THAT this has been done, many will gmvely de-

To allay and lull the feyersh excitability OF our
people upon this subject, the present suggestion
from the Pope Of Rome comes TO one Of its master
spirits In this country. Native Americans, lookeat

this land and, much more, excite throb OF alarm
from the heart OF the nations confess, for my
self with every sentiment Of Christian charity and
liberation for the Church in this country, regard
II as reproach to her, that she cannot here edu-
cate ministry or priesthood, capable Of promo

member Of that body, should have, and per-
haps express, keener scnsibilitics upon this sub

and constitutional right 70 utter II upon all occa-

out of the Roman Church, as also OF our enfran-
chised foreign citizens, to believe that the task
would be an easy one to destroy 1t, as our active,
living, controlling power in them but ] do not
hesitate to say, that do believe, that If such
a thing can be done, the Co1rtof Rome with the
literature and theology Of the patican would con.
stitute the most potential of all human measures,
TO effect such result, which could be brought TO
bear upon thing so sternly inexorable to the IN
facnces of alienation. FL a,a
Let me warn the Catholic Church Of this coun-
try that a compliance with this suggestion Of the
Pope will serve but to multiply the throbs OF pop
ular agitation, and array against it the more con-
centrated force Of national American sentiment.
Let the Catholic Church III this country elect or
appoint its own bishops and priests enact its own
church canons and regulations; separate itself from
Rome and its king and potentate, and so far as it
is ccncered, agitation ceases This Is but what It
reasonably should do. Until it does this, agitation
WIN not cease and public opinion upon this sub
iect In this country must and @iN preraii. i27
