The military are out, but at present there appears to be no need of their services. Avaver 8, 1855. This morning the Journal states that the recent vio lence was altogether disconnected with the election, ‘and was certainly premeditated, It is ulso informed that the Catholic Irish in the vicinity of Quinn's house, in the Fighth ward, contemplated an attack upon the Amoriean precession last Saturday night, but were deterred by the immenso number compoxing it.

OPINIONS OF OUR CITY COTEMPORARIES. {From the Journal of Commerce } * * * * ea Pitiable is the lot of most foreigners that land on our shores, They emerge suddenly trom subjection to ty- rannical rule, and habits of slavery that generations have stereotyped into that paradise of the deprave! and un- hrifty, the, possosaion of active political rights. The story ix familiar to one of the Irishman who, after regurding for some time with wonter a threshing machine, cried out, “Ye're bloody sthrong, but ye ’t vote.” The Trish, alas, can vote; so can the mans, and between them they are acqulsing, in the hands of demagogues more iniquitous than them: selves, « control of elections iu many of our States, of which it is time that Americans should Be Wavrted and ashamed. Eight months ago the subject of amending our naturalization lawa was brouglt before Congress, by Senator Adams, of Mississippi. Reference was mate at the time, in our columns, to the able speech which he made on that oceasion, und hopes were entertained that the measure he proposed would be dispassionately dis- cussed, and, with some necessary amendments, adopted by Congress. It fell, however, to the ground. Politicians ave afraid to meet boldly, either in Congress or the State Legislatures, the embarrassmenta which this question, so important for the future interests of the country, pre- rents, ‘They dread the local opposition which advocacy of manly and patriotic measures of reforra woul aubject them to, and shrink from being ostracised by foreigners, whose opposition at the polls might prevent their re-c tion to office, The wistom of the proposal that the term of residence of aliens should be prolonged, before they are permitted to enj Americans born, ix recognized Wy mericans of all parties; but this cowardly fear of losing votes, on the part of aspirants for office, opposes more than anything else an effectual obstacle to proper legislation. The intis- creet_ manner, too, in which foreigners have been con- founded by many with the power they wield, and the in- termingling of religious elements in all native American rties that have hitherto existed, have tenled to delay if not totally hinder, an impartial examination of t question what righta it is expedient to bestow upon per- sons born abroad. 1t ix the duty of the people and government of the United States to welcome to our shores those who come here with a claim upon our hospitality, and to the home for themselves and education for their children, which we can 80 easily afford to bestow, It ix also a bounlen obligation to act towards them the part of kind protec- tors, shielding.them by our laws, peraittiog them to hold property and to transier it to their children, and even to acquire such control over the soil ax they can secure by the labor of their hands. These privileges, howeve which the immigrant has a right to ‘look fi and which our laws theoretically give, are poisoned and rendered practically nugatory by the premature addition, indiscriminately, of the right of suffrage. ‘She poor Srishman or German encounters, as he lands in aur sea ports, a monster who 1s legally authorized to obstruct with a frequently impassable barrier his path. way to the happy home to which he is entitled, and where he might enjoy abundantly the products of the soil, and become a frugal, sober and industrious denizen ofthe land. ‘This monster is political temptation. The hard-handed, humbl. Jitioned Irish laborer, ax well as the clodhopper socialist from Germany, both siak into corruption by our own fault, more than by theirs, They are at onee instructed that they may vote in six months. a year, or less, if fraud is employed to attain the object. ‘Mhey are taught to consider themselves an army of political invaders, are enlisted either in infidel associa- tions, or under the banners of the ram-selling middle- n, and made to reinforce the vast floating eondotti ies, which often at elections turns the seales in favor of the highest bidder or the latest payer, a wrests pledges from candidates in fivor of intidel en- croachments, or impunity to do wrong.

Every little while some solemn warning, like the recent riot at Louisville, troubles the minds of thinking men, and points forward to that period of civil discord by whieh we may some day nvalsed, if a remedy is not applied to the evil created by our present naturalization laws; but unfortunately the age is too peculiarly one of excitement for any single event to leave a lasting impres- sion. Yet if citizens will look buck twenty-five years, to a time when disorders that are common now were re- garded as impossible, and will then reflect upon the con- sequences of a like decline for another quarter of a cen- tury, they will be winced of the danger of delay, and of the toe rig dl and strength that anti-American influcace is acquiring in the country. [From the Tribune.} We have by telegraph a tolerably connected account of a dreadfu) riot in Louisville. AUthe despatches appear to come from persons who sympathies strongly with the Know Nothings, and what, with the diffloulty of getting correct statements amid such confusion, and the procli- vity of the wires to tell large stories, we presume all our despatches will be modified, and rome of them flatly contra- dicted, when the truth comes out. From what we have, it seem that some drunken or atherwise reckles# men, said to be Irish or Germans, fired at a carriage containing two Americans, one of whom was wounded. A policeman and two citizens interfered, and they also were fired at and wounded, A crowd assembled, sacked the house whence the shots were fired, and beat two of the Germans found in italmost to death, Other houses were sacked, a brewery burned, a great number of foreigners terribly beaten, and one Irishman shot so that "he died a few hours afterward. In consequence of a slight injury to an American, - ashot froma street near the barning brewery, the Irishman who was said to have fired it was captured, beaten and then killed by a shot. It was pro- posed to sack the Catholic cathedral, but the Mayor per- suaded the crowd t There was now a cessation, and the Americans were about which they had dragged about there came rumors of more firing f) another quarter, ‘The first step was Irishman charged with shooting an American, Meanwhile, the firing continuing, the crowd at- tacked the Irish houses, set them on fire and killed a number of the inmates, besides burning to death many others.

Our latest despatch last night «tated that two companies of armed voluntecrs were marching to the seene of the house burning, and more trouble was feared.

Until we receive more particular accounts of this shoek- ing affray it will be tnsposatble to form any correct opin jon of the relative guilt of the two parties.

Remember, that at Louisville ‘it was a foreigner that fired the first gun!” Who that particular foreigner was—ar who his counrellors and advisers—remain to be seen. Remember, that (we quote now the telegraphic statement) while the election was quietly going on, an American was insulted, stabbed, and beaten, until it was supposed he was dead, by « party of Irishmen.” in —'In the afternoon, ‘three Americans were fired upon, while quietly passing a German brewery.” One of these was “a gentleman accompanied by his wife.” “Shot and bullets came from the windows of the German houses in ehowers.”’ “The foreigners seen in the whole vicinity were armed, and attempted the indiscriminate slaughter of the Americans!’ Yet, we are told, that for all these murderous assaults, only’ Americana are to blaine! In Kentucky, as well as in this State, and throughout whole Union, for that matter, there have not been want- ing demagoguer—American born demagogues, we mean— to stimulate the Irish to outrages of this character for purpees purely selfish and mercenary; but the most ig- norant of this class of foreigners by this time should be sufliciently intelligent to discern the dangerous uses to which these unprineipled tricksters are willlng to put them, simply that they may ride into pul alice, over their bucks. \ The Courier and Enquirer, and Sun, have beld over a day to cogitate upon the subject, OPINIONS OF THE GERMAN PRESS.
