What I do object to is mass in masquerade. To the so'cnin ceremonies of our Roman Catho' lie frieuds I am prepared to extend that reverence which my mind and conscience alw.iys give to religious ceremonies sincerely believed in; but the fale position in which we hive been placed by, I beieve, a small but a powerful aud well-organised body of those who call themselves English clergymen, ia one which the country thinks intolerable, and of which we ought to rid ourselves."
