The shooting of Heating.

The following is from the American Get, an
Irish Catholic paper, edited by Darcy Niece,
of New York, and is in relation to the action OF
the House of Representatives on the shooting
of Heating, by Herbert
In view of the fact that the ms-called Democ-
racy of the country, have made special procla-
nation and protestation of their love for foreign
ers and regard for their rights hold it to have
been their duty to have given this case their
special attention because the murdered man was
a foreigner. For years they have been boasting
themselves the only friends of the foreigners
and particularly the poor foreigners, in the ma
tion, and have been during the same time, zeal
Gus in branding the Republicans as their OPP
ponents, and enemies. Yet when q poor for
eigner is murdered by rich Democrat, as the
Cell says, they do no. consider it even worth their
attention. The Celt is right in its view of the
subject, when we consider the position the party
voluntarily assumes as the special and only
friend of the foreigner and his rights.
But the Celt does not get the whole story
while it might. have been the duty of this de
rnocrscy to have given this matter their special
attention, and melted out swift Justice to the
criminal, in view of their own professions it is
but justice to that party to express the opinion
that they have not neglected the duty because
the murdered man was foreigner. No, they
have broader and more comprehensive reason
than that. 1t was because the man was a Ia
joTcr: that is the whole reason of it. The
whole democracy is under the control Of men who
o'cn laborers. They are in the habit of beating
these laborers at their pleasure and occasionally
shooting or burning them-though as that is an
expensive luxury it is not often INDUCED in
and consequently consider the laborer as an
inferior and degraded being. When Herbert
addressed Heating as Odd Irish son of a
b-h," he was simply using the common ad-
dress of the slave plantation, varied to suit the
particular case, and when he followed it up by
shooting the man dead, he was but acting out,
the prescriptive right assumed by the slave hol-
der over the laborer. Never did worse or more
unmitigated aristocracy curse the earth, than
that which now rules under the name of Democ-
racy. Even in Old Monarchial England, should
one of the privileged class shoot, in the same
way, one of the laboring class, his own peers
would cast him from among them, and give him
over to punishment. We commend the article
of the Celt, to the attention Of all our readers,
whether native or foreign -
Now, in relation to that division on Herberts case,
we have duty TO perform, and shall not shrink
from dschorging it. That duty is to announce in
unmistskabe terms TO the adopted citizens of Irish
birth throughout tile country, that the Democratic
party in Congress, have shamefully deserted their
duty, deserted their professions of importantly
between different classes of citizens and that the V
have as plainly as deeds speak, declared the
murder of man of Irish birth by o: their col
lcagucs to be trife wholly unworthy even Of en-
quiry. Is the Democratic party mad or is it only
rotten, that it should so belle itself. With half a
dozen exceptions every man of the majority for
keating's murderer is protested democrat. What
then docs it mean! Or can it mean anything but
ono thing-that an Irish man born, however peace
able loyal is only tit TO be used by the Democrat
ic party, and when used set up for target and shot
meaning shall hold the entire party. We hold
