LATER FROM ROME.

The Concordat with Austria is not

Some of its dispositions have excited
grave objections in the Empire, and it
has consequently been remitttod by the
Emperor to commission for revision.
Austria has some eleven millions ofsub-
jects who are not Roman Catholics, and
they protest against the system of &c
clesiastical Courts for all trials in which
religion and conscience may be concern

peror, urging objections, and insisting
on the right of the Servians to complete

The Pope at Home.-I1is Holiness,
so profanely called, is no friend to the
Sabbath. Recently in the overlooking
of his benevolence, he determined TO ex-
tend aid to those who had been made
orphans by the prevalence ofthe cholel a
and he carried out his purpose not by
an appropriation ofhis own supertluities
but by authorizing lottery for The pur-
pose. This was sufficiently immoral.
but to crown the wickedness, the draw
ing was fixed for tho Sabbath This
gathered vast number of adventures
and idle people together, and the result
was, that panic and row followed. in
which large number received injur-
les.
Think of it, the infallible head of an
infallible church giving his direct coun-
Gil to gambling,--and gambling on the
Sabbath Had he done this in New
York or Philadelphia, instead of Rome,
the holy city, Mayor Wood or Conrad
would have placed him in a real, and
not fabulous limbo. This is the Pope
T Pias that is aiming to extend his domin-
ions over America! Better perish than
have such aspiritual ruler res6yte-
rfan.

The New York Tribune came out
lately in a long article upon the Pro-
hibitory Law, proving very conclusive
ly that the law of the land must be o.
beyed so long as it is a law.
The New York Herald seizes on the
Tribune's article approving it highly
and asks if the Prohibitory Law should
be obeyed, why not the Fugitive Slave
Law. The Philosopher of the Tri-
bune is fairly cornered.
