, RIGN PRESS ON THE NEW
YORK RIOT.
An Irish and Catholic Opinion Of

YORK RIOT.
An Irish and Ca,hoiIe opinion Of
Ihe New York Riet.
IL any man imagines that this kind of
lawlessness, this savage intolerance,
will make the position of the Irish In
the United States a bit better than
what 1t Is, he Is egregiously mistaken.
II any man imagines that rtoting and
defying the authorities will cause the
name Of an Irishman to be held in
higher respect in this country, he COM
mits an objectionable error. And the
Il of freedom at home, about which
we all have had such glorious hopes
lately, how will that be affected BY
this scandalous and barbarous rowdy-
Ism? It will certainly be grievously
injured, and the day Of our national
regeneration will be retarded. God
knows how long! All that our: best
and purest men have done to effect a
union between our countrymen, Cath
Ollie and Protestant, will be utterly de.
stroyed; all the sympathy and moral
support from other nations that have
been won by the herolsm and devotion
Of our patriots, will be Withdrawn.
The hands of our enemies will be
strengthened, for men will say we de-
serve the slavery and oppression that
crush our people ut home. what, IN
the name of heaven, can Intelligent
and freedom-loving men say but that
the Irish are unfit to be free, seoing
that they are totally destitute OF tho
first requisite OF a free peoples spirit
of liberation. And as an argument
that cannot be refuted, they will cite
the New York Riots Of 18th Of July,

what tho German Press Says.
The reports OF the riot in New York
came upon the country like q clap OF
thunder, calling tho peoples attention
to the perils which threaten us. The
fanatical assault made upon a number
of peaceable men intending to hold a
celebration, q right guaranteed them
by the laws, was not only ~disgraccful,
but brutal in the extreme. A short
| time ago In this city the Catholic citi'
| zens celebrated the Pope's anniversary,
and no attack was made upon them,
| although the affair was in reality more
| offensive to a majority Of American
citizens than any other celebration
that has ever taken place. On that
| eventful day the orator of the occasion
took the liberty OF grossly insulting q
| Catholic nation with which tho United
| States is at peace, and heaped igno'
miny upon King Victor Emanuel. the
| popular and chosen ruler Of the King.
dom of Italy. Yet the good sense anc
forbearance of the masses Of Il citi
zens made no overt act Of ~protestatiol
against such offensive and insulting
conduct. "If this dark power Is vic
torious, then farewell to freedom ant
| the Republic" In another article the
same journal says that the riots are thu
first "infallible" fruit, fallen from
the tree fostered by the eccleslastica
dictator. Throughout the United
| States the warning signal has beer

denly awakened to their senses. The

The free citizens of this country car
now observe what q dangerous latenI

formerly had political alliances with

they have sundered tho alliance ant
