July 10, 1871.
The riots in Moo York affected me terri
blv. viewed from any standpoint, the oc
currence wuz deplorable. Two hnndrec
Dimocrats shot down by the brootal MN
tary, who will never rally to the polls agln
and will never agin rapeat their VoIes, ~
matter how high the price. Ana an 1nl
becoz them undetermined sons Nv Erin IN
sisted on the rite to dictate who shOod anc
who shood not parade the streets Nv thel
city NV Moo York i hev, however, the
consolashep Nv KNOWN that it won't make
any difference in our majority in that city
There is ships on the sea bringing more
Irisbmen, who kin be made voters foul
hours after they land, and eff no more
comes, them ez is here kin vote oftener. Ii
NAV be necessary to furnish some NV em
bosses and buggies that they may gel
around to the polls faster, but that will be
all.
he'd my little trouble on the same day.
1t so happened that the children Nv our
church he'd pitched upon the 18th NV July
ez the day for their pienick, and it so hap.
pened that Pollock hevin lot NV damaged
waller calico, Deekin Pennibacker bought 1t
tn make rosettes for the children and
sash for myself, who wus to cheef marshal
EN-. The mite afOre we received letter
from Dennis O'Shoughnessy, Patrick
O'Brien and Shamus O'Daly, the three
Irishmen who live at the Corners Station,
that they understood that it wus the inten-
shun of the Protestants Nv the Corners to
celebrate the battle Nv the BOyne with an
Oronge procession. They gave notice that
it he'd better be abandoned, for they wood
-, mi A no
warnin, eff blood should be shed, they could
not be held responsible.
No one in the COrners-that is the ma
tives-hed ever heered Nv the battle Nv
the Boyne or knowd what Orange"
meant, and so, takin it ez joke, no atten-
shun wuz paid to it, for no percesshun he'd
ever been mobbed at the Corners, but mig
ger percesshuns But next mornin when
the percesshun moved, vOlley Nv stones
greeted US. wuz ridin proudly at its he'd,
on Bascom's mule, and one well-directed
rock hurled me senseless to the ground,
and ez the shepherd wuz smitten the sheep
wuz scattered. Dennis OShougnessy told
us that the feelins Nv the Catholics citizens
Nv the Corners shood never be outraged so
long ez he he'd strength to handle club or
heave a stun. Some Nv our people wuz
indignant, but |, the chief sufferer, wuz
not. | he'd lived in Moo York, witch Is
mostly Irish, and KNOWN their idiosyn-
cracies, wuz willn to forgive em. Their
amt no better Dimocrats anywhere than
these men, and no rock kin be throwed
witch kin make me do anything agin that
organizashun, Nv witch these men is the
backbone.
And when ] got a paper and read Nv the
riots in Moo York, lite beamed onto me.
Ez the Catholic Irishmen dou't like the Or
ange color, on the twelfth of July, wonder
that the three we hev contented themselves
with merely heavin rocks at us. 1t is not
to be expected that they will allow any
demonstrashen which hurts their feelings to
be made without an attempt to suppress it.
The ardent son Nv Erin is an impulsive
creacher who delites in hevin his own way.
They hev taken charge Nv the government
NV the city Nv Moo York, and they ought
not to be interfered with, nor will they be.
l see but one way to prevent SIGH difficult
ties hereafter, and that plan | submit to the
consideration of the American people, ez
follows:
Let an ordinance be passed by the Com
mon Council Nv Moo York, providing for
the appointment nv committee who shell
hev sole control NV professions and all pub
lie displays, sed committee to consist Nv ten
Catholic priests, NV Irish BIRTH and ten
Catholic laymen, also NV Irish birth. To
this committee all these matters shell be re-
ferred. They shell hev the power to say wat
societies shell and wat societies shell not
parade, and also wat banners, colOrs and
insignia shell be displayed, wat toOns shell
be played, and on wat days SIGH displays
shell be made.
Wv course this committee wood be liberal.
They wood never object to the celebrashen
Nv the Fourth of July flor that commemo-
rates triumph over British tyranny, per-
ticerly eff the percession would pledge
themselves to carry the green flag and hev
their bands play Irish national airs only.
The followiH, l suppose, wood be the
tenor Nv most Nv the answers to applica-
shens for the privilege Nv paradin:
To the Superintendent NV street Methodist
Sun day School:
Permission refused. On the route pro-
posed for the procession lives three hundred
Catholic families, which would be offended
at it. The committee does not want to be
bothered with SIGH applicashens, ez none Nv
EN- will be granted.

Chairman.
This wood save a riot and bloodshed, for
Nv course the procession couldn't take
place, and the Irish people couldn't be
onless it WIZ at the presumption
Nv the Methodists in making the request.
Then again:
To the Committee on Procession Nv Lodge No.
Knites NV Pythias
The committee hevin carefully examined
the ritual Nv sed order, and tindin therein
nothin offensive to the Irish citizens NV the
United States, and nothin pertikerly often
sive to the Holy Catholic Church, the said
Order is hereby permitted to parade Jooly
81, 1871 1t is suggested that to ashoor the
Irish citizens living along the route that the
society hez nothing in it offensive to EN-,
and that the parade is not intended ez an
insult to EN-, that the green flag Nv Erin be
displayed above the banner NV the Order,
that the members NV the Order wear green
sashes, that an lrishman be employed to
act ez Marshal, and that the band be in
structed to play nothing but 1.-The Wearin

Chairman pro tenn.
There mite be cases wher the same society
mite receive the following notice afore the
parade:
To the President Nv Lodge No. -, Knites nv
Pythias:
1t havin come to the knowledge NV this
committee that the Ancient Order Nv Hiber-
mans, and also the Young Mems Society Nv
the Church Nv the immaculate Concepshun,
intend to parade to morrow, and ez both Nv
these professions will cross the streets
named ez yoor route, the order permittin
you to parade is hereby revoked. The com
mittee will give you motifs Nv the first day
on witch no body Nv Catholics or Irish citi-
zens desire to yoose the streets, that yoor
demonstration may take place peaceably.
In addishun to this, it might be well to
make ST. Patricks Day legal holiday. the
