A SHALL TxxpHsr.-Ths statsmsots in the

per, in reference to the Language used ~ the
boys At the recent exhibition OF the Public
Schools. led ~ 10 inquire into the fsess. We
were prepared 70 hear that gross inpro-
priesy, il mot outrage spon the fsslises Of
Catholics, had been psrpssrsted by The oon-
s,nivaDce Of the teachers. But the facts give
different showing. 1t appears that four Of
the boys were pittsd in . debate, and they
selected : subject which led them to discuss
the relative evils Of foreign emigration and
African slavery. Some Of The boys, nasu-
rally enough, rsprodsosd from their elders
many bard sayings against the Catholics,
and sbassd then in good ~ terms. Others
raksd up the evils Of slavery. And the ora
tors on the other side replied 10 the allega-
tons sevsrally, defended the Catholics seal
ously, said oil the good they knew Of them,
and on the slavery qusstios, deplorsd the
evils Of agitasion, and % On. This, We I'm.
derstand, was The whole Of il; and, truly, VI
don't SOC anything herein 70 make pothsr
about; and certainly nothing that could hurt
the feelings Of . Catholic specially Of any
Catholic who has been sending children to
the school.
We know very we'll that Catholics would
not object to discussion q any time, II
fairly conducted; and We are decidedly Of the
opinion thae II il more useful and more sen.
