Special to the Jersey city Ne,u,.

NEWARK, Sept. 2S. 1s92.-The feature Of
the German Catholic Congress In this city
yesterday was the address of Archbishop
Corrigan. of New York, on Cahenslyism
before the meeting of the young mems
societies, In ST. Peters Hall.
II have to express my hearty sym pathy
with the objects of your Congress" said
the Archbishop. "and mE qualification at
your programme, as well as the princi-
pies whose adoption it fe~reshadows. The
subjects before you are loyalty to your
Church and loyalty to your country.n
Then the reverend gentleman spoke of
CahenslyiSm and said:-
w hen the measure that has created so
much excitement was first broached,
those even of German birth were fore
most III declaring openly that it could not
be carried into practice. The St. Raphael's
German Society of New York, of which
the honored Bishop of the diocese is Pres
ident, and all of whose officers are Ger
mans, wrote a stroug letter to the St.
Raphael's Society of Europe. which had
endorsed The scheme, arguing that it
could never be brought into use. The
President of that society said from The
start that it vas impractica BILE.
From letters which / have recei we'd
from the other side I can say positively
there was no political end in view in the
measure. 1t was intended solely to benefit
the spiritual welfare of the Immigrant by
keeping him for Il time among those who
knew his language.
N sooner vas the Cahensly memorial
brought to Rome than the Holy See said
That it must be set aside. Cardinal
Simeon1 wrote me this himself. The Holy
Father considered the plan Impossible of
realization. What the Holy See says Is
the crowning point. st. Augustine said,
Rome has spoken; The cause is ended
"The secretary of the st. RaDbael's
Society. Herr Peter Paul CahenslY, at
once accepted that decision, and he &C.
cepted1 IL Loyalty. | received Il letter from
him yesterday declaring that he submits
himself In all things TO the Judgment of
the Holy See.
If we will reflect a moment we will
see That there Eever was any serious
reason for alarm. We were all boru
mere. Do we not love our country as the
dearest spot on earth, and daily ask God
to bless it and thank Him thar We had
the good fortune TO first see the day under
the Stars and Stripes?
There is no necessity for us to trumpet
abroad, in season and out of season. that
we are Americans. We who were born
here do not see the necessity of going
aboutproclaiming our love for the United
States. OF curse we love our country.
Those OF Us who were not born here
share the national characteristics. The
German loves domesticiiy, and as the
father of a family fluids his joys in the
'companionship OF his wife ana little ones.
Where there is love of home there must
patriotism be found"
ln he evening a public meeting was

A bbett welcomed the delegates and

strong plea for the restitution OF the tenn.
power OF the Pope.
