commend the action OF the central com

the time and expense Of one convention
-yhich is not an unimportant item at
his busy season Of the year. We hope
hat town committees will call the

delegates who will be sure to attend.
It is hoped that every town will be full

,no expression on the question of Gov

favor of Gov. Austin first and last.
The question Of judge, it seems has not
been very fully discussed as yet in any

An Italian association in New York

An Italian association in New York
city has had meeting to consider tho
propriety Of celebrating the removal o!
the capital from Florence to Rome
The question ofa public parade came
up, and was disposed Of by the Presi-
dent Of the association in the following
sensible language:
1t is wrong. for tho sake Of empty
pageantry, that aliens should provoke
feelings of cnmity among classes and
creeds. In making any national dis
play we should remember that this is
America, tho frecst and greatest land
on earth where clannish demonstrations
arc insults. and where any cause OF
international disturbances provoked by
foreign peeuliarites means insratltudc
to the country that has sheltered and
been bountitul to so many millions who
knew no cemfort at home. Let u:
not therefore he even the rcmotcs'
cause Of any unkindly feeling among
onr fellow men in this broad arena o:

Beecher on the n. 7. Riot.

Henry Ward Beecher says, in the
Christian Union: The Orange soci-
etics should parade next year without
banner less or one inscription rubbed
out They should not do it on the im-
piled promise that if protected for once
they will do it no more. They ought to
move through the streets of New York
until nobody thinks Of molcsting them.
When that time arrives it will be n
matter of no public Importance whether
the annual procession is kept upor not =;
but as lorg as dog wags his tongue
against an Orangemen's procession, or
a bcwildered magistrate forgets his duty
towards them, the public good requires
their continuance If the Orangemen
of New York, do not, next year, march
through the streets of the city. they
will betray sacred duty. BY accident
they have become representatives Of the
principle which lies at the foundation
Of modern civilization. They do not
new represent spent fact in history,
but living principles it is not the bat
tie Of the Boyno in Ireland, but the
question Of liberty IN New York"
The effect upon the Mormans Of
building the Pacific Railway is beginning
to show. Tho oligarchy is becoming
shaky. Reforc the opening Of the
railroad the Gentilcs in Utah were few,
and we're not, generally speking, OF a
class likely to disturb the confidence of
the people in their scmi-rcligious gov
crnment. The first effect is the rapid
growth Of Norman seeders. There was
a time when these come-outers would
have pcrishcd by assassination at the
hands of the "avenging angels" But
the influx of Gentiles have given them
a physical and moral aupport, which
was impossible in past days.
