HOW ENGLAND RULES IN ROME.
WATERFORD, February 10, 1868.


DEAR SIR: While looking over the columns of the Weev
hegster, came across the following paragraph:
correspondent at Rome informs that certain Mr..
OConnor assistant in the wellknown library of Signor
Flelta In the Piazza Epan ordered away from Rome
at days notice. of certain Fenian speeches he
made against the British Government This is the
individual who tried to have solemn requiem Mass at ST.
andre della Frate in honor of the three executed at
Manchester. Mr. OConnor expelled from Rome by the
direct order of the Pap Government and not account of
any action taken by Mr.. Odo Russell"
Yes, Mr.. OConnor expelled from Rome not to his
disgrace but to his eternal honor He has suffered for his love
for Ireland He dared to be of the same mind with the
majority of his countrymen, including many worthy and
venerated members of the Irish cergy-and what the
consequence? He expelled from Rome. The Weekly
Register denies the action of Mr. Odo Russell. But he
deny that English influence used? Can he deny that
of the principal ecclesiastical dignitaes about the
Court of Rome Engshmen Englshmen by birth
feelingit not. Let Irshmen remember that
England Catholic country when her fierce ruthless
and fathess soldery to aid the execrabe Nc
Murrough in resisting the of his Suzeran OConnor
and for centuries AFTER Catholic English kings waged
unjust for the subjugaon of this country England,
whether Catholic Protestant has been the bitter opponent
and INSCRIPTIONS foe of Ireland Mr. OConnor character
has not suffered by this proceeding had the pleasure of
Mr. OConnors acquaintance while pursuing my studies in
Rome and say of him that he bore excellent char
acer true rishman, and good practical Catholic.
But all his good qualities could shield him from
the persecution of those with whom patriotism and above
ALL the patriotism Of hishme is crime too great for forgive
ness-l am, sir, AN IRISH PRIEST.
