Molly Maguireism, Terry Altism, Whitefeetism, Whiteboyism, Ribbanisin, and so forth—  members o  one gre  conspiracy agai  . that they who occupy- the land of others shall henceforth hold it for themselves." 'This excellent letter next points to the sympathy shown for criminals, whila it is denied to  their victims, by whole masses of the Irish population, and to the absence of clerical exhortations against the spirit which is abroad. It proceeds to speak with honest  indignation of those denouncers of what have been called  " the oppressors of the poor," and " exterminating landlords," as men who have stimulated turbulence, and invented apologies for the perpetration of cold-blooded, hireling murders; and deplores the reproach which such proceedings have brought upon the whole Catholic. community.

My lord, it is not only incumbent on you to satisfy the inquiries of all per d the preestruction  le social  system against t  that I shall have the•help and comfort of your prayers in my behalf. For these, especially, I would most earnestly desire ever to live in your affectionate remembrance.— May, then, the gracious Lord, of his infinite mercy, bring to perfection the good- seed sown in your hearts by his Spirit, and so effectually keep us all in his faith and love,  that we may meet hereafter in his more immediate presence, never more to be separated, as one flock in the told of one great Shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord."  &Huai 111011'11mm.
