feud between Irish factions again kinded to fame
and threaten serious disturbances peace in this
city Wednesday next the day chosen by the Orange
men for their annual parade The Orangemen fewer In
numbers, propose to parade, Haunting their chosen
coors and marching to their favorite music, |
under the protection OF the constituted au- |
thorities, while the Rbbonmen have passionately |
appealed, first, to the authorities to prevent |
what they claim insuerabe insults to themselves
and next their adherens to muster under arms for
riot The result is in profound agitation among
Irish people throughout the city, in which the priest
hood seems be powerless. Serious apprehension Of
boodshed prevails, notwithstanding the contemplated
arrayng OF the entire force Of police together perhaps
with some regiments Of militia.
The plans of neither faction definitely known their
meetings and proceedings being secret The proposed
line OF march OF the Orangemen is not yet discosed
but is believed that they will not attempt picnie and
for the sake of avoiding tumult will abstain from play
ing the especially obnoxious air Of Croppies Lie Down.

calls TO them being urgent In terms, and referring

the Roman Catholics will hold festival In Landmarks
