JoHxsrowS, PA, July Is, 1871.

EDITon FIR FREEMAN-For black hearted bigotry
and false and scurrilous assertions, commend
to the columns of the Altoona Radical"
In its last issue there is an editorial leader,
1.-THE Catholic Outrage" in which the venom
Gus scribe attributes the late riot in New York
to the teachings of the Catholic Church,
screams like a donkey that the Catholics
wanted to strike blow at American indspend-
snce by trying to prevent American citizsns'(D
to parade through the streets, etc. To use
Greeleyism, The villain lies, and he knows
that he lies" These riots are sincerely de-
pIored by all good Catholics. Did not the
Archbishop and all the priests in every church
in New I ork, on last Sunday, request their
respective congregations to go as usual to their
work on the 18th of July, and not to notice the
Orangemsn, if they did parade7 Did not o.
Donovan Rosa, a representative Irish patriot,
call meeting and begged of his countrymen
not to modest or disturb their parade7 Why,
then, charge the whole Catholic community
with the acts Of few wild enthusiastsf Why
try to revive and bring into active life again
the hel-sp.wned spirit OF Know Nothingism
by malicious and wilfully false assertionsf
Does the author of the dastardly article
know what he is prating about when he speaks
of Ornngemen as American citizens7 He might
as well call negro a white man or the devil
a saint, as call an Orangeman an American
citizen. An Orangeman never was and never
can be a citizen unless he periures himself
subject of the British crown-to defend it
against ALL foreign invaders, etc. During
the late rebellion who claimed the protection
of the English flag in New York, Philadelphia
and other large cities? The Orangemen and
Englishmen did. Did an Irish Catholic do it7
l defy any one to produce proof of a single in
stance. He would die thousand deaths first.
What right have those cowardly creatures
called Orapgemen to parade with insulting
banners, playing party tunes, and doing all in
their power to provoke thousands of Catholic
citizens? These blind wretches celebrate the
anniversary of battle fought in Ireland in
1890, which sealed the doom of their own
country, for then commenced the bloody Penal
Laws and all the other slavish statut tes worthy
of a Parliament of hell. Let the authorities
only inquire into it, and | am satisfied that
Orangeism will have to cave under. Think OF
81 CHATS the number that paraded) BRIrIsn
SUBJ EoTs marching under insulting banners in
the Empire City OF America, and these 30 enc
mics of liberty surrounded by American SOL
diers and policel "Oh, Liberty! what crimes
are committed in thy nams"'
In conclusion, tell the radical" ranter
that his lying article will do more to damage
himself and his party in Blair and Cambria
counties than anything that has been written
for years past. We are determined to prove
it next fall. In justice to tho Catholics of AL
toona, | ask, as a matter of courtesy, that the
Altoona "W eekly Sun will copy this. /
do SO. / may have more on this subject again.
