THE AMERICAN COLLEGE AT ROME. AVV E A L Tv> Tin; wTu/nm n aMovu thk < athoi.ics IS TANARUS»: LNiTKI* HTATiy. 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.

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.
