The war against the rebellion in this
country did not make much headway
till after the Proclamation of Emanci-
patton had been issued. Thereafter,
and when the slaves came to under
stand that they would be freemen when
the rebellion was crushed out, the Un-
ion soldiers found firm friends among
the blacks in the Southern States, and
the four million slaves became in many
ways valuable auxilarieS of the Govern
ment. A proclamation of emancipation
was some time ago issued by CespedeS,
the revolutionary President of the Gu
ban Republic, and now that the slaves
have come to understand its nature,
they are rallying to him from all parts
of the island, deserting the tobacco and
sugar plantations in the Central and
Western Departments, and foCking to
the Standard of the emancipation. The
odds will now be largely against the
Spadiards, and the six thousand troops
on their way from Spain will not make
the chances even. Cuba will presently
be independent, and not slave will
remain upon its territory. Cincinnati

We have supposed that this was a
free country, but some OF our Irish
adopted citizens at Springfield, Illinois,
seem to be Of the opposite opinion. A
minister named White has been lec-
turing in that city against. 'Romanism." !"
On Sunday evening large number Of
Irishmen attended his lecture, and be-
coming angry at his statements, cried,
''Put him out" and rushed to the stand,
about a hundred in number, with the
design of dragging the lecturer down.
Their movement was checked, at first
by other persons present, and later by a
force of police. The Irishmen contin-
ued, however, to curse Mr.. White, and
interrupt his discourse by obscene re-
marks. They were finally put from
the hall by force. We do not know
anything of Mr.. White. He may have
been abusive in his language and false
in his statements, and he may have
been directly the reverse. His merits
are not in question. The simple point
is that he had the right to say what he
chose-of course within the bounds of
law and deeency. That he did not
exceed the former is. evident from the
fact that none but Roman Catholic
Irish objected. If his views did not
suit them, why could they not have
quietly left the hall-or rather, why
did they go where they were well as.
sured their opinions were to be assailed.
We are glad 10 see that the authorities
at Springfield are resolved that Mr..
White shall be protected in his future
lectures. Freedom of speech must be
sustained at all hazards. The wisdom
of the laws guaranteeing it can not
better be e1emplifed, indeed, than by
the outrages of those who do not be-
lieve in it, except where it is employed
in defense of their own creed.-C'ncin-

JACKSON G. H.. OHIO. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER g. 1859


If, in the lapse of ages, the Church
Of Rome has lost the political power
that it enjoyed and exerted under its
Gregories and Innocents, it has not
voluntarily relinquished it. Indeed, it
still talks as if EmPerors could be in
terdicted and their subjects thrown
into abject terror by decree of excom-
munieation. A letter, written from
Rome to the Catholic Observer, of
Milan, the authorship of which is at
tributsd to Monsignsur Nardi, who
holds an important position under the
Papal Government, uses this strong
language:
The church has an unboundad en-
pire. FrOm century to century Sher
King and her Princes have announced
the great principles which were suited
to the wants Of the age, and from time
time, as new wants arose, this King
and these Princes have added new
laws and new statutes to the existing
code. Such laws and statutes are bird
ing upon all without exception, and
temporal rulers possess neither the per-
sOnal privileges of disobediepce nor, on
asconnt of their Office, the right of
withdrawing from the far higher au-
thority of the church. From all this it
clearly follows that the Catholic Gov
ernments have no other task than to
accept the decrees Of the council in the
name of their subjects,
Such utteranceS may provoke a smile,
but they deserve more serious consid-
Grafton. The fact that there still exists,
in the last third of the nineteenth CEN
tury an organization claiming supreme
authority over nations and their rulers,
is worthy of the careful attention of
every statesman and private citizen.
History tells US what dire results have
arisen from ecclesiastical tyranny in the
past. Should it regain its dominion in
the future, there is every reason to ex-
peet that the conflict between modern
civilization and unsnlightSned medie-
valism would be terrible in the ex-
treme. The probabilities of such a
crisis may be very small, but in our re-
joicings over human progressive should
not be blind to the existence of pow
erful reactionary influences. Cincinnati

The Tobacco Evil

A newspaper contemporary of ours
narrates the following short incident;
Doctor" we said to asplendid spec
linen of the profession, "tsll us some
thing about the baneful effects of to-
bacoo."
ats effects, sir" he replied, "are
evil and only evil, and that continually:
and it is perfect mystery that gentle
men of my profession care so little,
do and know so little about poison
that is doing mischief at SO terrible a
rate"
"Sir," the doctor continued, ~ was
on a council of physicians the other
day, on the border of this town; the
patient was young man prostrated by
the paralysis he was deprived of the
use of his lower limbs from the ABIDE
men to the toe; we oyerhauled him (;
we withdrew and talked about antece-
csdents and probable causes, and came
to no satisfactory conclusion. Dissst-
isfed and impatient, l inquired Of the
attending physician whether the poor
fellow used tobacco.
go, no." he replied, II guess not"
and with an air Of nonchalance, added,
"what if he doesl that can have no
thing to do with bis case"
81 did not ask you," l replied, "about
the effects of tobacco, but simply if the
patient used it."
Grumy he said, "Go and ses."
Stepping to his bedside, / said, "My
young friend, do you use tobacco 7"
With q squsaking voice, more cat
| like than human, he answered, 81 use
a little"
"HOW do you use itP''
81 smoke little"
"Did you smoke this morningp
"Y es, little"
"Did you smoke at noonH"
"Yes, little"
Before l quit his side / ascertained
that he had actually consumed sixteen
cigars = day, and the poor fellows soul
was SO obfuscated by smoke that he
considered that prodigious amount but
little!
"This," continued the doctor, "may
seem strange, but the strangest Of ell
is the fact that the attending physician,
regular and we'll bred, did not know,
in the first place, that his patient used
tobacco, aud secondly, if he did, he did
not know that rank and deadly poi
son could have anything to do with
his case"
We are indebted to the medical pro-
fession for the most effective testimony
against this most popular poison !;
hence we have no wish to arraign it and
denounOe it in wholesale style. But,
account for it as we may, on the score
of selfshness or ignorance, the main
body Of the profession is mournfully
derelict in duty touching the ruiRous
effects of this great and fashionable
narcotic. chronological Journal.

We are extremely sorry that the
Catholics of Springfield, ILL.,, could find
no better way of refuting the Rev. Mr..
White, who lectured against them, than
kicking up a row in the lecture-room.
We once, with several other Protest
ants, heard q clever Catholic preacher
assert that it would go extremely hard
with Luther and Calvin at the Day of
Judgment; yet, if we had been plenti-
fully supplied with an ammunition of
dubious eggs, none of our company
would have thrown one of them at the
ardent gentleman in the pulpit. Give
and take should be the law of pulpit
polemics. We often think when we
read of these little religious outbreaks
of the wisdom displayed by Mrs. farley
when Miss Monfathers had spoken dis
respectfully of her "wax-work show"
and hinted at putting her in the stocks.
"For which of us is best off," quoth
Mrs. farley, "she or met It's only
talking, when all is said and done and
if she talks of me in the stocks, why, /
can talk of her in the stocks, which is
good deal funnier, if we come to that.
Lord, what does it matter, after all +"
There is a plenty of sound philosophy
in this conclusion of the great Mrs. Jar
ley. At this time of day, the roasting
OF heretics having gone quite out of
fashion, it will hardly do for religionists
to try to stop each others tongues; but
they should talk of each other sin the
stocks" and thus relieve their minds,
without q resort to the vulgar device of
assault aud battery.-N Y. Tribune.

FLoRALINE SHORE.

/ rambled one morning
At earliest dawning,
Along the green banks Of the sweet river Norei
The sky larks were singing,
From heayenward ainging
The pure liquid notes from their wonderful score
halted to harken
Where shadows darken
The path winding on by the sweet river More
Where forth from her hiding,
In nature confding,
Tripped lightly the maiden called Floraline Shore
The sky larks were singing,
Still joyfully flinging
Their mating songs over the sweet river More.
The waters were flowing,
The soft air was blowing,
And flowers were blooming as never before.
But there in the dawning
OF roseate morning,
Whose beauties enyironed the sweet river More,
Where all was elysian,
The lovoliest vision
Was she whom the muses. named Floraline Shore
The waters were flowing
The moist breeEes blowing,
And morn again dawned on the sweet river More
The sky larks we're wingng,
And heavenward singing
The songsthatthey sung in the spring times Of yore
And there the old story,
Renewed in its glory,
Was whispered again by the sweet river More;
And o may mover
Forget that sweet river,
Or cease TO be charmed with its Floraline Shore.

THE NOVEL READER.

She slumbered in the rocking chair
She'd occupied all day,
And in her lap, half open there,
The last new novel lay.
Upon the hearth the dying brands
Their latest radiance shed,
A faring candle near her stood,
With a crown about its head.
Her hair, which long unkempt had been
Was hanging loosely round
A single curl by crooked pin
Most killingly was bound.
Her gown--it had been white ! wecn,
But white il was not then;
Her rufiles, too, had once been clean,
And might be so again.
But little cared she for these things,
For in her busy brain
The novelist's imaginings
Were acted DER again.
But while in this delicious nap
Her willing sense was bound,
The book, escaping from her lap,
Fell numbering to the ground.
She wakes, but It's, alas, to see
Her lights last quiyering beam
Nor in the blackoncd Goals can she
Revive one friendly CLEAN.
Then gropng through the passage far,
She steals with noiseless tread.
And, leaving every door ajar,
Crceps shivering to bed.
