grsmme, ave (The Erpress) shall have 70 advise al
"youDg men to marry only the st. Vincent Catholic
girls"
In the foregoing remarks, The Erpress traces the
origin Of divorce to the undgnifed belly, which,
though useful for man life, ought not TO be The In
spirstions of his moral action And pow the close,
Ihe Express advees " all Young men to marry only
" the st. Vincent Catholic girls
The Ner- York Express, if il were not excep-
tional Journal might have inferred that dehcacy would
warrant him in avoiding all slUsion, in such an au-
dence, and before such class of beautiful children
and young ladies' ranging from Elk years 10 eighteen
to allude TO the question Of marriage at ALL although
it would be legitimate subject TO treat Of Bat, in
Catholic education, there is shrinking from the dis
bishop, prematurely on the Ingenious add innocent
hearts Of the children whom he would have oocasou
address. ....
The Express advises, alphabetically, "aD young
men to marry only the st. Vincent Catholic girls"
There two three difficulties be encountered in
carrying out this proposition. First, all young men,
cannot marry only the 81. Viocent Ca holic girls"
"all young men are too Imerous, and the Catholic
girls of Mt. 81. Vincent" too few for such
rapgemen Again, there not more than four i've
of those young ladies sufficiently advanced in years 70
entertain proposition OF marriage. And aeain, still,
there should be the understanding that IL requires two
to make bargain, even in mauimony; and thus The
ELpresS is extrayagant in requiring that all young
men, shall marry the girls Of Mount St. Viucen.
The thing is absurd and impossible on every side. re
il could be carried out would be injustice toward
other young ladies' perhaps of equal merit. Besides,
there is que stiOn in the back ground which IT, taE
by possibility, the young ladies Of Mount 81. Vincent
would not accept the offers of "all young men" az
candidates presenting their hands for marriage. And
again, even all your mem have no great confidence
in the advice of The Express.
One of its edifors when be was Senator IN tho
State Of New-Yok, volunteered, by egregious de-
paTuTe from truth 10 state in that dgnfed assembly
that the Archbishop being he repres. nted traitor
to this Uni0r owned IS 600 600 10 the island of New
York alone; and thus obtained the enactment of law
injurious to the Archbishop, insulting 10 the whole
Catholic bodybuilding them outside of the ordinary
legislation uDder which other religious denominations
are authorized to transact and manage their own
religious and ecclesiastical Affairs.
The Express in an arti lie just referred to- acknowI-
edges itself Know-Nothiog. Its advise 10 Young
men, would, no doubt refer to young gentlemen OF
its kidney. But. in that case the young ladies Of
Mount ST. Vincent and Of other Catholic institutions,
should be careful before making any contract Of
d arrisge with a Know-Nothng. IT, unfortunately.
their affections should lead them astray for moment.
matter of this kind, their parents and guardians
should TO it, and before the marim ouia contract
is celebrated, they, in their name should
procure or solicit at the proper place, an ounce OF
civet good apothecary." -
