Too CJataoJic C'tasrcau ICtntintuJ-l j Injlalgencss, in th ordinary, or what may be called the everyday pr;tice extend only t the grating of the laity to eat certain meat, or abateln from sertaia formal fasts, and observsoces, from cooeidentiona of eliDeM, convenience, Ac ARTICLE XXIII. I do acknowledge the holy CathoHc and apoetelia Roman Church to be the mother and ratetress of all churches; and I do promise and

swear Use obedience to the Bishop of Rome, the successor of Peter, the prince of the Apeetlee,

and the Vicar of Jeaus Christ ExrosrwoH.-Tbe Catholic doctrine is follow: That St. PeUr was head of the church nder Christ that the pope, or BUhop of Rome, ie at present head of the church, and Christ's vicar upon earth. This they attempt to prove by the unanimous consent of the fathers, and the tradition of the church, and say that St. Peter translated his chair from Ant loch to Rome. lie nee the see of Rome in all ages has been eallcd the see of Peter tha chair of Peter; and absolutely the see apostolic; and in that quality baa, from the begi&ning, exercised jurisdiction orer all other churches. The Church of Rome they call the mistress and mother of all churches; because her bishop is SL Peter's successor, and Christ's vicar upon earth, and consequently the father and pastor of all the faithful; and therefore this church, as bting St. Peter' see, ie the mother and mistress of all churches.

Pope Boniface VIII. in his canon law, asserts and decrees as follows: "Moreover we declare, and say, and define, and pronounce to every human creature, that it is alse necessary to salvation, to be subject to the Roman pontiff." It (a proper here to caution the reader against the notion that Roman Catholics, in admitting the pope's supremacy, or primacy, hold that the pope'a power over the Christian world ia of a temporal nature: it has no such extension. The. pope's authority over his own temporal dominions, which ha holds as any other sovereign, is, of course, not purely of an ecclesiastical kind. As far as relates to local discipline, the pope has bat a, limited authority; even in the cbnrch of which he ia recoguixed as the head. ARTICLE XXIV. I do undoubtedly receive and profess all other things, that are delivered, defined by the sacred canons and (Ecumenical councils, and especially by the holy Synod of Trent: and all other things contrary hereunto, and all heresies condemned, rejected, and anathematized by the church, I do likewise condemn, reject, and anathematize.

Exposition. The intolerance here manifest ia

evidently directed against "things" rather than

persons. They are heresies, real or supposed,

that are condemned, rejected, and anathematized,

and not the persona of the heretics. It ought

not, however, tot be denied; or concealed, that

this, famous bull, a it ia culled, which bears date

Ha 1 fA r r a f u a t o i mmm An all

those who dare dispute, its statement. This solemn "bull, concerning the form of an oath

of profession of faith," all ecclesiastical persons,

whether secular or regular, and all military or

dera, are obliged to take and subscribe as fellows: "This trie Catholic faith, without which no one ean be saved, which at this present time I de of my own accord profess and sincerely bold, I, the same N.' N. do promise and vow, and swear, and Ood assisting me, most constantly to retain and confess, entire and unvlolated, to the last breath of my life; and so far as in me lies, I will like-1 wise take care that it shall be held, taught, sni preached by my subjects, or those the ear of whom belongs to me, in the discharge of ray office." The exclusive character of the Roman Catholic religion is its worst feature; in doctrines, of ft purely theological nature, it differs little from the reformed churches: 5c dicipline it is more rigid: but iu the exclusive spirit, which it almoe1 everywhere breathes, It ia more uniformly ex

plicit, and expressive tSau all others. It is true

that many sects and parties "do not see how a

roan can be saved holding such and such a creed,

differing from their own;" but, then, w do not, Ilk the Roman Catholic, call person heretics,

and anathematize them at the repetition of every

doctrine, consigning them, to the blackness of

darknes for ever and ever, because they do net

say our Shibojeth in every particular. Rjtu, CMqiit ano PsAcncrs or Roman CrBoycs, It Is. well known that the Roman Cajholic perform divine service in. the Latin te.QUe. The. Council of Trent decreed that this, nght to be the. case. Tbia practice, was, introduced so early u the year 666; a very oroinoua Bomber,, being no other, than the number of the beast, mentioned in the holy scriptures, that beast bejng, as proteitanta believe, no other than the Chjirch ot Rome; though some Ignorant catho. Ufa have declared that it meant the famous Doctor Martin Luther; and several later writers, that, it applies to Napoleon Bonaparte, now fallen life- Babylon of old. However this may be, the Church, of Rome baa, chosen to have all her Mes performed In the Latin tongue; bnt for tqe instruction of tbelgnorapt,all those prayers, . a translated into the roother-tpneue.

I,thas been said, bit,witbput.fonndtion, that U9,Romuj Catholics forbid, the use of the holy mifiturej In the vulgar tongue; they now hav numerous translations, in us among the lsitv as wejl aa ameag the eJergy; but the church doe no encourage 4ny translation, besides her own.

greatest exactness with regard to th high altar,

wnere Christ's body, or th host, ia generally

deposited. Th clerks mart he dressed in their

surplice when they approach It. and fcsmediater ly kneel down ana ad or th holy sacrament. Certain rule are likewise t be observed in th change of the ornaments; the whole f which must be blessed, crossed, Ate. and sprinkled with hoty, or consecrated water. The sam formalities are to be observed w ith respect to th TmtACLt of th alter, to th pyx, that is, th box wherein the boot is locked spend th corporal a which they consecrate; In all which they are to provide every thing of the greatest value; neither gold, silver, nor pre

cious stones, are spared to adorn it; and th

most splendid production of art contribute to it lustre. Tapers s re set on the right and left side, which must be mad of white wax, except in offices for th. dead, etc. Thar must be a crucifix in, alto relievo, on the altar; which is generally of curious workmanship. This crucifix must be so placed, that the foot may be as high as th top of the candlestick. There are, also, sundry cruets, basins, &e. for washing; also, a little bell, to be rung at what is called th sanctus, and th two elevations, or Ilftlajt-up, of the host The clerk must tinkle it twica at each sanctus; and at th two elevation nine time, viz, thrice when the priest kneels down; thrice when he elevate the hoet, and thrice When, hj sets it down Upon the altar. The sam formalities are observed in regard to the chalice, or cap.

The alter is inclosed within rails generally of

curious workmanship, and the whole service is conducted with solemnity and great ceremony.

It will be proper her to explain, a well as I

can, "obscured as they are to the mist of antiquity," soma of these ceremonies, and of th

vestment with which th priest are decorated ot) their solemn occasions. Th Rev. Peter

Gandolphy, a learned priest of the metropolis,

has given sufficient explanation of them in bis preface to hi edition of the liturgy, published a few years ago. These ceromonies, composed,

as he says, for the edification of th faithful,

were mostly intended to bear a mystical signifi

cation; though convenience and propriety often dictated the adoption of aome. Thus th pray

ing; with uplifted hands, in imitation of Moses, mystically expresses the elevation of our thoughts to God. Si. Paul also gives a mystical reason for th custom of men praying uncovered in churches; and even to many of their ceremo

nies which propriety has introduced, the church

has added a mystical sens. Thua the altera in

the Roman Catholic lhurches are alwaya raised

above the level of the pavement, that the people

may more easily observe the mysteries a they

are celebrated; yet, in thia the church proposes

to herself a meaning of a mystical kind, which

is that they are the altars of meditation between

heaven and earth.

In the same manner the stored vestments were, we are told, originally common garments, In universal us when first introduced into the offices of religion. Tbe several vestments are

called by the fallowing names: The chasuble

end dalmatic: these wer colored dreaaee, cor

responding in shape to the French frock worn

by the laboring; peasants: convenience has

taught the Catholics to leave the seems unsewed

at the side. Th cope. This is an exact pat

tern of a modern trooper's cloak. The stole thie wss a similar cloak , more resembling a tip

pet, or a Spanish mantle, which the scissors have

gradually narrowed to its present shape. The

mauuple was originally a cloth, hanging from

the left arm, to wipe the face. The amice u a cloth tied over the head; used1 perhaps for

warmth and so placed that it might be drawn

back upon the neck and shoulders at pleasure.

The alb was the universal under garment of all ranks, full, and reaching down to the heels; and

ia still the common dree of the Asiatics. The

girdle was a cord necessary to confine it close to the body. The surplice was a abort loose whit drees, and so called because occasionally

wore ever a drew made of the fur and hair of

animal.

Wasrwoton, Jubo 19, 1850. Siwat After the transaction f th morn

log business, and the consideration of various

Mils of no general interest, the omnibus bill was taken op, the question pending being on Mr. Hale's amendment of yesterday relative to the future formation of two new states out of the territory of California. Mr. Footo moved to amend the amendment by inserting a provision that saM state shall be admitted with or without slavery, a their mo.

Mr. Davl, of Miss., moved to amend the 21st section, by adding a provision repealing all laws pre-existing in the territories restricting, abridging, or obstructing the right of property of

every kind except under the law and th constitution of th United States.

Mr. Hale moved to amend the amendment by

adding th proviso, excepting from the repealing clan the law abolishing slavery.

Mr. Clay was sgainU both th proviso and

the amendments. II bad attp posed that there waa an understanding in th Senate that there
