! How TO SUSTAIN THE PoPEr--An Irish
editor of a Roman Catholic paper Is about to
settle matters in Italy without any more
trouble. If the French troops are withdrawn
lie will raise twenty thousand 'bolld soger
boys to 60 to the assistance Of his Holiness,
and he is quite sure that half million of
dollars can be raised in this country and in
Europe, annually, 10 sustain this army This
would be just $25 year for the support OF
each man. Our SHIRE of the contribution
is to be 100000. The whole programme
| will be found in the subjoined article:
| AN IRISH GUARD FOR THE PoPEsThe
| Dundalk Democrat q furious Ultramontane
Journal, makes forgetting the Foreign En-
listmeut Act,l ludicrous proposition OF
raising an army of Irish for the Pope. 1t
writes: Thousands upon thousands Of our
young men 60 into the English army, and
prove faithful to their enemy; and it would
he strange, indeed, if we could not muster
twenty thousand of them who would enlist
under the banner of Plus IN, and prove the
devoted defenders Of their illusirious friend.
! With brave and chivalrous army in Rome
and the States of the Church, who would drive
away the rabble ofcut throats and enancipate
the subjects of the Pope from their outrageous
tyranny, peace would be restored to the mnd
Of his Holiness and safety to lis person and
he would be left in quiet and security to at
tend to the duties Of his high and holy mis-
sion, in directing the affairs of the Church,
whose children are scattered over tho world
Money would also lie required. and that
| would be forthcoming. The Catholics of E.
urope and America would easily contribute
| E100,0 900 year to sustain the army of Rome.
We should say Ireland would pay Il tribute
Of f10 900 year; England, $4,000; France,
600 Spain, e10,0O0; Portugal, $4,000;
Austria, EGO, 900; Belgium, $4,000; Prus-
sia. other Continental States, and America,
f2o, 900 Canada, $4,000; making grand
total at t 100, 900 to maintain true and faith
full Irish army in the Eternal city. for the pre-
s"rvation of the Vicar Of Christ from the ruff
fan hands of his Infidel enemies. As to Ire
| lands portion of the tribute, 10000, it
| could be made up by 200, 900 persons paving
shilling each, or 100000 persons paying
ID, or 1000 parishes paying f1O each. At
all events it would come very light if il were
sustained by all the male Catholics in the
country over ten years Of age.
This would be the proper wav to svnpa-
thise with his Holiness, Eienaced as he is by
who threaten TO lay their sacrilegiolis hands
on the patEmony Of The Hol ly SEES II is the
way in which Plus TX showed his heartfelt
| sympathy tor Ireland in the day of her af-
fiction. when one million of human beings
were permitted to die in tho midst OF plenty.
If the Emperor Of the French heard that
Catholic Ireland felt indignant at his mex
plicable conduct, we may be certain that a
great deal oi good might be effected. Under
all the circumstances, we thiuk the time has
come for Ireland to speak out--for an aggre-
gate meeting to be held in Dubiin-the most
Rev. DR.. Cullen occupying the chair-and
Tor meetings through the provinces, to sym
pathise with his Holiness--to collect funds
and recruit an army for the defence Of his
liberty and the stability of bis throne.
A Worn FOR THE RIGHT.--The cloud of

New York pulpits, has been relieved by
CLEAN Of sunshine from Rev. Dir. Resington
the Episcopal minister of Calvary Church.

Sunday night, he said
