The "DcmOcratic Guard' md the
New York Riots.

ssTnE American of last week is full of venom.
It could not easily be excelled for intolerance,
bgotry and slander. In obedience TO the rcck-
less leaders of its party, its whole effort is to
raise the cry of down with Catholicism, aud up |
with Professionalism Hence, its shameful misre-
presentation. 1t is the old spirit of Know Moth
ingism taking new shape. The doom OF the ra- |
dical party is scaled its leaders see 1t {; the |
American secs it. The war is over slavery is |
over; the negro votes the hordcs of revenue |
collectors and government plunderers are expos |
cd the ku-KluX hum-bug is too garing. The |
people are waking up to their rights rcforma- |
ton is demanded the radical party dare not at |
tempt reform, for then the National Treasury |
can't be plundcred the South can't be robbed ; |
the military must lose its power. What now? A |
''new departure" must be made; war of rcl-
'gions must nc gotten up. With peace the radical
party must die. 1t is the party of strifc--hate--
war and blood.-Without these 1t cannot exist.
Democrats-patriots- will remember that the ra-
dical party intended, on last 18th of July, to
raise the most fearful riot in the city of New
York the world ever saw, and but for the Catho-
lie clergy Keeping ali true church members ut
home on that day, they would have succeeded too
well. AS 1t was the military fired the first and
last shot. The crowd were not prepared to re-
sist, and without q show of resistance fed. Pro-
testantism wants no OrangcmCn to insultingly
display its banners. Ours is not u religion of
hostile parados, nor n religion of the sword, nor
of tho Government, nor of any race, nor OF the
radical party, but of the cross Professionalism is
prominently religion of peace, love, and good
will to men. Remember, these principles are
death to radicaism. Democratic Guard Of last
Week.
The above shows very strong attach
mcnt for the Irish Catholics, in whom the
editors of the Guard depend for votes to
elect their candidate for Associate Judge
at the coming election. The best reply that
can be made to it, is expressed in an ar
ticlc in Pomeroy'S Democrat of the Goth
ult., which paper the Guard has heretofore
delighted in quoting as the oracle of gcnu-
inc Democracy. Below we copy the arti-

The Real Murderers OfNew York.
From all parts of the country come pa
pers filled with reports and criticisms on
the terrible riot here on the 18th Of July.
Some blame one party, some the other.
Some blame Orangcmen-some the Catho-
lics-some the police-some the Mayor
some the Governor.
1t was a bloody, bcastly, butchoriug af-
fair, in which, as usual, more of the inno-
cent than of the guilty fell. 1t was riot
resulting from the rotten, corrupt, knavish,
cowardly, robbing government the city of
New y York is cursed with. 1t was q riot
resulting from making .hc government of
New York one of thieves and robbers in
partnership with other thieves and robbers
"a riot there was no call or need for "a
riot which would never have occurred had
the masters, owners and rulers of New
York, known as the head SachemS ofTam-
many, been as anxious to honor the law rs
they arc to curry favor with and please
that brutal, ignorant, drunken rabble OF
rcpcaters, bruisers, shOuldcr-hitters, MUIR
J derers and uneducated Catholics, who own
New York city, body and boundaries, as
an Indian does his dog.
New York has been by her business
men given over to the thieves and the
Catholics who manage affairs here. The
power which places our rulers in power
comes from the slums, cutters, pancl-crbs
gambling-houses and saloons. These
puces demand protection for such places.
