In our last number we gave our opinion of th
great meeting Of foreigners in Baltimore, in suc
terms OF censure as have brought down upo
our heads the ire Of the parties most interested
with hullabaloo that might confound men Z
less nerve than ourselves; but as it is, our oppo
nents but spit against the wind. We have pu
our hand to the plough, and will not turn back
To show that we are not alone in our opinion.
of the humbug meeting in Baltimore, we refer
our readers to the following excellent article from
the Cincinnati Gazette:


BALTIMORE VS.. BosToN.-An evil spirit has
disseminated sundry sources of discord between
the fremen, and some other citizens of Boston
on the one side, and certain Irish immigrants on
the other. During the last season, this has oc.
casioned two or three riots, which were duy
quelled, and such judicial Investigations as had
resulted in the conviction and punishment of the
principal rioters. The immigrants were the
greatest sufferers, il not the greatest Offenders
Hence some demagogues have set about getting
up an excitement in their behalf, in our pripci-
pal cities. The work, believe, commenced
with the Fanny Wright party in New York.
II has been taken up in Baltimore, where pub
lie meeting was convened of The friends of cipil
liberty, and column of first rate fustian, by way
Of preamble, and half dozen resolutions, all cut
and dried for the occasion, were adopted.

land. 1t applies, certainly, with more point tc
his case than to that of the recent broils between
the Irish and the Bostonians. 1t smacks through.
out Of irreligion and licentiousness.


Why the Ursuine Convent case is associated
with the Irish riots, do not pretend to under
stand: Itappears to be dragged in by the heels
which must have been intended to subserye
some purpose; if it had been, at any time, pro-
per for Baltimore to speak in condemnation OF
that measure, she should have spoken while the
wrong was fresh. 1t never can be too earnestly
denounced, as it was the great forerunner of the
whirlwind Of mobocracy that has recently swept
our land. But, in my opinion, it becomes Bal
tImore to hold her peace on the subject of mobs.
Have the murderous homicides of 1912 been for
gotten! Are not the Sabbath scenes of 1884 fresh
in recollection' should suppose Baltimorean
would blush, and, if possible, hide his face,
whenever the word mob attracted his ear. There
is downright brass face impudence in commen.
cling war of reproach against sister city. on
account of mobs, by any collection of citizens
residents Of the GREAT MOB TOWN of this
nation. And great names do not change its
character.
