THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, 1RH,
LAND AND GOV. HOFFMAN.

New York riot On Wednesday is the
infamous attempt of the New York
Tribune to manufacture political
capital against Mayor Hall and Gov.
Hoffman, Notwithstanding Hall was
in favor of forbidding the procession
and Hoffman in favor of allowing it
to proceed. The inconsistency of
the Tribune Is only equalled by its
righteousness and want of even de-
cent pretense for its wanton libels.
Its venom against Irishmen finds
vent in an indiscriminate TRADE
against Ireland and its people. 1t
goes out of its way to talk about
what it is pleased to call 1.-The cow
ardly, lying, treacherous, %intolerant
bigotry and lawlessness which has
disgraced ireland and Irishmen for
thousands of years" 1t would be
we'll for the Tribune to remember a
little of its own history, and that of
its political associates during the
past twenty years, before it con-
POUNDS alike the guilty and the in
nocent who happen to be born in a
different country. Has the Tribune
forgotten the Philadelphia riots?
Does it forget the burning of con-
vents in Massachusetts? Has it
forgotten that ~lawlessness that rioted
in the streets of Northern cities when
Federal officials attempted to enforce
the Fugitive Slave Act? Has it for
gotten the long list of unparalleled
outrages, violence and crime by
which its political party gained and
Iperpetuated its power in this coun-
try? What has been the party which
the Tribune represents but a gigan-
tic, long-continued riot against the
Constitution of the United States.
until there is scarcely a stone in the
Constitutional edifice that its authors
would recognize? Yet in the same
breath which vehemently denounces
the country which gave birth to those
New York rioters, the Tribune
as hotly denounces the very officer
who fearlessly, vigorously brought
all the powers at his command to
sustain the rights of American citi-
zens, in procession Or out of them,
and to crush out and suppress the
mob, confounding in its general on
Slaught alike those who would have
saved the city this disgrace by pre-
venting the procession, and those
who protected it so thoroughly that
not a single Orangeman lost his life.
Badly indeed must the Tribune feel
the desperation of lis necessitious
political condition when it INDUCES
in such invective as reported by
telegraph. If the Republican party
of New York has no resource to re-
gain its lost prestige but this pan
derlng to vulgar, vicious hate against
foreign-born citizens, indiscrimin-
ately confounding a nationality with
the acts of a comparatively few in
dividuals, it must haveavery barren
prospect before it.. Let the New
York Tribune boil, and the New
York Times simmer, and all cold
blooded Ra1icalism howl until its
throat is husky, the great body of
the American people will stand by
Gov. Hoffman, his proclamatiop, and
his enforcement of it. As democrat
lied as the people may have become
there is still manliness enough left
in the great heart of the community
to honor the officer who knows his
duty and fe~arlessly performs it !;
though knowing that by that very
act he makes himself the target for
all the misrepresentation and abuse
which Inscriptions enemies can in
vent, and base panderers to sectional
and national hate can instigate.
However much Gov. Hofman's per-
sonal popularity may suffer in the
