The American Celt an Irish paper, devotes
much space TO the killing Of Heating BY Mr.. Her
bert. Refaing 20 the vote BY Which Mr., Essberi
was shield fpm an Investigation, the Co says:
Now, insol6l1Dn to 4 at division on Hpbsrt's
case, we pvsp duty 70 perihrm, and we I'll not
shrink frSn d1ehArgisg II. That duty isI DO an
nounce, u ua1Distska1Ne rms, - tho e1l1opted
citizens Of Irish birth throughout the country, that
the Democratic party In Congress have shamefully
deserted their duty deserted their professions
OF impartiAty between different classes Of citizens
and that they have, as plainly as deeds can speak,
declared the murder or man Of Irish birth by one
Of their colleagues 10 be tri1e wholly unworthy
even Of inquiry. Is the Democratic party mad, on
is only rotten, that It should % belle itself p
With half dozen exceptions, every man Of the
majosity for Keating's murderer b pSofessod
Democrat What, then, does u mean Or can
II mean anything but one thing-that an Irishman
born, however peaceable, loyal b only At to be
used by the Democratic party, and when ussd ssi
up for target, and shot with impunity. This d
what it means, and to this meaning we shall hold
the enire party. 2f5ha
We hold Mr.. Pierce, Mr.. Douglas, and Mr..
Buchanan responsible for this conduct Of their
con6dants and supporters. They were al In
Washington; it was for days the topic of the
town; their friends have taken sides against the
victim and against common justice, they are not
wholly above suspicion. A few days ago the blood
of Thomas Heating was on the hands Of but one
Democrat; It has spread since then, and It b now
upon the souls Of the 10, who refused all inquiry.
1t 10 on the Democratic party, as party, and ac-
cursed be he who helps such party into power,
until that blood is lawfully purged away. isa
This is pretty strong language, but the Celt con-
cludes with the following unmistakable hint: a.
Let them not suppose this matter Is going TO
drop here. \ One ,cho seldom drops aaything has
IL noW IN hand and he distiacfly uarns the Dsso-
cratic Representatives. at Washinyton, that vjus-
tics ia not done the murderer, Herbert they will
be held accountable, as the party who interposed
to screen and protect him from the penalty Of his
guilt.
Who is this g one?" The Celt is Catholic pa
per. Its editor Is mouth-piece for Bishop Hughes,
and the above may be regarded a. q threat Of the
Archbishop against the Democratic party. He
will hold them accountable I" for the Heating MUIR
der, and in order to show his power, sell out the
distinctive Aish vote to Republicanism, or some
other party" The language Is incapable Of any
other construction. The Democratic Representa-
tives are to be judged by the Irish citizens and
voters Of the United States for the charge Of guilt
in the matter Of the Staying of Heating The old
ally turns upon its own party I'M ss ns' fs
The Celt also severely attacks one of it's Wash
ington correspondents for yenturing to shield Mr..
Herbert by calling him an g honorable man. and
saying that he deeply regrets the unfortunate oc-
currence. sh s, NJ \
