CATHOLICS AND THEIR POLITICAL Du les
Tie following is the conclusion Of Archbish-
op Hughes's address at New York, on st. Pat
rick;s Day
He said that in our own country, where
there had been lately so much excitement
all of which he trusted would terminate ami
cably-lapplausel- for every man, North and
South, they called it North aud South.) tho
they talked about division ard civil war
there was but one rule for a Catholic where
ever he was; that was to do his duty-to do
mis- duty as citizen. II living south of Ma
son and Dixon's line, he thought those on that
side were right, he ought to fight there ard
if we here thought the other way, We would
fight too lApplanse and laughter. But no
matter how deep and wide they might con-
trive to make the chasm dividia: North and
South in their political relations. they conld
not divide The Catholics on both sides of the
line for. though they might not be very dis
tingu'shed engineers, so far as religion was
concerned they could throw a bridge over the
chasm. [Great laughter and applause.
