second Pienary Council
baltimore Gazstte1

Tie opening Of the Second Plenary Council
of the Roman Catholic Church Of the United
States, on yesterday, in this city, was not only
magnificent and imposing as religious cere-
monia, but full of associations aud sugges-
| tons OF the most interesting character. At
the very moment when the temporal sceptre
of the successor of st. Peter seems about to be
wrested from his grasp and his Punishment
from the great imperial centre Of Catholic pill
grimage and worship is the common theme of
European discussion, the church of which he
is the head is developing. on this new con-
tinent, an intlusnce and power which bring
to memory the palrniest days of its spiritual
dominion. The Church Of Santa Maria Mag
giore. the third OF the great Bassilicas of
Rome, had been Christian temple, more than
etven hundred years. before the genius of
COLUMBUS unveiled this Western world, The
gold which adorns the splendid carvings of its
roof was the gift Of FERDINAND and lisa BELLA
from the first treasures of their new-found
empire. It. is not, yet, old enough to have
its lustrs dinmed by time, but, already, the
incense which is daily burned beneath it
burns, at the same moment in the solemn
rites of the same faith, before thousands of
affairs and amid the prayers of millions of

which was heather from shore to mountain
when that gold was found upon its hills
And here, in representation of but part of
the Catholic Church in America-in a
country chiefly colonized by Protestants-
there assembled yesterday in council, host
of priests, and prelates, Archbishops,
Bishops and mitred Abbots, With the same
splendor ofvestment, ritual and pageant, and
the music of the same chauntings, which
shone and echoed through the yet stately
streets Of ancient Rome, when Santa Maria
Magsiore was consecrated, thousand years
before America was known. The magma
ton of ordinary men is hardly equal to the
conception Of such reality, and to do justice
to the reflections which belong to it would
task all the eloquence of MAOAULY, with
more than his philosophy. 4sst tfufa
But while we do not propose to enter upon
theme SO nearly boundless and involving so
many considerations which divide the minds
of men, it is but appropriate to the occasion

lie Church, during our late civil dissensions,

Howling seems to be the order of the hour
among the Radicals. Wendell Phillips lead

the Chicago Tribune took it up and went
bowling all over the Northwest. A Dayen-
port editor and postmaster undertook to set
up a howl in imitation of his big brethren /;
but it amounted only to a faint speak, for
President johnson took off his head before
his howl was fairly under motion. Greeley
is bowling Banks is bowling; and Butler
occasionally gets off a howl that beats them
all in quantity and volume. The last howl
comes from the colored population. Hear
ing their white brethren howl so long and
persistently they have Joined the chorus, and
now are bowling as dismally and ferociously
as any of the others. Here is an African
howl from Fred Douglass. It alludes to
President johnson:

EDIToR STATE RIGHTs Democrat /:
Another e discovery in fire arms and
ammunition has recently come to the light
of the astonished world. A few DAYS ago,
while n of our neighbors was plowingin
a field, one Of the most astounding and
heart-rending discoveries was made that
has come to the light of the world since
the discovery of %gunpowder, battering-
rams. Internal machines, Greek FIRE, camp
fire, hell FIRE, or the FIRE of imagination
Whilst n of our sturdy farmers was
pursuing his peaceful ayoeation With his
plow and ox-team, about the centre of a
large field, he noticed that very suddenly
his oxen pricked up their ears, raised
their tails, beloved wildly, and made
many signs of fear and establishment. The
pillow turned up its arms, raised the bristles
on Its back, aud turned the earth upside
down with its nose. The poor farmer,
who had q tight hold on the arms of his
pillow, was thrown high in the air, and on
descending alighted amidst a confused
mass of powder, bomb-shells, solid shot.
.knapsaeks, cartridge boxes, Sharp's rifles,
.rifed cannon, several thousand dead
bodies, all with a blue stripe on the abdo-
men, and the Constitution and bylaws of
the Confederate States. The whole com
munity was soon aroused by the great
eomnaotion and FASTENED to the spot.
Further developments soon brought to
hight Jefferson Davis, Stonewall jackson
Robert E. Lee, the whole Confederate
Cabinet, Parson Jones, and the whole
Confederate army, together with a million
and a half of Copperheads-one of whom
turned States evidence, and his develop.
ments prove conclusiYely that there is
a deep laid and well concerted plot among
the Copperheads of Oregon 10 carry the
next State election. May God in his
mercy protect US, for ne have lost all con.
fdenee in man Some i~ncredulous per.
sons may doubt the truth of these state,
ments. but to such l would SAY that every

John brown versus Washington

4 Western paper says: The report of
the Washington Monument Association
shows that during the last twelve months
the popular contributions have reached
the extraordinary mount of s11. At
first sight this may seem ridicnlously in
significant as the contribution of a nation
towards a monument for Washington but
after-reaection will convince any one that
this is a royal amount, considering the
people by whom it was given.
The fact is that Washington has "played
out" among a majority in the North.
When John Brown made his appearance
with his wagon load of pixies and rifles,
and had shot two or three people, at
Harper's Ferry, Washington sank into
insignificance. much as stars disappear
when the sun rises. In addition to other
reasons why Washington has sunk SO low
that he is estimated at only S11 per
annum in deprecated currency, is that he
owned niggers. The conditions of things
have much changed since his time. Then
it was respectable to own negroes; now it
is The thing, according to New England
~fashionables and the elegant Tilton. of
the Independent, to be owned by a negro.
IF a man has a negro master, and will
work hard for him, and is willing to give
up his own manhood in his master
service; and is disposed to give him
country, time, life, everything, then is he
a modern patriot of the Hottest character.
IF Washington had been the obedient
chattel of some full-blooded African, and
for his sake had fought the battles of the
revolution, had frozen at Valley Forge,
and bled at Yorktown, then would the
present generation have erected him q
monument higher than the tower of Babel
John Brown put on the collar of his
negro master and marched calamity tc
death via Harper's Ferry. Start two
subscription papers in the North, one fo1
a monument to George Washington, and
the other to the illiterate old reprobate
who was hanged for murder in Virginia
and the latter would get a hundred dollars
as often as the former would get a cent

LIBEL SuIr.-Gerritt Smith has COM
menced suit for libel against the Chicago
Tribune for saying that he feigned insanity
at the time of the John Brown trial, to
escape responsibility, and that he kept up
the pretense until after Lincoln was inangu-
ratea. He had better own up to being
insane, and escape the infamy of reputed
association or sympathy with old Brown.
