THE AMERICAN COLLEGE AT ROME.

hi'knwfi CHuldmi ill < hri^t:
You are aware that, some years ago,
the cluster of National Colleges in Koine
was increased by one, and that one was
the College representing . trown Xattoyp.
Almost every i Nation had pieviotiHly j
been represented there* the Irish, the i
Kngli.sU, the Scotch, the French, the .
Germans, tlic S»)iitli American, &e. At!
last, the deficiency was supplied through I
the munificence of our beloved Pontiff, j
Pius IX.j who generously bestowed a spa- j
clous and centrally located Rite for the |
purpose. Our College was opened, and •
it lies already trained a number of Priests
for the American mission ; while it lias,
also, been n pkco to which Americans m
Home, no mutterWhfktheir faith, might 1
tebiriVand feel that they were at lidnie.
PnfortunateU, however 1 , sufficient menus
wme not prmM*Vd *t the commetoeemcnt
to establish tin* Polfego on a solid lmsis,
and, alter struggling on for some years,
it is now in imminent danger of
dosed, ft would bo one thing Yiovfr
to have had the College, but if is another
altogether to # have had uifid to lone it.
This latter contingency, besides being a
great tKsgntco to us, wOuM be also an ii
repamblc loss to the country*’
The late Plenary Council ordetad a
General Collection for the relief of ftie
immediate wants of the College; nor is
it our intention to supercede this CblleO* i
tion, but ratbor to aid it towards effectual
ly Hceomplinhing tlie object iu view. This
Collection w'ill still be necessary to pay
ddjte alrcedv incurred, and to provide for
pressing needs. f f
But, m addition to the o<‘nerai 4Ooncc
tfon, which, #p hope, will soori be taken
np, it h*» been suggested to propoKc to
out* wealthi**- Catfrdics, for their Imita
tion in this matter, the noble example of
their forefatlmrs, who did gfcat things
for Religion and for God. Instance of

tliose Catholics in this country whom Hod
has blessed with abundant unions, to com©
in tho rose no, and not only to save the
Coflego, but to put. it at once on n Sound
and substantial basis, would not be made
in vain, but would be generously re

it is with this view, that we our
earnest appeal to yon at this time, aud
propose a plan, which we think, with
Von* co-op«ration, wilt be successful in
*peedily founding and endowing the
American College at Rome, YYo urge
the matter upon you the more str«>ngly,
as next year the great Ceporal Council
is to bo convened in Koine, and we aro to
meet the Bishops of flic whole world in
i ono of those grand assemblies which
! !na rk an era iu the history of the-Univer
sal Church; To the Councils of Nioe,
Ephesus, (’halcodon, Lateran, Lyons,
Florence and Trent, is to be addf*d that
of the \at lean l<et us, before we go t»i
the Holy City, have the eenMolation of
, knowing, that, through your
\se have a College there th which we can
proudly point as Bishops of a greatCatli.
olic let us be spared tjie disgrace
ot going thither to find its d-xtrs closed,
' «nd its name blotted oht from the list of
the National Colleges existing in tbo
, jvtcrnal City. YYo confidently appeal to
I you as Catholics, and as Americans, k>v
tug your religion and your country, that
j . ,na )" hot be .wo, finely, the • means
j "dh v.difdi (iod has blessed you can be
applied to no higher (<r flonef t purpose
i tiian this; nor can there bo one whksli
j will draw down upon you uud your fami
lies a more afiuiidaut blessing of Heaven.
The prayers anti Holy Sacrifice which will
t*e ebfHnfully offered iri ynur beltnlf i by
those whb, through yotir bounty, will be
trained up for the holy ministry, (aurnt
fail to draw upon you Heaven’s choicest
benedictions. Out Finn is briefly this: We
wish to raise from $2.Y0,000 to s:>oo,-
000. We have appointed, as our Agent
in the matter, the Rev. 0, IL Oonne,
Chancellor of the Diocese of N< wark, to
visit all the principal Diocesea o l 'the
X nited States, ;uid call upon these who
are most able, to contribute their *ub
s< rptious. We propo-c, that oi’ these
generous contributors to a noble work
t'uue should be tlu ;o classos :
1. For.Nnr.Rs or Br rses, who will con -
tribute, once for all, five THoUiAjin doi.-
».aus in curr4’ney, yielding something
over two hundred-'dollars, in of
yearly interest; and who will .have the
right of selecting, from those who will bo
recommended and approvod of bv their
respective Bishops for this purpose, one
student of the College forever |
*2. Patrovs, who will contribute oan
TnorsAN’D rKM.i.Aits, once for all, and Avill
be entitled to send a student approved of
by the Bishop, for three years;
ff. L’Fe Members, who, by oontribu
tiup; rivn m-xnRET) dom ahs, will -hare in
the Holy Sacrifices and prayers of tlio
f*Dllege, and 6f t ic .dudeats.
The names of all these three
will !*• enrolled and placed in .a hand

the American College, and Solemn High
Mas*t will be celebrated for theni in Rome
twice a year, for the living and
once for the deceased henefactors; be
side., the ph’vate Masses which each
Priest educated at the College will feel

mined Home months since, as von all
know, to throw roysedf, bran and soul,
into the effort now being made bv the
Catholic party in the Church of England
to unite that Church with the Church of
Rome; but, unwilling to do anything
l preached and wrote tco bold
ly for my Brethren, and declared on {he
house-top what others admitted in pri
vate. The Bishop sent his “interdiction, ’
but was unable, consistently, to try me;
nieunwhile, my studies and effort's con
vinced me, nmreand moiv, that, oven if
our Clergy were u*4fto#*iieU n union as
that proposed, the People would, for th •

should grow restive under the aifd,
after mature deliberation, led, t hum
