The trnnxfer of • political loud tiuit
hag excited the people of Ireland for
nearly rtrd hundred'jfafs to the soil
of America ii a Remarkable, social
and political. phenomenon, entitled
to something more than u passing
notice. For in its history is involved
a continuous social, political and re
ligioos warfare between neighbors,
that for deadly hatred between the
contending factions has rarely been
excelled in the annals of a civilised
people. It is a warfare about which it
is scarcely possible to get meinliers of
either party to converse with caliu-
neae. Kven tlieir descendants, where

violent personal conflicts.
In such a history there is much
food for reflection, and many lessons
for the enlightened anil 'thoughtful
statesman. The student of human
nature and the conscientious relig
ionist find mnch in the origin of the
Sibbouism and Orangeism that have
so afflicted the Irish jieuplc at home
and abroad, to attract their attention
and to exoite the liveliest interest.
Viewed from the narrow stand
point of the sectarian bigot, or that pf
the factious demagogue, who is reck

com] [dish his ends the. recent riot
in New York, and that of a* year ago
op the anniversary of the battle of
Boyne Water, which was fought on
the 12th of July, 1090, between the
forces of William, of Orange, and
those of James II., resulting df#a»
trously to the latter, oro intensified
in significance by the fanaticism of
the former, and the designing selfish
ness of the latter.
Already has the cry been raised
that “Know-nothingism” must be re
vived to save the country from the
rale of Roman Catholios. It is wall,
therefore that those uninformed, shall
enquire for themselvos into the his
tory of a feud that has so painfully
and terribly asserted itself in the
streets of New York, and is now on
oxciting topio of conversation all over
the oountry. Protestant ministers,
protestant writers and politicians of
native American proclivities would do
Well to pause before giving nf tcranoe
to rash expressions In regard to the
animus that led to tho riots referred
to. It should be borne in mind that
ours is the nineteenth instead of the
seventeenth century, and that how-
much soever religious faith may have
entered into tho politioal affairs of
Insular and Continental Europe, two
hundred years ago in the United

uew landlords were not the Kindest of
masters, nor were their oppressed and
downtrodden tenants the meekest of
laborers and peasants. It is not sur
prising that the vanquished and op
pressed, (to use a recently invented,
but. expressive word), Ku-Kluxed
some of their oppressors, and that
their landlords so suddenly enriched
by the fortune of war, found it con
venient to absent themselves from
their newly acquired homes, and nec
essary to enter into secret leagues for
mutnal protection and defence.
From the very nature of the polit
ical situation at the time their organ
izations originated, the Ribbonmen
were all Catholics and the Orange
men all Protestants.
On no spot of earth rnled by any
of the civilized powers of Europe, has
the oppressive policy which had its
origin in difference of religious faith
two hundred years ago, been so per
sistently persevered in, as has been
that adopted by England after the
battle of the Boyne towards her
Irish subjects.
Only recently hag that policy been
materially ameliorated. The common
sense of the civilized world has pro
nounccd against it It is this con
demnation that has secured sympa
thetic and charitable consideration
for the impracticabilities and visiona
ry warfare of Fenianism. For, how
ever impracticable may seem the
Fenian plan of inaugurating an Irish
Republic on the Continent of Ameri
ca and transferring it to tho Emer
ald Isle by force of arms, or however
Quixotic have been their tilts at the
outposts of the British Lion in Cana
da, it is not to be denied or gainsaid,
that throughout the enlightened
world there is a chord of sympathy
in the breasts of the lovers of liberty
that has vibrated in unison with the
prayers of the oppressed sons of Erin
for the independence of their native
Isle.
Old Englaud herself has felt these
vibrations. Hence the disestablish
ment of the Church in Ireland, the
increased facilities for education fur
nished tho masses, and many other
acts of hor Government intended to
pacify the Irish people and to ap-
|lease the offended sentiment of the
liberal minded of all nations.
By no kind of ratiocination can
the retaliatory feud, which is the sub
ject of this article, be fully justified on
moral grounds especially in view of
its accompanying horrors, persecu
tion, oppression, assassination, etc.
It is l>est on all occasions to abide
tho laws of the land. But when
laws are made, and enforced too, with
no ordinary vigor, to interfere with
and override inalienable rights, and
so operate as to render a people affect
ed by them hopeless of ameliorating
their condition by honest industry,
despair provokes a resort to means of
retaliation and revenge, which but
4br thr excitiiig causes that suggest
them would meet with tho unquali
fied condemnation of all enlightened
men.
It is not usual to award sympathy
to oppressors even though they suf
fer in manner and form, not strictly
legal, at the hands of the oppressed.
Therefore, even among protestants
outside of ' ivland, the Orangemen
have mil herctol'iire received much
sympathy.
For though Orangemon are all prefeas
ily protestants, theirs is s secret politi
cal organisation, composed of members
at n party identified as the oppressors of
vanquished Irishmen. Protestants out
side of Ireland have not the semblanoe
of an exouae to band themselves
together for protection against down
trodden and oppressed Catholics
whose ancestors’ lands were con
fiscated and divided among foreigners
and strangers. Neither in free America
is it necessary that Catholios shall band
themselves together in secret organisa
tions to resist the tyranny of haughty
and oppressive landlords and their dis
honest middle men.

However much Protestants may rejoice
it the triumph of the Revolution of
1688 in England, the local quarrel in Ire
land between Protestants and Catholics
is one that originated in erroneous states
manship, and they cannot, it properly en
lightened, approve the polioy . of tho
Oraugemen or the Ribbonmen in at
tempting to involve in it the people of
this or any other oonntry. For though
the war from which the organisation re
sulted, was to a great extent a war on
acoount of religion, and, elsewhere
throughout the British Empire, wrought
peace and quiet among religious secta
rians to an extent not before known in
Christendom, in Ireland, the mistaken
policy of William of Orange afflioted the
people and their deeoeodanti with un
numbered woes, that, with each passing
day, have intensified the hatred of
the oppreesed for their oppressors.

aontative of the politics of s part of the
population of Ireland, then the violcnoe
of the Ribbonmen in Now York might
imply religious intolerance as the animus
of the opposing mob. But neither the
adviee of an Archbishop of the Roman
Catholic Church, and the active co-ope
ration with him of the numerous priests
in his Arohi-episoopal Diocese, could
restrain the Ribbonmoo and their sym
pathizers from violence on Wednesday
last; thus proving that Ribbonism is a
political and not a religions party, al
though it is probably true tlmt all ltib-
bonmen are Roman Catholics.
When Catholio Irishmen celebrate St.
Patriok’s day, the act has no political
significance. It is a religions holiday,
which even Protestant Irishmen in this
oountry often join in oelebrating, in
memory of the cherished traditions of
their native land. But when Protestant
Irishmen, as OraDgemen, celebrate the
anniversary of Boyne Water, they do so
as a body of partisans, with whom not
all Protestant Irishmen, and very few
enlightened protestants of other nations
are in sympathy. Their anniversary
lacks several features in its associations
to make it parallel with St Patrick’s day
in its intent and its effects. The latter
tends to promote individual pleasure ami
social good will. The former aims at
perpetuating the memory of oppression
and tends to arouse the worst passions
in the hearts of opposing parties.
It is to be regretted and lamented
that Orangemen have seeD fit
to intrude their organization, that
ooming from auy quarter it asuy, which
acknowledges the binding foroe of any
amendment, of whatever character, that
even tends to the abridgement of the
rights of the States or to the centraliza
tion of power in the Oenenl Govern
ment. If it were merely a question of
the hour, involving no vital principle, we
wonld let it go with but a passing word;
but we do not so regard it It is a de
parture from the old Constitutional land
marks, and if peraiated in, the Demo
cratic party in the portion of aider and
abettor of Radicalism in their deter
mined effort to destroy State lines and con
solidate ull power iu the hands of the
President aud Congress.
The propriety of discussing this ques
tion now, or hereafter, is another matter.
Some ol our ootemporaries, while they
deplore the blunder of the State Conven
tion iu introducing the subject, are of the
opinion that discussion now is not advi
sable, yet they have taken particular cure
to put such construction upon the Ninth
Resolution as to make it.a meaningless,
nothing and of no importance whatever
to the party. Its authors, however, did
not to inteud it. What they did mean,
it is difficult to conjecture. It is not to
j l>e supposed that it was intended that
such a declaration would forover put to
r.ist tlie question of negro suffrage, for
the irec white citizeua oi the United
States have never senousiy contemplated
that the present condition of affairs is to
be tolerated for any considerable length
of time. The majority of no party is fa
vorable to a continuance of negro rule
anywhere within our States. Tbs poli
ticians are lining the negro for their owu
selfish purposes for the present, but this
condition of affairs cannot last long.
That tile balance of power between po
litical parties shall be plaoed in the bands

This being the oase, why delay discus-
sion of the question to another and later
be transplanted and made to flourish on
American soil, upon the attention of our
people; and that the Ribboumen and
their sympathizers have been unable to
restrain themselves from unlawful vio
lence. Yet, notwithstanding the threat
ened mob, it was right in Gov. Iloffman
man to oountermand the order of the
Ohief of Police, Kelso, forbidding tho
procession of OraDgemen on the 12th
inst, It is inconsistent with the theory
of our free institutions to forbid
peaosoble assemblies of the people,
whether their object be to give utterance
by word or aot to politioal or religious
sentiments, in acoord with, or opposed to,
the sentiments of any moiety of the com
munity. The Ribbonmen and their sym
pathizers erred in disturbing or even
threatening the procession. Whether or
not the anthorities erred in ordering the
the guards to fire indiscriminately upon
the mass of people in the streets of New
York, on Wednesday, further details arc

How much of importance attaches to
the demonstrations of the Orangemon in
a partisan point of view, time alone oan
disclose. A suspicion is ri/o in some
quarters that their demonstration in this
oountry is unoalled for, and a part of a
plot fonndod upon the known implaca
bility of the the hutred of tbe
Ribbonmen for them and the exoitability
of the Irishmen, to provoke mob
violence, that may be pointed to as an
exouse for reviving some of the features
of Know-Nothingism; and further, that
had not Gov. Hoffman allowed the
the Orangemen to appear in public pro
cession his opponents would have raised
a hue and ory against him for overriding
a sacred right of Amerioan citizens while
catering to the prejudices of the Ribbon

Nuw York, July 10, 1871.
Editor of The Sen: Your correspon
dent quotes your interrogatory “On wha*
issues we shall go into the fight 7” In
other words, but to the same effect, the
question is: “Shall the Federal Govern
ment become supreme over the States by
which it was created? Shall the Creature
become sovereign over the Creators. ”
History repeating itself” has become
a phrase of human experienoe, and most
frequently oocura in the life of every or
ganized body of people.
The Loyalists of Seventy-Six, in the
Revolution of the Colonies, went the
whole figure of Loyalty to tbe king and
Parliament of England. (See Lorenzo
Sabine’s Lives of the Loyalists of the Rev
olution—* large ootavo volume publish
ed iu Boston in 1817, where they are al
phabetically given.)
The Loyalists of the present era go the
whole figure of centralization of sover
eign prerogative in the Congress and
President at Washington, over all the
States, over the people of each aud all
the States. If there be any difference in
principle between the Loyalist Tories of
1776 and the Loyalist Tories of 1871 it is
not distinguishable in the politioal idio-
synoraeiee of the former and the latter.
If we look into the history of CHd Eng
land — the mother oountry of New
England—we see the Puritans triumphed
in establishing the absolute government
of an Oliver Cromwell, and the “ Long

Etiitom Sun: I resume thin morning,
the account of the commencement exer
cises at this place.
Thursday night was the annual concert,
at which those who delight in “the con
cord of sweet sounds,” enjoyed a rich
feast. The enjoyment was not the leas
intense in that the music proceeded from
the tiny fingers and rich voices of those
so well qualified to charm.
At intervals the brass baud of this place
enlivened the occasion and added martial
strains to the entertainment.
The music department is presided over
by Prof. Seals, so long and favorably
known to the public as a teacher of music.
Wednesday was commencement day.—
The following was the bill of fare pre
sented:
Miss Mattie T. Atkinson, West Point,
Ga.—“All things are not as they seem.”
Miss Petronia Davidson, Harris coun
ty, Ga.—“Respectable.”
Miss Alice Harrell,Coosa county, Ala.—
“Dive deep for pearls.”
Miss Anna Harrington, West Po ntl
Ga.—“Only.”
Miss Pink Holstnn, Chambers county,
Ala.—“Smiles, like kisses, have no con
stant value.'’
Miss Mattie O. Hutchinson, Harris
county, Ga.—“Charms strike the sight,
but merit wins the soul.”
Miss M iry Lou McIntosh, Chambers

Miss Mattie A. Hutchinson, Harris

Diplomas awarded—Annual Address,
by Prof. J. G. Orr, Atlanta, Go.
The compositions of the young ladies
were well written, and the reading, in the
main, very fine. The enunciation was,
in the most cases, remarkably clear and
distinct—the modulation, inflection and
emphasis, generally good.
Your correspondent cannot help think
ing that all of our Georgia female colle
ges are making a mistake in bringing
young girls out upon the stage to read
before large audiences. We do not wish
onr Southern women trained for the ros
tram. The rich, beautiful lustre of some
of our Southern fruit* is sadly marred by
one slight touch. Nature, iu this, gives
as a lesson. In tho judgment of the wri
ter, it would be far better to have the
pieces of the young ladies read by a gen
tleman.
At the close of the reading, the Presi
dent, Col. Mooty, awarded the diplomas,
delivering a well-coueeiv*»d, well writUn
baccalaureate, filled with valuable though s
and fatherly counsels.
The annual literary address was then
delivered by Prof. G. J. Orr, of Ogle
thorpe University. The subject was,
“Woman’s True Relations to Society.”
The speaker maintained that woman is
everywhere subordinate, in her relations
to society at large, to the family, to the
chnrch and to the State. Of the merits
and defects of this address it does not
beoome your present correspondent to
speak. He leaves that office to others.
I may add that I have been very well
pleased with my visit to West Point and
its young aud flourishing college. The
college was established it 1867. Its roll
now shows one hundred aud twenty-five
pupils in attendance. It is presided
over, aa has already been stated, by CoL
A. P. Mooty, who is assisted by a corps
of three other instructors. The Colonel
is a teacher by profession, having been
regularly engaged in the work since 1851,
save daring the war, when he felt it to be
his duty to face the “hoys iu blue,”
which, I am informed, he did galluntly
at the head of a Florida regiment, re
maining in the service till the conflict
ended. Like many others he has re
turned to the more peaceful and conge
nial pursuit of instructing tlie young. I
have no doubt, from what I have seen,
that he is the right man in the right
place.
I said, in my last communication, that
West Point was not, according to high
authorities, an orthodox point. It has
extension - no little of it—both longitu
dinally and latitudiually. Your corres
pondent was taken in charge by a much
esteemed former fem de pupil of his, at
the College yesterday, aud conveyed a
mile and a quarter, all the way through
the city, to dine at her pleasant, happy
home, and other valued friends have
served him the same way.
West Point, I say again, is not a point*
neither cau the hearts of her people “be
oonfined within the same narrow limits.”
The writer has substantial evidence that
the said hearts have extension, broad
and deep. This is further sl«'wn in the
