Partisan Professions.

The Detroit IY,stern Cathode urges the
prohibition 10y law OF public professions on
st. Patricks Day, the anniversary of the
Battle Of the Boyne, and similar festivals
The suggestion has much on it's face to com.
mend it, Its adoption would prevent such
outragcs as those which took place at Elm
Park a week ago, and which are liable to be
repeated every year to come. The celebra
tons themselves have no claim upon the
sympathies Of American citizens, being com.
memorative Of occurrences In which the
interests of this country are in no wise in.
volved. They nre purely foreign in their
nature, and their suppression is quite within
the score of police authority.
A little reflection, however will show that
the proposed remedy Is worse than the dis
case. Upon the game principle that we
should forbid professions of Granger or
Catholics--namcly, that they provoke II
breach Of the peace-we might also forbid
political professions by Democrats and Re
publicans. All that would be required az
n prctcXt would be one riotous attack byDem.

trary interference with ime.honored priv.

to suit our people
The only thing to be done is to require
those who make the demons rations in qucs-
ton TO conduct themselves in IN orderly and
peaccoblc manner, and to avoid needless
tRunts and irritations to their opponents.
So long as they do tbs, aud restrain them
selves within the limits Of ordinary good
behavior, the power of the law should be
employed to defend them in the enjoyment
of their liberties, and not to deprive them OF
it. The freedom of which we nre so proud
is freedom for all, and not merely for part
and it will lie an evil day for US when we
