RICHMOND PALLADIUM.
rhu-.day Morning. :::::November &c. 1855.
1z.- The Delinquent List, takes up nearly
all Tia room this week. and we are therefore
compelled 10 omit our usual variety. The is

usual hour, in consequence Of it. publication.
The conclusion of Judge Perkins "free

page. His most overwhelming argument is
unique ("eunuchl")
We will commence next week the pubiica-
ton Of the argument Of the Attorneys for the
prosecution in the Becbe case. II is mas
seEly and unanswerable document.
81 One column on orr fourth page, is set
spar. for educational purposes each week.
This No. contains something interesting to
tobaeco users-the "much abused and SLAM
dered plant" is used up and its strength ex
pressed in a very decided manner. and. like
our prohibitory law. it is declared to be uneon

notice and govern themselves accordingly
TEMPORAL Power or THE PopE-Our
neighbor Of the JEFF. evidently has not seen
the pas .orial letter of the Archbishops and
ifhops 81 the Province Of Saint Louis, or
he probably would have published and called
our attention to IL as he did the Cincinnati
letter, 70 convince US that Roman Catholics in
this country did not claim temporal power for
the pope
For tear that it may have escaped his notice
we give an extract, in order tilal 10 may com.
pare Tie TWO together.
q ne Dai,,toin Me superiority Of tie spirit
ua! ouer Tie temporal order. We maintain
that the temporal ruler is bound TO conform
his enactments TO the Divine law. We main
tain that the Church is tie supreme Judge Of
all questions concerning faith and that, in the
determination Of such questions, tie Roman
Pontf, as Ficar Of Jesus Christ. constitutes
hibon1l, from Which there Is no appeal and
to whose award all the children Of the Church
must yield obedience"
Both spiritual and temporal allegiance are
here claimed to be binding alike. and i. is the
true doctrine OF the corporation, which if any
Catholic dare gainsay. he subjects himself,
according to Innocent Xth, to the "severest
punishment" These Archbshops and Bish-
ops Of tho Province Of saint Louis" in
council assembled. pay some regard to that
oath, and unlike the Bishops assembled at
Cincinnati, did not deem it polite to ellie for
the sake of ecclesiastical utility"
In one Of his articles. our ncighbor says:
"They (the Cincinnati Bishops) may ack-
nowledge the obligation of said oath, but it
is ridiculous to pretend that Catholics gen.
orally hold to their abused. antiquated dog
mas" Thus, he half way admits the point
we aimed at, that the teachings Of these bish
ops, il hey regarded their obligation to the
pope. are right the reverse of what they set
forth in their pastoral letter. But the plea
''sslat Catholics generally do not hold to their
abused, antiqus.ed dogmas. is no. Only ride
ulous, but shows that neighbor is either
ignorant of the government of the Romish
Corporation, or he did it for the purpose of
tickling the ears Of his Roman Catholic rea-
ders. The government of that church is com
pletely centralized-all. from the laity to the
Bishops, bound up in what he sensibly terms
absurd, antiquated dogmas," and, with the
fear of Accommodation kept constantly before
their eyes. they can and are led to do any
thing they are commanded to do by their SUI
periors. Even here i'll Richmond, an instance
occurred during the canvass for Congress.
when Mr.. Parker was running. going to show
what Influence priest possesses and exer

Parker, and he exercised his prisstly office
for the purpose Of preventing that calamity.

did vote for him. Another instance occurred
at Hagerstown. in this county, which is ia

Presidential election. several Irish Catholics
in that neighborhood had determined to vote
Cor Gen. Scott-an "old liner" however, wrote
to Mr. Elder about the Union being threatened
by SO great q misfortune, and he sent up the
Catholic priest. who ''ssved the Union BY
his labors amongst them. and every IRISH,
