This sophism is the last shift in the wav of a: - gument, to which tl‘e advocates of Orangeism can have recoui se. Now we answer, that Orangemen exist in Dublin and in most parts of Leinster, who, e there ale no Ribbonmen. We farther state in reply, tha: they had ex is.c . ci in all parts of Ireland for 15 or 16 Years before the name of Hibbonman was known of. The Ribbontneu of the North associated for the purpose of repel ling the s sternatic and long continued alzgressions of Orange men.—They are not the cattre iif Oiangeism but its effect, To say that thangeism should exist because Ribbonmen exist, is to maintain the monstrous proposition that a man can draw a justification from his own crimes. Ile may pro ceed in outrage until he provokes opposition ; and as soon as that evil is generated, he may seize upon it as a palliation for the original transLuessiou. This at least is the doctrine which 7 he rouritr holds, and there never was a murder com mitted which might not he excused by it. But it is at all events pleasant to extort from The Courier a confession, that political societies are not to he advocated it they be not indis pensibly necessary.—(Freeman's Journd.)
