New YORK, May 80, 1858.
To the Editor ofthe Boston Journal:
Mr.. Cass, our Minister at the Papal
Church, has resigned. In that resigna-
ton there is more than meets the eye.
Long before the Inauguration of Mr.. Bu-
chaDan, this thing was resolved upon,
and Mr.. Cass had but one alternative
resign or be removed. Some years ago
Mr.. Cass rendered signal service to the
Pontif at Rome. The rebellious chill
dren of the Pope, who daily kneel to him
for his blessing, undertook to take the
government of Rome into their own hands
Among other recreations these beloved
children resolved to tear down, or other
wise destroy, the Vatican. In this ex-
tremity Mr.. Cass was appealed to, to in
terfere. He was told that the combined
flags of England, France and Austria
could not save the time hohored pile
He was requested to remove the Ameri-
can Consulate to the Vatican, raise over
it the American flag, and thus the build
ing would be saved. After much hesita-
ton, Mr. Cass did so. The end justified
the prediction. The American flag was
respected, and the Vatican saved from
the rage of the Red Republicans. As a
reward, Mr.. Cass was allowed some ex-
elusive privileges. Among others that
of holding Protestant worship in the
American Consulate, within the walls of
the city. The Pope comes to America.
He demands a place here to build a
church for his children, and he demands
protection for them in their worship.
And he has it.
But he allows no one to worship God
after the manner that he calls being
within the walls of Rome. Proud, i'm
perious, Protestant England has no
chapel within the walls of the City of
Seven Hills. She worships outside of
the gate, Or avails herself of the Ameri-
can flag and the American Consulate to
teach Christ half day within the
walls of Rome. The favor shown to
Mr.. Cass is one of dangerous potency
the example is bad. 1t cannot well be
taken away while Mr.. Cass is at Rome,
and his recall was early resolved on; and
as soon as this was known, an effort was
made to have Mr.. Cass retained. Gen
tlemen visited Washington Gen. Cass,
the Premier, was seen. He aOdS po1Cer-
{eSS-he could not save his son. He
knew that his son must either resign or
be recalled. 1t was feared, and is now
proved, that Mr.. Masters, the editor of
Bishop Hughes, organ in this city, would
be the successor of Mr.. Cass. 1t was
piteous to see how feeble in power Mr..
Cass was how he wanted to save his
son, and could not. Soon after the in
auguration, ! notified the readers of The
Journal, that Mr.. Cass must leave his
post and though strong influences were
made to have Mr.. Cass retained, it was
all in vain, and now the resignation has
come. Some jealous Catholic or some
timid Protestant-one opposed to Pro
testant worship in Rome, or Indifferent
to it, will be appointed, or some one to
whom the Pope is under no obligation
will succeed him. And the chapel for
Protestant worship will be closed at
Rome, and England will be content to
squat outside the gates of the Eternal
City to worship God and the Ameri-
can people will tamely submit to the in
dignity of having Goddess Consulate
But for the existence of the American
chapel at Rome, and the obligation Of
the Pontiff to Mr.. Cass, that allows the
worship, the influence of Gen. Gas.
would have been sufficient to have KEEP
his son in office. But Bishop Hughe:
is mightier than Gen. Lewis Cass, ant
nomination not distasteful to Plus TX
