Having seen a communication from Yonkers in
your journal day or two ago, beg leave to sub
init few facts In relation TO the subject and hope
that as you have published the one, you will adhere
to the very equitable rule of hearing both Sides and
publish the other. The Catholic Sunday School
attached to the Church of Nativity in this city,
proceeded Monday last to the village OF Yonlers,
for the purpose of pleasure and recreation During
ihr time they were on the grounds young man who
does not belong to that church, shook apple tree
and thereupon three valiant citizens, including one
constable seized HIM in very violent and disgrace
u manner, and dragged HIM to an official parsonage
called the Squire" The young man made no re-
slstance, not even when one ofthem exclaimed very
fercely, "here's the second damned Irshman have
caught today"-and all the way to the Squire's
house, was unaccompanied, except by the aforesaid
valiant citizens, and boy IL or Is years old. Ha-
having been Investigated, he was Immediately dis
charged. He was not rescued by troop OF "WIld
lrishmen;" he was not 'retaken by small posse Of
Yonkers valiant cltlzens" and he was not ultimate
ly rescued by the "Irish" These, Mr. Editor, are
the simple facts Of the case and can be vouched for
at any time. How widely different are they from
those presented by the writer OF that miserable apo
ogy OF letter! Had the people on that excursion
been any other than they were, should have
heard Of it-but coming from where they did, the un-
mitgated blgotry and inexcusable stupidity of the
writer, were kindled into flame OF intense excite
ment, and not knowing in what manner to vent his
dirty spleen, he finally determined to expose his nm
sophisticated ignorance in the columns of your pa
per: have deemed II necessary 10 give this expla-
nation OF the affair." In order to disabuse the public
mind on the subject. Yours, &C.,
