w y
fatal series of lugubrious days which sad
den your life, to us so dear. 1t is, indeed
the affection and devotion we feel toward
you which calls us here this day, when
horde of the enemies of God and of Hi:
Church complete the nefariOus act of sacri
legious violation of your rightsjby the in.
auguration of the Parliament in this august
city. If so many ungrateful and ignorant
children lacerate your heart anfE4hsult the
venerable gray hairs Of their Father, you
still have thousands on thousands of other
children with hearts more loving which
beat for you, and who find every sweetness
/ in alleviating your griefs and in sharing
your anxieties and afflictiOns. Let, then,
the impious meet in council to conspire
! against us, but they shall not succeed in sep
arating us from your throne or instil terror
and rebellion into our souls. Neither mock
ings nor prosecutions will ever b, able to
break the seal OF faith which God Himself
has impressed upon our hearts,
Then, with congratulations for his vigor-
Gus health ard cheerfulness, which was con-
sidered to bea pledge that the Virgin would
not desert him who had proclaimed her
greatest glory on earth. the address ended
with the usual benediction. Finally no5iL-
tssimo representative of the strangers at
present in Rome ono name gi5en) read anoth-
er address so entirely of the same nature
that it is unnecessary | should give it. The
OSscrratorc then gives resu,ns of the POpe's
reply, on which need not dwell, as regards
those portions which had reference to the
Church of Christ being planted on q rock
which shall not be shaken by the fury of
the tempest, but will pass TO where the
Ossvrat0re SAYS:
"He condescended finally TO speak of that
concliation blated forth by the impious,
who had even gone so far, this last few days,
as to fOreshadow it by abusive pictures, con-
cilia,ion by which the enemies of God hope
to conquer our noble resistance and disarm
our holiest rights, and here, raising his
voice, he protested sclemDly that no concil-
iatiOn could ever be possible between Christ
and Belial, between the light and the dark
ness, between truth and falsehood, and then,
raising his eyes and arms to heaven, he
prayed the Omnipotent TO sustain the force
of His Vicar in tile hard struggle, and to
lortify, by Divine aid. his constaucy, offer
ing to sacrifice his life sooner than yield to
the insane devices of triumphant iniquity."
80 much for the words of Plus the Ninth.
His actions, however. have of late shown 8
klndlier feeling toward the arch offender.

Not the least important part in yGstcr-
days proceedings was the demonstration
made by the working classes. These in
Rome are divided INTO numerous clubs and
unions. BY mutual consent in the quie,cst
and most unobtrusive manner. unheard OF

The density of the crowd N the Curso
