fully requested "to instruct the Minister of
the United States at the Court of Rome to ask,
as an act Of grace towards the Government and
people Of all persu asions of this country, to
restore the boy Edgar Mortara to his parents"
and, also, to endeavor to obtain a revocation of
that canon Of the Catholic Church, which, the
memorialists allege, empowers its adherents to
administer baptism to persons incompetent to
judge Of the nature of the ritual or who are
opposed to its administration. II this cannot
be effected, the memorialists desire that il may
be urged on the head Of the church to allow
baptism, administered under such circum.
stances, to be declared void, on the subse-
quent remembrance of parents, if the party
baptized be q child or of the person, if an
adult.
The memorial ELECTED the following reply
from Secretary Cass, from which it will be seen
that he regards the matter as one which this
Governmentc properly take cognizance of:

the settled policy OF the United States to abstain
from all interference in the internal concerns on
any other country. Certainly there is nothing in
the circumstances of this case, as they are re-
ported, which would impose this reserve upon
the government. But it is deemed proper to ad-

The NEW YORK DEMocRAcY.-The Journal
OF Commerce inclines evidently, to the opin.
ION that the Democracy must carry New York
In 1860. As an illustration of the manner in
which its calculations to that effect are made,
We quote it, as follows:
The Democratic party, although apparently
peter agreed upon general principles, is, never
