A Democratic mayor Of New
York, who presides over . million
Of people. undertook to prevent .
procession Of Protestant Irishmen
because it would be Offensive to
another class Of people, and to
conciliate the votes Of that clsss.
This order, . reasonable attack
upon the principles Of religious
freedom, and the perfect tolers-
ton Of all was justified BY the
New York World and other lead
ing Democratic journals, and thus
was . general departure, on the
part Of the Democracy throughout
the land, TO justify or palliate the
outrage, and . united purpose to
heap obloquy upon the Orange
men who went in the procession.
In this land We tolerate Protest.
ants, Hebrews. Catholics, unbelisv
ers, Mahommedans, Cinnamon aad
men of every faith. We tolerate
everything but intolerance. The
alarming thing about the New
York riots is that they please the
general tendency of the Democrat
ic party. especially Of New York,
to sustain Mayor Hall in striking .
reasonable blow at the religious
liberty of this country. They make
war upon Hoffman because he per-
mitted himself 70 be forced into the
defence of the right. It shows that
the Democratic party can not be
trusted with the interests Of liberty
in any respect. Democracy will
pander to slavery, religious intol-
erance, and to vice in every form
to secure votes.
The Democratic party propose to
acquire power by the abuse OF the
republican psrty-theY propose no
measure Of finance-they don't
agree upon the tariff nor currency,
and, so far ~ measures are con-
cerned, the party is in state Of
bankruptcy aud utter poverty. 1t
is doing most prodigious lying
about the Republican party. and
gives forth foul outbursts Of Mum
chausen and Sinbad.
There are bad men in the Repub-
lican party, as there are in every
party, church and state organiza-
ton, but that party is the purest
which contains the fewest rascals
and the least corruption, and shows
a disposition to arrest and punish
them when discovered. There is
less corruption in the government
to-day than during the administra
ton of Buchanan and Pierce, al
though the work of the fed deral
power has been vastly extended
and the amount of revenue col.
lected and disbursed has been vast
| " extended and the amount Of rev
enue collec ted and disbursed has
been vastly increased Wherever

The corruption Of the New YorA
Democracy shocks the sensibilitiea
Of the world. There the e, Gates,
rascals own their courts as they
lown their carriages and horses,
and Judicial opinions are bought
and sold like merchandise. II your

The administration needs no de

general prosperity Of the nation; In

in the faithful collection and dis
bursement Of the revenue.
