The Duties OF Cardinals-The Chance
for an American Cardinal.
To TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALp:-
The question Of the propriety or probability OF
our having "an American Cardinal" has excited or
late much attention that it may interest your
readers TO know exactly what right, If any. the
rious nations Of Uhrstendom have to possess rep
resentatives in the College or Cardinals. At the
same time the extreme old age OF the present Pom
TIN, and the peculiar circumstances under which
he concludes his reign, will render some account
OF the origin and nature OF the Cardinalatian Dig
nifty appropriate and opportunc.
The Cardinals act III twotold capacity-as the
electors of the Roman PontiT and as his counsel
lors ana assistants In the supreme government Of
the Church. AS papal electors they are, properly
speaking. and rom the very nature OF things the
representative OF the people and clergy OF the
diocese OF Rome. From the beginning and down TO
the middle Of the eleventh century the Bishop OF
Rome, like every other bishop IN the Church, was
chosen by the united suirages OF the diocesan
clergy and people. The same causes, however,
winch led in every country to u change In the mode
OF election, operated even more powerfully in
Italy, and in Rome particularly. Long before the
bishops OF Rome possessed u shadow Of temporal
power their position bishops of the great his.
torlc city, and their acknowledged supremacy as
the spiritual chiefs OF Christendom, made both the
Western emperors and the great Italian princes
and Roman factions contend hercely, at the death
Of each Roman bishop, TOR the election OF q favor
ite candidate. The ABUSES and disorders conse-
