1t is always instructive and interesting
to hear the opinions Of those whom We
know to have bettcr facilities of informa-
ton than ourselves, concerning persons and
events that stand prominently forward in
the history of this generation. For this
reason we give the following extracts on
Spanish AFFAIRS from recent editorials
in two of tho leading Catholic papers Of
the world the first appearing in the Uni-
GERS of February 23rd, over the signature
of that great journalist, Louis Veuillot, who
has won the admiration and gratitude OF
all Catholics and has received the special
thanks Of tho Pope for his, defence of the
Church; tho second being taken from an
editor ial by Mr.. McM aster, in the Freemans
Journal of March Goth.
Says Louis VeuilIot: "Accrpt who will
these chances-for our part, We propose to
French Conservatives to oppose them re-
solutely"--meanins the propable tenden-
cies of the present French Government to
recognise the pseudo Republic in Spain
"and to recognize Charles VII. as King of
Spain, and aid him oil they can"
Don Carlos of Spain holds aloft the
banner OF Christian civilization in Europe.
Honor and right are in the camp of the
small number of courageous men who rise
for him. There, they pray and fight to
keep themselves from subiection to advon-
turers who bring with them shameful laws
and shameful gods. There, they do not
quail either before the might OF avewed
subversionists, Or Reimbursement of we'll
meaning populations. There, good men
brave death, with no other ambition than
that of doing their duty and saving their
hsnor. The heart of tho Spanish nation,
and it's good sense, are with Don CarloA
He has no lack Of soldiers, he wants only
arms. What rme he has have been taken
from the enemy. Let arms be given him
and he will soon hays armies; one bat
tallton provided with arms will arm q
regiment.
s'Let the Conservatives mako tue exper-
imenG with the tF0CpS or the Spanish Re-
public. Theywiit To what men arc worth
who fight for their.altars and theit homes
aud overthrow, the other" -,
Says McSIaster; Don. Carlos has been
bred in the school OfTeligiOR, and of Adversely
that is, in tho School Of the Gross. He 10
young yet-yery young to be king of SO
great nation as Spain, in such trOublous
times. But St.i Ohm, the beloved disciple, in
his old age, addressed himself to yos.nS mon!
he spoke, also,, out Of regard "a the old
Gentlemen GSoHse grOtO old before their time!
The Apostle Of love recognizes these vene.
rabies. He spoke TO thom, because they
"hdro kRO'rn tho TRUTH lie spoke, als0.
to the little ones, or Oabes-thOse converted
but with their trials all beV0fe thsmR He
spoke kindly to them, because ssther aims
had been forgiven them" HeIes are the
two extremes of life, the beginning aud the
ending, cOHrtcoWsiy treated-but not mu0h

period Of life, nsotsrs yOWth, tho Appetite of
love holds another language ''Becauso Ys
