the word "pZisoner" would be criticised, and
1t would be denied that his libsrty was in

Iial-uanaly, by bolts and hars. Thera WAS
arother kir1 Of imprisonment, which WAS
moral, and the injustice &nd the wrong Of
those WHO Were mighty could II eHectually bar
the door, and render it impossible for the
Vicar OF our Divine Lord to Set hia feet in the

but handful, aud = voice crying in the vii

caught up from Lind 10 land, from ono CAtho-
lie people to another, and Was now enc;1rlfng

TeslIng win the only principle OF unity ID ths
world. The government Of King Victor
Emmanuel had undertaken = task which for
thousand ye.1n had taxed the strength and
cunning Of Enporors and hiogs, none Of

when France and Germany, who were now
locked in deadly conflict. should be raleased
and should retum to such calmness - to i'd
nit Of delbeEation Christian Europe would
kow that there Was m interest higher than
that Of civil o1det-the Christian order Of the

cnca OF moral countenance, the wrong they
