we can, that God may bless, and promote
to the throne of Spain, If according to His
Holy viii, this chivalrOus young man. he
royal prsp he he cries "IfI forget thee,
o Holy Church. let my right hand be for
gotten " make not thee the begin
ming of my joys!"
We know that prosperity mare, too Of
ten, what adversely has made to he good.
Human nature Is very fraghe. BUT, aiter
must have faith in good intentions. 1t 10,
therefore, that We say we are going In our
own family, to offer our communions, nexS
Sunday, for one of the t,co princes that
dare to say that they are children OF tire
Vicar Of Christ, and that, il they come to
the kingdoms OF their several fathers, tney
will rule as sons OF the Catholic Church.
We make this open declaration for no
other reason than to suggest to Others OF
our Catholic friends, the idea of doing the
same thing. And we take great pleasure
in utterly deriding those shallow pates,
who ought to have FOOLS caps put on them,
that think we are using more than our
most secured liberty, in saying that, like
other people, are are the friends OF those
that sustatn our prin ciples, and the opponents
of those that combat them ~
On this subject we have also the follow
ing from the New York Tablet, which points
out the other of tho two princes who "dai es
to say that he is child of the Vicar of
Christ ~
What Don Carlos is to Spain and the
Spaniards the Count do Chambor is to
France and the French, the hope OF all that
is high and holy, and pure and noble, III a
patton Catholic at heart, and loyal and
chivaIrous as Christian nation must ever
be. The wise aud tho good in both coun-
f,iac 1Nnlr IN tliaaa nr IA the anchor Mt
hope, the pillar OF safety for their respective
countries. Both are eminentiy piOus, full
of zeal for religion, and animated by the
traest patriotism. If it be true, as Louis
VeuillOt says, that Don Carlos of Spain
holds aloft tho banner of Christian CT Villa
tion in Europe, precisely the same may be
said of Count do Chambord, the only diff
erence being that the Spanish Bourbon is
trying to conquer his enemies and the enc
mics of religion by the sword, and has
committed his cause to the God of Battles,
whereas the French Bourbon is opposed to
war, and rests his hope for ultimate sne-
oess ia tho God of Peace. In his recent.let
ter to Bishop Dupanloup this. pious prince
preclaims his principles anew. Amongst
other admirable things, he says: -
az have, then, neither sacrifices to make
nor conditions to receive. ! expect little
from the capacity of men, and,m uch from
tho justice Of God. When ths trial becomes
TOO clOCeT, q iooh tO"aE0S tho te-
wives courage and strengthens hope. 1t is
in the school of the Apgust Captive. that
one acquires the spirit of firmness, resign
alton, and peace that peace which is as
sured to every one who takes his con:
science for guide, and Plug *. for model"
Relying on the justice of his cause, Henri
W., AS he styles himself and is styled by
old loyalists of France, calmly waits for
Gods appointed time and the will of the
nation to Mace him on the throne of his
ancestors, while Charles VII, Of Spain,
likewise hailed a. sovereign prince by
many at home and abroad, is engaged in a
handto hand struggle with the armed Ro-
volution which has, for the present, it's
heel on the Church and people of Spain.
The attitude of the two princes is grand
and impr, s,ive, tho one fighting and pray
rug, the other praying aud waiting. The
issue both leave in tho hands of that God
whose cause is theirs. For Him and for
His Church, for the family, for society
threatened with destruction, still more
than for their. own personal advantage,
they assert their rights.
