How to Secure Peace and Liberty to
France and spain.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The eyes OF the civilized world, OF the Catholic
world especially, are fixed on France and Spain.
We still ask ourselves when will the blessings OF
liberty and peace be vouchsafed to their long
troubled populations2r One portion Of your
readers will say that peace will only come for
them with the secure establishment OF freedom;
but that freedom In these lands can only suDsist
wnen Catholicism Is blotted out forever.
For those who have read the history Of the past

offcial or private morality during her long reign
Of nearly Iorty years than republican President
can WELD during as many months. Nor can you
point out within the wide extent Of the Briilsn
Empire an instance Of such atrocious and nOpe.ess
municipal misrule as our own good city o. View
York offers at this moment aud l. ukely ~ C1er .
for many dark years to come.
Whether we consider ourselves as citizsns OF
New York or members OF the Great Republic we
may boast OF our possessing self-governuent, but !
