Department will never be disgraced by any

as the above.
It really seems that the Rads are pretty
L early played out in tins city. For some
weeks they proclaimed with noisy trumpet
tlourishes, a grand torch-light demonstra
tion that was to eclip.-e. in size and splendor,
the majestic “People's Parade’ 1 of the 29th
uit. Last Saturday night was the culmi
nating period tor the mountain’s labor,
when, lo! the promised “thousands of the
hone and sinew,” and all that, you know,
dwindled down to about two hundred de
graded wretches, who still had shame
enough to hide their faces as they slunk
through the streets, by keeping as far aspos
- &!e from the glare of the torches which,
were borne along by great gangs of ignorant
negroes who had been brought into the city
for the occasion. I’ve seen some, and
heard of many “mighty fizzles,” but truly
this last display of the “ last Radical” was
the biggest squirt of all. What makes it
worse, is that fully half the darkies who
marched with them, mean to vote with tlieir
old Democratic friends after all. Et tu ,
brute!
Seeing no editorial comments on the sub
ject, I feel bound to protest against one word
that appears in General Lee’s answer to
General liosencrans. It is a mistake to say
that the “almost unanimous judgment of
the Southern people" considers that the war
decided the question as to “the eight of a
State to seeede from the Union.” The word
“power,” or “ability,” or “permission,”
might, perhaps, have bee'll correct. But,
■to quote the Banner's own eloquent inau
gural, “The success of our cause has been
lost —notits right; for failure can never
make right wrong. * * * Battle-fields
may be the burial-places of men—never of
rights. * * * In the eyes of Justice
right is right forever—wrong is eternally
wrong—and trampled right is grander than
triumphant wrong. * * * The right
(.•four cause did not fall with Richmond.
* * * And, on that April day, when
Lee gave up his sword, bright and untar
nished as when lie first girded it on, he
yielded merely, and only, th ejjolicy of fur
ther resistance—not the principle which
had lifted that resistance into a right, and
sanctified it as a duty. * * * For us,
principle is principle, right is right—yes
terday—to-day—to-morrow —forever.—
Submission to might is not surrender of
rigid. We y ield to the one, but shall never
yield up the other!!” Now, these are what
1 hold to be the sentiments of all true men
of the South ; and it is hoped that General
Lee will hasten to correct the verbal inac
curacy alluded to; for he must know' that
every phrase of so important a corres
pondence will be critically analyzed by the
world, and hence, it should not be allowed
to retain one word of ambiguity, much less
of misrepresentation.

RADICAL BILLINGSGATE,
Chicago is a remarkable place. They
get up the biggest kind of frauds there,
the most llagrant immoralities, and the
most glaring specimens of scan, mag.)
hut their productions in the line of Radi
cal journalism take down all the others,
by long odds, for they can beat all crea
tion at Billingsgate and buffoonery. We
give below a sample from one of the daily
Republican organs of that virtuous
community:
From the Chicago Post, Sept. 9.
NIGGER, NIGGER, NIG !
" Bo you want your daughter to marry
a nigger ( was the question formerly
listed of the effectors of Illinois by every
Democratic candidate on the stump.
Nigger equality at the polls is the
ugn of nigger equality in the family,”
a ‘l the Democratic orators of the day.
" Allow the nigger to vote, and you
“ aTC b, : t “ political and social equality
everywhere,” cry all the Copperheads of
the North.
V i , ia , t a lio tliese assertions are—one
and all!
Political equality is one thing, social
equality ‘s another thing. .Political
lauy , s 01 the law. Social equality is
of the woman. The law says, come up.
-Madam says, stand back. v
Teddy O’Flaherty votes. He has not
been m the country six months. But he
bus been through Dan O'Hara's Court
Be is naturalized. Terence O’Manus
tor him that he had beeu five years
m the \ nited States; that he was a jin
ot ° ooa mora l character, and Dan
1 1 ai ' a kne 'v that he was a Democrat*
J ’- 1 so he was naturalized, of course.
He has hair on his teeth. He never
knew an hour in civilized society. He
never stepped on anything more solid
than a dirt floor all his life, until he
stood on the deck of an emigrant ship.
He is a born savage—as brutal a ruffian
as an untamed Indian of the North Ameri
can tribes. Os course, he can’t read. He
can’t write. All books to him are sealed.
He only believes in the Priest; and
the Priest is only little less a barbarian
than he. “BeJasus, Pm a Dimmecrat!”
is bis shibboleth. Breaking’ heads for
opinion’s sake is his practice. The born
criminal and pauper of the civilized world,
and withal the innocent victim of the
statecraft of England and the Priestcraft
of Rome—a wronged, abused, and pitiful
spectacle of a man capable of better
things, pushed straight tu hell by that
abomination against common sense called
the Catholic religion, and that outrage
upon political decency falsely known as
American Democracy - what else does he
know ? To compare him with an intelli
gent freedman, would be an insult to the
latter.
Do American women run after Teddy
O’l laherty ? Arc they in haste to marry
him ? Oh, father of a beautiful daughter,
are you afraid that she will break away
from your love and kindness and make
I eddy a companion? Yet, how much
less danger of her marrying a nigger!
The black man, if has been at all favored
by the chances that slavery afforded, is
the superior of Teddy in the things
which women value, but his color is
against him, and so Cuffy and Paddy are
equal—the first, having the most civiliza
tion ; the latter, being the whitest.
Now, marriage is not a thing of the
law, save and except as the law directs
how it shall be celebrated. If a decent
woman wants to marry Teddy O’Flaherty,
the law takes no cognizance of her low
desire. If she wants to marry a nigger,
the law is equally dumb. When, then,
you can point out to us that the race of
Americans is in danger of destruction by
the admixture of the O’Flaherty blood,
we shall be ready to believe that it is in
danger of deterioration by the admixture
of nigger blood. Putting color aside,
what is there to chose between Teddy
and Cully ?
The country has survived the Irish
emigration—the worst with which any
other country was ever inflicted. The
Irish fill our prisons, our poor-houses,
our reform schools, our hospitals, our elee
mosynary and reformatory institutions of
all sorts. Scratch a convict or a pauper,
and the chances are that you tickle the
skin of an Irish Catholic at the same
time—an Irish Catholic made a criminal
or a pauper by the Priest and politician
who have deceived him and kept him in
ignorance, in a word, a savage, as he was
born. He has not, thus far, deteriora
ted the American blood. Why, then,
fear that with these obstacles of race and
color in the way, the nigger will accom
plish that in which the Irish have failed.
Bah! This appeal to the fear of the
populace that we must have a care lest
this couutry, “ like Mexieo,” be ruined by
a mixed race, is only the gabble of ras
cals who want to perpetrate injustice
under cover of a popular prejudice.
Mexico was not so ruined either. The
Priests, Bishops, Monks, Nuns, operating
upon the Catholic laity, did the job for
that unhappy Republic. Justus Catho
licism, which is despotism, goes out,
Mexico rises.
“The danger of miscegenation, white
with black, is, then, as remote as that
Teddy O'Flaherty will succeed in making
his way, by marriage, into the American
families, by whom he is abhorred. We
have been acquainted with Teddy a long
time. He has dug numberless canals,
made many railroads, fought many a
fight, voted the Dimmecratic ticket, been
in many a jail and pauper bouse, and he
has all the while been Priest-ridden. The
fat, sleek, rosy-gilled liars and scoun
drels, (consciously such,) who have beeu
about him, have kept him iu ignorance,
robbed him of his pence, and given him,
after many sprinklings of holy water,
what they call passports to Heaven; but
he is Teddy O’Flaherty yet; and, if he
were disposed to marry, there’s Bridget
—Budget only. Miscegenation is not
for him.
“There is not a Democrat who would
not boil over with rage, if we should tell
him that Cuff’ee could accomplish that in
which Teddy failed. Let us dismiss,
then, the question of the degeneration of
the blood, as one that is unworthy of our
notice—as one of those side issues that
the Copperheads and man-sellers have
raised, to obscure the merits of the issue
before the people.
“When, after both Teddy and Cuffee
are civilized, they want to marry white
women, and the white women are willing,
we should like to see the law that would
prevent them. But, the truth is, that,
with civilization will come that dislike to
mixture of blood, which white and black
alike maintain. They . are barbarians,
like the old nigger drivers of the South,
or the Democracy of the Five Points,
who commingle the two streams, white
and Flack.”
The Irish American adds :
. We believe, in the worst period of the
fjenzy of Know Nothingism, a fouler
tirade of abuse, than the foregoing never
found its way into print. The miserable
hound who indicted it, and the equally
wretched idiots who gave it circulation,
forget how short a time it is since they
were yelling with delight, around Mulli
gan and his “Teddy O’Flaherties,” who,
in the Southwest, stood between them
and the victorious march of the Confed
erates, even as Meagher, and Corcoran
and Shields, with their Irish legions,
checked their advance at the North, while
Massachusetts could not find enough of
her own sons, with pluck or patriotism
sufficient to recruit her ranks, and had
to send out her agents to buy, steal, or
kidnap, the Southern negroes, who, by
special favor at Washington, were allowed
to be counted as her quota. “Deterior
ate the American blood,” indeed! Does
this foul-minded scribbler imagine that
the world is as stupid, and short of mem
ory, as he shows himself to be, or that
people do not recollect the declaration of
the Massachusetts Commission, on the
medical statistics of the census, which
showed that the native population of New
England had become so deteriorated from
vice and money-grubbing, that, in two or
three generations, the race would vanish
from the earth, if it had not been for the
admixture of new, healthy blood, brought
into the country by the foreign-born emi
grauts ? Or does this canting hypocrite
forget, that, when the State of Rhode
Island instituted a similar investigation,
the revelations they made were of so hor
rifying a nature that they had to be sup
pressed, and the Commission abolished,
lest the civilized world should get hold of
them, and cry out against the cant and
humbug which made New Eugland a
whited sepulchre ?
The Republicans complain that the
Irish are antagonistic to them, and will
not even examine into their principles ;
but while, their organs indulge in such
language, as we have quoted above, they
can expect nothing but hostility from ail
who have either the blood or the feelings
of Manhoo'd in, them. The party that
could tolerate such a rag as this Chicago
Post, as their mouth-piece, would give us
neither friendship nor fair play, if they had
the power, as they evidently have the
will, to crush us, out of sheer bigotry,
and fanatical hate.
Father Ryan.— This distinguished
Poet and eloquent Divine preached at
the Cathedral Church of St. John the
Baptist, at the late Mass, yesterday
morning, and, also, at the Vespers, at
7-4 o’clock, in the evening.
In the morning, he took for his text
the last sentence of the seventeenth verse
of the eighteenth chapter of the Gospel,
according to St. Matthew, which reads as
follows : “And if he will not hear the
Church, let him be to thee as the heathen
and the publican.”
lie also read the context, as follows :
“But, it thy brother offend against thee,
go and rebuke him betweeen thee and
him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou
shalt gain thy brother.
“And if he will not hear thee, take
with thee one or two more, that, in the
mouth of two or three witnesses, every
word may stand.
“And if lie will not hear them, tell the
Church.”
'He then drew the following* inferences
from the text, which he supported with his
usual eloquence and ability :
1. That the injunction to “hear the
Church" was just as binding* now as
when first given by our Saviour, eighteen
hundred years ago.
2. That the Church to which the offence
was to be told, and which the offender
was bound to hear, under the penalty of
being treated as a “heathen and a publi
can," was established by the Saviour of
the world.
3. That it was a visible Church, other
wise it could not be told of the offence, or
make known to the brethren its decision
upon the guilt or innocence of the brother
charged with the offence.
4. That the decisions of this Church
must be infallibly correct, otherwise they
would not be binding upon the con
sciences of the brethren, and, moreover,
the promise of our Saviour to be with
His Church, and to lead it into all truth
to the end of time, would fail.
5. That this Church must be one , and
have spiritual jurisdiction over the whole
world, and endure to the end of time;
otherwise it would be impossible to
enforce or obey the injunction to “hear
the Church” in all places and at all
times.
It having become generally known that
Father Ryan was in the city, and would
preach at Vespers, a very large congre
gation, filling the Church to its utmost
capacity, assembled to hear him.
I pon the conclusion of the Vespers,
which were sung with fine effect by the
choir, the Reverend Father advanced to
the communion rail (he seldom oced|pies
the pulpit), and again read the same pas
sages which he read in the morning, and
resumed the consideration of the subject
of the infallibility of the Church, and
claimed that the official judgment of the
Church is superior to the private judg
ment of any man, or set of men, and that
it is clothed with power to teach, with in
fallible authority, for all time, and, there
fore, “he that will not hear the Church,
let him be to thee as a heathen and a
publican.”
The speaker then proceeded to main
lam and defend the doctrine of infalli
bility, in one of the most eloquent and
logical arguments t© which it has ever
been our privilege to listen. —Savannah
