELESS CoSDIrGoN OF Ksow-NorHISGrsM In
GEORGIA. 1t is doubtful whether the followers of
the Dark Lantern in Georgia, will be able to or,
ganize sufficiently to make battle against the DEM
ocratic party in the approaching elections. They
are in beautiful state of confusion and disorder.
The surrender OF the sachems to Abolitionsm,
who assembled recently in Macon, have disguised
the few Southern Rights men who from some
strange delusion, found themselves sympathizilg
with the Order, while many honest and high-mnd-
ed Whgs are openly regulating it for reasons
given by Mr.. Stephens in the letter which we have
published. This leaves the Order with but a for
lorp terror. stricken and disconsoste ba ID of low
down, degenerate Wings and disafected, traitorous
Democrats, who are willing to sell their principles
for mess of Abolition pottage.
The Columbus Sentinel G Times, in sliusion to
the strength of the Subterranean, says:
"For six months they attempted to conceal from
the pubIjc the existence Of the order in Georgia.
Surprising they had strength enough to carry the
State no doubt, they ventured upon State Coun-
ell in Macon had ascerained to their surprise, we
learn. that there were not quite IA, 900 Know
Nothings in Georgia"
The Chronicle d Sentinel (Whig) gives glowing
of speeches delivered at Augusta by Messrs
Stephens and Tombs against Know-Nothngism;
placing their objections to it on the ground of its
prescription, its religious intolerance, its Abolition
applications, its secrecy, &c. And the Alabama
Journal, (Whig) referring to the same demonstra-
ion, says
Mr. STEPHENS IN THE FIELD AGAINST THE KNOW
NorHINes AS will be seen by the article below
rom the Augusta Chronicle d Sentinel, MIR. Steph-
Ems has revoked his determination not to run for
his seat in Congress, and has announced that he
will test the matter against the Know -Nothings,
md take the bull by the horns; Mr. Toombs also
addressed the meeting at Augusta, sustaining Mr..
Stephens opinions against the Know NothiDgs.
We observe, also, that the celebrated BAPTIST Cter-
rygnan, William Moseiy, is in the field against the
ecret order. This state of things removes the
he idea that the Know-Nothing organization is
Wig movement and acW leave no hope for the
rider in Georgia. We see already the signs of a
ocular stampede among the papers Of that faith.
