Sister Mary of the Annunciation has sent from Pittsburgh Brownson's letter asking for Dunne's address in regard to the Catholic Congress. This is a little flattering to Dunne, showing that notwith-standing his having been hidden here in the woods for the last eight years he is not entirely forgotten. They did forget him in their invitations to the university last spring. Having had some experience in organizing conventions and feeling a great interest in the matter, he will make some suggestions and for-ward them to Brownson so that he can decide conveniently. It then occurred to him that he could best illustrate by sending an imaginery report of a session as it might be advantageously managed. Of course the resolutions are crude and merely suggestive, his idea being that they ought to be settled on as soon as possible and a committee set to work to select the men who would be best fitted to make the appropriate responses. The contributions should be worked up like an editor would work up a number of a magazine. By all means try to get John Lawler of Prairie du Chien. He is a whole battery of big guns, grand personal presence, big voice, powerful speaker and per-fectly sound for a response on colonization. Bishop John L. Spalding and Archbishop Patrick John Ryan are our best orators, the latter the much better of the two and has great power, the former sometimes nervous and strained but generally good and inspiring. Dunne is not at all satisfied with his resolution on capital and labor and hopes it may be bettered. All may be bettered, but he is particularly dissatisfied with that one because it does not seem to amount to anything practically. When he gets Brownson's letter he will write again. He hopes to see a great demonstration at the Congress, not as to numbers, but showy intellectually, for it will be judged critically. Catholics have set themselves against the spirit of the age, and rightly so, for it is a detestable spirit, and is sharpest men will "hawk and tear" at the Congress :: III-3-e A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
