nal being free and independent, you
will not, of course, refuse to insert q
few lines from an old subscriber.
In on editorial of last evening you
have been pleased to style G%aribaldi a
demigod, because in your opinion he is
the personifcation of everything oppos-
ed to ignorance, superstition, tyranny
irreligion, etc. Now, let me ask you, do
you know, are you aware, that Carl
baldi would brand you as a consummate
liar2 He believes hei is tho only promi-
nent man upon earth. He believes in
no Deity, no religion he is, as the wri-
ter of the editorial, an infidel.
Your subscriber and respondent is an
American citizen. He has travelled
under the protection of an American
passport, signed by Lewis Cass, through
Europe. During his travels the civil
war was raging in the United states.
On arriving at Spoleto, Castle Fidado,
Loretto Ancona, etc., all through Italy
the news had arrived Of the Yankee
a;obt at Bull Run. All the Garibal-
dams shouted " hurrah for jeff Davis T.
OF course you being a Garibaldian, you
would also join yonr feeble voice IN tho
joyful and harmonious exultatlon. AS
an American citizen, manfully and inde-
pendently, l ask o simple question.
Was Garibrldi right? Of course, you
n Garibaldian, will say yes. Turn
about is fair play,-was jeff Davis rightI
Yonr answer. no. Garibaldi would
again call you n cousummate liar. II
Jeff Davis and Garibaldi were authori-
tatiyely and constitutionally on the
same ticket, how can you be eternally
| clamoring for the impeachment OF Jef
Davis? Garibaldi, you say, is right.
Then, in turn, Isay JEFF Davis is right.
Who is to solve the question? Not you
because you are q Garibaldian. Where
can We find the jury? | fear not in
| Gold Hill. You will find in a sentence
of your editorial the solution. Men
sometimes say some things they do not
believe, but, Notwithstanding, are really
true. The sentence ms thus: "He
may not live to see the consummation
Of his hopes and aspirations, but the
grand elements and influences control-
ling and directing him, cannot be stayed
in their victorious march, and all op-
posers will surely be overwhelmed or
thrust aside" That is so. Cyrus was
working for Almighty God, when he
thought he was but q great general in
his powerful armies. "Thc elements
and Influences controlling and directing
him." he knew not. But no one can
deny TINT he separated the grain from
the chaff, that he. us an instrument OF
God, overwhelmed the B~abylonians and
liberated the Israelites. So it is with
Garibaldi, continually uniting the Chris
tians and true followers Of the Re-
deemer against inidels and unbelievers.
God makes use Of tho weak to c%onfound
the strong. This is cxemplified in Gar
ibaldi. Let more conscientious, more
religious and more able men take
warning.
Napoleon the Great, took n hand in
the same game. Napoleon, however, is
gone, aud the Pope still remains, not
only as firm rs the Rock Of Gibralter,
but MS firm as the old Rock on which the
Lord built his Church. "Thou art Pc
ter, and on this Rock I will build my
church, and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it," Tho world, the
the flesh, the devil, hell, and all its
Satellites have been, for the last eighteen
hundred years, the same as to-day, con-
tending against the Pope and tho
Church. But all impartial men, even
outside the Church /; say the Pope and
Old Church are stronger to-day than
ever.
The prognostic and one sided editorial
says: "The shadows cast forward by
coming events, are seen in the fast dyiny
out of the Pope's supremacy. Rapidly,
and surely, his area of spiritual rule is
contracting, and his temporal reign is
nearly at an end" Judas ~Iscariot is
ready, in hell, to second the motion
Such were the wishes and sentiments OF
Arius, Eutyches, Luther, Henry the
Eighth, and oil the followers Of Man,
mon. Bat, He who said, "Let there
be light, and there was light" said
also ;-"Thou art Peter, and on this
Rock I will build my Church, and the
Gates of hell shall not prevail against
it." Rub Petrus, i6i Eeciesia ct riee versa.
Where the Pope is, there is also the
Church, and where the Church is, there
also is the Pope. The Pope is revered
in America, as well as in Italy. The
whole earth belongs to God, and AL
mighty God has sent the Pope and
established his Church on earth to
teach justice and rectitude to all men
and to bring them to a knowledge
of the truth as it is in Jesus Christ. AS
further enlightenment for the writer of
the editorial, and discarding all partial
ity; in finishing, we shall quote from q
Protestant philosopher and historian of
our own time. What does the English
historian, McCaulay, say? "The proud
est royal houses are but Of yesterday,
compared with the line of the Supreme
Pontiifs. The Republic of Venice came
next in antiquity. But the Republic of
Venice was modern when compared with
the Papacy and the Republic of Venice
is gone, and the Papacy remains, not in
decay, not q mere antique, but full of
life and youthful vigor. Tho Catholic
Church is still sending forth to the fur
thest ends of the world missionaries as
Jealous as those who landed in Kent
with Augustine, and still confronting
| Kings with the same spirit with which
she confronted Attila. Tho number Of
her children is greater than in any for
mer age. Nor do we see any sign
which indicates that the term Of her
long dominion is approaching. She
saw the commencement of all the gov
ernmsnts, and all the ecclesiastical
establishments that 10Y exist in the
world, and we feel no assurance that
she is not destined to SEQ tho end Of
them all. She was great and respected
before the Saxon set foot on Britain
before the Frank had passed the Rhine
when Grecian %eloquence still flour
ished at Antioch-when idols were still
~worshiped in the temple Of Mecca. And
she may still exist in undiminished
vigor, when some traveller from New
Zealand shall, in the midst of q vast
solitude, take his stand On q broken
