IL O'CLOCK MIDNlGHr-We are compelled to go
press, and have only closing remark to make !;
the Catholics Of this city have in measure effect
ed the fell purpose at which they aimed, that OF
bringing the American military in collision with
American citizens. This they have pursued with a
purpose both systematic as characteristically vi
| clous. Having obtained legal opinion that mob
may be summary fired on by the military, they
have left no stone unturned to raise mob round
their churches, both by incendiary pubiica-
tons and an unneces sary exhibition OF
armed array when there was not shadow Of dan
ger. 1t the American Republicans had been found
barracks of their head quarters, for the purpose OF
intimidating the Catholics, we should have been
the first to expose and denounce the injudiclous
act; as it s the fearful responsibility rests with
those whose overt demonstrations Of menace or
tdWnt have bcgot the dreadful issue that we this
day detail But enough, an awful responsibility
rests on the head of both the insigators and the
authors of the horrid butcheries of yesterday and
last night.
