Messrs. Gales and Scaton will oblgc a verv
large number Of their most attentive rceders iy
giving place to the following closing sentences cf
an address Of the Bishops ct the Catholic Church
recently assembled in Council at Baltimore. The
advice conveyed in it partakes clearly Of those
sentiments Of heavenly charity and patriotic de-
votion which should characterize the true. Chris
tian. that think it deserves wide circulation,
and Therefore solicit place for it in your ivide
Iy read journal. l may add that have for near
ly forty years attended n Catholic church, and
can with great truth say that have neser heard
from pulpit altai, word sentence conflict
ing inconsistent with the seritineas aud priri-
ciples ol this address.
