The sixty MIMI OrtsL Regiment and

In another column we copy from the Metro
politan Record, Archbishop hughes organ, the
Sixty ninth regiment refusing to parade, In
obedience 10 the order OF General Sanford, on
the occasion OF the reception Of the Prince Of
Wales. The meaning Of these resolutions, di-
vested OF their surplus verbiage. is that the
American government and people are bound to
wage war agsiust all the monarchies of the
earth. ana assist by money. men and arms all

to the Irish people sixty years ago, therefore
their Milesian descendants now in this country
should not conduct themselves as gentlemen,
but insult the descendant of George III, a
young man Of nineteen years Of age, who has
never done any evil 10 Ireland or any other
country.
This is small potato business, unworthy
of the we'll known chivalry of the Irish
race. The American people had two wars with
George Ill, one Of which began in l77G, and
lasted Tor seven years. In that war they suf
tered az much as the Irish ever did at the nands
of George III. Still later there was another
war, which lasted three years, ending forty
FIVE years ago. Ia both wars the British mo-
march was defeated. But the American people
have now no feeling against the descendants of
those who waged these wars; nor is it for the
interest of either patien to be upon unfriendy
terms There IL no longer any cause Of quar-

All governments, whether they are monarch

Of their calibre would make in Ireland. A
short time ago this regiment recognized the
Queen Of England By asking the favor Of being
