The CArHoLIcs -OD Sunday last, Bi.h-
op McGILL read from the pulpit of the Catholic Ca
thedra in this city, the pastoral letter of the Arch
bishop of Baltimore and the Bishop. and Prelstes
letter contained the following paragraph On sub-
ject now SO improperly and uojusy agitated In the
party discussions of the day With candid minds it
should be quite sufficient contradiction to the ca
lumny in which the fidelity of Catholics to their
country has been impeached:
Beloved Brethren of the laity, we embrace you
oil with paterna Affection and entreat you to walk
circumspectiy, for the days are evil. You know
what manner of preeepts we have given you 10 the
God your qualification. Be pesceful, sober, just
and faithful in the performance OF all duties towards
all mankind. Practice patience, forbeArance, chart
tg tow In the exercise at your rshts az free
citizens. remember your responsibility to God, and
act freemen. but not as having liberty . cloak
for malice but the servants ct God. Respect and
obey the constituted, suthotties for all power 10
from God and they that resist, resist tho ordinances
of God, and purchase for themselves damnation. To
the general aud State governments you owe alle-
glance 10 all that regards the civil ORDER the author
ties Of the Church CHALLENGE your obedience in the
things of salvation. We hsye no need of pressing
this distinction which you fully unde rstsnd and
stantly observe You know that we have uniformly
taught you both publicly and privately. to perform
all the duties Of good citizens, and that we have
never exscted OF you, a. we ourselves have never
made even to the highest any
ENGAGEMENTS inconsistent with the duties We owe to
he country and its laws. $3.50

mdable a. !. the combination for this purpose, we
do despair thst the justice and good sense OF the
nation will soon discover the grouudess character
of the suspic on thrown the fidelity of Catholics
whose religion teaches them to respect and
