Extract from tho Address Of Aroh. Bishop Pur
cell ct the Inauguration, Of the Co tholis
Institute, Cincinnati. Ag4&9B b 1NAQ

Everywhere throughout the world the clouds
hang in darkness It would seem as If the
death knell of our glorious Union had already
been heard; that it was to be dismembered
and torn into fragments, that State would part
from State, and cities from the States to which
they belong.
Oh! what ia the treason of those men who
thus sacrifice the noblest hope of mani And
who is there that would not lay down his life a
willing sacrifice, to preserve the Union Of these
States2 A Union that is modelled after that oi
our Church, which allows every man the lar
gest liberty in doing right, and only restrains
him when he attempts evil.
The Catholic Church is conservative, and
around the one idea of union, all its-principles
revUlve and grayitate. What is the principle Of
secession, but the carrying out of the principles
of private Judgement There is an incident
recorded in Holy Writ, in which. il is stated
that whenever dead body was found upon the
highway, all whose steps led from the spot
were brought to the corpse and made to sve:t
that they were Eot the murderers, IL il should
so be, that our Union is to be severed, every
Catholic in the land may come, and extending
bis hand over the bier, say 81 am guiltless Of
its death" When you look around this hall,
and see the beautiful stars and stripes which
adorn it, pray, oh pray that the hideous rattle
