There are no numbers of iny Review whereiu I have maintained the civil authority of the l'ope in this country, but as there are several numbers iu which I have discussed tbe relations of the two orders temporal and spiritual I think II hall upon the whole, best answer your wishes by vending them. 1 will therefore order my publisher to send you all the uumbeis for lNoii and 1601. Vou will find in the articles-entitled ' " Jiio IJ titers, ' January, l'M.'l," The Pjur itintl nut. tat the Trni)ura,'' April, and " The .jutilitul Siqiicme," July, of tbe same year, tbe statement of my doctrine on the eulijeet ; and in " ) uu ho tmi Jut, I Jai,Uaiv.

I treat the subject only under certain aspects and for Cathodes, and many of the terms I use have, iu Catholic theology, a technical sense, which those not familiar with that theology may misappre hend. I say this iu cxcu.se of those who have misrepresented me. I claim (and never have claimed for the l'ope, out of the Ecclesiastical iStatcs of which he is the temporal sovereign,) no temporal or civil jurisdiction, power, or au thority, properly so called. 'J he only pow er the l'ope has in this country is his power over Catholics as tho spiritual bead of the Church. It is a purely spiritual power, and can be exercised only for a spiritual cud, and even then oulv over Catholics, for tbe chuich does not judge those who arc without. t , w ...i .,..i r . .. ri,i i In matters pure v temporal, 1, as a Lath-1 v ! ,; ',, p i olic, owe no obedience to the l one, because ' . ,ias tect.iv,d from jBbU3 (-,, ist no au- t,,oriv a u.tlip0Ilil ,oyct..t,u ovvr IUe. ,,c CB-U10t make of umlortiike the rights of I ,)je a0l.ri!i or th(J dmitS of tLe sut,j,ct j abrogate the former or .Wive from the latter. j Thus far all Catholics, whether the so i eallod ultra-Montancs o ( licaus, arc agreed.

The Mercury has nn article dc- sigurd to show that the present National Democratic party is not to bo relied on for the protection of tbe rights of the South. Wc gjve one short extract, which, coming from high democratic authority , is certainly entitled to some weight. In reply to a state ment in the l'iehiiiond Enquirer, " that the Democratic psrty, as now composed and or ganized, is adequate and ready t j secure to the North and the South, the Ivist and West, the peaeif'.il enjoyment of their seve ral lights and immunities," the .Mercury says : We have no such faith in the ability of the Democratic party. It has been over whelmed at the North by abolition, and is powerless, either for its own national euds or the protection of the South.
