On Wednesday, the 18th instant, the city Of
New York was the scene Of the horrors Of o riot
between the Irish Catholics and the Orange
men. In days that have been long gone by
these terrible collisions were witnessed In the
streets Of citics across the waters. Tho memo
ries, the hates ard prcjudces Of those days
have been transmitted from father 10 son, from
Europe 10 America, and on Wednesday, the
history Of the old strife repeated itself In the
streets Of the American metropolis.

Mayor issuing proclamation forbidding the
Orange procession, because he and tho police
could not prevent an eilusion Of blood by an
attack from those whose feelings and SYM
Pathies were antagonistic to the spirit that

the Mayor and guaranteeing full aud prompt
protection To the procession by tho militia Of
the State, IL required. We do not wish to be
understood as arraigning the entire Catholic
community Of the city. This is not the case.

PRIEST advised their congregations 10 abstain
from any violent demonstrations against the
procession. aud condemned the course that the
conduct OF tho opposition manifested. How
ever. these things did not avert the neditated
