MOVEMENT pecereeyennleneces Meeting of the Roman Catholic Clergy and Laity of New York, in Relation to the extled Archbishop of Santa Fe de sfogota and Dr. Bowman. ‘A meoting of the clergy and laity of New York, conven- ed for the purpose of expressing their admirstion and sympathy toward the Archbishop of Santa Fé de Bogota, lately banished from Mexico, and now a resident of this city, end also towards Dr. Newman, recently convicted of ‘Whel in the Court ef Queen’s Bench, London, was held ‘Yesterday morning, st tho Chuaeh of the Transfiguration, Dhambers street. Archbishop Hughes presided, anda large number of the Roman Catholic clergy, and a few of the laity, were present. THE CASE OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF SANTA FE. ‘The Ancunmunor said—The object for which we have ‘met to-day is one which is easily explained. It is on our ‘own part as clergymen, and on the part of the faithful laity, to give utterance to our sympathy and to our re- spect for the illustrious stranger who is now an exile and residing for the moment in this city. I refer to the Archbishop of Santa Fé de Bogota, against whom there thas been no reproach, even by his most determined 24- wersaries; and no charge bas been made against him’ of employing his official authority for any ‘purpose inconsistent with the laws of his country, as he found them, but in regsrd to whom special laws have ‘Deen enacted, by which the civil authority of his State has usurped and undertaken to discharge the duties of hhis ecolesiastical functions. For this he was ordered to Jeave his country, and he obeyed the order; and in an age whea self-interest is x0 predominant—in an age when principle is co habitually made subservieat to advantages of another kind—it is proper that we should express for this man of principle—this Confessor of the Faith—the re- spect and admiration with which his example and con- duct have inspired us. As our time of meeting is but Bhort, and as where there are so many, it might be too ‘tedious to arrange the mode of our expression, it has been ‘thought well to prepare an address and submit it, to as- ertain whether or not it mects with the approbation of ‘the clergy and laity here assembled, and for that purpose ‘I wou’d request Mr. O'Donnell to read something which ix submitted merely for approval or for correction, Mr. O'Donnell, the Secretary of the Archbishop, then proceeded to read the following address, to be presented to the Archbishop of Sante Fé:— It can only be regretted that the time and place and circumstance of our meeting de not permit the presence of #0 many of our faithful brethren and children as would be reedy with « fixed and profound faith to unite with usin the object for which you have been called together. Itis seldom, indeed, that circumstances have xendered it either necessary or expedient for us to assem. ble to give our living attestation to the truth of those principles with which the world has been made ac q |, a8 goverving the Catholic Church, since the of Christianity ‘The object of our meeting to-day is not to make an impression on public opinion, but to reasgert, as become: the clergy and laity of the Church and. principles on which she ed her divine functions, and in absence of which she ceasea to exist. It hardly be suid to you that there is now in the city of New York a distinguished prelate, whose name will hereafter find a place in the same catalogue with the great Atbarasiu- of Alexundria; with (he cloqueat Chrysostom of Constantinople; with the illustrious Popes who at various periods iiave been persecuted and exiled for the faith; with the noble martyr of Canterbury, ‘Thomas a Becket, with the grea: Von Vischoring, late Archbishop of Colonge, with the living Archbishops of Turm and Cagliari; why have ull suffered exile or martyr- Gom for the same cause which compelled the Apostles. in Aheir appeal {row the decisions of a human tribunal, to auk whether it was right that they should obey men ratbe: -wan God. It is to us » glorious reflection that the whole spirit of the primitive apestleship is thus ex hibited, from time to t me in the fidelity of their succes pors. What would become of the Holy Catholic Church if her eu pontilis and hich ecclesiastical dignitaries should rate into men of the world, liable to be frightened or bribed into treachery towards the divine trust which God bad committed io their charge? Of this bth adr Pied aay er a aerooneed of the ¥ again t it, an ighty arm is power- ful enough to su-tuin tho-e whom He has sent, f they ‘will rely upon Him for strength, from the highest to the lowest. was evidently the mean ng of His all effi- cient prayer to Hi Father, when he distinguished Peter as eee Aportle-, saying that He bad prayed for him that faith might not fail. and that he, being once converted, ehouki confirm his brethren. For eigh- teen hundred years thix promise has been fulfilled, as it will continue to be fulfilled, until the consumma. tion of ages. Kel. with unbounded faith on the promises of ine Founder of the Church, we Feoognive, ! ‘ @uccessers, the manner in which that divine promise has ever been fulfilled. Hence, on an occasion of this kind, Our first duty is to bow with profound reverence in the recognition of, and obedience to the supreme head of the Catholic Church on earth, at present the glorious Pius 1X.—just as our faithful ancestors revered and obeyed his predecessors from the days of St. Peter—and as our suc. ce sorsin the faith will reverence aad obey those who are to succeed him in the suprem the end of the world But the occasion has presented it- self imwhich it is becoming for us to express our pro- found admiration cf one of his subordinate but illustrious colleagues in the indestructible apostle-hip—we mean the ‘venerable confexsor of the faith, the now exiled Archbish- oe Santa Fé de Bogo'n. And why is he exiled—a vative the country from which he has been banished—be ing to one of the most distinguixhed and patriotic fami oft his native land? Has he inaugurated a rebellion against the civil authoritiest Has he organized an in- surrection or a icvolt against the laws of his country + No such charge has beeu preferred against him Wliat his enemies call his crime, but what #¢, and all Catholics throughout the world. regard a+ his glory, is that he re fused to transfer io -ecular hands the divine authority with which he had been invested for the purpose of gov- ercing, in their spiritual relations, the Church and people of God. We feel a srecies of holy pride at be gin the ranks of the epi-copucy men like Archbishop Mos- quera, who value honors, aud property, and life, infinite- ly Jess than they do the consciousness of fuldlling simpl: their duty to Got, and their duty to the flock over wh God had them. Such men cannot be found out side the Catholic Church And that sucl confe=sors, and even martyrs, are still ready, in that Church, to sacrifice their lives, w! 8 eteraally and iste be te the end. country like Mowing each to the one did not © prerogatives of the other, All constitution and laws of New move freely in its own sphere iutrench om the legitim this was secured by t Granada when Archbishop Mosquera was Metropolitan of Sunta Fe de Bogota. He broached no in- novations on the constitutional civil or legal element of the country ; but th ture of that country invaded his ecoleriastical, herto, recognised rigiits. One of their first invasions was a law, passed ia April, 1845, that when any civil tribunal should admit an accusation against any ecclesiastic, whether priest or bishop, the simply because he was accused, should resign his offiee into other hanes, and, if he refused to do sv, should be expored to imprisonment, banishment and other penalties. Another ¢neroachment on the rights of con-cience and the liberty of the Church was enacted on the 2ith of May, 1851, By this the right of appointing pastors was taken from the bish ops of the country and yested in a parechial club, composed of the fieads of families in each pari-h— thus taking from the bishops, whose fucction by divine appointment it is the power to govern the Churel of God.

The separation which they have forced upon him from the beloved and devoted flock over which Ged has appointed him aa | pastor, is, and mest be, to his paternal heart, the bitter- est affitetion which human power could impose upon | him. Nothing, probab in this life can altogether re. move the pang of thet fo ed separation. Bat this is not arearon why his Catholic brethern throughout the world she withhold from him the expression of their respect and fympathy. In our own country, in which the theory and practice of government allows entire liberty in matters of religion, the attempt on the of the federul government, or of the State ala fo assume the aduinixtration of ecclesiasti ly or ineirectly, would produce a shec of horror and tenigoetion ik ie true thet bartly any just comperison cau be instituted between the social Aifica of the United States and that of New Granada at the of forming their respectis tution The pce would be if amy, that the government of Rew Granada shou'd be favorable to the freedom of the reli Of the entire yeople of that country at the pe ‘of itaindependence.

Nay, for there very reasons, it is becoming that *o should give utterance to, not our own private reniinents or opinions, but those universal Principles which are recoenired throughout the length id breadth of Catholic Christendom, as exsonttal t» the just exerdlee of ecclesiastical authority. We, therefore, : clergy of the Arol-diocess of New York, beg Teave, tn our own ame, to prevent to His Graee the Arehbishop Manuel José Mosquera, Metropoli ‘tan of Santa Fi de Bogota, the unanimous expression of our admiration for the fortitude, prudense, aod patience Pith which be has resisted and berne the iniquitous Of hia epixcopal rights arn bishop of the Church of God, end of the deepest avmpathy for the auferings, of mind and body, to which he has been exposed in equence of his reparatin from his tlook, or rather in eonxequence of his fids lity to his duty.

Archbishop Hvcurs—What you bave just heard read | is not anything which this meeting should necessarily agree to, but ag something to arre-t attention, aad now it will be in order for you to express your opinions in regard to the resolutions. As respects the address, perhaps the question might be put in general terms, whether or not you approve and adopt it. It was then moved, seconded, and carried unanimously, that the address, as read, be approved. Archbishop HvoHes—I would observe here that the Archbishop of Santa Fe, since his arrival in New York, has been in delicate health, sufferirg nearly all the time; but Ihave little doubt that if the clorgy can make it convenient to wait upon him he will be happy to receive them. He is about, I understand, to sail for Europe, in the early part of April, and although this is a season of | much labor for the clergy, if they can make it convenient to appeint a day, perhaps, within the week before his departure, such’ a reception might be arranged and I have no doubt it would be soothing to his feelings. There is no doubt that this man, making such sacritices of feel- ing and interest, was actuated by motives far higher ticularly under the pressing circimstances of delicate health, to have a soothing, and comforting, and encour- aging influence upon one in the situation of Arch+ bishop Mosquera. In regard to the second resolution the Archbishop said —The most suitable present, Ithink, would be # pectoral cross, or a cross and chain,and a committee of three reverend gentlemen may now be appointed. If the arch- bishop were in want, as mo t of the other exiled bishops are, it would be our duty to come forward with aid essen- tiulto his own personal sustenance and comfort; but I believe that his family are wealthy, and I have reason to know that he himself was wealthy, by the proof that he expended nearly $100,000 u; in ecclesiastical semina- ry, which the governined? © nada hus taken and ap- } propriated to other uses. This wasdone out of his own private fortune. Ho is not, therefore, in destitate cir- cumstances; and it is not in that sense that we propose to make this offering, but as a memoriai—a memento of our feelings. It should be a present suitable to hus rank; and I presume that the pastors of the Church who are | here, without fixing any amount a3 to what it shall cost, will be prepared to furnish the means of paying for it. | It ought to be genteel, it ought to be worthy Of this | of sympathy, a word of encouragement, cannot ty mecting. Its principal value, however, is the motive with which it is presented. ‘The meeting acquiescing in the proposal of the Arch- Vishop toname a committee for the sélection of this me. morial, the following gentlemen were appointed:—Rey. Mr. Loughlin, Rey. Mr. Bacon. and Dr. Cumming. THE CASE OF DR. NEWMAN. Archbishop Hvcuxs said—This is a case of a kindced nature tothe one just disposed of, and will take the opportunity of calling your attention to it. It is no longer a bishop upon the American continent, but it is a priest in England. Many of us, for a long time past, have been accustomed to read and admire the writings of the now Very Reverend Dr. Newman, and we wore acquainted with his fame and his beautiful character even before he became a member of the Church; and since he became @ member of the Church we +l know that imaense erudi ion, his almost inconesivable labors, hie extrsordi nary talents, and exemplary and pious life, have illnstra- ted and adorned the faith which he bas embraced. Dr. Newman was one of those men who was surrounded by such propitious circumstances that he might have looked forward to the highest honors of that high, wealthy, and powerful religious community to which he belonged; but, weighing the things of time against those of eternity, the world and its honors beeame dim in his estimatios, and he expoused the cause of that scattered and down trodden flock, the remnants of once Catholic England Nor has he gone this with impunity. It is well knon that bh | has habitually one of the most gentle spirits that ha: ever devoted itself to learning—that he is gentleness self; but, nevertheless, actuated by an unholy veal, a foreign priest came to fngland, and undertook to gratify the open ear of that credulous peo- ple—eredulous of everything hostile of our Church; and when this priest undertook to expose our communion and assail all that was holy and pure in the ecclesiasti cal life, and in the lives of the Holy Virgins who have re- tired from the world, Father Newman hestitated not to answer him; not with malice but with trath. and with a power of description which cannot be equalled in any language. He spoke of him only what had bsen published before in the Dublin Review, and in a small pamphlet circulated all over England; but it had not been said by Newman before. The person by whom it Ifwd been said before had not forsaken the Established Chureh and passed over to the down trodde1 community of the seat- vered Catholics. Therefore Father Newman was selected; intense anxiety that long and trying ordeal through which he has passed, and if he had uot escaped by a technical sentence of the civil law—if, notwithstonding the pubiie c pinion opposed to him, a jury opposed to him, | a learned counsel opposed to him, and, who can dery it, @ judge upon the bench, who should hold the ecales of justice with a steady hand, opposed to him—if all this could amount to but a technical con dempation, and ¢o technical that the very judge who | pronounceé his sentence pronounced his apology, and declared him acquitted of every stain, and of the +lizhtest | blemish of moral culpability; a victor, as regards his reputation; but he comes forth from it as a man to scme extent injured and shattered in than anything of earth can present; neverthele-s, a word | fail, par- and we can easily imagine, for we have followed with | comes from that ordeal | | | his health by the anxiety which he has heen subjected | | to, and in the loss of the little means which he had col- | lected, and which he was devoting to the service and | honor'of God. Indeed, so much shattered was he that if Catholie sympathy had not come to his relief he would now be in prison without hope of redemptiou. for he had no reans to pay the costs of that expensive trial. I think, then, being now here together, that it would be proper that we should convey to that ilinstrious writer and doctor of the Catholic Church our sense of sympathy for his sufferings, our sense of admiration for his services, und our high testimony accompanied with & little money, not topay the fine which the British government has imposed, but as a token of our regard with a suitable address, Let us send to him a parse as large as the berality of the Catholic clergy of the city of New York use—and ler it be well understood that in the application of the money he is not to be 1 ted. It was then agreed that a collection °l | for Dr. Newman. | Some discussion occurred as to whether the Arch- | shop Mosquera should be requested to allow the laity | of this city an opportunity to express their sympathy to. ward him publicly The Rey. Dr Cumsrve said—Perhaps it would be bet if, not consulting the feelings of the Arebishop, we the Catholics in New York sn opportunity on | | | | i | | | | | | nould be opened sympathy ind are often made use of to serve political or momen tary purposes. These mectings may be designated under the name of “humbug; but when we consider the | nature of the country, and that our expression of sympathy witha di-tingui-hed con‘essor of our faith wil he ve its influence far and wide—when we remember that | | thore who are opposed to us have made use of these pub lic meetings to injure the members of our faith «nd to misrepresent their belief, I think that it may be advisable, yerbaps, to give an opportuni y to the laity and the cler gy to meet together, and give jmbiic expression of their ssmpathy to the Archhishop,uron some day on which he é be able to attend such meeting. I do not bnow how the Juty can pay their respects to him in large numbers, or how members of the laity ean call vpon him without making ar odious distinction, At | a public meeting large numbers of Catholies can attend. But we must consult the popular feeling in this matter If this expression of feeling is exhibited in ref-rence to cre who has come here on account of his fidelity to the faith it will bave an eflect all uther the country. It would’, show the Catholics of the United state-—ond those who are not Catholic-—that if other than Catholics here in New York can call together a large meeting to ittack the Catholic Church, and the persons of her mi vis ters that there is courage enough among the Catholics | to use the sameengine in a different spirit.
