The RIGHT OF PETrrIoN.--The recent arbi-
traJy conduct of the police, in Selling petition
int nded for Congress, has excited good deal
Of indignant commentary on the part of the
press. The proceeding, it must be owned, is
rather q highhanded one for republican
country. The constitution guarantees the right
of petition, and we know of no state of things
the existence Of martial law not excepted
which can take it from the citizen We must be
mindful that we do not initiate the acts of the
South, where all law is suspended and rebellion
iustifes the most outrageous excuses of power.
A proper vigilance is one thing, but tyranni-
cal interference with constitutional privileges
is another. Superintendent Kennedy would do
we'll to remember that he is neither in Venice
nor Warsaw. Even there the right of petition
is respected.

himself, either at New York when he arrived
here and wrote to his employers that he found
the North apathetic and by no means disposed
TO resist the secession movement by the sword,
or at the South, when he gave such glowing
descriptions of its soldiers, generals, arms,
batteries, resources and capabiHty Of achieving
its independence. Nor has he cleared up the
statement in bis letters that South Carolina
desired a British prince to reign over her,
though the whole press of that State are indig
uant at the impatation, and wonder what kind
OF company Mr.. Russell kept in Charleston, and
where he spent his nights, that he should have
picked up euch ideas. We hope the war cor
respondent of the London Times will feel it
due to himself to clear bis skirts of this i'm

explanation, giving Names places and dates.
The London Times has been rather unfortu-
nate in its American correspondents Its at
tache who followed in the train of the Prince of
Wales was so slow that all the London papers,
The Times included, published our intelligence
about the Princes movements several days in
advance of his correspondence. At length,
when his letters arrived, they were full of the
most ridiculous plumbers, and he was CON-
PEELED to come out in long explanatory card
in the New York papers. And now the great
peripatetic philosopher of the Times, its LII.
D., undertaking to describe the condition of
The country, and after writing the most contra
dictory and absurd accounts both of North

need further calculation, and he will fad it ne
cessary, perhaps, to write two or three more
cards explaining the explanations, before bis
equivocal position is sufficiently defined.

ITALY RECOGNIZED BY FRANCE-FINAL EXITING
TIoN OF THE PORES TEMPoRAIITIEs.--We learn
by the Etua the important fact that the recog-
milton of the new kingdom of Italy has been
decided upon, and will soon be formally an.
nounced by France. There is no mention made
Of the manner in which the Roman question il
disposed Of; but it may be assumed that no
reservation will be made of the temporal pre-
tensions (for rights we cannot call them) of the
holy Father. II would be useless for France
to give diplomatic sanction to any arrange
nent which did not embrace Rome within the
new kingdom. 1t is the natural capital of
Italy, and its people would never rest con-
! tented with reconstruction which left out the
feature most coveted in their scheme Of unity.
As one CT the chief motives of the delay in the
recognition of the Italian kingdom by France
has been the difficulty of reconciling the i'm
moveabilty of The Turin Cabinet with the
equally inhexible obstinacy of the Pope on
Napoleon has conceded all that was insist
ed upon by The former, without any reserva-
ton CT qualification whatever.
The Paris Union, one Of the iiercest and most
uncompromising OF the ultramontane journals,
evidently regards the matter as thus settled.
Whatever arttul terms may be used" it seys,
recognition implies necessarily the end OF the
Pope's temporal power.n
Thus, after nearly eleven centuries of exist
ence, dating from the time Of Pepin and Char
lemagne, this anomalous union of spiritual and
temporal authority under the Papal system has
received its final extinction. When it first be.
gan to assume the pretensions which it carried
TO such extremes, they were willingly submit
ted to, as q protection against anarchy and
barrier against oppression. In the develope-
ment of civilization, and more particularly in
he encouragement of art, it unquestionably
rendered great services to the world but as
;ooD as he spread Of education and intelli-
gence enabled men TO distinguish their reli.
gous and political rights, and TO think and act
'or Themselves, its mission was accomplished.
The efforts which ii made to recover the hflu-
snce thus lost by excuses OF spiritual and
temporal authority, as absurd as they were
arbitrary, soon deprived il Of the respect and
obedience it, ce possessed. The Reformation
relieved other countries from theocratical
despotism which had become intolerable; but
italy could not so easily shake it off. Down to
cur own day it has been the incubus which has
depressed and paralyzed her energies, and
which has stood in the way of the unifcation
hat was alone necessary to render her great
and powerful nation.
That obstacle no longer stands in the way
The unconditional recognition of her nation
ality by FiaDce relieves her from this stigma

her independence. Henceforwsrd the Pope
will receive no consideration different fror,
that conceded to tho Greek or Armenian pstri-
archs. In losing his attributes as q temporal
prince he will, however, gain immensely in
power and influence among those over whom
his rule properly extends.
