OraDgeism.

A writer in the New York Tribune,
a Catholic, hailing originally from
the south of Ireland, insists strongly
that "Orangeism is, in reality, q
political organization under the guise
of religion" We copy some of his
statements. He says:

men being Protestant, all Protestants
are Orangemen. know many
Protestants who denounce Orange
men. ..s." .... -...
/ would impress upon the minds of
Americans Of all religious denomin-
atoms that il is not on account of
their religion that Orangemen are
hated by patriotic Irishmen, but on
account of their politics; and they
would be quite as much hated If they
never insulted the Pope. nay if they
sang his praises, and ut the same
time played the air, "Croppies Lie
Down." and they know it; but they
add other insults, such as shouting
ITO hell with the Pope" &C., to give
the whole affair religious appear.

to stand on their true merits.
The names most cherished by Irish
patriots, by Irish Catholics, are those
of noble Professionals who suffered
martyrdom for their country. Lord
Edward Fitzgerald, Wolfe Tone,
Robert Emmett, Thomas Davis, and
Smith O'Brien, were oil Protestants |;
and last, though not least, John
Mitchell, a good staunch Protestant,
but not an Orangeman. I have be-
louged to the extreme south of Ire
land. where the proportion of Roman
Catholics to Protestants is as one

religion. My most intimate friends
were Professionals, but they We're not

would fight for their country as read

The Dubuque Telegraph says there
are lessons to be learned from the
late riots In New York, and there arc
none who ought tn profit more from
what these lessons teach than Irish.
Americans. This Is good doctrine, II
is plain truth, IL is common sense
But then In the very next sentence
the Telegraph kicks all this sound
philosophy over by pleading oppres-
sion for the men who melted and
carried on the late mob in New York
Oppression! In this free country of
liberty that word has great meaning,
but it is not to be i'll used or abused.
To deprive man of the privilege OF
killing another Is not oppression. -
This land Is justly claimed the asy-
lum for the oppressed of all nations,
but IL means no retreat for rioters,
murderers and cut-throats. 1t is no
battle ground for men of other ma.
tionalities to come and settle their
old fueds and prejudices. .s.
Apropos to the sympathy expressed
by the Dubuque Telegraph for the
late rioters in New York, the Chi
cago Tribune asks, "Who are these
men? Are they dolts? are they saw.
ages? are they prison-hounds7 or are
they lunatics at large? They pre-
tend to be American citizens, vel
prove their unfitness for association
with civilized mankind. They have
all the ferocity of the Comanches
the insolence of the Turks, without
the intelligence and bravery of either
These men profess to be exiles from
political oppression, yet where have
there been more intolerant despots
than they? They claim to belong tc
q nation that has suffered martyrdom
for opinions sake for centuries, yet
the mob that demanded that Pontius
PLATE should deliver Christ to bt
crucified were models of Christian
benevolence compared with these
bowling, bigoted, cruel and lawless
villains. They claim to rule New
York city, and ruling New York city
to rule the State and the Union.--
They propose to set aside law and
constitution, peace and order, and to
make their chiefs dictators. Their
will,-the will of the drunken, lazy
idle. cowardly, brutal mob, the deni
zens of the slums, and the denizeni
of the drinking-shops,-the will o.
these men, arrogantly expressed
murderously enforced, is sought to be
made the supreme law Of the great
metropolis of the United States"
The lessons for the rioters of New
York is obedience to law, respect fol
the opinion of others, and tolerance
toward those who claim the right, In
this free country, to do as they please,
30 long AS they are acting the part OF
law~abiding citizens.
