ARCHBISHOP HUGHES AND THE PROPHET BRIG
HAM YouNG-WHAT A CONTRAST I'VE publish
to-day the late speech Of Archbishop Hughes
to the Benevolent Irish Society Of Newfound-
land, on the occasion of complimentary din
ner to +" his Grace" and the other prelates of
the Catholic church and we also lay before
our readers, in these columns certain extracts
from the latest ecclesiastico- political speeches
of the Mormon prophet, Brigham Young, at
Great Salt Lake. What contrast! Could
anything be imagined more at variance than
these speeches Of these two conspicuous men!
Mark how they run.
The speech Of the Archbishop is full of peace
and good will. He lie pleased with almost
everything. He can find no ground Of re-
proach against President Pierce or the demo-
cratic party. Could the benevolence Of even
an archbishop go further than this? Nothing
reproach-all right-Mormonism, Greytown,
hard shells, soft shells, short boys and all. 1t
will be great news, however, to the divided
democracy to hear from the Archbishop that
Mr. Pierce is worthy of the Office he fills They
are divided upon that subject but now they
will certainly unite unless it should be con-
cluded that the Archbishop felt bound to en-
dorse Mr.. Pierce, being in foreign country.
He could hardly do less under the circum-
stances This speech at Newfoundland, in
fact, should not be considered as democratic
speech for home consumption. 1t was not in
tended to rally the Catholic vote in the United
States to the support of Mr.. Pierce at the Gin
cinnati Democratic National Convention.
Who could think SO? Nor was it intended to
bring the Catholics Of New York to the sup
port of the soft shell ticket in our November
election. Nothing of the sort.
The Archbishop was in kindly humor at
Newfoundland, the result no doubt of good
dinner including fresh Goldfish, genial spirits,
cordial welcome, and general good feeling.
How else could be, have treated the Know
Nothings so leniently? What a fine opportu-
nifty he had for tearing them to pieces; but
mark how affectionately he deals with them.
The Catholics will not leave the society of their
American Know Nothing friends but if the
latter wish to separate, they can go. Is not
this about as far as Christian charity could be
exercised in the premises? We should like to
know.
Now mark the contrast between this aflec-
tionate peace-promoting speech and the latest
pronuneiamentos of the false prophet, Brigham
Young. Take the following extract for sam
pie. He is speaking, of course, of Joe Smith,
the Mormons and their sanity institution of
polygamy:-
Up to this time we have carried the world on our
backs Joseph did it in his day, besides carrying this
whole people, and now all this is upon my back, with
my family to provide for at the time, and will
carry i all and bear off the Kingdom Of God And you
may pile State after State kingdom after kingdom, and
all hell on top and we will roll on the Kingdom Of
God gather out the seed Of Abraham build the cities
and temples Of zon and establish the Kingdom Of God
to bear rule all The EARTH and e. the oppressed of
all nations free. have never yet talked rough in
these mountains as did in the United States when they
killed Joseph. there said boldly and aloud, If ever
should lay his hands and say, ION account of
my ieigion you are my prisoner" the Lord Almighty
feel now. Let mobbers keep their hands of from
me, or will send them where they belong; am always
prepared for such emergency.
This conveys the idea that the Prophet car
ries revolver, and from some other extracts
in another part of this paper, there is some
danger that he may be called to use it ere
long in defence of his monopoly of ninety-sx
wives and two hundred children.
Briefly, while the whole tone Of the Archbi
shops speech is that of Christian charity and
peace, the whole spirit of the Mormon Pro-
phet's is war to the knife. And yet if the
Archbishop is right, the prophet of Mormon
dom cannot be far wrong, for he is Governor
OF Utah, under the authority of Mr. Pierce;
and the Archbishop tells us there is no ground
of reproach against" his administration. In
this sweeping approval OF Mr.. Pierce the pro-
phet is endorsed by the Archbishop, and thus
we leave all three together.
