' Mr. Branch, the locofoco candidate for Con gress in this District, addressed the people of this City, in the Court-House, on Tuesday even ing last. The number it persons present was greater than we recollect ever to have seen up on an occasion of a similar character in our midst, and we hazard but little in saying that nearly, if not quite, four-fifths of the large con course were sympathisers with the great Ameri can movement, were friends of " Sam." Mr. Branch spoke for three hours with very little or no effect, eliciting, comparatively, no enthusiasm, and producing, perceptibly.no sen sation. His arguments were but the repetition of those which have appeared in the Anti American press and been iterated and re-iterated by the Anti-American orators. The public are familiar with them all. If not, we refer them, for the present, for further information, to the letter of the Hon. John Kirk, which we publish in another column. After Mr. Branch had conoluded, loud and most enthusiastic calls from every part of the House brought Henrt W. Miller, Esq., to the rostrum, when he proceeded to reply to the for mer gentleman in one of the most powerful and irresistible arguments, (interspersed with much of that terrible sarcasm and frequent flashes of that brilliant eloquence for which Mr. M. is so distinguished,) that we have ever heard. The best evidence of the impression the effort made consists in the fact, that the auditory many of them aged men, remained and listened with the moat profound attention to Mr. Miller, until he concluded, at half past two in the morning, an attention only interrupted by the numerous outbursts of applause with which he was greeted. The vindication of American principles was tri umphant, the defence of the organization from the charges of its adversaries conclusive, the 'carrying the war into Africa' complete, the de nunciation of the present corrupt and imbecile Administration as withering as it was just We have copious notes of this discussion, which we are engaged in writing out. We deem it important and right that the people of the District should be mado fully acquainted with Mr. Branch's views, and familiarized with the doctrines of the American party, as they were expounded by Mr. Miller. We shai therefore present a synopsis of the speeches of each gentleman in our next. THE TRIUMPH IN WASHINGTON. It is with sincere pleasure that we are able to announce the entire rout of the Administra tion forces in the Federal city. The returns may be found in another column. The victory is the more important and the more worthy of congratulation, since the Administration had arranged a regular system of espionage over the ballot-box, with the view of removing and "proscribing" those of the employees of the Go vernment, who might dare to exercise the libei ty of thought and support the American ticket! TEMPORAL POWER OF THE POPE. We take the following passage from the ad dress of the Pope of Rome, delivered in Janua ry last, on the subject of the proposed sale of church property by the Piedmontese govern ment : "And last of all, as you are aware, there has been proposed in that country a bill directly contrary to natural and diviue right, opposed in the highest degree to the well being of human society, and favoring in every possible manner the pernicious errors of socialism and commun ism. By that bill it is proposed to destroy al most totully all the monastic and religious asso ciations of both sexes, the collegiate churches, and simple benefices even those dependent on private patronage and to deliver over their property and revenues to the administration of the civil power. The same bill also attributes to the lay authority the power of prescribing the conditions which such associations as are not destroyed axe to be subjected to. Words fail us to express our grief at such criminal and almost incredible acts against the Church and the inviolable supremacy of the Holy See in that kingdom, where there are so great a number of fervent Catholics, and where formerly, and in particular among the Sovereigns, such examples were to be found of piety, religion, and respect for the Chair of St. Peter. But the evil having arrived at that point that it is not sufficient to merely deplore the injury done to the church, and that we are bound to do everything in oni power to put an end to this state of things, we again raise our voice with an apostolic liberty in this solemn assembly, and we reprove and condemn, not only all the decrees already issued by that Government to the detriment of the rights and authority of religion, of the church, and of the Holy See, but likewise the bill lately proposed, and we declare all tltese acts to be entire ly worthless and invalid. Furthermore we warn, in the most solemn manner, not only those per sons by whose orders such decrees have been published, but also those others who may not fear to sanction, favor, or approve in any man ner whatever the bill recently proposed we warn them, we say, to consider in time what penalties and censures the apostolical constitu tions and the canons of the Holy Councils, and in particular the canons of the Council of Trent, have established against the plunderers and profaners of holy things against the violators of the liberty of the church and of the Holy See, and against the usurpers ef their rights. May it come to pass that the authors of such great evils may be touched by our words and warn ings, and may at length determine to cease their Audacious attacks on the liberties of the church, and save us the great affliction of turning against them the arms which have been divinely in trusted to our holy ministry !" This is the language addressed by the Holy See to the independent and constitutional gov ernment of Sardinia. And yet it is asserted that the Pope of Rome makes no claim to tern poral power in the affairs of other countries. But if this assertion be true, why does he thus address himself to the people and government of Sardinia ? We would ask, in all candor, what prevents him from using similar language towards the government of the United States ? TTsiv tnm ex a f rial t'wAn aUiao amsf aaviciiwao" W TO lUIUOO A 11 bUUb pcu ! LICO UUU UOU1UD which are applicable to the one are not equally applicable to the other ? Commenting upon this address of the Pope and its doctrines, the New York Courier con tains the following, which will be read with at tention by every reflecting mind : Nothing i more common than to hear respectable Roman Catholics deny that the Pope makes any claim to temporal power and yet what is such a de nial worth, in the face of the fact, that he as sumes the right to overrule the civil decrees and enactments of foreign states. His language to Sardinia is, " We declare all these acts to be entirely worthless and invalid." These are the identical words. If he can thus invalidate leg islation, he can, by the use of his dispensing power, do away with- all obligation to obey it, and thus directly control the civil conduct of all who acknowledge his supremacy. What mat ters whether that supremacy be called temporal or spiritual, so long as it has this practical, po litical effect T It is time that this matter should be definitely understood. Nothing can be fur ther from our mind than to fan undue prejudice againBt the Roman Catholic Church. We are quite ready to admit that that Church has often, in centuries past, used its mighty power for good. We consider that the Papal dynasty was again and again, in the middle ages, the triumphant antagonist of a despotism most galling, the most debasing, and otherwise the most irremediable Europe ever suffered we mean the despotism of the feudal oligarchy ; a despotism which never made, like the Papal sovereignty, appeals to the moral impulses or religious sentiments of the race, and whose sole end and operation were to degrade men into beasts of prey and beasts of burden. But the question of the day is, not how often in the past the Papal power has been used with good effect, and how often with bad effeot, but whether, in this age of the world, such power it to be used at all, to the disparagement of the entire sove reignty and complete independence of King doms and States. This question has been rais ed in England in connection with the Ecclesi astioal Title Bill; in this country in connection with the Church Property Tenure Bill ; in Sar dinia and bpain in connection with various measures affecting the temporalities of the Church. Now that the question has been rais ed, we trust that it will be settled, in both Pro testant and Catholic countries, once for all. In the minds of many it is a hallowed theory that the Roman Pontiff is the surzerain of the civilized world. Is this hallowed theory a practical truth or is it an imposing sham? That's the question. LIQUOR RIOT AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. We extract the following paragraphs from the "State of Maine," a paper published at Port land, in Maine, as throwing some light upon the Telegraphic account of a riot which happen ed at that place on Saturday night last. The present Mayor of Portland is Mr. Neal Dow, the author of the "Maine Liquor Law :" "In the reported proceedings of the .City Council we get results, not reasons or records of debate. We propose to give a slight sketch of Borne interesting discussions on the liquor business at the meeting of the City Council on Thursday evening. "In the course of the session Mr. Alderman Ring stated that he had heard that liquors for the Portland Agency had arrived, and, as no agency had been yet established, he would like to inquire who purchased the liquors? Mr. Mayor Dow replied that he had purchased them ; and, In answer to sundry other questions from the same source, stated that he paid $1,600 for them ; that they were private property, anddidJ not belong to 'the city ; that they were liable to seizure as being a larger quantity than one man could require for mechanical or medicinal purposes, and said, rather jocosely, that they had been seized and deposited at the depot for such articles, lhe Alaermen, however, were not inclined to turn the matter into a joke. Mr. Alderman Brooks was heard to express the opinion that all liquors were a nuisance, and he wished they might be turned into the gutter. Mr. Alderman Lib by coincided in the opinion. A motion was accordingly made that no agency be established, and the result was a tie vote, which was decided by tho casting vote of the Mayor in favor of the agency. No appropria tion, however, was made for the purchase of the liquor now in Mayor Dow's possession, and he still remains the sole owner. "The subject of appointing an agent was then brought forward. Mr. Ring thought they ought to have oe acquainted with liquor. and who knew the difference between good and bad. The Mayor did not believe there was any difference, and cited cases in illustration. Fi nally, after a good deal of discussion and seve ral ballotings, Mr. Chase was chosen." The lamentable consequences of these disclo sures and proceedings are related in a tele graphic communication, as follows : "Portland, (Me.) June 3d. Mavor Neal Dow, anticioating the action of the Citv Coun cil, recently purchased $1,600 worth of liquor for the city agency. The liquor remaining on his hands, several citizens entered complaint against it, and a warrant was issued for the seizure of the liquor. The Mayor called a spe cial meeting ol the Aldermen on Saturday af ternoon, who voted to purchase it tor the city At ten o clock at night a noisv mob assem bled about the building used as the city liquor agency, and attempted to break in and destroy the liquor. The police attempted to preserve the peace, and, the crowd becoming more threat ening, the Mayor appeared on the ground flour isning a swora at the head ot two military com panies which he had ordered out. This exas perated the crowd, who received them with groans and hisses. The Mayor ordered the in fantry to fire, but the captain refused to obey. for the reason that the circumstances would not justify the measure. The Rifle Guard soon af terwards approached, and the meb having now burst open the door of the liquor rooms, a sec tion ot the company fired upon them by order of the Mavor. Ephraim Robins, of Eastport, was killed, and six or seven other persons were wounded. A squad of the Rifle Guard then charged the crowd with bayonets, which rapid ly dispersed. A later despatch states that the excitement caused by this outbreak continued on Monday, to the almost entire suspension of business. It does not seem, however, that any further vio lence was apprehended. A public meeting had been called to initiate measures for the prose cution of those who caused the military to fire upon the mob. The European War. There is a great deal of nonsense talked in America about the result of the European war. This war belong to and is entirely connected with the political com binations of Europe. Russia, Austria, Prussia, France and England only look upon it as to how they may best maintain their separate grounds. Turkey is the victim, and Russia is ostensibly the foe. ' But the allies care nothing about Turkey there is not one of them who would not annihilate her miserable power in a minute, if either was able to do it but the pow ers are playing a sort of game of cards, to Bee who shall have Turkey who shall have Con stantinoplewho shall have possession of the Golden Gate who ehall have possession of the Keys of the Bosphorus. There is another question. France and Eng land are not the beet friends that ever existed in the world, though thy are sow united against Russia. ' At the present time they have but one object to attain, so far as they see, and BY LAST NIGHT'S MAIL! SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE ! Halifax, June 5. The Africa arrived here this afternoon, bringing ber regular European dates, being from London and Liverpool to 26th May. lhe latest engagement tn the Crimea took place before the Flagstaff Battery. The French destroyed the Russian works. The secret ex pedition of the Allies, which was recalled from Kertuch, is reported to have again sailed. Its destination is unknown. Much is expected of the new French General Pelissier, who contem plates an attack upon the Russians in the open field. It is supposed that the Vienna conferences will be re-opened. . Count Buol has bad an in terview with Lord. Westmoreland and Count Bourqueney, at which it was suggested that the members of the conference meet again. The French and English Ministers could not give an immediate reply, but, if assented to, it was un derstood tit Cottnt Buol would again attempt to arrange the third point. ine uerlin papers report that the Austrian Miloh Cows.

France wants dominion Louis Napoleon wants power, prestige and mil itary fame. England does not know exactly what she wants, in sncb a conjunction, but she always wants trade. While Bonaparte is looking for the vengeance which he can accomplish, by the Corsoican Vendetta princi ple which belongs to his family, England is merely sailing tinder colors, and what he says shall be done is to be done, if the Russian bear is not too rough a customer to be hugged with impunity, and if the Austrian leopard is not too treacherous a cat to be trusted for a moment. WISE'S MAJORITY. Official returns received reduce Wise's ma jority to considerably below ten thousand. The election of Lewis, the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Eleventh District, is in doubt. The Enquirer says it is prepared to hear of bis defeat. and that England and France shall each keep two ships therein, Turkey understanding that she is not to enter into any treaty with Russia, unless previously submitted to England and x ranee tor their concurrence. The Vienna papers state that the first meet ing of the conference would be held on the 26th, without the Russian Plenipotentiaries ; and another on the 28th, at which they were to be present. Lord Palmerston s explanations to Parliament indicate that their meeting is to be only preliminary. Liverpool Markets. Cotton was in very active demand.

The clipper ship, Charmer, was about full, having some 1200 tons of Wheat on board ; the Telegraph was loading, and the Morning Light was abont to be laid in, all for New York. The first men tioned of these vessels, it is thought, will arrive by the latter part of August. Two or three ves sels were also loading with Flour, Barley, &c, for Australia, and the evidences of a considerable surplus of Breadstuffs were unmistakeable. The prediction that California would become an exporting State of Agricultural produce is thus being verified before any body had an idea of it. NATIONAL KNOW-NOTHING CONVEN TION. Philadixphia. J une5. The National Know- Nothine Convention, composed of Delegates from all the States, assembled in this city to day, and was organized in secret session at the Assembly Buildings. Nothing turtuer has transpired as to the nature of their proceedings. There are outside rumors that the Massachu setts delegation were not admitted, on account of the refusal of that State to adopt the third degree, requiring all members to stand by the Union at all hazards. There eeems to be a gene ral desire that the new party shall establish itself upon a broad National Union platform, open to the world. We invite the special and particular atten tion of the "Standard" to the above. Where is Wilson now? "Othello's occupation's" gone !1 Wxll Drsxrvxd Distinctionb.'

Military roads in Kansas and Ne braska, for the survey of which $150,000 was appropriated at the last session of Congress, has been confided to Lieut Bryan, (Topograph teal Engineers,) of this State, and son of the Hon. Jno. H. Bryan, of this city. This seleo tion manifests in a high degree the just estimate placed upon his ability and skill in his profes sion. Richard H. Ripdick, Esq., of this State, recently a Clerk in one of the Departments at Washington, has been appointed to a 2nd Lieu tenancy in the First Regiment of Cavalry. This, too, is a most excellent selection. A friend has supplied us with the following facts connected with Mr. Rs eminent claims to the appointment he has received : " Although a member of a highly respecta ble family, and living in comfort at home, yet, when Major Clarke was recruiting a Com pa ny, in 1847, to serve during the war with Mex ico, he did not hesitate to take the humble po sition of an enlisted soldier, in the 12th Regi ment of Infantry, feeling that every service was honorable that was necessary. In the arduous service of Maj. Lally's command, he bore his full share, and with unflinching bravery per formed the duties of a Sergeant to the perfect satisfaction of his officers. He never missed his tour of duty while in the Army. He was in the engagements at Paso las Ovijas, Telome, National Bridge, Cerro Gordo, Las Animas, Huamantla, Puebla and Atalisco. Brev't Col. II. L. Scott has spoken to me concerning him since the conclusion of the war, as one of the most deserving and intelligent men he saw at the City of Mexico. Hia conduct was not only, without any exception, correct, but exemplary." Happiness and fame to you, friend Riddick. 1 MONUMENTS, TOMBS AND HEAD STONES rflHE Subscriber would take this method of re- M minding the public, that he is still engaged in the manufacture ef Grave Ornaments, in all varie ty and the best style of finish and workmanship He keeps always on hand a large stock of Marble, both of American and Italian, suitable for Monu ments, Obelisks, Tombs, Head Stones, &c; and having in his employ a first-rate Northern Carver and Letterer, he is prepared to put all kinds of Designs and Inscriptions, to suit the tastes and wishes' of all.

Mr. Boteler, we are informed, will contest the seat of Mr. Faulkner, and surely if the above facts are made to appear, he will have no difficulty in securing his seat as the legal representative from the Berkley district for the next two years.

We publish, in anoth er column, a letter from the above gentlemai to the Editors of the "Fayetteville Observer.' Mr. Kerr seems to think that the Press of tht State, our own, therefore, of course, included, are disinclined to do him justice. Mr. K. can point to nothing that has ever appeared in the "Register," that will justify such an as sumption, but quite the contrary. In publishing his letter, we reserve to oursel ves the right, at some future day most proba bly in our next issue, of commenting upon his positions, from the majority of which, in the present aspect of political affairs, we entire ly dissent.

All the "an gels" that we have ever found among the foreign immigrants have been of the gentler sex, and we are sure that -our friend Sam hasn't the least thought of denying thenv any right they have ever claimed or coveted. Thnre may be Dutch and Irish he-angels, but certainly the visits of such are " few and far be tween." Louisville Journal. t&" We have hitherto inadvertently omitted to mention the enlargement of that most true and reliable journal, the "Hillsboro' Recor der." We trust that the improvement is an in dication of the increased success of our friends of the "Recorder" in their efforts to please the public. We wish them long prosperity and much of it. Briefly stated, says the New Orleans Picayune, the purposes of the new party are to express the authentic voice of the American people in favor of an American policy of Gov ernment; to see our internal resources improved, our labor rewarded, our genius fostered, our ag riculture, manufactures and commerce guarded and sustained by an intelligent American states manship ; to see the right of suffrage protec ted by laws that shall make it the medium of expressing genuine American opinions and sympathies; to see that this is expressed in the action of the Government, that the federal constitution is administered in strict accordance with the views of its founders, that all usurpa tions of power are checked, all encroachments upon the rights of the States rebuked, and all forced constructions disavowed ; and thns, and finally, to see the Union preserved, strengthen- I ed and perpetuated. A Hint For Barnpm. The Louisville Demo-' crat thinks that Barnukn belongs to the Know Nothings. Wedacot know how that may be, but we rather think that the democracy will before long belong to Barnum. Barnum is famous for picking up all brofeen down animals, strange curiosities, old vertebrae, or anything that has seen its best days. We1 sometimes think, there fore, that Barnum will exhibit the democracy in his Museum one of these days. A. X. Herald. Female Liquor Seller. Ann M. Cummings, " a miss in her teens," (we may add amiss in her conduct.) was sentenced last Friday, in New Bedford, Mass, to pay a fine of ?10 and costs, and to be imprisened in the House of Correctoln for thirty days, for selling liquor.

Hundreds have examined them, and all have been loud In their praise ; and the best evidence of their merit is their rapid sale. But it is a new instrument a new invention and is. yet but little knownin the musical world, and it is for this reason that we call to it the attention of all lovers of music believ ing that there are thousands who would lose no time in securing one, were they awaie of the existence of such an instrument, and the low price at which it could be obtained. The following letter from Lowell Mason. Bos ton, to G. P. Reed, we are permitted to use. Mr. Gko. P. Reed, No. 17 Tremont Row. Boston. Mass. Dear Sir At your request, I have examined one oftfie Merddeonn manufactured by Messrs. Geo. A. Prince & Co., of Buffalo. I think them in all respects equal and in some respects supe rior to any others of similar kind which I have seen, and in particular with respect to quality of tone and promptness of touch, or action of the reeds by which quick passage may be performed witn certain ana cUstinct articulation of tone. An instrument of this kind is the best substitute for an organ, in church music, with which I am ac quainted. Lowell Mason. PRICES.

Price 75 cents. CAUTION We commenced the manufacture of the Improved Melodeon in 1847, since which time we have finished and sold over Fourteen Thousand. During the past three years, we have finished over Three Thousand Melodeon per year; we have nearly completed our arrangements for finishing Four Thousand annually. The celebrity which onr Mel odeons have attained has induced nearly .every music dealer in the United States, and Canada to apply for. the agency; but as we make but one Agent in each city or town, many are necessarily disappointed. The result has been that our Name Plate has been put upon Melodaous which were not manufactured by us ; and again, (in a few instances wchch have come to our knowledge) dealers, who have been unable to obtain our instruments have iacepted the agency of some other manufacturer keeping one of our instruments which had purposely been put out of tune, and in bad order, as a foil to the inferior article they offered to the public. For these reasons we caution these who wish to satisfy themselves of the merits of our Melodeons to ex amine those only which are offered by our Agents or those who deal exclusively in our instruments. Man improvements applied are exclusively our own and being the original manufacturers, our experi ence has enabled us to produce instruments which a discerning public have pronounced superior to anything of the kind hitherto manufactured. Many of the most eminent musicians of the cities of New York and Boston have voluntarily given testimon ials as to the high character of of our instruments, which can be seen on application. All orders from a distance will be promptly at tended to, and a wiitten guaranty of their dura bility given if required. April 24, 1855. 33 w3m. " TORN ING SUN ACADEMY. T. J.
