Catholic hearts by seeing you In . land which is so
the race Of the Christian civilization to know how to

that We would address to the Sovereign Pontif. But
We shall have no opportr nifty to do There too
many nations baptised BY the church who vie with
each other to do honor to the Pope, to afford the
necessity OF meeting him ON these shores.
This Is certainly extraordinary language to be
used towards the United States. His Holiness the
Pope would be secure of safety in the United
States-his person would not be liable to ASSAULT
and we are certain that he would not be driven
from his pontifical residence il he had one here
as he was by his own Catholic subjects in Rome.
We do not see, therefore, why the "consecrated
foot" Of Plus the Ninth might not bear him with
great proprlety to the United States. Funds could
be collected and a Vatican could be built IN which
he might transact the duties of the Pontlfcate as
readlly-and with more safety to his personals he
could in any part Of Europe, even III Rome.
BY the way, what is the meaning OF the follow
ing letter, which we find in the same Freeman's
Jounai-the recognised organ Bishop Hughes
addressed to the editor of that Journal-
"R ROOM, ST. JoHs's COLLEGE, FoRDmAM, y,

HSIR-With many thanks for Jour previous kind.

admit Of no censorship OF st Johns Reading Room

Cor. Secretary"
This is certainly brief and sweet. 1t is, how
ever. TO the point. The Freeman's Journal, Ia re-
ply for excluding it from the College, threatens to
take measures t. ascertain at the College on whom
rests the responsibility of excluding that paper
frcm the Reading. Room Of ST. Johns College.
