The Transcript, and other tory papers, are cndee
vorng to have believed that our Irish fellow citisens
induced to join in the demons against the
rioters from apprehension Of the safety Of the Catholic
churches We tell contemporaries that In this
they are mistaken. The Irish were, from the begin
ming most anxious to enroll themselves in the support
CT the government, and made more than one formal
application to that effect. We that the
tories calculated otherwise that they supposed that
the Conner affair Of last summer had cstranged the
Irish from the administrations but again say,
they more mistaken; and we can further inform
them that, in our own presence several OF the very
men who had been most prominent in sustaining Mr.
OConnors movement, rendered their warmest support
to the government
As to the churches, persuaded that there are
Int few in ANYTHING
cndangcr their safety. II Is not however, to be con-
ccaed that threat have bee and that during
the burning Of the Parliament building, language was
spoken respecting the adjacent convent which showed
the worst spirit towards the institution and its inmates
Indispuable evidence to this effect exists We again
however that do not attribute OF this feel
ing to the tory party as SUCH neither do we believe
that the destruction which has taken place was de-
signed authorized by such men Mr. Moffatt Mr..
Wilson, and others; but still it was perpctrated. II
Mr. Moatt cannot restrain his followers, others must
