1t oyer--that you have evil counsellors at the
Iiish American press | am obliged to admit
i do admit it--that there are among the
Journalists who address you imprudent writers
writers who, from inefiiciency, folly, or evil
! design, expose You to the anger of American
rotestants-who, if they create excitement
! by abuse of those who differ from them and
you, repay, or expect to repay, themselves at
your expense, by such discussion and excite
ment am aware that they, by their teach
ings, offend and disgust an immense portion
of the American people, and that you are con-
Sidered to admire and entertain the opinions
they put forth. am convinced that the
prejudice against which you have to contend
and the bitter luminosity with whichthe name
OF freshman is associated in the American
mind spring from and are innamed by these
teachings: One of these journalists takes the
part OF Russia against Turkey; another writes
that printing is Il curse, and education a ruin;
another contends that Ireland would be better
off under the heaviest despotiSm Of England
than as free Republic; another that politics
should be associated with and controlled by
the church. All these offensive remarks and
doctrines, coupled with indecent and violent
abuse Of Professionalism, create deadly anger
against you in the American mind and, al
though | know you abhor these opinions, and
repud!ate them, believe me- they commit you,
and stand III judgement against you.
Taking these circumstances into account,
find it an imperitive duty to implore YOU
to keep away from scenes, occasions, and pa-
ces where the peace, order and law of the City
may be endangered. pray YOU to allow ey-
cry man and woman-no matter how insane
OF ridiculous Neutrality-suspicious. NAV choose
to preach on the wharf, in the street, or thro'
the thoroughlares to do so without moleSta-
ton. Niolencei is no argument Abuse end
ing in blows leaves the subject where it com
menced. They only lead to the inference
that you fear discussions; that you have not
sufficient confidence in the teachers and
preachers of your church; and that You wish
and want to crush opposition by physical
force.
Now, it strikes me that, instead of yielding
to idle curiosity or that natural indignation
which abuse Of what one holds most dear is
sure to create, you should avoid gatherings
of this kind on the Sabbath-that YOU should
in preference frequent your own place of wor-
ship-the Sunday School Of your Church
or remain with your family and read your
own Bible, or some other pious andholy book.
Remember that we, Irishmen, to deserve
our position here, should be peaceful, indus
trious, and loyal Republicans. We should
perform our duties, whatever form of physic-
al or intellectual labor they may assume, with
quietness, diligence and propriety. If We do
we may rest assured the American mind will
justify us, public opinion sustain lis, and that
all unhealthy clamor and wild excitement,
raised against us by fanaticsm, bigotry, fac
ton, or the personal knayery Of dodgers and
demagogues, will subside.
write this over my own signature, because
if ever subject was deeply felt by mc,-if ey-
er intense anxiety prevailed in my mind to
discharge my duty towards my fellow-coun-
/ trymen-I feel the importance of that sub
jcct and an intensity of that anxiety more ir-
resistible now than on any former occasion
during my six years residence in the City of
New York.
do not enter into the general merits Of
the questionable arrest of the preacher. Mr..
Parsons--the meeting in the Park-the mo-
tiyes and the feelings Of the speakers thereat.
These | leave to the daily papers conducted
by American born citizens, and know they
will act independently and honoraby in the
premises My sense Of duty confines me to
offer to YOU the best advice in my power as
to your present and future action, during the
continuance of an unhappy religious excite
ment, produced by a Gavazzi on one hand
and some of our own imprudent and mischiey-
GUS journalists on the other.
