shall with your permission. occupy few lines
more Of your valuable journal in very limited re-
view OF he extracts from. the North American oil
tbi. ci.v. ard of your comments, winch accompo-
nied the publication Of my letter in the Tribune OF
the 10Th.
With regard 20 the facts and views OF the North
American, it is only necessary in order to torn
proper estimate OF their impartiuy ami correctness
10 know that one o, the gentlemen connected with
the management of that press is himself lender OF
the Native American party, and has. by the part
which he look in the meeting called for the purpose
Of ,uknc measures for revcnging the death oi
Scheitler 1.-THE first rloter k!ed.) le himself liable
10 an Indictment for melting a rot Inns no DOUBT
will be done by the Grand jury now making inquiry
into the origin oi the riots and The crlmlnay O the
several parties concerned therein. This Jury can
not. in accordance with the view OF the law taken
by Judge Parsons in his definition OF Il not, AVOID
ndicng all the parties officially connected with the
meetings OF Monday and Tuesday, as accessories 10
4 riotoljs suppression of the authority ot the Law.
II will hardly therefore, he expected that one OF the
criminal parties 10 this outrage should express views
or state facts without bias or iasehood. Thus, Tor
instance among the facts published in the columns
of that paper during the last few days, may be
tound the tralupling OF the American Flag by the
Irish Papis;s the finding OF splendid rifles IN The
houses of The rioters: the organization OF Catho-
lie body officially connected with 81. Michaels
church 10 prevent, BY force, The Native Meeting;
the ontecedent preparation OF the houses for an
sault upon the meeting, by the making OF port
holes and II number OF other unounded and mali
cious statements deliberately coined 10 mISead the
public mind and extricale from their perous posi-
tons the guilty parilcpators IN these diSgraceill
scenes But it will mot do. The investigation now
being made by the Grand Jury will show the utter
f,ls;iv OF these assertions and thousand others ;
will show that the Flag was never, throughout the
whole melee out OF The possession and caic OF III
Oranremen and Natives that there was no Organl-
Zaron of anv kind to prevent The meeting OF the Ma
iiyes: that there were no rifles OF any kind found
but such ms had been used Two years ago IN the
Orange Weaver riots, in the same district; and that
the only PORTFOLIOS, as yer shown are those mace
in the sides Of window frames TO admit The bolt OF
the cross-bar 10 pass thought Such is the truth Of
the statements oil the \. \. and OF thousand other
statements, which, like that put forth in a penny
print which is revolving To refer tO-oia thousand
stand of arms in st. Nichael's ard ST. Augustine
churches, combined to inilamc the popular phrcnzy
and devote those churches 10 conilagraton.
70 account Tor the manifold misrepresentation
with vi ich even impartial presses have tccncd on
this occasion, il must be considered that all the
Irish witnesses of the primary conflict have been,
either obliged to iIy for their lives, terrified INTO
silence By the ruthless barbarSm OF the rioters. In
connection with this fact it must be remembered
that the only reporters present al toe primary meet
ings were connected, either by sympathy or actual
membership with the Nat"c party. Thus 1t Is,
that the uited States Gazette most respectable
and impartial Journal has been led into the grOssest
Measurements hy the bias OF lis reporter,-iiey

tive faction. and q leader of il. But time, whose
