Morning Star and Cathotic Messenger, 1raW OflLUi SIDAVr, APIJIL 13. J,i. L ,Krrg FROM ItO MLg ADDRS~ Or THE UNiTET) DEI'VTATIONS. orM, March 8.-It was long after post line when I got the copy of the address of the united deputations, and the Pope's re ply. The number of itle-sStbera is as flows :-from Austria thirty, from France twenty-seven, from Belgium eighteen, rom Prussia fourteen, from Esgland sov esteet , from various parrs of Italy thirty jlght, from Spain five, from the United States of America five, from Switzerland three. Eleven distinguished members of the Roman Society for Catholic Interests accompanied the deputation. The Pope entered the hall of the consistory where the members were assembled, shortly af ter 12 o'clock. His Holiness was accom panied by ardinals Barnabo, De Luca, Monaco La Valletta, Pitra and Sacconi, tie Bishops of Southwark, Salford, Greno ble, Poitiers and Ratisbon, by the Prelates of the court in waiting, and several other prelates and gentlemen of distinction.I His Holiness a~anded the steps of the throne amidst great demonstrations of af fectionate respect, and, taking his seat, paid marked attention to the following ad dress which was read by Prince Alfred of Liobtqpstein : " " Most Holy Father, when, by a most unjust violation of the rights of nations the capital of your States was invaded, the authors of that execrable deed loudly aflirmed that they only warred against your temporal power; they protested that they held themselves bound to respect the spiritutal power and also bound to protect the Church and the free exercise of your authority over all the Cathollo fluck. These hypocritical assurances only deceived those who were willing to be deceived. It was soon seen that the guards were gnalers, and the protectors oppressors. Since that period we hate not ceased to say to our governments, that the unity of Italy served asa umere pretext to reducee the Clhu clh to servitude, that the injury inflicted on ycolr throne affected also all who were invested with legitimate authority, and that by the assault made with diabolical cunning anid forcO on your independence, the indecpeulnncu of all was placed in peril. And since that tame, how often lnr,- (an persecutors justified our fears, nid ,el.nclirsed our previsions with their iniquitous plroceed ings! They now mediate a new and more sanda cious deed: they prepare to extend their sac rilegious hands to the very heart of the Church; for, indeed, to that noble seat of life which we call the heart the Religious Or ders may be well compared, those inexhaustii ble seminaries of saints, apostles, and doctors; sacred hearths where the flames of charity, of seal, and learnoing were fed; sacred founts through which with renewed purity and in creased strength the blood of Christ flowed through the veins of the universal Church, of which your Holiness is the august Head. These Orders form around your throne a co hort of intrepid defenders, they are as the in vincible bulwark and as the firm pillars that defend and support the temple of the Lord. And thia is the secret and true reason o" the inextinguishable hate that Satan excites throughout the world against the Religious Orders; for these reasons and for these virtues they have become, in these ourr days, the ob jects of implacable persecution,. But with the enemies that rage around you Holy Father, no conciliation is possible; and war with such enlemies is not to lie feared. It T -on~ y tpae that- is dangerous. No doubt they would be glad to conceade with you a perfidious compromise. They ardently desire that there should be re-established a tacit ac nerd or somne system of reciprocal toleration. They even hope that through very weariness you may ho reduced to accept their modus ri vaedi. But this agreement between the despoiler and the despoiled, between the executionier and the victim, is not and canlnot he more than a dream. Good sense lshows it and your voice teabhes i'-y-ur v,)ice that is never weary, and as h in al olroaautances is raisned with et er increasing energy ogaiinst each new attempt of your oppressors; ror has it permitted for (nu single instant that the world should believe that the Supremo .Pastor could descend to terms with the cruel wolf that devastates his flook. No: Peter living in your person will be always heroically tirm against Heirod. Your sons applaud your courage and pr .y that God may abundantly bestow snccors aidequate to the dangers on all sides, anll to the growing violence of the struggle. If the algns of the times deceive us liot, that struggle is verging towards its end. The per secutors will uoob fill up the measure, and God whose justice is slow because so certain, reserves in a perhaps not distant future, that chastisement of traitors, the treachery of as *omplices. As far as human foresight can penetrate the future, we certainly look forward to terrible trials. But we look forwardl without fear. Comforted by the grace of God, and encour aged by your example, we shall pass through these trials without yieldjng and we shall fin lab, Holy Father, by conquering with you. Be assured that if the governments of Eu rope have abadoned you, the people feel them selves the more obliged to attach themselves to you. The defection of their political heads only makes them the more powerfully feel the duty of taking in their place the post of hon or near your prison. Love will keep the Ca tholle people at its post, and it will be more Arm than ever it has been hitherto. Light is being diffused in all minds, and the faithful understand better every day that spirit of di vine wisdom which inspired you whenyou pro nounced the anathema against those perverse doectrines that were the poisonous germs from whence have sprung the woes of Europe and the world. The Syllabhus and the Encyclical that accompanied it will ever be, to the eyes of all true believes, the Pharoe that shines in the darkness of the tempest, and the standard o( salvation that must be defended if we would not perish. But it is precisely these hopes and these fears animating the hearGt tho children of the Churoh that have determined nus, Holy Pathr, to come and prostrate ourselves at your feet, and to declare solemnly our ).orror sad detestation of the new crime now in prep avation against the Holy See, the destrnation of the Religious Orders that are its beat de feaders. The eomfort of our voices wil not fail them, they are already sure of yours, and when the whole Christian family, father and children, raise to heaven the err of protest and of prayer, God will Iesten; lie will strike the glty, and will avenge alike the Spouse of Christ and Hia Vicar upon earth." txrPLT OHs s IIOt.tIMas. 'bhe Holy Father then rose and replied as follows: Uhe sentiments you have nmani fested towards me, command my gratituae. There are truths expresed in your address, habsh truths, but atil truthls. In reply, I will tike the words of the irat Vicar of Jesus Christ. 1 will take the wesl of St. Peter. The Prinoe of the Apostles addressed him self to various cities and various nations. iHe waste to those of Poatna, of Galatia, of Bithy. ala aedof Asia, and to them all be addressed e jetter. YTe i one repeet represent the i jjeeisj mgdi I[ i d Apostle Gratis robis st paz multtplicehrr, May the grace of God always dwell In your souls, and the peace of Christ be multiplied in your hearts. I know well, even I, proosed the Apostle, that this peacecannot be lasting, that peace will always be accompanied by oonfliots and wars as it was in the case of the Divine Masters of whom it is written, Prophetarerust IProphelt pessos Chritti et glories postcriores. So that we must hope that after we have par ticipated in troubles and sorrows, you with me, and I with you, and those whom you rep resent, we may sing of the mercies of God anti the ihosanas and glories of the Church of Christ. This was the faith of St. Peter and ought to he ours. Faith was the grand charaoteristic of the Prince of the Apostles. It-was faith which taught him to say when Jesus asked, " Whom do men say that I am ? Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God." This it was that mer ited the reply w hich hailed him Blessed: I'ca tus tu Simon )Barjona, guia care et sanguis non re relarit tibi-Blessed art thou, not because tiesh and blood has revealed to thee the Doctrine of my Divinity, but because thus the Eternal Father has inspired thee.-Nonquia care ct san guis rerclavit tibi, sed Pater mes que in calis cat. From this arises that Peter is the foundation of The Churcb. It is true that the foundation thereof is Jesus Christ, the chief corner.stone on which He raised this majestic tenmple, but Jesus Christ was pleased to associate with Himself Hlis Vicar, and in the contact of these two stones St. Peter has followed in part the greatness of Christ, and has himself became greater by virtue of Jesns Christ-Qua mini sunt potrstate propria, ha tibi participatione corn munra. Thus says the holy I'untiff St. Leo. On this stone then the Church is founded. This Church rises majestically, and piercing the clouds hears that voice that is still repeat ed: " Whatever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever thon loon eot on earth shall. he be loosed in heaven." These are the words that augment the furies of hell, these are the words that have put in action the perfidious sous of satan, who runt up and down upont the earth, and cannot hoear without rage this supreme power given by God to His Vicar even spoken of. And what happeus I That they assail the very founda tions of the Churc. T'yrants efold assailed it with torments and with chains, heretics have assailed it with lies and false dc trines; unbelievcrs ili it with iotpi ety; certain Govern assail it with spoliation of propcrty,l osulting its muin isters, bauishhing religious mnlen and women from their retreats, and causing many tears to the spouses of Christ by lurniing them out of their choisters. T'e sects assail it in every posiLUAo manner; antd even sometimes certain Catholics assail it. who try to combine with both sides, who think that by concession those who are miisled will bhe brought to us. They surely forget those words of Christ ; "no man can servo two masters." In fact, some of the directors of human affairs wish the clergy to be educated only in their manner ; they wish the clergy to be divided from the Bishops and the Bishops divided front the Pope. They wish in fact to revive a kind Byzantine Cie sarism. This wish, however will never be ful filled, for Blyzatine Caesarism became first ridiculous. and then God willed its destruction by an infidel power. However, whatever may be in the counsels of God I know not, but the experience of the past gives-me comfort and encourages me to be full of hope for the fu ture. What then shall we do t Let us all do as you are doing. I am edified at your conduct and cheered by your courage. You take calrage from me, and I-I candidly confess it-am greatly encouraged by you. Let us then go on int the combat. May it never be said of any of the directors and shepherds of souls, that while Judas labors, Judas runs everywhere to combat and betray the Church, that they de ser'e the reproof of Christ: "Could ye not even watch with Me one hour ?" Oh, then let all be vigilant us, indeed, by far the greater part are; let themn be vigilant as sentinels sn the watch-tower to know the move tuents of the oueity, to combat him cour ageously, so that the victory may be cosm plete. Andti this is the desire I have, this I ask of God. Oh Pastor, oh ete' nal Pastor of our souls, let those who relre sent you on earth be always antimated by yosr divine grace and by the breath of yaur inspi ration. All united together let us do battle against our common enemy. Our nutty will overcome all obstacles, all opposition. Gre gent tuam Pastor cterne aon dtseras, sed ,per bonitos .5iestotos oes continua protectione custodias. Keep, oh mny God, by means of the successors of the Apostles, by means of the clergy, keep this flock which Thou hast given me, that with constant watchfulnesos we may overcome our unemies and reap the victory over those who daily assail us. Let us hope then this union between Christ ians and their clergy, between the cTergy ai the Bishops, between the Bishops sad the Chief Priest, may form a compact phalanx that neecd never fear the fury of the adversary. Mly.God ! bless your intentions, Bless these my suosa, who are to me a crown of splendor ; bless their families; and returning to their re spective countries may they take with them copions besnedictions that may strengthen them againet all assaults of evil, and the attempts of hell. Bless them in the short course of this human life, that they may always remeom hber this day, this hour, this benedictiou. Bless them in the moment of death, so that resigning their souls into Thy hands they may bless Thee for all eternity.-Bendictio, etc. UNION AM3ONG CATHlOLICS. I may here mention par parcnthese, that at Einsiedeln, and again ft Geneva, mem bers of the French and of the German dep utation who ha4 fought against one anotih er at the call of duty in the Franco-Ger man war met, and only recollected they wero Christians and Catholics; united in that one and only bond of peace, all sense of animosity was lost. They were united in one faith, one hope, one baptism, in the one fold of the One Shepherd, animated by one only feeling, tltat of offering the hom age of their atfTectionatesympathy and pro found respect to the Vicar of Christ, the Visible Ioad of the one Moly Universal Church. TRIDUO AT S. P'ETERst8. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, thlere was a solemn Triduo celebrated at St-L'e ter's, to imnplore the mercy of God fdthe threatened Religious Orders. The church was well tilled every day, but especially on Sunday, when probably not less than 30, 630 persons were present. Benediction was given by Archbishop Howard, His HIo liness assisted at the sacred functions on Sunday from the window looking into the church from over the atrium. TRIDUO AT ST. IGNATIUS's. There is also a 'Tridmo going on at St. Ignatins's, initiated by the proprietors of the Catholio journal, La Frstrta as a cons ter-demonstration against, and reparation for, the blasphemies of tine Capitale. The subscriptions have been most liberal, and the functions yesterday and to-day densely attended. The church so far has been crowded to the doors. The kloly Father despatchetd one of the gentlemen of the Noble Guard one day last week, with a gold pectoral cross and an aetograph let ter to Mgr. Eogene Lachat, Bishlop sf Bale as a token of his enconuragement and sym patly. His Holinelss, oa Meoday, received at the Vatioas, sixty poor orphan boys of the night schools supported by him, who had issatl made shk L ALnt emasaIa. The boys were received in the Tapestry Gallery, and -the Holy Father conversed familiarly with them for some time, en couraging them to persevere in all good, and finishing his address with the Apostol ic Benediction. He also bhas received the mistresses of the Catholic schools, to whom he imparted sound advice and his Auostolie Benediction. OFFERINGS. I am rather late in saying that the Bishop of Poitiers brought 55,000 francs with him, the Peter's Pence of hiadiocese; and that the editors of the Unita Cattolica have sent in their second offering for this yeti-smount ing to 12,000 lire. The Count de Chaim bord has sent an offering of 10,000 francs to the Holy Father with these words: " The Exile of the House of France to the August Prisoner of the Vatican." It hav ing been reported that His Holiness had blamed the recent letter of the Count de Chambord to Mar. Dupanloup, Bishop of Orleans, a French prelate took an opportn nity of speaking on the subject. The Pope's reply was; " I have never blamed anything in the manifestoes of the Count de Chambord." New Ireland and New England. Richard McCloud, Esq., of Hartford, in his lecture at Breed Hall, in Norwich, Con., on Monday evening, March 17th, gave some interesting facts regarding the increase in population and strength of the Irish race and blood in New England, and argued that the six States now called New Eng land should be called New Ireland. He said :-Captain John Smith, in 1614, upon visiting what is now called Massachusetts, named this section of the American conti nent New England, in compliment to Old England ; but long before Captain John Smith was born, or Columbus, either, an Irishman from the county of Kerry, St. Brendan, discovered it, .with the rest of the Continent, and named it Ireland-et Mikla, or Great Ireland. This, according to Irish annals, coroborated by Scandana vian history, took place about the y.anr A.D. 550. llut as the Irish at the time were busy at home, and were governed by their own kings, they had no desire to populate a foreign country, and neglected their possessions. But after the lapse of thir teen hundred years the descendants of St. Brendan have returned. They have been coming over for some years at a rapid rate, and have now so much increased in num bers that we call upon the nlap makers and compilers of geography to call this part of the United States New Ireland. The census of 1870, just come to hand, in forms us that there are but 33.627 persons born in England residing in the six States known as New England, and in these six States there are 360,299 persons who were born in Ireland, while of Irish parentage there are 600,000 more, making in round numbers say one million people in New England born in Ireland and of Irish par entage. Of descendants of Irishmen there must be at least 500,000. The total popu lation of these States is 3,487,924, so that about half of the population of New Eng land in 1870 was of Irish blood, and in 1873 the ratio must be still greater. The re mainder of the population is by no means of English blood, for the Germans and Canadians now form a great proportion of the people. As Ireland by historical proofs first discovered the country, as her chil dren have returned to its shores, and Eng lish blood is but a speck on the sea of hn manity, why call it any longer New Eng land. Look at Connecticut, our own State. I cannot tell you the number of Irishmen in the State thirty years ago, but the num ber of Catholics was 4,817; and as some other natonalities were Catholic, and some Irish were Protestant, we can safely put the number of Irish at that figure. The census of 1870 reports that there are 70,630 persons in Connecticut born in Ireland, and born of Irish parents there must be over 100,000 more, as there were 203.650 persons in the Stateborn of foreign parents. The Irish in general keep ep in the growth of their families with others of foreign na tivity. So to-day, taking into accout the increase from 1870, there must be almost in Ireland or of Irish parentage. It is computed by reliable authority there are about that number of Catholics in the State. What a change in a quarter of a century. In Rhode Island and Connecticut in 1844 there were but six priests, eight churches, and 9,997 Catholic souls. There are now over 100 churches besides 64 chapels and stations, 95 priests, seventy clerical stu dents, ten male and female ceademies, forty-four parochial free schools, orphan asylums, and over 250,000 Catholic popu lation. The first Massoffered in Connecti cut was by a priest who name with the French troops to aid America in her strug gle with England for independence, and was said in the town of Hartford. The first Catholic sermon preached in English in this State was at Hartford, in the year 1813, at a Congregational meeting-house, by the Rev. Dr. Matignon, of Boston while on his way to New York by stage coaches. lie was invited by the minister, it is said, to please the ladies who wanted to see a real live "Popish priest." Thirty years ago, Norwich had but 250 Cathblics ; to-day she has about 5,000. Massachasetts also is rapidly changing its population, and the Irish and Catholic elementlargely preponderates. ACatholio Church now overlooks Plymouth rock. The state librarian, or the official that gat here statistics in that state, saysa in a recent report, that Massachusetta has gained more than fifteen per cent in five years, and at this rate in the year 1900, there will be more than three million people in the state, making a country more densely populated than England now is. But he says this is due to the immigration of the foreign born whale the natives go to other states. The births are *greatly in favor of the Irish hairn. In that state in 1870 there were 38, .59 births, .of which only 15,563 were of American parents, the balance of foreign parents, the greater part Irish, and the official gets so convinced by the fgures of births and immigration that he concludes by saying: That the character of our popa lation is undergoing a great change, surely and not very slowly, a mixedstock of Irish, Germans, and Canadians are taking the place of the parely English stock which has possessed Massachussette for more than two centuries." In Connectict we get no Informatmon as to thie nativity of the parents In regard to births each year, as in Massachusetts. Just look around and see if what is true in regardto Mas sachusette does not prodeuce the same result in Consecticat. Is Maine the Irish were early settler Faseh Catholies shau d themf as e ta _In mNew ramm V shire Irishmen were among theSrstsettlers, d but were not Catholics. Horase. Greeley - was a descendant of the Sootab Irish who I, settled in New Hampshire. New Hamp shire contains 12,190 natives 'of Ireland, e and 44,502 persons born there of fo'reign o parentage, out of a total population of a 318,300, Rhode Island contains but 217, 353 inhabitants in all : 21,534 were born in Ireland, and 05,090 persons born of for eign parentage. Yet a property qualifica e tion is permitted to rest upon the statute ' book of that state in regard to suffrage; and in New Hampshire the laws proclaim no Catholic shall hold office. Even here in Connecticut, some Irishmen are dis franchised because of the reading qualifica a tion. And these Irishmen are those who have been longest id'the country. e England's laws made it a crime to edn cate Irishmen, and threw them upon these shores unlettered and unlearned. All of these disqualifications were put into the statute books by the same spirit that fired the Charlestown convent, and committed other acts that their authors are to-day ashamed of. These disqualifications are opposed, as I understand it, to the 15th amendnpent to the constitution, and should be wiped out. Now, my countrymen and and friends, I have shown you that a New Ireland is growing up side by side with ° New England, and is gradually in point of numbers taking its place. But may both flourish in peace. Though distinct in ori n gin, they are elements of one common coun 0 try. Let New England forget the past. Let New Ireland forgive the past and work for the future. Let New England e forget her anti-Irish and anti-Catholic pre judices, let her also forget her English pro ' clivities. Men of Irelatfd, cultivate a d friendly spirit with your American neigh bors, while at the same time stand upon n your rights as American citizens. In the ° words of Father Tom Burke, "in sobriety, * in industry, in manly self-respect, in hon est pride of evesy thing that an honest man ought to be proud of in all these, and g in respect for the laws of this mighty country, lies the secret of your honor and r of your national power and purity. Mark e my words ! Let Ireland in America be r faithful, be Catholic, be practical, be tem perate, be industrious, be obedient to the r laws, and the.day will dawn with the blest ings of God, yet upon you and me, so that t. when returning to visit for a time the 0 shores from whence we came, we shall land upon the shores of a free and glorious and unlettered nation."-Hartford Corr ant. You seek for perfection ? It lies around you, not in the past or the future. All the a work of your perfection consists in receiv ing the trials and the duties of your state z like veils which hide from you and yet give e to you God. INSURANCE COMPANIES.
