the Emperor Napoleon's note recognizing Italy
recalls the programme forth in the recent notes
OF the French Chambers, and expresses the hope
that the wished-for solution OF the Italian question
may be brought about without interruption. He
says the wish is to restore Rome to Italy without
depriving the Church of any of its grandeur, the
Pope of his independence.
He hopes that after time the Emperor will be
able to withdraw the troops from Rome, without
exciting the apprehension of Catholics. He leaves

will be fruitful in happy consequences.

THE HARTFORD CONVENTION

MANY of the present generation have heard some
thing of this celebrated assemblage. But compare
lively few are familiar with its complete history.
Nv recollection is that:
l. This Convention was, in substance, Congress
of the New England States; corresponding with the
Congress of the Southern States at Montgomery.
And its proceedings were equally revolutionary,
rebellious and reasonable.
1t was called together when our country was
at ,0ar; and with the most powerful nation on the
globe.
3. Its object was to embarrass the Government;
to incte rebellion against its conduct of the war;
to force it to treat for peace; and in the last resort
to secede, and form separate C"nfederacy.
L. 1t sought to, and did, give "aid and comfort
to the enemy. 1t took sides with that enemy, ana
apologized for British insults to our Flag.
5. 1t resolved that it was "unbecnmlng moral

our arms! And Instituted religious crusade
