The CAAIsstAN then said :-Gentlemen am not going
to trouble you with speech but very few words may
be found necessary. Isuppose every person has read
the requstion and knows that the obec. is to sympa-
thie with the people of Ireland their efforts to esab
lish Catholic University There Is not In the world
any people who better deserve sympathy than the
oppressed Catholics Of Ireland II to consider
the extent Of the injuries inflicted upon them the
duration of the prosecutions they have suffered, there
is other people in the world equally oppressed By
called Christian government II Is not
to enter into detail Of thousandh part of those
injuries, which volumes could not contain. Had the
Catholics Of Ireland been subjects to tho Grand Turk
they would have bad more enty and less persecution
than under the Christian Queen Of England We have
learned from the notice calling the meeting that may
expec. 20 hear this occasion worthy Archbishop
(3rest cheerug) 1t would be wrong, in my opinion,
and you would deem it so II detained you from the
