is generally thought that a few hot heads will
force collision on Wednesday, but that the
great body of Irish Catholics will lend any coun-
tenance to the premeditated riot is not believed.
There were several meetings of Hibernan soce-
ties yesterday, and scenes of violence are re-
ported IN several instances where the more
moderate attempted to counsel the observance of
law and order. Great excitement prevails, and
the air is thick with rumors. The Orangemen
expect to be Joined in the parade by about 1900
members of the American Protestant associa-
ton, and by about 1000 other sympathizers, so
that they will have altogether about 5000 men in
line. They express a calm determination to
parade, regardless of opposition, but seeking no
quarrel, are prepared to repel an attack. The
grand master and other prominent members of
the society have received many threatening let
tiers warning them that if they parade it will be
at the peril of their lives.
The Roman Catholic Irish societies, chiefly the
ancient order of Hibernans of this city and vi
cinity, number about 10000 men, of whom all
are believed to be preparing to parade. 1t is ru-
mored that delegation from the Hibernian So
ciety left last night to wait upon Gen. Grant and
request him to interpose the authority Of the
general government to prevent breach of the
peace, which is represented as certain to occur
should the procession take place. The Hiber-
mans took with them formidable supply of le-
gal documents affidavits, &C., so that the presi-
hove Al.
threatened danger, and so be empowered to act
if he considered it a proper occasion for his iu-
reference. Great hopes are expressed by the
Hibernians that if the city authorities will not
act TO stop the demonstration that the president
will forbid it by proclamation.
In the course of his sermon at the dedication
of St. Paul's Catholic church in Harlem yester-
day, Archbishop McCloskey, alluding to the
threatened Orange demonstration on Wednes-
day next, said: eve all know too well the
danger which threatens this community in the
course of the ensuing week. The newspapers
have agitated it. Rumor has waited it to our
ears, and even the dead walls are pacarded
with the lowering evil. Everything tells US
that systematic and combined effort is now
being made to excite an anti-Catholic move
ment in the community. A procession is an
nounced to take place in our streets on Wednes-
day next. 1t is intended by the participants, at
least the chief movers in the affair, to produce

The archbishop, after abiding to the duty of
Catholics, said: 81 earnestly expect every Cath
Ole to beware Of even going near that Orange
procession on Wednesday next, if it is TO take
place at all; and hope it is not. hope the
proper authority will see the wisdom of prevent
ing it. With all my soul l entreat you, Irish
Catholics, to make no counter demonstration of
any kind. Do nothing that would give your
enemies the chance they eovet to divert to you
the odium which those 0rangemen will be sure
to bring upon themselves il they be allowed to
carry out their unproyoked programme Of silly
offensiyeness unmolested. They are not worthy
OF recognition even as foes. Avoid them as you
would any other pests. Ifyou pursue any other
course, under the leadof those dangerous soeie-
