Dsg~ On Sunday, Nov. Goth, the great
Roman Catholic Cathedral at Phila-
delphia was dedicated. Rev. DIR. ID.
Goesbriand Bishop, of Burlington, was
present. The CORNER stone was laid
in 1876. The Cathedral is the largest
church in North America north of the
city of Mexico. 1t exceeds in size and
beauty the Montreal Cathedral and
cost nearly half million Of dollars.
1t is an exact model of st Charles
Church on the Roman Corso, lacking
only that yesture of age which height
ems the beauty of architectural effect.
1t is said to be able to contain 5000
people. II this be correct estimate,
it is about one-tenth the capacity OF
St. Peters at Rome, which will hold
about $4,000 people, and approaches
very nearly to st. Marks. the grand

4 and favors instead the congressional rule Of
the conquered Provinces. The gentleman
from Maryland would send provisional
brigadier to the States. Mr.. Lincoln sets
up one-tenth over nine-tenths, and his own
will over all. They forget the principle in
volved. They ignore the history / have
given. 1t is not who shall thus govern, but
shall this sort Of government be allowed to
any one? 'Shall Congress assume jurisdic-
tion of the rebel States ?'' is the question of
Mr.. Sumner. He holds that the States are
blasted as senseless communities, who have
sacrificed their corporate existence, which
made them living, component members of
our Union of States: that the States having
abdicated, the right to rule them Is trans
ferred to Congress. Mr.. Lincoln holds that
himself and an oligarchy OF one tenth
shall perform the same Junction. Suppose,
then, Congress governs them: by. what
agents will it govern? Men selected by the
people of the States? Not at all. That is
what is sought to be avoided. Wherein,
then, will such congressional government
differ from the military satraps and bashaws
selected by the President; or even by the
tenth of the people selected for their anti
slavery oathsp ~ 1-li

potism? What will be our fate, with such
adespotism? History is like Merlin's magic
mirror, in which we may read our own fu-
ture. The seeming strength of such sys-
tenn as conquered provinces, or oligarchical
States, to take the place of the Constitu-
ton and local State governments, is its
weakness. Such system is not to be COM
mended for the imitation of Anglo Saxon
people. Be assured, Representatives, that
the people of America will never accept
such system in lieu of their old, any more
than they will accept Presidential edicts for
