" Resolved—That we have real with inexpressible disgust
and indignation in the Pilot newspaper, of the 29th ult ,
an
article calculated to tarnish the hi,;ll character of the Ifost
Rev. Dr. Crony, our beloved and venerated primate,
asserting that he was incapable of attending the meeting !!!
the prelate: at Maynooth, for the election of professors to MI
the vacant chair in that college, owing to the unusual state
of his mind, and that, from a similar cause he was under the
necessity of retiring from the public discharge of his duties,
and of living in retirement for some time past.
" Knowing that this slanderous and, unprincipled
article
is not only a vile calumny, but a cowardly and sacrilegious
libel on tl.e character of the pious and faithful head of the
Catholic Church in Ireland, we consider it our duty to de-
nounce it, and hold it up to the honest execration of all per;
tions of the Irish public who 'love truth and hate falsehoodt.
It is scarcely necessary for us to add that the following t!c„'
are notorious to the prelates who attended on that oreas'°:
t
at Maynooth, to the professors and students, who were Nr!il
nesses of the uninterrupted attendance of his Grace fur
successive days in the college, presiding over its deliberatiorm.
and taking a prominent part in the examination of theo lheit
spective candidates for office. We are happy to add that
.31
Grace, as usual, continues in the perfect enjoyment of Dieu'
and bodily health.
