If ia evident that the leaven OF hno" Nol1-
ingism is beginning to work. Proihineh' lou
;ools in the Eastern States have, for some tlne'
been engaged in an effort to revive tne oiu
Know Nothing party, and the New YORK fio'S
will doubtless materially aid them IN tneir u0'
signs The late riot is laid at the door OF tne
Catholic Church, while the truth is that the
Catholic clergy of New York city, headed by
Archbishop McClosky, did everything In their
mower To restrain members of that Church
from participating in such lawless proceedings.
The event which is celebrated on the i2th OF
July by Orangemen is, the battle OF the boyne'
fought in 1890, between the forces OF hihg
William. of Orange, and those OF King James
II. It was a battle fought for the subjugation
of the natives of Ireland who were mostly all
Catholics and resulted in their subjugatlon,
and the confscation of all their property,
which was parceled out by the merclless con-
oueror to his followers and fayorites, and was
followed by heartless persecution OF the
Catholic Irish in every way imaginable In
1885, during the reign OF William Nv, the
British Parliament passed an act to suppress
Orange societies; and, it is said that, among
the Protestant Irish in the old country, not
one out of hundred affiliate with the Orange
men, but, on the contrary, they unite with the
Catholic Irish in opposing that infamous organ
ization When the Prince of Wales visited
America in 1861 upon his entry into Canada
the Orangemen proposed TO turn out IN body
with banners to receive him, but by order oil
the Duke of Newcastle, they were expressly
prohibited from doing so. 1t is stated that an
Orangeman, if faithful to his oath taken when
he becomes n member of the organization,
cannot become a citizen of the United States
that the designs of the order are hostile to the
spirit of republican institutions, aud in case of
war with England they would be found in the
ranks of the British army, while the great mass
of our Irish population who are so bitterly hated
BY Orangemen, would, as is well known, rally
under the flag of their adopted country. No
true Irishman, who loves his native land, and
who desires to see it delivered from the British
yoke, ever becomes an Orangeman. The com. |
memoratlon Of the victory achieved at the |
such n long train Of persecution of Catholic
Irish, unequalled in the history of any other
country, or of any other nation, is not n dem.
onstration which is likely 10 be fayorably re-
garded by Irish Catholics in any country.
Celebrating the downfall Of a nation is not
pleasant ceremony to the people thereof, any
more than would the celebration of the mas
sacre of ST. Bartholomew by Catholics be
pleasant spectacle to Professionals, and yet
while every society or order has in this coun-
try constitutional and legal right To peacea-
bly, assemble and celebrate in a becoming man.
rer any anniversary they choose, due allowance
should be made for the rash conduct of those
whose feelings are outraged by such insulting
displays us that engaged in by Orangemen
clarifying spirit of religious intolerance and
prescription. Radicals who so thoroughly hate
catholics, Of course defend the Oraneemen.
and the Protestant Protective League proposed
to be organized, is but new name for the old
know Nothing party to iaaugurate another
republican war on Catholicism in America.
