the main charge against them that the editor Of

an Irishman, and the last mentioned Canadian! It
seemed more strange when it came from the pen Of

that Catholicity recognized natonalities only to
unite them. This week the Right Rev. Bishop Of
Alton has issued pamphlet with the caption Of
appendix retracting what he said Sncnt Mr..
McMaster, of the Feemdn's Journal and asserts that
his only motive for introducing the question Of
tionalities into religious issues was to show the
