We, the ORANGEMEN of the COUNTY Of 1.)0"14s°
feel it a,duty to our country and to ourselves,
the present crisis, to wake this public avowal
the causes that led to, and the principles and ecli'
tiwents that actuate our ASsociation
In the years immediately preceding the Rebei
lion of 1798, when numerous and active coOlit;
rators'were organizing treason, the danger of ""
country. aroused those principles of our for .1"'
titers, which had slumbered, in the breasts of the
Loyal Protestants of the North of Ireland, sioc4
the Revolution, and,thev resolved to support the
laws, and to defend, as far as in them lay, /11
government awl religion their ancestors had bic'
to establish ; and, iu order more effectually to
4
sist the Machinations of combined traitors, to e"'
pose their designs, and protect the wavering (it

of the disaffected; by precautionary signs, ,11'(4
bound by solemn Obligations to loyalty
to mutual assistance, in file active maintenaoca,
Of the constitution of the country, establishC"
at the glorious Revolution, under the loPl'fr.
auspices of 'King 'William the Third,--Prince,
Orange. .
The Well-affected hailed the Institution wi"
joy, and pressed forward in great numbers to join
its standard, becoming throughout the .Ml)o°'
the watchful sentinels of Government,. the actil
assistants of the Magistracy and.the Law.
when Rebellion was, through the blessing of
vine Providence, subdued, we feel:az honest pri"‘"
in the conviction, that the Orangemen, by their.
humble, yet zealous exertions, aided theGovetitcr
.
nient,, in no slight degree, towards its speedy
tinction,

About that period, when, as at present, vce
were assailed by.every species of caluMny that
malice of disappointed, Treason •c ould invenl
disseminate, we unanimously adopted and paii-
.lished the following declarati6n.: (4,
We solemnly declare; in the presence of -Almighty
that the idea of injuring any wan on aecounrof his Ve24/14,,Y
never entered our beans; we regard every loyal subject:;
our friend, he his religion what it may) We !rave pro enenaC

TO this declaratiarrwe now 6nce•more
subscribe ; our principles are 'unalterably II);
same; and deeply do we deplore the attempts.°'-.
so conspicuously made, to raise the cry of raigl-li°,
war in this land. •
