The intense hatred of the Romans for the priestsand priestly rule loses, however, none ofits intensity for the marvellous for- bearance with which. it is treasoring up. The talk one Items from men ofall classes, as soon as the subject is safely broached, is perfectly amazing. That the Romans, with hardly any except’oiis, are utterly dead to all venerationi for what distant Catholics hold‘ most sacred and holy, has been matter of universal notoriety since the days of: Dante, Boccaceio, Laurentius "v'alla, Ariosto, and Maccbiavello. b’ut hitherto, however they loathed and despisedlliem, the. Romans lived by their prints. The only recent expriments for the extinctionmf the Papace in 1.799 and 181.0- red‘uced ere to the condit’io: of a Eitencli chief'tz'eu do department, with hardly one half of its population. The Papal Court brought back with it lustre, importance and a certain prosperity to the middle slums of the Holy City. It m..- turned a penny by the signs of gay foreign visitors as well as by their penance; by carnival no less than holy Week. A begging Churchencouraged the mendicant habits of a lazy populace.-â€"-Rome «as lilalfa convent. half a watering place. and so long as the people lived by the Church they were willing eiiough.to.. cry, ‘ Long live the. Church!” ‘ But the Romans this year can get from the Pope neither panem nor cz'rcczzses. Popular disaffection shows forth in all its nakedness. There is no Tmstevermo willing to kneel as the Pontifical carriage goes past. with his half muttered ‘ Acci- denti al Papa !’ an exclamation in which their was more of profauencss than delib- erate malice. This year the Papal coach and its occupant’s blessings are shunnedas the plague.â€"â€"People take to their: heels wherever happens, and :the same care is taken. to get out oftlie way of the red tasselson- the frontlets of the sleek, black ,Romansnosed steeds which announces the approiic‘h of a Prince of the Church. There is dire distress in Rome, and the people, whether rightly or wrongly. strongl lay it to the blame of the Pontifical Government. It is the Pope with his obstinacy who prolongs the uncertainties of the present political crisis, and thus scares wealthy travellers away from their gates. It is the Pope who, by his testi- ness, drove his Romagnese subjects to revolt. and robbed Rome of the revenue accruing to the capital from the subjected ,Legations. Together with the Pope and the I’apacy, the Romans fall foul of religoion and its ministers. There is hard- ly a word of anprobrium which is not fiercely lrurled‘at the head of the priests; hardly a disparaging sneer against those ‘ black ravens’ or ‘ black swine,’ that ‘does not become widely popular, so soon as it comes out as a theatrical allusion, a basquinade, or ballad-singer’s sally. There is deep-set. ruthless, rabid invet- eracy of the whole mass of the population against the order of the pricsthood,â€"-an animosity. which. seeks its vent at the pre- sent moiuenta in.a thousand covert ways, but w-hich..is.sure to lead to some frightful open outbreak whenever an opportunity ofl‘e'rs itself. Against this pent-up but hardly conceal- ed implacable feeling of animosity the Pope has nothing to oppose save prayers, blessings, and-a. firm- resolution to follow the first martyrs-of the Church into the catacombs. His.head.Minister, or Secreo levy of State, wholly. intent upon the ac- cumulation. of ill-.gotton wealth, plays on his 'Sovereignis- fond, superstitious en- tliusiam to set him against. hislong-endur- ing Imperial protector,.and prolong this state of antagonism. between Rome and France till such. time as he may have made the whole or the best part of that- w 'lth safe against the wrath to' come.

Among these worthies, some of the prin- cipal agents and officers of the French Emperor at Rome are, I‘ know. not with what good ground, confidently numbered the now recalled Duke dc Gramont. whose scanty intelligence is, in the opinion of some persons, eked out by more than diplomatic duplicity, and General Goyon, for whose talents, or, indeed, common sense, the-Romans never entertained the slightest respect, and whose religiouszcal, nowcver great it may be supposed, is not certainly proofagainst a single frow-n of his Iinperiallmaster. The Romans indeed con- ceive that'the good Generals demeanor to- wards ‘ce ban Saint Pere’ is greatly alâ€" tered of late, and especially since the ar- rival of the Imperial intimation tio whichl alluded at the opening of this letter; and they describe him as listening to the Pope's speech at the opening of the American colleges in a supercilious, non- chalart, more than halfâ€"bored attitude as of a man who has played his force as far as he deemed it expedient, and considers himself now free from wkward and irk- some restraint.

Millions ofé speeches have- been made, sermons preached and count- less volumes written uponthe vice of drunkenness ;, many a time has our blood boiled with indignation, as we have listened to the recital of deeds done under. the influence of that which makes [man become “the picture of a beast and the monster of a man.” Drunkenncss is in verity our social curse; its debasing influences cannot well be overestimated, and alas its exteu. of those who bid fair to “become or- naments to society havc~under its influence become social pests.â€" -Our temperance friends designate this monster vice with too much truth, as “the parent of crime-"â€" No wonder then that S. of T’s., Good Template, ch. should seek to sweep this crime from our noble province. With this aim we tho- roughly sympathise; but we must say that to the means attempted to be enforced for the accomplishment of so grand a result, we are ut- terly opposed. We are as anxious as any Good Templar that ever breathed that drunkenness may speedily be amongst the crimes that were . hence we hope that. our temperance friends will not reckon us their “enemy because we tell them the truth.” It is not temper- ance societies to which we are op- posed. No. rather we bid them “ God speed.” To raise man from the dungbill isa far iiobler achieve- ment than to be the hero of a bun- dred fightsâ€"that our various tem- perance societies have done so we do not for a momentdispute, rather we are rejoiced thereat, and wish that their success may be a hundred fold increased. This premised, we hasten to lay before our readers our views as to the recent petitions to our various Townships to- in- crease Tavern licenses, 8w. “In are, in the first place, op- posed.- to any mere Township legis- lation on‘ the subject; it is a mani- fest absurdity, and cannot decrease the evil complained of. There may be too many taverns in our Townships, but, we ask, where is the man that will decide as to which is to close 2" [It cannot be done. If t'WO‘ men have-got” a: liâ€" cense, and both are equal' in ac- commodation &c., which, we ask. is to shut up? The Reeve of. Vaughan, [H. S. Howland. Esq.j]v‘ vcy aptly put this question at the last meeting. As to an indiscri- minate increase of the- license fee, so may are the. flirci'blfe objections against it that we are surprised that any sane man should‘ advocate it. Accommodation for the public must be had, and is most needed precisely in those localities that could not afford to pay such high rates. Just look also at the confu- sion: that will ensue. One Town- ship has $80 as its license fee; another only $340. What a medley piece of legislation is this; and our temperance friends may de- pend upon it that such insane measures, instead of helping their cause does it incalculable injury. A good cause is often hurt by fool- ish schemes. Whilst giving our temperance friends every'credit for sincerity, we are compelled to feel that their hatred against the drink- ing usages of society too often warps their better judgment, and lead them to. advocate absurd schemes that can end only in deâ€" feat, and materially retard future triumphs. _ ' Let them away with this paltry agitation. Will they bind the lion with low, or slay the rhinoceros with a pop-gun. It would be just about as feasible as is their absurd sive sway is illimitable, and somel hoped to find them. They wax proof of which we subjoin the fol- warm. and courageous at public meetings;: they pass grand resolu- York Herald of July lotions with endless parade and verbosity, which practically end in smoke; for it is a positive fact that Were. the laws that we now have properly enforced, much evil could be prevented. Why, We ask, are they not enforced? What are our foes to drinkingabout? Is it possible. that in epite'pf, their brave talk, when they face- the enemy that their courage oozes out oftlieir finger ends. We fear it isso. Our taverns shouldbe shut at Seven o’clock on Saturday evening, and kept closed all Sunday. Is it so .7" We trow. not. Acid as the present laws are not enforced“, it gives a powerful weapon in the hands of the toes of? temperance; for they argue that a law not enâ€" forced helps to~ bring-all law into contempt; and that if we had a Prohibitory Law “to-morrow it would not be carried but, and there- lfore the evil instead of being abol- ished; would be increased In all seriousness, be' it spoken, if Good Templars and Sons of Temperance desire to slay the monster, curtail his power at once; give us some pledge that you are in earnest,and ere you agitate for new enactments make the best use of your present weapons. As we said sometime since, let the cry of your perishing brother nerve you to. the task; he is fast hastening to the shades of 1night, a bloated and a wretched onicast. From the depths of (le- spair he asks youto save him.â€" Don’t tell him to wait till prohibi- tion comes. Strain every nerve, and make the best use of the mate- rials you have; for if not, the my will come with tlirilliiigemphasis- lost, and caused by your criminal negligence. D“ HOW TO MAKE MONEY! We feel that we owe no apology to our readers for treating on this subject. How to get and how to hold the ‘° almighty dollar" is a desideratum devoutly to be wished by all, though attained by few. The unthinking often wonder how some people amass wealth, and are ready to attribute success in this line to trickery or fraud. Doubtless it is so sometimes, but we much question whether there is more dishonest amongst the wealthy than with their poorer brethren. Those who amass money as a rule, have a much safer method of gainingit than by fraud, or by league with his Satanic Majesty.»- No Necromancer’s art brings them in. gold. They obtain it in much the same manner as we. do bread»- namely, by working for it. although it is not. every One who works gets rich. No ;. those only get rich who know when tospend money, and when to keep it in their pockets, as we may depend on it there is a spurious economy which keeps us poor as effectually as if we were the vciiest spendtlirifts that ever breathed. For instance a man has a farm; he works early and late, and yet at the year’s end can scarcely make two ends meet. And why! The reason is as clear as the sun at noon-day. His farm is not half cultivated; the results of modern science and skill are not taken ad- vantage -of by him, whilst his neighbor, who purchases the best l’loughs, Harrows, Stump Ma- chines, Mowers, Reapers, &c. that be can got, and usesother’s experi- ments and labor to his otvn advant- age, is increasing in prosperity and comfort. Such an one kHOWs how to "make hay when the sun shines.” He cleares his land, pre- pares his foil, and reaps his grain after the most approved method, and as a matter of course, reaps‘a splendid reward. The incalcu- lable superiority of machine over hand labor is now acknowledged by all. Not only will machines do the workbetter, but also cheaper than can be done by hand, as is proved by the, statement of Mr. Shaw, of England, aégivén in the York Herald of November 18, I859, where he states that the cost of attempts at Totvnsbip prohibition.

We rather fear from what we have seen, that there are but few temperance men with sufficient soul in them to understand well the resources and strength of the vices to which they are the sworn foes. But, say our friends, we have tried to get a Prohibitory Law, and we failedâ€"'â€" ‘Q-uite true you did fail, and we fear that if you tried to-morrow you would find to your cost that this your pet scheme has lost ground. Justice also compels us to add that our temperance friends are not the valiant soldiers thath be more marked still, as we cannot get labor so cheap here. This point settled, the next thing is to buy a‘ good article, for a bad mav chine is dear at a-gift. ' The Messrs. Patterson dc Bro. of this place, as will be seen by rev ferring to aunt-her column, pro- fess to make the best Agricul- turalalmplements in Canada; and we feel bound in justice. to them, to say that this is'no em ty boast.

In lowing from a letter inserted in the 15th. 1859, from R. Marsh, Esq., J .P., a gentle- man well known ‘in these parts, being an extensive and eminently practical farmer: “ Tot-he Editor of the YorkHerald. '“ Sm,---I consider it a duty that I owe to the farmingcommunity of this neighbourhood, to express in a public manner my entire satisfac- tion willie. Mowing Machine that] purchased from Messrs. Patterson 8: Brother, Farming Implement Ma- nufacturers-of this place, it being far superior to any mowing ma- chine that I have seen heretofore, having cut 8 acres of hay in eight hours without changing horses, al- though the weather was oppres- sively hot, and without extra driv- ing, as the draft was less than that of a pair of light seed barrows. It also does its work in a. superior ‘man‘ncr.” We will only add that it is quite free from side-draught; has self- clearing guards which renders clogging impossible, and is per- fectly under the control of the driver, being raised and lowered at pleasure without stopping or slackening the pace of the team; and its being constructed of iron and'stecl, renders it very durable. They have also constructed a Combined Machine, which offers the following advantages over competitors. It is made entirely ofiron, except the seat and pole, the weight being so disiributed as to give the greatest amount of strength; with the least weight of iron, all parts that are liable to strain are made very strong. The guard fingers. are fastened to the machine in a simple manner, re- quiring but fcw bolts, and are eastly remOVed, and. replaced. It has, we believe, the lightest draught of any. combined machine in use, and as a combined machine, will be found A one! The Stump Extractor made by this firm has been much improved and strengthened, and is now capable of uprooting the most formidable stumps to be found in the country. We understand that one has recently been shipped to the world-renowned banker, Baron Rothchilds, of England. The Fanning Mill made by them will be found exceedingly use- ful to every farmers, as ‘it will enable him to have his seed and grain thoroughly cleared; and clean grain will al- ways command the highest price: the foul seeds are separated by this mill in a simple but effectual man- ner. As will be seen by the ad. vertisement, this firm also makes Ploughs of every pattern, and to do all kinds of work. We have al- ways heard these plouglis spoken of as the very type of perfection. To enumerate their excellence would be folly. We have made the above remarks on the Messrs. Patterson‘s Implements, not on our own ipse dixit only, but what we have heard and and could, if necessary, substanti- ate by abundant references. In conclusion, we can confidently say that if farmers want to make money, they must purchase. farmingr imple- ments; and if they want good articles, they cannot do better than purchase of the Messrs. Patterson 8: Brother.
