| The hostility between the Oraugemai
and Catholics of Ireland is an old story
but the older it grows none the less ferc.
or imp.acable it becomes. The Orange
| men, devoted TO professionalism and the
reigIing family OF England, and bound
| by the secret ties OF their order to hold il
| perpetual detestation the tenets OF Catho
| licism, propose to have grand procession
! n New York to-day, the 12th of July, il
/ celebration of the battle Of the Boyne,
and it has been usual for chem to manlfest
| their peculiar religious and national ami
| mostly by parading banners with anti
Catholic and anti-Fenian devices ard mot
| toes on such occasions. In anticipation
of s1ch display the Catholics and Fe-
| mans have become very much excited, and
| the dispatches which for some days past
have been published from New Yolk have
indicated an extreme probability of Sc
rlous armed conflict. In this state of af-
fairs Il rchb hbisaop McClosky has interposed
his counsel. On Sunday, at his instance,
all the Catholic clergy Of the city advised
'i1eir pa ishioners against makil g any de-
mOnstTa ion, and the Archbishop, in SER
mon at the dedication of the new Catholic
Church Ia Harlem on that day, said:

that you yourselves were instrumental il

also who are to enforce these laws are
