MIR MAIIORY-The morning of yesterday was en-
crossed in discussing question which presume can meet
at the hands of this body practical legislation and a.
one Of It's members think necessary to say word in
relation to that discussion But for remark of the hon
orable Senator from North Carolina Mr. Badgory which
will, think, be productive of MISUNDERSTANDING should
which | alude see in this morning report of
yesterdays proceedings. He then read what was said
after Mr. Cass had finished yesterday do not know
whether the remarks of the honorable senator from
North Carolina and the introduction Of the paper to
(which he refers were made ironically or not whether
he meant TO say than that Legislation upon this
srhec ne nresened by the honorable Senator from Mich
,yan woud be as wise and wiser perhaps, than the
legislation presented by the Senator from North Carolina
himself Perhaps the latter was inc ucNel however
Sir as il has lust been introduced nio this body it will
certainly unless explanation be made give rise to
come feeling and some misapprehenson In relation to
ISHeDherd ot The valley am happy to sta'c heTe ana
state il because it is act OF justice due 20 over two NIL
lions Of citizens that the paper called Ihe ShPerd @
fbe IoIz is not an organ mOuthpece or an exponent
of the opinions religious or otherwise, OF any Cdtholc
Church or creed in the United States, but that ihc
Bishop of ST. Louis himself has condemned and in crc
lar letter cautioned the Catholics of his diocese against Its
dangerous utraism Therefore SIR, 1t Is mat would say
that inference should be drawn from anything OF
tutorn LOYALTY and fidelity Of this large body OF our fell
low-cizcns. 1t is the first time IN tins pody a' nave
ever heard directly or indirectly the creed OF any Po
fon Of our citizens presented As matter OF dscuoh
II is the first time that have ever known any mmoef
ths body to feel il necessary to rise ana say wod upon
fbe subject and certainly do not wish or design 10 do
more than to correct any misapprehonson whch may
arise from the remarks of the Senator IRON Nort Caro
lima If thought proper TO say more-ii 'n3usnl "
necessary or proper enter into defense OF me chch
4 coud take nv stand here in the Senate OF the UAed
States and fearlesy appeal to the body Tor the cohrh-
ton of the fact that from the settlement oi e colos 10
the present hour creed has ever exhDcn more iooa
ton more spirit of genteness and OF concila'lon III hS
country might too appeal to the fact that the Cqth-
ocs OF Colonial Maryland having the power 10 csaosh
religions distinctions privileges and disabilities refused 10
exercise it, and set noble example of religious toeration
might appeal to your ships anu your armies
and show that majority, Of thl1 creed mar mar
your decks and fill your ranks. might bring mo review
ali the departments of civil life, and show them adorned
by the highest talent and character taken from the mem
bers of that creed And Sir, might show hG' III select
ing the chaplans of your army and navy filled as they
are with majority of Catholics you have passed then
by and we have Catholic chaplals for our Gam one
sailors and soldiers Sir, in relation to these demas o
senure in foreign countries, which the honorable s>el
ator from Michigan brought to our notice Yesterday nave
nothing to say but that deplore tnem; pu' 40 nolo
us sconceive this matter nor concea rom ourselves o
fact that at least large portion of the Protestant Eps
copa members this country at thus very hour Is reiu
ing the unbaptzed their ceremonies OF sepu1re mgh'
hor in relation n the performance OF these ceremo-
nes to which the Senator from Michigan alluded yester
(ay without fear of contradiction that N ms country, a.
this moment the feeling of the Catholic Church III thc
nte States is in opposition the refusal OF those cere
monies but Sir have desire to discuss the subject al
all. The only object which have IN rsinS, ~ @ 10 say
that no inference against the dsloyaty oi hesc persons
should be drawn from the ultrasm OF new spapr "osc
authority is disclamed by the Bishop OF me pocesc "
which il is published ,.a..., mad, .D,, re
mark Yesterday and should be soTy to make amy remark
at any tme which would expose the honorable senator
from Florida to unpleasant sentiment o respect o".
really do not understand for what purpose IN nonc.pe 9

morning. The reason why mentioned nydserday IS,

body can be at once made manifest ihe S'enatoS2h
