UI which the Roman asaui^tttholies were also defeated, was on tlx Ki 'Ali of J?ly preceding The English FsVKamoat, many years ago, in order to ptevont, if possible, the frequent blood shod, incident to such demonstrations, prohibited Ute Oeangcmen from holding fjn their parade on the anniversary of the sS^ battle of Augfmm. They were bo tenacious upon the point, however, that they often violated the law, though their rmtb>rq S?* m*mri leaders wero arrested aud punished ; and ?"?J seenW determined to renew here the ancient observance. ? *M ^Pno^llranirc S<-eiety of the United aat ttfafta oTatbS, according to tho ?utemeuta of the Grand Master, John J. Boud, has A distinct Organization for two ' years. Tho Supreme T/odgc, as it is called, is in England, and under a char ter granted by it, the Society has been established here for about four years. It was thought, ho.vever, that the Ameri ha brunch should be an independent y<'*y???Tani'/3tinri in avoid accusations of - want of allegiance to the (ioverumcnt. ! The geh oral declaration of the princi ples of the Society is that the Loyal Orange Institution of the United States of America is formed by pcrsotib desirous (i-,b^aa^sw^SiW4laY,:''to the utmost of their power, ths principles and proocpts of the Protestant religion, to maintain the laws and Constitution of tbU count iy, afford assistance to distressed members of the carder, and otherwise to promote such laudable and bcnovolcnt purposes as may tend to the due ordering of religious and Christian charity, and the supremacy of law, order, and the Constitution. Its members associate in honor of V Willi?? Henry, Prince of Orange, tine they boar und whose mem they revere, tending as he did un der Divine Providence to tho wer,thro\v of the most oppressive bigotry and tho restoration of eivil and religions freedom and: hope in the adoption Of his name t.vemntotr hi? virtue* b\ miintninin? j^rj0* w?^rw?t wwewltai" ec I/smjc^ iog upon the rights of snr. They also assemble id the nftn^and^cveVe the mom ory of George Washington, believing him to be blessed by Almighty God, in rais ing as a lasting tribute to his memory, the ouivorsaj freedom, both civil and religious, of this country to the end of time. Likewise do they reverence the. name of Abraham Lincoln, as one whom the people of this country should forever remember as the great liberator of a sec tion of the human race. The Orange Institution lays no claims to exclusive Protestantism of exclusive loyalty, but it admits no one to member* ship whoso creed is not Protestant. Without this requisite the greatest and Wealthiest mny seek admission in Vain! That the eandidato shall be believed to be incapable of persecuting or inju ring any person on account of Ins reli gious opinions is also necessary for nd missiou into the Society.. The whole Institution is one neigh borhood, within which every Orangoman is at home in the furthest part of the world, and which is the uteohauistn of Institution that while its operations arc thus extended, its every movement is alike felt aud nuswered in every part. In short, the Orange Institution, like a glorious morning luminary, is intended to pour its refulgeucc not on one part only of tho circumference of the globe but simultaneously on every portion, equally enlightoned. The Society ignores politics. It has 13 Lodges in New York, averaging' about 100 members each. There are also besides a L-fge Lodge in Newburgh and one in Potsdam, N. Y., lour in Pennsylvania, five in New Jersey, three in Massachusetts, acd one in Illinois. The Orangemen were joined in their parade in New Y'ork on tho 12th inst., by about ouc thousaud fire hundred members of the American Protestant Association, and by about one thousaud other sympathizers, so they had alto gether about five thousaud mou in line. They expressed a calm determination to parade, regardless of opposition. They iuteuded to eeek no quarrel, though they were prepnred to repel one. The Grand Master and other prominent n.em bers of the Society bad received many threatening letters, prior t < tho day on which they had decided to parade, warning them that if they did so it would be at the peril of tbeir lives. The Roman Catholic Irish S. ietics, chiefly the Ancient order of Hibernians of tbe City of New York and vicinity, number about ten thousand men, of whom nil, it was believed, were prepar ing, previous to Wednesday the 12tb, to parade on that day for tbe purpose of overawing, it not of assailing the Orangemen. Tbo Roman Catholics ve hemently declared that the Orangemen's object was to insult their creed aud their manhood, and that the}' desired to wan tonly revive memories of cruel wrongs and persecution suffered at tho hands of tluj Protestants iu Ireland yenrs ago. They objected, nbovo all, to tbo com metnoratiou of the d;iy in whioh Ireland was finally crushed under the heel of British de.opotisiu. Now tho Orangemen deemed them selves free aud independent subjects of the United States Government, not lack ing iu allegiance and patriotism to Repub lican principles and Republican laws, aud felt that thay had a rght to celebrate or comiucmorato auy day that was dear to tbeir bosoms or their memory. Hence bumi ?-? ...-. .-............... .*j parade the streets of New York City on tho 12th of July, 1871 j hence their in dignation at the order of Superinteudaut KcU>o, forbidding them from the free exorcise of a right which tho Constitu tion of this country guarantees to its humblest subject. They siuiply desired to commemorate the anniversary of a day which was dear to their Protestant hearts, and it wad wrong and inexpiably mean in Kelso to order them to desist. Is this uut a free country ? A t o ruen's opinions to bo hampered and lash ? toned niter those of their neighbors, simply because those iodivualf declare them to bo wrong? Arc the few Orangemen iu New < York to be forbidden from doing that which tho Roman Catholics claim a right to observe, and do carry out ? Let Superintendent Relso answer.

The blunder that Kelso made was as wrong in its enormity as Would be an order from Presideut Grant to-mor row forbidding tho further, worship of God in this country, only in one's olds* et. There are some persons who sneer at and stigmatise the celebration by the >fa?H>ne of St. John'n Day. Now suppose for a moment because oi'ilioao sore-heads and their dislike of Free Matoiuy, tho Executive nt Wnamngtrm were to iaMia nn order forbidding them Irotii the ex ercise of this ri^-ht ? . We suppose this etfso, because it will btriko the in hid* of our readers inastlong er lijyWt, and ? hat wo may bo tho mote able to make clear and plain the idea designed to bo com eyed in this article. Wesny, supjM^o this ? What would rhi.-* Continent shy ??nny, what would the wholo oiviliaod World soy? Would not execrations deep and bl ick be showered upon tho man whoso heart could father a 1 thing so mean ? I Nay, would hd uot bo taken by thi3 pcojrlc or fraternity, outraged In their creed, like an ox to the slanghter pen, and t'uero made to expiate hii siu ? Thtit-e are strong wordB, but t! e enormity of the ciime p'jrpeti.itcd by Ketso, deserves to be Spokon of tu such a manner. And let our leaders under stand us. We are not speaking in this strain because we are OrangcmeU- We belong to neither of the Institutions at war with each other. But we do be long to a tree country ; a >d wheu men's rights and opinions are utte-roptcd to be j ti am pi cd upon by other tuen, or any so ciety or set of indiv iduals, we will al ways be found raining our voice as one of the ceusors of tuch crime?. We re peat that we aro neither Culholis, Or aogemeu, nor du \vc belong to any Chuvch, therefore it cannot bo said that we have any prejudices in tbis matter. Our erred is a free and independent j one. Wa believe in men csereisrii: 1 freely their opiuionj-, no matter what they are, to long as they will j:ivo to us, without molestation, ?hn same right. Every man is end-'wed with a soul, and ? gifted with a natsrc responsible to his God, and if be violates any of Heaven's luws, there is a punibhnunt that will follow as a consequence. Put let not [ mortal:*, us blind, as weak, and ns n?is- | guided perhaps ns the Rebel against God's lawn, jeek to inflict an earthly punishment. Freedom ! is our motto. Freedom of thought, of mind, of heart and of opiu- i ion. We Acknowledge a supremo alle giance to God. and a secondary one to our country. And so long ns we remain patriotic and faithful in the observance of said secondary allegiance to our country, we shall as surely expect the I support and protection from insult fer | opinion's f-uke. at the bnnds of the Gov ernment under which we live. If that Government fails d> bold out to u* its protecting arm, when in danger of insult, it is a miiernblo failure and an abortton of the idea that our forefathers had of Republican institutions. But than* God for the lit publican party, thank God for the fair name of tho thousands j of honest and respcctablo Germans who | make up :ho rank and file of that party at the North, it was uot under Republi can sdministrtaion of laws that the Uiot of which we arc writing, occurred. New York Stato i3 run by corrupt Tam many Hull Democratic politicians, men who will scruple to do nothing thst will give to them a longer louse of power. But Kelso's order was one lltuo the Tarninaii) clique overleaped their, mark. 11 oilman \raa quick to set: this, and is sued a proclunmUou that the Orange procctaion (should bo protected. Kelgo's order was thcil null and void. But it was too late. Tho thousands of Orangemen, besides the many who did uot belong to their Institution, but who desired to see this Society enjoy its frcodom, saw the nniinus of the Demo cratic souls who run the Slate of New York, and became disgusted with old Tammany. Aud mauy of them at j onco bolted from the lines marked out by the leaders of it-j tirh'poh ?M'FI I ? Mi UBJ.Jt,'iHl.JlJ-l.?^?WJLiWlJlJUxlJAl'igJ Bti*~- to the procession. After tho withdrawal of Kelso's order, the Or angemen formed, end commenced their parade ebout 2 o'clock. But before this;, firing was beard some time, and a number of persons, unfriendly to the Or sngomcn, anucd with pistols, knives, and hatchets were arrested. Later tbo riot coiwhieuced on the upper portion of 9th Avenue, and resulted iu ubout one hundred and ten man'bsirtg killed and wounded together. A Mot and perpetual monument if shame, ibis will stand recorded against the present administration of the laws of New York.\ ?f?* No matter *w-bat the faith may be which tho Orangeman hug* to his bo soin, tho Government owes it to him, as one uf its subjects, that he shall not be molested in his light to cherish said faith J no matter what song he desires to sing bp tho d;iy whose anniversary is dear to him, so that it Is not in rebellion to the Government, he should be shicldod and protected in his right by tho law j no matter what Prince he takes his Dame and creed after, if he is not unpatrioti", he should bo upheld in the free enjoyment of his opinions; no matter if he does vote against the pres ent corrupt powers of New York, and uses bis influence to hurl dishonesty from places of trust and honor, still he has rights which must bo protected, even by said corrupt powers; two mctter bow offensive his demonstrations of faith iu a Protestant religion may be to Cath olicism, still he is just as mueh a citi zen of this country, ajid it owes him tho shelter of a protection^ arm equally with the rest; and a free exercise of his opin ions, the -iune as is giveu to tbo Cath ulics and other Iustitutions and Socie ties, to celebratecertaiu days. Wo distinctly ?t?te a^aiu that wo are ueithers Catholic vor Orangemen-.' c)ur purpose is to condemn neither of these Institutions?for I hey boch are equally honest iu their gpnrictions,?but to en- I den vor to csueh ssd repel a spirit, which if fostered and upheld by the laws of diis couutny, will, iu rho end, throw it ! into chaos und confusion. I I Religious excitement and persecution ' are the most . Then how much more necessary is it that the Press should rebuke nod condemn a sentiment which if allowed to grow, will result in untold injuries to nur country. Not, understand us, by the gnowtbof tho Orange Institution* or of CutbolieiMm, or any ether creed or Society?, but w.j mean that spirit of persecution for opinion's sake so rife in our laud. This is who* wo moan,?crush out tho unrepublican and unchristian spirit that prompts us to refuse to give unto our neighbors thv.t which we would have them to give unto us I Givoto each man tho privilege to worship his God with those rites that are the most dear to his soul. If he desires to act the pari of the Publican, retire to his teere; closei, and there commune with his God, why lot him uot be molested . if he chooses to take a nosition at tho corner of tho streets, -iid thero thunk God that he is not as other men. still let him be protected ; or if his soul longs for something else, if be desires a parade, let him havo it, aud if wrong in bis worship, leavo the matter with him and Iiis God. Now this is what the Catholics did not want, and vowed that they would not allow the Oraugcruen to do in New York City ou tho 12th of this Mouth. Hence the riot. To bring tho matter nearer home we will illustrate. Suppose the Young Americas forever hereafter dceired to celebrate the 28th day of Juuo, tho day on which they boat ihe Elliotts in the ruoc, and the latter Company chanced to bo more of favorites with bis Honor Moyor Rull, aud iu oonscqucnoo be is sued an order forbidding said eelebra tion or commemoratiou, wouldn't the Young Americas feel outraged and in sulted ? No.f this is exactly what led to the riot in New York. Because the Orangemen wanted to eolubrate a certain day, und another Society didn't want them to do so, und because said latter Society wus a fa\:>???:?) with the authori ties, they wore forbidden from ex ercising ono of their dearest righti. Ohr faith is in tV Ri^ht. Wherever justice points it, let it not be withheld. If the Catholic* desire to celebrate or commemorate certain days, we say let them do it; end let them be protected in their desiro ; if the Orangemen's pur pose is to make certain demonstrations certain days, protect them also, no long as they are patriotic aud faithful to tho Government; if Methodist love tc have their camp-meetings, and she ;tings, und revivals, lrt tho arm of the law bo extended over them; if the Baptists meet together in their associations, for the purpose, as they think, of furthering the religion of Christ, wo say let them alse find a full and ample protection from tho ineults of those religious creeds which differ from their rites of worship. This is what wc want and this is the glorious state of society which the writers of tho immortal Declaration of Independence contemplated, in signing that instrument. In short, this is what we must have. We don't think, therefore, that the Catholics should interfere with the Orangemen : nor on the other hand, do wc tliink tho Orangemen should inter fere with the Catholics. But the spirit of hatred between the two has been increasing fur somo time, j And who is responsible for it??the | politicians of New York. During the Draft riot in 18G3, the mob was addressed, and to a certain ex tent, (when too late,) controlled by the late ^.rchbishop Hughes. They were also-addressed by Horatio Seymour, the then Democratic Governor, as "My friends." The City of New York has now a dnbt of two or three millions of eWlars in the shape of bonds issued to pay for property destroyed by mob rule in 18C3. The Catholics in New York receive seven-eights of the bounties given by the City to different Charitable Institutions. The most prominent Dem ocratic p* y.ticiana in New York are of Catholic faith. In fact until the late riot they imagined they owned that J City. Now. the Ciitholie politicians aud ' off.ee holders of New York, would be thought a great deal inure of if they would guarantee to each individual a free vxe-.ois? ?.f his opinions, religious and civil. And nord we teWfiUm that thin Government is n Mnm^ mic, and if they refuse to al lbw to others rite privileges they enjoy, that there is a tribunal before which they will be tried, and if convict led, punished. T' .t tribunal is the pco plo. We have written thus warmly upon this subject because our heart ia ever , roused when wo hour of men's religions j or political opinions being encrounbed upon as tlye Orangemen's wcro ou- the 12th inni. Let every man fblibwnjs'own comric *:om?, and let God judge in the end who is right. Nj matter what the sius of our fellow tucu maybe, if we cannot persuade them into the right by calmly telling them our con fictions, Hea.vea docs not choose us as an instrument, full of sin as we are,to be the Nemesis to punish their wrongs. That is left for God. He will do that in his own good time. We intend to wound no one's feelings. Wc have simply written hastily but calm ly our couvictions,?a privilege which we hold every man has a right to exercise. And we repent, that freedom of thought, freedom of action, and freedom of politi cal nod religious opinions is our motto. sau?! is jinn ior tirgii; A correspondent of the Charleston Cou rier t writing from Black villein this State, under date, July 22d, tries to bo hifa 1 ntin.
