standing these repetitions, had our space al
lowed. ,.,.
out of our own Archdiocese there is no OBJ
litigation to give such documents in ertenso. 1t
is matter purely within the purview and dis
erection of the editor to give the whole none
without mourning censure or giving UNI

guage of the highest ecclesiastical authority
in the diocese, with, full sanction to make this

seem to be any thing unseeinly in this explana
ton, we disclaiul most heartily the slightest
intention of offending. Surrounded as we are
ay enemies of faith, we cannot afford to
have our usefulness lessened, when a'iSGRd will

acknowledge, eIideaxered TO render servieetto
a holy cause. At no. Instant day, It is to be
hoped, its present conductors Will be replaced
by ablcr champions; but until that time ar
rives, it will best subserxe the cause which all
have at heart, not to- hettralizs its power Of

We will avail ourselves of the earliest oppor-
snnity to draw upon the Pastoral for further
extracts
