REMARKS OF MR. LEVIN,
OF PENNSYLVANIA!
In the House ofc Representatives, March 2d,
Mr. LEVIN! said : Mr. Chairman, I
have been so often misrepresented by the
paid agents of the Jesuits who hang a
round this hall, -rind who swarm over our
land, that I have come prepared to-day.
I was surprised; to find in the bill now be-

i Was Lixianny Querl. j'
When hey were giing to be wed,

When Petej found liis love was lost,

He'd half a imind tf jump into

"Ming one day by a farm house, he was induced to
-.moment to obtain ifsoine refreshments. Those
inli knew hot his! weakness, and they proffered him
fore the committee an appropriation for
a cnarge-snip to Kome, and still more sur
prised when my friend, the honorable gen
tleman from Alabama, informed me thai
he intended to move an amendment, sub
stituting in its stead a minister plenipo
tentiary. An embassy to Home I had sup
posed to be the pet measure of the Presi
dent of the United States. Sympathy
wun rope riussjA. appears to De tne hoo-
by horse of political leaders. OConnell,
the Irish refornier, is dead. The curtain
has fallen upon! that last act of the na
tional farce, and now the Pope, an Italian
reformer, steps upon the stage to conclude
what O Connell left unfinished. The hur
rah has gone through the country ; public
meetings have i been held ; sympathy for
the Pope has grown almost into a fashion :
yet, sir, in no legitimate sense can this
embassy to Rome be called a national
measure, intended for the public benefit.
We have no commerce to protect in the
Roman States ;j we have no seamen whose
rights may neetli even the supervision of
a Government agent or consul ; we have
no navy riding n her only harbor; we
have no interests that may be exposed to
jeopardy for wapt of an ambassador.
1 he Papal Hag has never been known
to wave in an American port. No Ame
rican vessel hs received the visit of a
Pope. Dwelling under the shadow of the
ruins of antiquity, we have never been
disturbed but by the bulls of Pope Greg
ory and the intrigues of his Jesuits. What
then, has prod deed this sudden revolution
in the concernsjof the countries ? We are
told that Pius the 9th is a reformer. In
deed ! In what! sense is he a reformer?
Has he divesteid himself of any of his ab
solute prerogatives? Has he cast off his
claims to infallibility ? Has he flung aside
his triple crown ? Has he diminished
aught from the; imperial elevation of the
tiara? And does he no longer hold in
bondage the bodies and souls of his sub
jects ? Has he ; become a republican ?
Does he acknowledge the inherent equal
ity of mankind t Has he abolished tithes ?
Has he emancipated his people ? Has he
suppressed the! Jusuits ? Far from it.
Nothing of this; has been done, i He main
tains his own prerogatives as absolute as
Gregory the 19th, or any of his illustrious
predecessors. :jn what, then, does the
world give him credit for being a reform
er ? Forjbuilding up on a new and firmer
foundation his own secular power; for
permitting a press to be established in
Rome under his own supervision and con
trol ; for carrying out measures not to be
. censured, but certainly giving him no pre
tensions beyond that of a selfish sagacity,
intent bn the study of all means calcula
ted to add stability to his spiritual power
and firmness t9fhis temporal throne. But
a sagacious monarch docs not constitute
rican people by a sermon from the nation
al forum, that he is the mainspring of the
American Congress? Combining the cha
racter of priest and politician, allowed to
the ministers of na other sect, this ambi
tious demagogue, taking for his mqtto that
" impudence is power," has dared to dis
play an extent of audacity never practised
and never allowed to any other (clergy

Is it not enough that he-should draw us
into the vortex of European tyranny, su
perstition, and corruption, but must he al
so dream of the vast honor of consumma
ting in his own person this revolting alli
ance between. the crimes of hoary guilt
and the purity of youthful innocence l-r-
b or what, after all, has this popular Pope
done but oiled the chains of his people
that they might never have power to break
them asunder ? What are all his reforms
but gilded thraldom, and slaveri made
eternal by modern rivets forged in the
hres ol that progress which) serves
equallyjo gloss the schemes of tyrants
and the projects of imbecility; which can;
be used with as much plausibility by the!
arch-tyrant, who understands how to en-i
slave men through their passions and im
aginations, as the political empiric who
disguises his own ignoranee by prating of:
the march of-mind ; whose tongue dis-j
courses of benevolence while his iron hand
is armed with the power of oppression ? j
I ask has Pius IX. abolished tithes? -j
Has he granted universal suffrage, or any
suffrage, to his Papal subjects? Has he'
established a representative government?
Has he introduced trial by jury ? j Has hej
granted the writ of habeas corpus ? Has'
he abolished the college of cardinals ? t
Has he established common' schools ?
Has he struck dawn the power of the cohf'
fessional ? Has he repealed the demor
alizing edict of celibacy ? Has he thrown:
open the gates of the monastery! or un-j
barred the iron bolts of the convent ? j
Has he separated church power frbm state;
authority ? Has he abolished that pest-j
house of intrigue and pernicious propa-j
ganism, the Society of the Jesuits ? Hei
has done none of these things. Then what
has he done to entitle him to the; sympa-f
thy of the people and the homage of thej
Government of the United States ? Noj
thing. j
He has made no fundamental alteration
in the papal system. The edifice remains
entire ; it is supported by the same gothic
columns of mideval ignorance and super
stition. He may polish an architrave t
he may repair a broken step leading to
the vestibule, or suspend a new wreath
around the altar, or add an ivory crucifix,
or even lay a railway into the capital of
the Cajsars, but the palace system remains
entire, unaltered, unimproved the same

to compliment Pius without compliment
ing his system of government, for he has
as a liberal reformer made no fundamen
tal alterations in it. We are therefore to
cornpliment him on his modified manner
of administering a system radically at j
war with the rights of man ; pernicious i
in itself, and dangerous in every form it
may assume, and under every modifica
tion that individual genius may venture
to adopt as arcovering to its deformity.
We have sympathized with the inde
pendence of Greece, of South America,
and of Mexico, when, casting off the yoke
of kings, they established their claims to
self-government. But how did we sym
pathize ? Not by sending an ambassador,
but by passing resolutions in Congress
applauding the act of emancipation.
Here were cases in which nations achiev
ed their freedom, and yet we sent no am
bassadors. If Pius has emancipated the
Roman people, bring forward your reso
lutions, and then we may have an oppor
tunity to inquire how far the extent of his
reforms will justify even that manifesta
tion of our national applause. The inno
vation now proposed is against all prece
dent, is frowned down by alt principle, is
denounced by facts, and rendered ridicu
lous by itsextravagance. It would indeed
be a farce but for the tragic character of
no diplomatic relations with Rome, owing
to her protestant contumacy. Are we to
bend the knee first, and then to acknowl
edge the Pope as the source of all power?
Must we prove recreant to our clorious
Declaration of Independence ? Must we
destroy life; but bear the sec ptr
ledge in their hand, and un ' r
ner of "education" they instil t!
doctrines that invest them v. .
omnipotent power over the tnh

probable ; for if he cannot tolerate the
idea of a Protestant hierarchy like Eng.

with complacency upon a people who
maintain the radical equality of the hu
man race as we do.
If the appointment were a mere mer
chantile arrangement, to negotiate a trea

a color more rational even although the
Pope is not bound to keep faith with
heretics ! But. alas ! the Pontine Marsh
