COLLEGE OF TIE IMMACULATE CoNcEP1I on
This favorite institution will commence its
next annual session on the I'd of October. Its
claims to the confidence of the public are so
numerous and SO we'll established that it is
unnecessary to dwell upon them; one fact
alone being sufficient to prove that, as an edu-
cational institution, it is equal to any in the
land, that is, that it is conducted by Jesuit
Fathers AS all our citizens know, it is situa-
ted at the corner of Baronne and Common
streets, Immediately adjoining the church.
The city railroad cars, from all parts of the
city, pass within o hundred yards of the Col
lege, hence there can possibly be no excuse.
on the part of parents, for not sending
their children to SO excellent a school, on the
score of distance.

| Now let us sec what Russell, an eminent
Protestant historian says on this question
of the foundation OF the temporal power.
We premise by saying that in the
year i753, Astulphus, King of the
Lombards, having conquered Ravenna and
virtually captured Rome, the Pope, at that
time Stephen ILL.,, called upon Pepin, King
of France, for assistance. The Emperor of
Constan tinople had already lost the sover-
eighty of the country by the chances OF
war, and Pepin now took it by force OF
arms from the lawless and impious captor
He transferred its temporal sovereignty to
the Pope. After his departure another
outbreak of Astulphus required his reap
pearance in Italy, at the head of his army.
What followed We give in the words of the
Protestant Russell, in his History Of Mod
ern Europe, p. "A:
Before Pepin returned to France he renewed
his donation to st. Peter, yielding to Stephen
and his successors the exarchate Aemilia, now
Romagna, and Pentapolis, now Marca dAnco-
of France, ~ patricians and protectors Of the
Roman people, retaining only an ideal superb
orlty, which was soon forgotten. Thus was
to the priesthood and thus were the Popes en-
riched with the spols of tn Lombard KIM
and the Roman Emperors.
In foot note Russell adds:
The nature of Pepin's donation has been dis
puted but, on comparing authorities
and observing tho SCOPE Of history, the matter
seems to have been nearly as represented in
the text The impertinences of Voltsire on
this subject, under the form of reasoning, are
too contemplate to deserve notice.
We presume that the wonderful authority
of the Presbyterian must be that of Voltaire,
above alluded to. Only downright infdels
and rabid fanatics consort together in max
ing and believing such absurdities. This
offensive accusation as well as many other
vile calumnies against the Church and viler
Misrepresentation of it's doctrines, such as
we have had occasion recently to expose in
the columns of our neighbor, met with a
favorable hearing and general acceptance
in the fret days of the Reformation spasm,
but now "a days few respectable Protestants
and no polite, candid ones, either believe OF
repeat such thread bare nonsense.
