Compliments to American Citi-
ZenS.


The Boston Pilot, one of the most IA
vored and popular Of the Catholic organs
in the United States, gives utterance in the
following very emphatic strain, to the opin-
ion 1t entertains for American citizens:
awe every day read of congregation
OF the American Order assembling for the
purpose of insulting females and even COM
uniting outrages upon them. This is a
proof of the braggadocia bravery of Anne
ricans: they have no manliness-no hon
orno love Of fair play = it is of no use rea-
sonlng with them; there are but two-cour-
SEES left, the most plausible of which Island
we believe that it is the determination Of
many of our Irish breathren, to knock them
dorm, or otherwise chastise them corno-
really, for should our Irishmen appeal 70
law for redress, the odds are against him
Tor religious predjudices run 50 high IN
Court that with a prostant Judge fand a
protestant Jury the poor opposed Irishman
would be deprived Of all just means of re-
| dress"
The above will perhaps explain why we
md IN our exchanges frequent notices Of
attacks made upon the American citizens
by those of foreign birth. They NAV be
acting upon ''high law" and in supposed
obedience to commands that are not f. ha
lightly regarded. 1t does not appear that
the assailants have made much. as vet bv
u tins course, and our prisite opinion IS that
lhey VIII BY perslsting, arouse feeling that
N lts reaction will lead to deplorabIIe re-
sults.- Galena jeff. ~

is owing to his honorable way of doing busI-

displayed in the compromising of the med-

reproach, and his medicines are without IL
val for the purposes for which they are recon-
