- From A. 0. Tlrgttcn son's letter, affirming the
doctrine thatthe Pope claims svpremcay
over the temporal power, and has a right
to decide whether his church shall ntJKfn
the Constitution or not;
AU agree that the State is supreme and
independent in its own order?that is to say,
in the temporal order. But what I maintain
is, that tho temporal order is not supreme
and independent, but in tho very nature
of things subordinated to tho spiritual,
since tho end of man?the end for which |
God made him, directs and governs him by
his providence?lies in the spiritual order, not
in the temporal. Every man who believes
any religion at all, whethor Catholic,
or non-Catholie, docs and must auinlt this;1,
ifor it is only saying that wo must obey God j
rather than man, and livo for tho Creator!
rather than tho croatuiy This premised, lj
think 1 cim state tp .yw in a f-w \v<
doctrinjB^I 4? ropjly hold. ? . ^
Iuasrtiutjh as the temporal order is subcr dtJintO
t*0^ne"ilpi ritual, tt follcrrra that the
stale is under the law of justice, consequently
tho prince holds his power as a trust, not
as an indefeasible right, and therefore forfeits
them when ho abusos them, and loses his
right to reign. This is the common doctrine
hold by all of us Americans, and all Catholic
doctors toach and always have taught it.
It lies at the foundation of all truo liberty,
and is the only doctrine that cau over justify
resistance to the temporal powers. This
riglit'of resistance of-powor when it becomes
tyrannical and oppressive, I Lake it for grant ed
is held by every American.
' Bui l^ere is tho difficulty. Tho Church,
following tho lloly Scriptures, make^civil
al.lcgiauce a religious duty, and says with
at. Paul, iTom. xiii, 1-2 : " Let every soul he
f^bjcct to the higher powers, for there is no
'power but from God. Therefore l*e that re.sisteth
tho power resistctli the ordinance of
God, and they that resist, purchase damnation
iu Lucir.uch'jps." I lore you see I am
forbidden by the Jaw of God to resist the
power, ami commanded, on peril "of damnation,
Jo obey. Ilere is my conscience hound
to obedience, and my conscience as a Catholic
can ho released only by a declaration of
mv Church, as tho divinely annoinle.il ilireet
' - j ;;-i i
or of conscience, that the prince by liistvmnnv
and oppression lias forfeited his rights,
fallen from his dignity and ceased to reign,
WVhal I claim for the Pope, as visible head
-of tbo CKui'fch, is the power to release my
conscience front this religions bond, and to
place mo nt liberty to resist the prince bocoming
a tyrant. This is all understood by
.the deposing power.
Tho power itself, everybody, not a tyrant
or. a slave, asserts. The American Congress
of 1770 asserted it, and deposed {Jcorge the
Third. The only difference is, some give it
? ? ? * V f a T
head of the Church.
Tho Pope docs not in this exercise a civil
poWfer or jurisdiction, and it is called his temporal
power only because it is a power excrched
over temporal sovereigns, or in relation
to the obligation of tho subject to obey the
prince. But oven hero the Pope does not
relieve from civil allegiance, for that the
{>rince had forfeited by bis tyranny. He releases
tho subject only from the spiritual or
ireligiousobligation, superadded by Christian'
ity to the civil, and this only in case of tho
Catholic conscience.
The Vopo is the proper authoritv to do
?cide for mo whether tlio Constitution of this
country is or is not repugnant to tho laws of
God. If he decides that it is not, as ho has
decided, then I am bound irt coiftcience to
obey every law mado in accordance with it;
uuder no circumstances can he absolve me
.from my obligation to obey, or interfere with
the Administration of government ui)der it,
for the-civil government is freo to do according
to its constitution whatever it pleases that
is not repugnant to tho laws of God, or to
natural justice. That it is free to do more
than that, I presume no man in this country
wijl ffrctend.
I Jiavc made these remarks to aid you to
understand the doctrine of the articles to
which I have dalled your attention.
You aro a stranger to mc, but I take you 1
to be a serious-minded man, and a lover of <
truth and justice ; as such I have addressed j
you. I have no doctrines or opinions that I ]
wish to conceal. I am a Catholic. As such, .
! am to be true to my God, and to my fcl- '
low met!. {
I have the honor to be your obedient 1
servant-, A. O. HROWNSOX.
?. rpvxu ^vMKiticAS, wilting of what he
saw In the Crimea, says: (
" One would be surprised to see the-d'rtfcr
enco between the feelings of the armies here. 1
The^English are all much downhearted, and 1
do nothing but lament their sad fate. If \
asked when they expect to return homfr, they ^
will say most decidedly ' n<#er,' feeling con- .
fident that, if they escape death in the battle,
it is only to be kept as subjects for the cholera,
which rages fearfully. Tlio Krendh, on 1
tho contrary, have made several bowl'ng-ab j
leys in .(heir camp, and, with a canteen full ,
of grog, are perfectly regardless of tboir fy- j
tur? fate, never looking further ahead than
next meal time. It, liowevdf, speaks bad)y4,_
for tlio discipline of tho armies, to see ^klfe c
number of drunken soldiers at all times and t
places. The English are forced to keep sen- j,
tries ihroughoufvhoir camp, to pre'vent tho
French from soiling their soldiers liquor, as v
it has alr^Ady^caustfcl tlio death of several, it "
being entirely pure spirit^. It sells from se- ti

after a moment's consideradion, ho thought tl
it would be policy to turn over, lost his breath v

The attempt would not be quite as abortive?
nor void of good effects.
Wo thank some unknown friend for

TALL PRODUCTIONS.
"We have been shown a sample of Kentucky
Blue Grass, grown on the farm of
that were our farmers to turn their attention
to the cultivation of this grass, it would
soon obviato the necessity, of not only
sending our horses to Kentucky to fatten,
but also of having to purchase of drovers.?
If this grass can be produced as prolific gen
erally. as tho specimen shown us?and but
few doubt it?the attention of stock raisers
should be called to it. Tho experiment
should bo tried.
Mr. Henry B. Williams, of this place
has left at our office, a stalk of corn, which
measures sixteen feet. Tho average height
of corn has never been known to be as great
as at this season. This stalk which we have,
has the appearance of having produced only
one ear of corn.
Appropos to the subject of productions.
Our garden has allorded one of the tallest
specimens in tlio way that^vo have noticed.
It is a full grown Irish potato? with a curb
cliaiu running through tho centre, so firmly
infixed that to separato theui tho potatoe will
have to be dreadfully injured. An operation
which, for the si^ke of the potatoo, we
intend to forbear. "We do not think,ai some
:lo who have seen it, that it is in anywise a
phenomenon?or portentous of any tyrannical
happening to the natives of the Green
Isle. If any, 'twill only be a slight curb
jiven to their upward growth by those troujlcsomo
Know Nothings.
OUR CORRESPONDENT JOE.
Many of our readers who have become
amiiiar with tho articles of our mute friend
vill be pleased to see from his letter to us
hat ho is married. We do not know when
ve have been moro highly gratified than '
vhen wo received tho polite confidential leter
of his informing us that he was at last 1

hough Joe knows that we are not married,
10 still persists in addressing us "as one

y places of whose heart has become instead i
he altars of sunshino. lie is too fast here, '
ut all owing tw his belief jU)at if a man isn't !
oarried he ought to be.
There are many persons in our 43tate who >1

a friend how fast our subscriptions were
Kiting off. Ho came with tho intention of
increasing cur Hst with a few names, from
hearing us abused by .a certain yery decided
anti-American. .'Now this vety tame person
who has seen proper to abuse us after the
fashion of a skulking coward?has nover for
once manifested to us person all j^jthe slightest
objccction to our paper; on the contrary,
was nnxious at one time to be oonsidered a
life subscriber. Wo hope that hereafter he
will express himself openly, pay for his paper,
and abuse us as if ho bad the authority.
I It is no pleasure to us to niako a note of
such conduct on the part of any one. We
merely adopt it now as a dernier resort. Gentlemen
entertaining different views to ns are
entitled to our columns?they arc open to
free discussion, and we trust they will be filled
with communications from both sides. Our
proposition, it is to bo liopcd, will be generously
accepted. Several gentlemen of ability
who belong to the anti-American party have
promised to send us their views. They are
men whoso characters nnd souls are far too
noblo to bo compared with the narrow-mindedness
of a few, whose little mind3 arc incablo
of performing tbo slightest good, nnd
whoso meanness towards a generous opponent
so far surpasses the imaginary wickedness
of the " dark lantern " party as to leave
the latter in utter insignificancy., We do
not thinlc of referring to "this again. It
would not now be done but for the desire of
placing us rightly as an independciil journalist,
and availing oursolf tineonly means of
repelling a mean attack. Once for all?we
are not now, nor n<?ver h?f# becn, a member
of the Know &otliihg Qwcr?but believe in

Keyport, l$jiSF., July 31st, 1855. J
W. P. Price, Editor op in* Enterprise
We, (i. 0-5 ray wife and myseUjf lmve
been here six days, and, expect to stajr three
days longer. Keyport is a new village, situated
on Raritan Bay. The bathing is dolightful.
We went in bathing this morning,
and a very pleasant time we had. My host
is a clever sort of a fellow ; he can spell with
his fingers, tftftugh not quickly, and he is
splendid company.
Let me speak of our visit to Hartford,
, Conn., on the 21st ult. We stopped at the
Eagle Hotel, one of tho best conducted in
that city. No liquors are to be scon in
Hartford, not even excepting the ladies'
wine. I go for temperance?total teetotalism,
on the score of its many virtues.?
Hartford, is n beautiful town, inhabited by
inapy wealthy mert^ while tho country jiround
is highly picturosque. We remarked
more than a dozen churches in that town,
some of which are splendid, and have tho
appearance of castles, Monday morning,
. tho 22nd, wo visited the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum, as called by its founders, though I
would rather it ho dignified by tho name of
the Institute,) and wo were gratified at tho
reception wo met with. Rov. Mr. Wm. W.
Turner is principal. His son is a physician,
practicing in Philadelphia. Ouo of
his daughters is employed as an assistant
teacher in tho New York Institution for the
Deaf and Dumb. Four mutes are teachers
in the Hartford Asylum, one of them a woman.
Of these teachers, Mr. WheWer, a
fine looking man, was a school-mato of mine,
and has a wife, also deaf. Wo visited the
school room of Profossor Laurent Glero, A.
M., himself a muto, celebrated all over the
world for his varied learning. IJo is now in
his sixty-ninih year, but has not the slightest
pretence to the oharactcr of an invalid; he
looks the very picture of robust health And
. the embodiment of exuberant spirits. We
una ino pleasure oi his company when we
. went to New York in the afternoon. lie
was a pupil of the learned Abbe Sicard, who
directed the Deaf and Dumb Institute in Paris
with remarkable success. Among his
most renowned class-matcs^are Jean Massieu,
now dead, and Professor Bortkiers, who
has published many books on the subject
of deaf mute education,. Mr? Clerc is one
of the blessed few who founded the llartfbrd
to hear and speak. Ilis wife, still living, is a
% daughter of the Rev. Dr. Braindgc, and was
^ educated .in the Asylum. Not one of their
( four or five children labors under the same
infirmity as their noble (so they are) parents.
On our arrival at New York we put up at
( the Irving House, on Broadway, nnd were
provided with a good room on the third floor,
commanding a fine view of the street. We
went to the Crystal Palace, out of curiosity
rather than anything else. There are a few
things in this establishment worth seeing,
namely, tho Mammoth Tree, the Picture
. Gallery and several Statues, which last de.
serve mucli praise for their exquisito finish.
The Mammoth Trco will soon be shipped to
England?probably this week. It is a marvel.
Serious talk aside. Let us be a little jovial.
It won't do to put on a face of Puritan
icai gravity this hot weather. While pen?|
