ST. PATRICK AND ST. WILLIAM.
From the Nstion.l
The persons who parade in honor OF
st. Patrick in this city every year have
certainly not as yet established many
claims to the sympathy or respect of
the American public, and get very
little Of either; bus it ought not TO be
forgotten, in comparing the st. Pat
rick's procession with the Orange one,
that st. Patrick YVES 3 Christian mis-
sionary and civilizeT, and that "A trib-
ute to his memory does not and ought
not to rouse any bitterness or animOsi-
ty in the mind OF any rational man.
His name is associated with nothing
but peace and goodwill. The battle
of the BOyne, on the other hand,
though it established civil and re-
IigiOus liberty on firm basis in Eng
land, and was, therefore, one of the
most important battles in his
tOry-Ddce the historians Of the City
Hall-was for the Irish the beginning
of a period of almost unparalleled
misery and oppression, and estab-
Iished among them q system of class
rule, which ii is no eXaggeratiOn to
call deVilish, and which came to an
end only at the time Of the American
revolution. That the Irish Catholics
should therefore still remember it with
hate and rage, and should see in a
DubliC celebration of il kind of open
rejoicing over their sorrow and degra-
dstiOu. and that the spectacle Of such
a celebration should rouse the more
ignorant and degraded of them into
blood and fury, is nothing wonderful.
Orangemen profess to be very plOus
and great Bible readers, and are, we
believe, on the whole, a highly re-
spectacle and intelligent body of men.
It may not, therefore, be useless to
suggest to them, that now that their
rights have been vindicated, the most
creditable thing they could do for their
order and for Professionalism would be
TO 20 in professions no more.
THE BATTLE OF BOYNE WATER, JULY
18th.
From !he Atlanta ga sun lDemOcrstic.)
1t is to be regretted and lamented
that Orangemen have seen ut to in
trude their organization, that from its
very nature, cannot be transplanted
and made to flourish on American soil,
upon the attention of our people; and |
that the RibbOnmen and their SYM |
pathizers have been unable to restrain |
themselves from unlawful violence. |
Yet, Notwithstanding the threatened
mob, it was right in Governor HOf- |
Fuan to countermand the order Of the |
Chief Of Police, KelsO, fOrbidding the |
procession Of Orangemen on the 18th !
instant. II is inconsistent with the |
theory of cur free institutions to forbid |
oeaceable assemblies of the people, |
/
auce by word or act to political or re- |
sentiments, IN accord with, or |
opposed to, the sentiments OF any |
mOiety OF the community The Rib.
bonmen and their sympathiZers erred |
in disturbing or even threatening the |
procession. Whether or not the au- |
thorities erred in ordering the guards !
10 fire indiscriminately upon the mass |
OF people in the streets OF New York, |
on Wednesday, further details are ne |
cessafy to determine. Let Protestants |
and Catholics Of every degree have a |
care that the riots, which have called |
forth this article, do nOtUnduly excite |
them in reference TO their respective /
views, and arouse a feeling |
Of religious intolerance that is unbe- |
coming Americans.
From the Washington Patriot Demo
craft.
The blood that stains the streets of /
New York will not be in vain, if it
a new religiO.pOlitical cru
5ade in this country. Had the Orange /
Darade been prevented, or even had its /
voluntarily relinquished it,
our belief is, from the indications
made in the New York Radical press,
Syhen such a thing seemed likely to
occur, that a new prosecuting organi-
lation would have been formed,
which, in its malignant scope, would
have far transcribed these pseudo
religious combinations, that have
more than once discredited the politics
lf our country, and which have
always ended. as this has begun, in
blood. Let US trust the new social
danger is aVerted, by this dreadful
scene OF blood. Let US have faith
that never again shall transplanted
politics do the deeds Of
and outrage amongst US.
From the Philadelphia Age (DemOcratic.)
This small number OF 0rangemen
who took part in the parade, the small
number Of rioters who took an active
part in the fight, prove that ii was but
, portion of the Irish citizens Of New
!, ,0rk who were willing to renew their
.era,. .'itary feud upon the soil Of their
donta1 country. Had the press OF
yew York. by wise and temperate
ounseIs hscly.>,d the dissuasive letter
4 Mayor Hall. il is probable that the
orange Association you'd have vol
lntafily dispensed with the parade.
The press, in giving a fa.Se colorlng
