THE EVILS or UNRESTRICTED rMMsGRA.
 Ts0N,

of avenging the death of. theH Italian
 brethren in the parish prison, New Or.
 leans. Although they were secretive,
 the fact leaked out that an attack and
 sacking of Pittsburg with 10000, men
 would be made, and that every Italian
 settlement in Allegheny and Beaver
 counties were expected to send their
 quota of armed men, Other sections
 within striking distance of Pittsburg
 had promised assistance. With this
 and other facts of a similar nature, of
 which native born and naturalizcd cit
 izens have become cognizant, it be-
 hooves, for the well being of society,
 thnt the better class of citizens should
 ut once importune Congress to so
 change our naturalization laws as to
 preclude the possibility of America be-
 coming the receptacle of banded aesas.
 sins who are forced to leave the land of
 their birth for their count.ys good.
 While il is true that major part of
 our naturalized citizens are desirable
 adjunct to bur population, and at all
 times welcome to admission and the
 unrestricted enjoyment of our R6publi- can form of government, yet the great lesson of self-protection is now being taught by the Italian emeute, and Con- gress should profit by the instruction.
 Tie unrestricted license of Italians in this country renders it absolutely necessary that the chasteniug hand of international law should be applied and at once. April 4th at large meeting of Italians at Leftover Falls, \. Y., res. olutions were adopted denouncing the citizens of New Orleans and the con stitution of the United States in Ganer- al, and they subsequently nuisted the American flag on high pole and rid. dled it with bullets. In West More land and Fayette counties, Pennsylya- mia, the same scene of disorder vas wit messed. In the former county riot occurred ill which ten aliens were killed by the regular constituted author itles In an endeavor to protect private It is alleged the mob were the first to fire, when it was returned by the sheritfs posse with deadly effect. In consequence of the present threat ening aspect of affairs Allegheny, West Moreland and Fayette counties are armed camps, Those so outraging the comity of nations, in direct violation of existing political laws of the United States AS defined in an act to protect all citizens in their civil and legal rights should under the existing state of af- fairs between this country and Italy, be i restrained, secured and ] as alien enemies, and ill de- | fault of such action on the part of the | United States, should any further at- .empts to desecrate the flag be made, | we would advise the adoption of the | order of General Dix, then Secretary | ,f the Treasury, to Mr, ". HelapEiti ' Jones; "If any one attempts to haul | Town the American flag, shoot him on .he spot" and inasmuch as Dix omitted .o designate the particular spot on which to puncture the offender, we S5uld suggest that be be shot in the ,ye.
 If the present threatening aspect of italy towards the United States, the of her political representa- i've and peremptory demand upon he United States governments for con- lign punishment of certain of her cit. ems, which she has not the power to rant, should lead to declaration of var, then, and in that event, those of italian birth in this country who have publicly and secretly been giving aid nd comfort to Italy are guilty oftreason O the United States and should. there ore, be hanged as high as was Haman, trough the intervention of Esther. by Ter husband and King, Ahasuerus. The sequel to Italy's bluster is still urther suggestive of the lawless and character of her subjects. The Italian authorities, as an excuse or their precipitate action, now blush ngly acknowledges that it was through
 10 hostile intent that she recalled hef minister and exacted of the United 'tates course of action toward those f our New Orleans citizens who forced he jail doors of the parish prison and filed certain members of the Maiia rganization, but that it was forced pon her by the tumult of her own itizens in Rome. Nevertheless, wheth- r 1ne or false, we have nothing to ear from Italy. The London Econo- list explains the situation of that king 2 power. It says; "Italy is in bag; hey cannot fight and they cannot ob- ain the redress they want without ghting, Italy's allies will never per nit her to risk war that would dis Ib European combinations. The Jnited States holds such an exception I l position that it cannot be conquered ,
