Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1873-06-29
toKD RRouGHAM SAYS,

LORD BROUGHAM SAYS,
in substance, that she was tried
without the forms Of law, and
if she had sought to secure her
liberty by taking the life Of Elizabeth,
she would have had complete justifica-
ton. Lord BrOugham was one CT Eng
| lands most famous lawyers and states
men. The truth is, Mary died martyr
| to her religion. The damnable blot
upon a nation that murders an !nno-
cent and defenseless woman is indellible.
! Time never effaces it.
I Passing to a less disagreeable topic,
4 the chief complaint against Colonel Nc
| Rae seems to be that be has robbed the
/ "ScOtch-Irish" of the "equal share IN
! the memories Of st. Patrick" But this
/ is "Iimited conception" of his lecture.
| He certainly neither asserted nor insin-
uated that the "seit-denying mission
aTyv was' not a full-bloOded "ScOtch-
/ Irishman." He did not take up the
yexed question of his birth. But he be-
gan with his capture in Gaul, which is
authenticated; and he assigned him to
the whole o. Ireland; introduced him at
Tara, IN face Of the B0y1e; ascribed to
him the conversion of Ireland from Pa
ganism, and the establishment, not the
introduction therein Of the christian re-
ligiOn. 1t is true, we understood the
lecturer to be Of the opinion that the
holy saint was Roman Catholic bishop,
and he had reason to think so,
SINCE PATRICK
was educated in the Catholic schools
and ordained by the pope, and assigned
to Ireland by the papal dispensation.
We happen to know that Colonel Nc
Rae c0ncurs with "Scotch-Irish, that
Protestant christians could have no OBJ
lection to what he taught; for that gen.
tIeman said to US: 1t seemed to him
| that st. Patrick held the tenets of the
only church in existence in his day,
and with all his study, he said he could
not find how any christian church could
/ travel along any ecclesiastical highway
| from Mount Calvary to any part of the
world without passing through Rome.
| But we have met those who are not so
well content that our tutelar saint
should be located as the ancestor of
| Wickliffe and q protestant dissenter.
/ For a real son Of Erin, who says he is
/ from both sides of the Boyne, said to US
| to-day: "Hav We hard the news? Faix,
/ the Orange thaves of the warld are
| stating away the holy Saint Patrick out
of heaven and making Of him a black
pig.p
making Of him a black pig, says I
"what do ye mean, Paddy"
"What do I name by it. Sure enough
/ / name PrOsbetarian church, in course,
/ that stretches from Enniskillen to Oar.
~. and back again from Dairy to Ennis
killen in the valley of the black pig
! And what do We think they'll be afthel
next? They'll be fetching up Oliver
Cromwell from the Divil's own clutches
bad luck to them both, and making him
out the Pope Of Rome. When Henry
the First, that died many years before
/ I154, was forcing the Culdee churches in
/ Ireland to submit to him in l172-'
"Why," says I, Paddy, where OF
airth did We getsuch an idee ?"
''Tunder and turf, " says he, "didn't
| hear it read out in a Scotch-Irish history
/ published in the morning APPEAL, o
/ Memphis; and don't we all know thai
whativer the APPEAL says is all thrue
! from cholera to the city government anC
church appointments, and rice UersG
which names back again to the begin
ning.n
We couldn't help a smile, but at th'
same time could readily see how Paddy
/ like many other ITishmen, north o.
south Of the Boyne, easily misunder
stand a whole matter sUCCoTH.
