It is to he hoped that your Youth’s Department will never be disgraced by any ♦ping quite so rough i n matter and manner 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. Southern Radical. From the N. Y. Irish American, Sept. 9th. 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 Republican , Sept. 21 st.
