HP, THE COUNTY WEXFORD SPEAKS. New York, July 11, 1871. ‘To THE EprTor oF THE HERALD:— As an old subscriber of your valued paper, I wish to say afew words on the proposed Orangemen’s parade, owing to the cioud of misrepresentation which, [ Und, ts allowed to rest upon the case as it now stands, There aro a great number of reasons why this parade of alot of frothing fanatics should be put down by the strong hand of the law. I shall give some of them:— Firsi—Because these Orangemen are not citizens of the United states, and can never be, as ther secret oath—which they are caieful not to allow to be publ: shed—forbids tiem to owe allegiance to any monarch, power or State but the power which rules the English pation. Secona—Because they are not Christians, although they carry the bible, as a vile swindie and pretence, at the head of their ranks, The Bible is a boox of love, charity and Christian forglveness—that is its teaching. These bad men do not. foliow the Uhris- tuan religion nor the Bible, Third -Yhey are but a handfal among our gallant Trish race scattered all over the world and through the means of sach very fellows as those who Wish to parade, the entire nation is disgraced. Fourth—Beoause these mea crowded the office of the British Consul, 15 Broadway, during the timo of the draft and made every effort to claim sritiah protection, which they received, This 15 reasonable enough in a born Kaxlisnman, who certainly has reason to ve proud of his country and fag. For an Irishman to do so, it is the crime of a Benedict Arnold. F fth—Because the Irishmen who compose the Ancient Order of Libernians were fighting for “tie Stars and Stripes,” although many of them were poor and had Lo leave their families to do 80, wile the others were seeking to desiroy the freedom and liberty which they now invoke. ‘Their idea of liberty 18 to have iiberty to insult, annoy and enrage their leliow countrymen. Sixth—Because there 18 @ law on the statutes of the State of New York which forbids them to parade, and they seek to evade it by changing their aie. sSeventh—Because the American people have been misled into believing that the Hibermians oppose them on religious grounds, when such 1s not te case. Hibernians object to them because they helped Engiand tw enslave Ireland, and acted as the Cowboys, Skinners and Tories ‘of the Revolu- tion—and these Orangemen deserve the same in- famy and execration wherever they are, Evjhth—because the very English government which they have sworn to protect will nave noting to do with them, and has had to pass laws in the House of Parliament to put them down tn their career of outrage, arson and massacre. Ninth—Because the Prince ot Wales himself had ron away from tiem in Canada, and told their Grand Master that he abuorred their works, deeds and principles. Tenth. Because the whole business 1s a vile repub- lcan election trick. Eleventh—Because no class of foreigners in this country should be allowed to tnsult, annoy and out- Tage the feclings of another class by party proces- sions and party tunes. Tw-ifth—Because those Protestant fellow country- men, Thomas Davis, Jon Mitchell, Henry Martin, Theobald Wolfe Tone, glorious Robert Emmet and the brothers Sheares, Archibald Hamilton Rowaa and others equally stanch im the Protestant faith have looked upon them as miscreants and scoun- drels and believed that they should meet the fate of reptiles, And, finally, let them be tested if they should march agatust the ord-r of Superintendent James J, Keiso, who represents the lawiully constituted au- thorities of this city, and who has had hundreds of respectable citizens to Call on nim to thank him for his course. Let a large box be placed at the Washington Monament, in Union square, aud let each Urange- man who marches in their ranks place on a card his name, occupauon and whetner he 1s @ citizen of the United States, and drop it into the box. I venture tosay that not many cards of citizenship will be placed tn that box. A WEXFORD MAN, of the town of Newtownbarry. THE VOICE OF GERMAN CITIZENS. To THe EprroR OF THE HERALD Referring to your worthy paper, which so clearly and independently stands here for the rights of clti- zens and peoples from all parts of the globe, that each one has a perfect rignt to celebrate days or oc- currences in the United States, and espectally in New York, which are sacred to them, any way they like, so long as they don’t interfere with our laws, and as we think the same, therefore we the undersigned German citizens of New York, request you herewith respectfully to call, through your paper, Mayor Hali’s and Superintendent of Police Kelso’s atten- tion that, in giving orders regarding tne Orange socteties’ parade on the 12th of July in not having the right to turn out, a3 above gentiemen think— fearing that our Irish Catholic citiZens, who nate the Orangemen deadly, will do their aimost to stop ther procession, and that there wili arise great troubie and disturbances—that tt is no more than right that the Orangemen should be allowed to turn out and have protection. the olic Irishmen are allowed to turn out on St. Patrick’s day, why can’t the Orangemen have their day in memory of the Battle of boyne? That's hot more than public rights to each one, Ir our city authorities can’t enforce order on this day with our Metropolitan police force let the National Guard be called out, and especially the German regiments, who will insist on enforcing order on this day from every one. If Mr. Kelso should prefer not to allow the Orangemen to have their procession, every right-thinking American citizen will be sorry that our civil rights are thus jeopardized. Re- spectfully, H.

Oakey Hall, Mayor of the city of New York, addressed to Jonn J. Bond, Esq., G. M.L. 0. Y., the substance of which referred to the celebracion proposed by the Society of Orangemen to take place on the 12th Inst. ‘This letter by the Mayor to Mr. Bond strikes the writer, 45 Well as others Whom he has heard speaking of it, as Seoaen is oe weakness as well as narrowness of thought. To use his own words, “You propose to celebrate by a great procession and public ptenic the tory achieved in 1600 by William I11., one King of England, over James Il, another King; and again, he says, “Your proposed celebration appears to be nanecessary.” And it certainle seems at frat AY, JULY giance to be ir that a foreign event, occurring nearly two hundred years ago, and with which American citizens cannot actively sympathize, shoul become on our soll the subject tor extensive commemoration.” Mr. Editor, can it be possible that American citizens do not sympa- tize with the at English revolution of 1684t— the Battle of the Boyne of July 1, 1690, being the crowning point of that great revolution, Was the Whole substance of that revolution simply a battie between two ih kings?

To THE EpiTor OF THE HERALD:— Permit me to iutrude upon you with a few lines regarding the order of Superintendent Kelso pro- hibiting the parade of the Orangemen, I am a mer- chant, @ life-long democrat and a constant reader of your paper. With shame and indignation I read this order prohibiting @ body of men to parade our streets. Has it come to pass in thisiree country that one set of religious fanatics may overawe another and turn our streets into battlcfields? Is our police not strong enough to protect all citizens tn their rights? of must we submit to imported fanatics to force upon us thetr creed, with wach, pernaps, we Gon’ t sympathize, or even go so far as to induce our worthy Chief of Ponce to issue this order ana our learned Mayor to endorse it, and by this acknow- ledging, favoring and turnicg over our rights ag American citizens to a set of reitgious fanatics ? Same, shame upon usi If it has come to tnis, if free America will not protect her citizens any longer, | hand us over to mob rue, and this ereat and proud city, With Hs million of citizens, must meekly bend its free head to a set of priestridden fanatics, I belong to neither of those parties, but like justice doue to all, ‘This time the edict of pronibition has been against the -parade of t..e Protestant Orange- Men because it was distasteful to our Catholic Ish citizens, Tue next edict may be issued against any set of men which forsooth may be distastetal to that same ciass, and, finally, any person who does not believe as they do may not be permitted to reside in Irish New York city. For freedom of conscience the founders of this great republic fought and bied; is our sacred mberitance, and by all means in our power should be protected, and no such narrow-minded views as these, better snited to past centuries, when Popery was supreme, should be tolerated.

Why have not the Orangemen @ right to parade as well as the Catholics? Have the Catholics ever been disturbed in their parades’ No, Would it not have been wiser ifthe Mayor had ordered out the military to protect the Orangemen?

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS, What the New York Morning ond Evening Papers of Yesterday Say About the Order of Superintendent Kelso, From tho Tribune. THE SURRENDER TO THE MOB, The General Order ot the Chief of Police, pub- shed In the frtoune this morning, 1s evidently writ- ven by higher authority, and only signed by Mr. Keiso, The mob and ity friends have ordered our amiable Mayor to put dowa the purade of the Orangemen, and he has cousented 10 this rounda- bout way. He furnishes the rhetoric, aud the Chief of Police has probably hitile to do but to sign his name. Mr. Hail is not a gentleman who imdulges much In remorse, and may escape it for bis share ia this day's miserabie busthess. But air, Keiso has done 80 many pratsewortuy things in bis adminis- tration that We are sure be wili deeply regret bay- log agreed vo this surrender of an anticipated riot. The greatest city of the repubiic is on Ms Koees to a few thousand disorderly for- eigners, The lesson of lots has evideniiy been lost on them, and they have now guined a deplorable victory lufinitely ors} 1n its eltects on the public peace and security than a riot wouid have been, Seouer or later the riot would have veen quelled and the authority of the Jaw establisned, in spite of the ominous 1act that our police, our Mayor aud our Goveraor have more respect tor the mob than they have for the law. But, as it bs, by a Lite cursing and drilling, by open tareats aud swagger, the members of the riotous organtzauous have gained their poiut with no expenditure of blood or thuscie, Lhe Muyor and the Chiel of Police have Saved the rowdies the trouble of breaking the law by doing it theuseives. We iuust not be misunderstood, We have no syinpatay Whatever Wilh Luc purpose of the Urange- Meu's parade. It seems to us not Lhe part of Wis dom nor propriety tur natives vi toreign couutries, Who have come here to better their condition and become patriotic citizens of the repubuc, to bang on so Implacably Lo the oid hates and jealousies aud animosives of their former hone, Tuese people aud ther enemies alike prevend to be Americans; et their anual wraugle aud syuabnle proves they ave Lo udequate conception of the privileges and duties of citizenship. What does it imaiter to citl- zeus “(the United States. which side waipped in a day vu. 21vil War, LwWo centuries ago, on tie Dauks OL ey Hans river? The whole quarrel is pitiul and noble, But that does not affect the question of the duty of the city authorties to preserve peace om Lhe day of the parade, The Orange parade, unuecessury aud lil-advised as 1 1s, fs not ad excepuoual occurrence. it is as much entived to protection as tie recent German parade, the French Fair, and 1s i.uck more Clearly # legal mauiiesutlon tuan the various Fenian dispiays we have 80 oflen witnessed, Every ove Of Wiese dewonstralluns exeited, of course, very bitter feetings aud reflectious awong those who opposed the cause hey celeurated.

We can Imagine tie sort of Couuteuance our Mayor would have presented to a deiegation of Frenchinen who shouid have proposed tO him to prohivit tue Ger- mau parade, out of regard to their uational suscep. libluiies. Yet he Nas done & meaner uud more un- lawiul thing in this case. He has arbitraciy forced &@ body 0. cllizens Lo give up @ peaceavie aud iawful Manuilestahon at the bidding of a haudiul of riotous brawlers, Who threaten murder and dis- order if tucir barbarous lancics are wot complied with. The only reason which could have dictited Uns shameiul action is that the lawbreakers of Wednesday are more numerous and valuable Voting stock than those they propose to attack. ‘Lae last, and not the least, OL the evils we have suffered from saat corrupt ring, which 1s a nursery of crimes and shames, is Us eniorced surrender oi the honor and fair name of the city to w brutal mob, wuich how has no check upon 1s arrogance and 18 greed.

Nothing 18 settled by it, The Orangemek are of course made bitter and sulienly resentful. Their enemies are reudered insufferable with arrogant triumph, They feel wemselves masters of the pusi- tion without a blow, the very citadel of public order having been basely given up by the ciiy government Without wp etlort made tor 1s delence. Nothing 13 decided by tis unhappy paper—so cringing to Vv! lence and 80 insolent to Jaw-aviding ciuzens— nothing but the iact that Tammany will extend its broad agis to any criminals or law-breakers Who can be of service to Tammuny. From tho Standard. A REMARKABLE ORDER, We do not think there ever was a more humiliating general order issued by our municipal authorities then the one we print tis morning from Superin- tendeut Keiso to his captains. Itis humiliating to ali law-abiding citizens, because it Aeciares that the police of this city are at the mercy of a set of law- less men, Who are as much outside the pale of any charen as they are of decent society. {tis nuuil- lating, too, ‘we have no doubt, to Superin- tendent Kelso himself. We pelieve him to be individually @ Courageous man, who would, if allowed, proiect the public peace and vindicate the rights of ail citizens to do an orderly and legal act. But we recognize in his peremptory order the same architect who wrote the letter to Mr, Bond, also published this moruing. We mean Mayor Hall. We contess we are disappointed in the Mayor. The resolution he showed m drawing up the Metropoilian Police law and in heiping to carry 1t into effect at the tine Fernando Wood's ruman: under the designation of police, had the lives an property of our citizens at their mercy, has forsaken hima. We find no fault with the Mayor writing to Mr. Bond, simply advising Orangeinen to desiat irom parading. Shorn of its one-sided statements and insinuations to curry favor with a powerful partisan faction, the advice in_ his letter might be foilowed with profit. but Mr. Hall is really the head, under the amended charter, of the police of this city. His advice is taken tn the Police Board before that of any other man. He hes dictated the order to which Mr. Kelso's name 1s signed—an order which, im the light of the past, 1s unfair and pot manly—wn order that, we venture to say, Wil not find a parallel when au organization antagonisile to Orangelsm proposes a celebration. The Standard, as our readers well know, endorses neither Orange nor any other ism or party that re- vives the teads of foreign lauds or makes us forg et we are citizens of the United Siates, Love of the country of our birth is well enough, but when we become American citizens we are supposed to or should at jeast feel that we have enough to celebrate in the present and care enough for the future to deter us from reviving animosities or customs that are repuznant to classes and make us forget our duty to the country of our adopuon. If jubilees of citizens of one nationality over their fallen foes—if celebrations of the p.rthdays of saints for whom large classes have no veneration—i the commemorauon of victories of one religious faction over another were all prohipited, the great mass of the peopie would not as a matter of fact object. But when one party ts allowed to do as it pleases in a peaceahie mauner we claim the sane right for the opposite party, and under our laws no one has a right to deny tt to them, ‘the Orangemen paraded last year, and while quietiy ee 3 themselves, in the company of their wives and chitdren, were set upon by auang of la- borers at work for the city and many killed, their wives inaitreated and their little enes trampled upon. It was an organized cold-blooded massacre, without excuse or justification, ‘the police at the ume were relieved from a great deal of censure by pleading that they nad no foreknowleuge of and a Ucipated no trouble. They ciaimed they could have suppressed it if they had an admonition. The poiice could plead no sacl excuse this time, The Orange- men gave due notice of a procession on Wednesaay next and were careful to state that they would not carry banners nor piay airs repugnant to our Catholic fellow citizens, They even announced that they would ‘ch on such streets as Broadway and Fift! avenue, where they would be tree from thickly setuied neighborhoods of thoughtless men and women. ‘The protection claimed for them has been denied by the police oificiais, who, not satisfied With proving their own inefficiency, make a gra- tuitous sucer at the military. Our Catholic citizens have been allowed their parates and jubilees.. ‘They bad St. Patrick’s Day. Then came thelr demon- stration’ against ttatian Unity and in favor of the temporal power of the Pope, and more recently the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the reign of Pope Pius. All of these were more or less obnoxiwna to our Protestant citizens, but not & murmur of dissent was heard; and yet these people say they will not allow the Orangemen the priviloge they themscives enjoyed, and our Mayor quietly submits. This 18 all wrong, and we fear will tend to perpetuate feuds which we had hoped would in time die out. This parade of the Orangemen should have 1 allowed, #o that the rights of a varty of Deaccable citizens should be preserved. Tne Catholic elergy, whtle condemning the principle of suca ao, as heartily as we do, unanimously ol that tt should be allowed to proceed quietly. Prominent Fenlan officers and exiled Irishmen took the samo Aparty, however, as brutal in their in- stincts as they are vigoted in thelr pu sald 16 should not be permitted, and if it was they would murder those who partctpated. ‘The auihorities have submitted to the threats of these men, This Was not the way General Butier treated similar law- less men in this city during the dra‘t riots, Mayor Hall should have borrowed a lesson from the Gene- ral’s history. John A. Kennedy would not made the excuse that the parade would necessitate the calling off of policemen fro:n portions of the city needing protection. Superintendent Kelso made no such apology wnen he Pag seven elguths of os force in front of the City Hall a few months ago that the Mayor might compliment their ne appear. ance, Much as we re; it, we cannot help saying that this action of Mayor Hall and his savisers was prompied more to conciliate powerful political faction at the expense of humiliating the police than by anything else. Although the authorities say that the police and military vould not see that the laws were obeyed, the people of the city will think otherwise, aud the people of the country will also have the impression that It will not be wise to give the great trust of the management of the general government tothe hands of men who are 80 par- boone and inefficient in the small trust now cenfded to them. 5 From the Times. ROMAN CATHOLIC TERRORISM. The city authorities find their masters too much forthem. ‘They dare not disobey tue commands of the Lrish Catholics. So it 1s now oiliclally announced that the Orange procession is prohivited. in other words, it la setuied as a rule that whenever the Cajhoncs object to a procession that procession shall not be allowed toappear. “It is given out,” says Superintendent Kelso 1a his circular, “tuat armed preparatious for defence have beeu made vy the members of the parading lodges. Now what has been given ousis thut armed preparations lor attack have ocea made. The poor Orangemen were in the Position of the Iamb in the fable of the “Wolf and the Lamb,” aud Mr. Kelso attributes to inem (he de- sign of the wolf, Mr. Kelso coademns street pro- cessions generally, Surely 1 is rather late in the day to do that. Why was ot his cir. ular issued on St. Patrick s Duy? Why 1s it that [righ Catholic pro- céssions are never interiered with? ‘Tne reasun has aiways Leen plain, and it is now plainer than ever, ‘Lhe city autnorities are atraid of their own supporters.

The postiion taken up by the Catholics in relation to the Orange procession had, in truth, alarmed and uiszustet even their Warmest (riends, The HBRALD, in an articie Which was very creditable to 1t, de- nounced the tntolerauce of a class toward which 16 | 1s generally very lenient, and warned the city autno- rities Chat they Will soon lose tieir power in this city Af the tureatened Interierence with the Uran,e- men Were allowed to take place. It admutied that last year tue ‘rotcstants were attacked poy “ruMans” who Were “employed vy the city govern- Meat ou the uew boulevards aad other streets.” ‘The priesthood also saw (he dungers oO: the threatened Inassacre, and urged their congreg ‘tious DOL to Ine terfere with the Orange procession, — Arch- bishop McCloskey exhorted bls flock — to vinake no counter demonstration of any kiad. He referred with biterness to the Orangemen, and spoke of their procession as ine tended to be a ‘trap’? for the Gatholics, This theory is both unjust oud abst, Tye Tish Provestants did not study tue Oatiolics In their annual holiday one Way or the other; ail they waulod was tobe let alone, Their procession would lave excited com- baer ively little interest or atteation if the Uatholics had poet taken up so outrageous an attitude in re- gard % it, That was the secret of all this excite. Ment, What occasioned the disturvauce was the fact that Catholics cae out and said ;—“Protestants as a body i venture Lo show their heads in our sirects. We cannot absolulely interdict the eri testant religion; but Waeaever @ party of Pro auis march in processign we jill break Weir heads.* Thy toue Is all the More iutoléravie considering we coolness With wilich the Cathviics seize the city Whenever they want it for their own pucposes, Arcubisiop AicCloskey spoke of the Orangemen “violating the law.’’ But their procession would have been n® more a violation of the law than the Procession which taxes place ov St. Patrick’s Day or on the numerous Other days in the year wae Catholics turn out wita bands of music and fags. It 18, however, ail settled now.

THE OITY AUTHORITIES SURRENDER TO THE BIOTERS, There wili be no Urange parade on the 12th. Ste Perintendent Keiso bas issued an order iorbiduing it.

He has received his orders from tuem. They have beea terrilled by the threats of the Hibernian socieues and have buwed their heads, They have virtually submitted to mob rule, They have coniessed that the will ol a sccres organization bas more weight with them than the Tights of tne peopl ‘They assume to discrimimate between two irish factions, and declare that trish- meu of the same religious belief as Meagher and Emunet and Wolie Tone and Join Mitcael haye no right to parade the streets of New York. The Mayor, Goveruor aud Superintendent of Police virtually say that they are mucompetent to maintain the dignity Of the laws and to preserve pubitc order. This action of Superintendent Kelso will create a Profound impression throughout the country, Ite elfect Will ve as injurious to the democratic party at the next presidential election as was the pusil- lanimity of James buchanan in 1860 and that of Horatio Seymour in 1563 at the election of 1864, The American peopie never forgive cowardice in their leaders, and gf all cowardice this truckling of our democratic city authorities to the threats of the Hibernians is Ue Worst that has beea exhibited for many # long day. From tho World. THE PUBLIC PEACE AND THE ORANGEMEN. After a close and careful survey of the prepara- tions made and making for celevrating in this city to-norrow the subjugation CME ve of the Cathoue religion in Ireland, and after a thorough inquest into the temper and purposes of the persons plan- ning Uhat celevra.ion, the Supermtendent of Pouce bas determined that it is his duty to prevent the occupation of the pudlic streets und thoroughfares by these persons and by the bodies of men assembled and assembiiug bere under their oruers. He has accordingly issued orders to tue police in their several precincts to keep the streets clear to-morrow of ail processions, groups and assemblages of all classes of citizens, Catholic or Protestant alike, and prowptly to arrest all per- sons of any description Who “in the thoroughfares may use threatening or disorderly language inciting vo breach of the peace, in contempt of the Stave statutes upon that subject.’ ‘Tms determination the Superintendent of Police has taken after full consuitation, of coui with the city authorities, and under legai advice. He will be sustained in it by all good citizens of all races, relt- gions and political opinions. Neither Urangewen bor any other body of men whatever have any absolute right v0 march in pro- cession through the pubite streets, ‘Lhe Superim tendent of Police states the case clearly and suc- cinetly. He says:— It any pro fon or oot jon by marching order of the were n mater of rigi Por oy logaily demand pro- tection, then it should at ail hazards receive escort and guard,’ because the authorities never should allow that ‘which is matter of right to the populace to be lawiexaly over. awed, But legal decisions have sestied that occupation of streets by processions la a mere matter of usage or toiera- tion, and in always subject to poilve regulation aa Visign, The surrender ol thoroughfares to large on boutes of men necessarily inter th ns, and those thus engaged sy f the vermineible trespassers.
