One Of the strongest arguments the anti
Americans use against the American Order is,
stat the members thereof are proscrptive in
their views regarding d particular sect OF rem
gionists Although this is reckless partisan
war cry; although it has no foundation IN iaos'
although it has been denied again and again
although irrefragible proofs have been produced
showing it's falsity still tits INDUCED
in by nnsorunulous demagogues, who hesitate not

prefermeDt.
Tolsration is word we particularly admire.
I'd embodies sentiment We have always sus-
tanned. 1t enunciates principles great and
which we shall always advocate. federation
means charity, forbearance, kindness it incul-
Gates the sublime idea of doing unto others as
We would wish others to do unto us. A man
should be tolerant towards his fellows We are
all frail, imperfect mortais, and too often the
debit side of the account shows 8 frightful pre-
ponderance over the credit side. Therefore we
should be tolerant in all things-in politics, ge-
ligion, questions, interests and issues and look
with lenient eye upon the foibles of our neigh
bors, If we would strive to see ourselves a.
others see u.s. this cardinal virture would be
practieed to much greater extent than it
now is. & Rs7 f'F
But those who are the principal aocusers Of
the American party--who most fercely and con-
tinuously accuse the Americans Of intolerance
who denouncs them in language as bitter and
maleyolent as it is uncslled for and untrue-are
the very ones who practice prescription Of
their own native born brethren which, for vim
dictiveness and ferooity, the snnals Of the world
furnish no parallel, simply on account of diff
ference in religious belief!
Now, this is all wrong, and proves conclu-
sively that these men are not sincere In their
denunciations They do not practice what they
preach, and a man who does not that, is not
honest. Their actions give the LIE to their pro-
fessions- hence, their professions, protestations
and arguments, sire not worth the paper upon
which they are written. 1t is said that the
devil can, when it suits his purpose, preach as
good a sermon as the most pious parson, but
that does not transform his satanic majesty into
saint. He is devil still, whom all good men
should and do avoid.
As proof Of thiawe submit the following, from
the New York irish American, denunciatory Of
it's own countrymen because they happen to be
raised Professionals:
of there Bio upon this earth being more contemp
BILE than another it is the Irish Orapgsman. In degrade
ton there ssti lower depth there be upon the
face globe scoundre greater than another IL
Ii the Irish american 0rangeman!s
Irishmen should learn to be tolerant towards
Irishmen, before they cali upon foreigners to be
tolerant towards themselves They should not
forget this important truth. Even were intole-
rance contemplated against them BY strangers,
which it is not, how could they complain when
they thus treat their own native born brethren!
