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 soever dispersed over the globe, catch tlpopfh Jtradii^t^a uispiri^iuii of hatred for. the opposite faction which neither reason nor time succeeds in so repressing^# toj>reytmt vf^ 8 ’ 01111 ' 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 le*#. m to the means he uses to ac- 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 Htatos,in this our day,-it cannot prop erly form an element, of partisan warfare. This is an age, and ours is a country in which religions tolerance is the or der qf the Itay.

Victoria, and hef hr- 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. tend «p>n tltsir newly acquired poasee- II is not in human nature to endure soeh m unwine policy as that adopted by William of Orange, towards bis Irish subjects Southern people, prudent and humans, is by education and habit they ate in oar enlightened day, would Dot have peanaahly endured it; nor would the public sentiment of mankind have de manded of them to have done so. Mooh as the lew-abiding men must de precate the violence of the Ribbon men in New York towards a few audacious and misguided Orangemen, who propose by oelebrating the anniversary of the Bat tle of the Boyne on the soil of free Ameri- to keep in memory an event that datea the inauguration of William's op pressive policy towards hie vanquished Irish subjects, it is due to the truth to say that our protestant people are too enlightened and too much in sympathy with the oppreesed of all nations, to ad mire their teste or to deeply sympathize with them in their demonstrations, al though every member of their organiza tion may be Protestants. Protestant America dose not propose to oppress Irish Ostholios ss Protestant England has done.

Wlflant hT Ohutga,»n RaglisAatiimls ol IV; 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. To bring the case home to the people “ j of the conquored_8outh; considering bow ' much the mistaken and oppressive polioy flscated the lands of the vwamsis ledjffj j^e party has irritated and Irish lords and gentry wko. tad ad-fcrcvoki d the Southern people, suppose hered to the fortune* of J&mes.^hat our conquerors had carried out la 11 and English followers, and esttib-' I'd over the lauds of these who had ss 1 in^ni Mu v ml zrf.- EuglaigW'Jver I l«““d th* “Is* Cease” to Federal.sol 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 of ignorant negroes, is preposterous and tyill not long be tolerated by a majority of the white voters in any commonwealth <*”WT 1. /inblan's Sana iron Works. “ PHCaoon domes to Atlanta Again! ” suffer ourselves to be deprived of th* right of self-government in the States 1 Are we doomed to have the sovereignty of our several Slates taken away from os by a Radical President, and a long Con gress elected by Tory partizanship.

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 neoessaty to enable us to determine. Let Protestants and Catholios of every degree have aoare that the riots, whieli have called forth this article, do not un duly exoite them in referenoo to their reapeotive religious views, and arouse a feeling of religious intolerance that is unbecoming Americana 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 men. In this day whon "Now Departures" are so rife, the brains of political triok- aters are bogy in oonoootiug schemes of aggrandisement, and it is “the prioe of liberty” to watch them. day. It is a matter that must sooner or later be determined. The Democrats are right on the reoord and should maintain their position. No sensible man oonn sels violent resistance to the so-called amendments. Submission, under pro test, is equivalent to a declaration that as soon as this fraudulent Radical legisla tion cau be lawfully declared null and void that it will so be done. To deny that such is the intention of the Demo cratic party os soon aa it regains power, would be a lie and a cheat Tbe Demo crats cannot^ afford to adopt ttie rascally irdi devices of Radicals in order to regain their power.

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 Parliament,” and in the event of the suc- eeas of the Repnblioan party iu the elec tion of 1874, shall we not have a eemwl i fact, that th u^h tatsmi' “• - petted to pay tithe, to rapport thelP» W T! - !“!

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 county, Ala.—“From Shore to shore.” Miss Mattie A. Hutchinson, Harris county, Ga.—“Almost.” Miss M. O. Reeves, Harris county, Ga. —“Southern females, their past and present. ” Miss Sally Sheppard, West Point, Ga.— “Our fourth anniversary.” Miss Lizzie Slaughter, West Point, Ga. -“To-morrow. ” Miss Mary J. Whitaker, West Point, Gft.—“Cloudsand sunshine.” 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.
