The following remarks of O'Connell and
the Rev. Mr.. Moriarty, pastor of the church
which was burned by the mob in Phiadel--
pha, last summer, explain themselves:
Mr.. O'Connell again rose, and said he
| had to hand in Ell, the subscription of the
Rev. Mr.. Meriarty, Of Philadelphia, whom
he regretted to see in this country. Per-
sonally, he rejniced to see him, but he re-
GREETED exceedingly the cause that had
brought him there-it was to raise meney
to rebuild the Catholic churches that had
been burned during the late riots. [hear]
The public were aware that attroc;ty I'M
paralleled in civilized times, horrors that
made men ashamed TO belong TO human
nature, had been perpetrated By the inhabi-'
tants of PHILADELPHIA under the name of
90 Mattress" against The Catholics and the
| rish. On the first occasion of these riots
they held meeting for the purpose Of en-
tering into resolutions against the Catho-
lies, and as the Irish were allowing them
- proceed peaccably, they moved an adj
journment unto the Irish quarter. They
then went looking for a riot, and the per-
son who vent amongst lrishmen for such
a purpose was not likely TO be disappoint-
ed, or if he were, he could easily &c, up
riot himself. They destroyed two Catho-
lie churches, and on the fourth Of July,
the anniversary Of American independence,
that brutal AMI barbarous mob got the au-
thorlies to disarm the Catholics, under tho
pretence that they would be protected, and
then attacked them until they were driven
back by superior military force. Such
was the origin Of tins horrible instance Of
bgotry and fanaticism hear, hear, hearl.
He reoiced tina. no Catholic people had
crCr been guilty Of Gny fanatical violence,
though Catholic soverei gns-as in tho at
rocious reign Of Queen Mary OF England
had done so. He read the other day IN
an American newspaper leading article,
stating that peace could never be esta-
b!ished in America until the misguided and
unfortunate people, the Mormons, were
annihiated; and then it added, that after
the Mormons were exterminated they
should exterminate the Catholics. He
would leave the meeting to consider ,oha:
a state Of society it ~as in which such a
newspaper was supported. 1t was from
that system Of misercant murder that his
reverend friend had returned, and he trust
ed that his introduction Of him 10 that as
ISOLATION would not be injurious 10 him in
his efforts 10 collect subscriptions for the
erection of those churches Gcheers, and
hear, hear].
The Rev. Mr.. Moriarty, on rising TO
address the meeting. was received with
loud cheering, and proceeded 10 speak ut
some length. He begged 10 assure his
friends that were it only for the sake Of
their religion he appealed to them, he
would not come forward so willingly, but
during the recent outrages in the United
States It was not onl Y the determination of
Catholcliy, but the suppression Of the spi-
rlt OF nationality, and o.. the movement ia
favor OF Ireland which was sought for

by the educated, enlightened, and civilized
men OF America, but he was sorry to saw
that the number of such men there was

he could assure the meeting that there was

and that they were ready to lay down their
lives for her sake. Loud cheers.l Thew
had suffered much there, but IN obedience
TO the mandate Of the teacher of na,ions
Mr.. OConnell they had avoided every
chance Of a collision with their enemies.
Cheers Their houses had been LAID
waste-their churches burned-his own
life had been three times ATTEMPTED in tho
public streets Of Philadelphia. Loud cries.
OF "oh. oho'l He had nothing to depend
upon FOR his protection, but his own fear

and his fellow cosntrymen in America
would again raise up the cross to be encir-
cleo by a wrerth Of shamrocks. TCheers.1

leave America. 1t was intended to frgh-

but they were no! to be frightened. Loud

but it would only be while, with their dying
breath, they called aloud for their cross,
and for their glorious faiherland loud
cheers. The news of his reception here
would be gratifying to his friends in Ams-
RIGA; and he would be able to make tho
news ring through the United States, that
there was deep sympathy felt for the per-
secuted Irish by their fellow countrymen
in their native land. The Rev. gentleman
concluded by commenting upon The nigga
'ltude of the United States, which would
venture to exterminate Irishmen, when
they had done so much for that country by
their bravery and talent. [Cheers.1
