" LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, IsB4,

The Dublin Evening Mail, of Wednesday last an-
nounces with an air of proud triumph, that the Orange-
men of the county of Down, With' Lord RODEN at
their head, arc about to hold a public meeting on the
30th inst., which has been convened by several of
the Orange Grand-masters in that part of the country ;
and which, in the energetic language of our meek Irish
contemporary, " will decide the waverer, give confi-
dence to the timid, and afford an assurance to all, that
men so leagued in defence of their religion and laws,
may defy the machinations of an infidel ministry, and
laugh to scorn the jesuitical intrigues of a Popish
priesthood, backed by an insurrectionary rabble."
There iv great modesty in this description of the crown-
ing effects of this mighty meeting—" that is to be." The
very shadow of Lord RODEN—not to speak of the
Crommelins, the Saurins, the Warings, the Lindsays,
and the Dollings, whose names are appended to the
resolution of " the Grand Orange Lodge of the county
of Down"—would of itself more than bid defiance to
all the statesmen and priests in the universe. Such a
list of bright and classical names in the page of uni-
versal history, as we have above given, are capable of
whatever they may please to attempt ; and we implore
his Britannic Majesty, if it be not yet too late, to dis-
charge his present Cabinet forthwith, and to send an
embassy to Ireland to intreat Sir' HARCOURT LEES,
with the illustrious personages already given, to take
the direction of his MAJESTY'S councils. The throne
already begins to totter before the destroying ire of the
Orangemen of Down, every one of whom is a
Sampson, laden with the jaw-bone of an ass, amid a
host of Philistines. As to the Ministry, we see them
like the fields of ripe standing corn, into which the
fire-brand-bearing foxes are already t.l:iven. Lo
the conflagration has begun—the flames rush along
with the impetuosity of a torrent, and the sound of a
whirlwind in the forest—and not a stubble is left.
The Ministry are tone=clestroyed—utterly annihi-
lated by the hostile waving of a lily in the hand of a
Downshire Grand Master of an Orange lodge
But we take comfort from an implied statement in
the announcement of our Dublin contemporary, which
admits that the Government has yet time to retrace its
steps. We say the statement is barely implied, for the
Evening Mail does not positively assure us that any
sacrifice can now save the Cabinet, or avert the calami-
ties with which this country is threatened, in conse-
quence of having incurred the anger of the Orange.
men of Down. We, however, give The passage upon
which all our hopes of mercy are founded:—

" It is urged by the advocates of emancipation, that that
fatal measure—one not only ruinous to the. best interests of
Ireland, but which in its consequences has been destructive of
the fame, glory, and character of Great Britain—was carried
by intimidation; and that the ministry of the day extenuate
their error by asserting, that the apprehension. of a Romish re-
bellion coerced them, against their conviction, to do that which
they foolishly hoped would have averted the threatened re-
sults. Have the Ministers of the present day no well-grounded
fears of what Protestants may be driven to by the course the
Government is pursuing ? This is, we can. assure there, well
worth their consideration : and as lOvers of peace and as pa-
triots, we warn them to pause."

It would seem to us, from the admonition vouch-
safed, in the spirit 'of pattiotivg and peace, by our
contemporary in the above extract, that there is yet a
hope for. the Cabinet—that the doors of the Gratid
Orange Lodges of Down are not yet closed against the
MELBOURNE Administration. The threat is awful
indeed, when it is considered from what quarter it
comes ; and the description given of the emancipation
of the Irish Catholics is so lull 'of meekness and
fraternal charity, that we are ball inclined to think
it was penned by the Rev. MARCUS BRRESFORD.
It was a sad mistake, that emancipating of the Irish
Catholics, because it dared to imply that it was the duty
of a Government to afford'equal. protection to its sub-
jects, whatever might be their religions creed—than
which nothing can be more opposed .to the real spirit
of Downshire Orangeism. Had the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON done his duty on that memorable occasion,
instead of 'emancipating the Catholics, he would have
passed a Bill to oblige all Papists to be born in the
shape of donkeys, with pack-saddles on their backs, to
be ridden about by their more orthodox countrymen.
This, indeed, would have been doing something to ap-
pease the just wrath of the constitutional quaffers of
the " glorious and immortal memory." Let the present
Cabinet, however, set about, and eradicate this abuse
so offensive in the nostrils of Reverend and Magisterial
Orangemen. Let them either. repeal the Emancipa-
tion Act, or comply, with any other demand the
Orangemen may make,- in the hope that thereby
the throne may be preserVed, and the nationality
of England prevented from being blotted out from
among the kingdoms of Europe. Only think of an
Irish Orange invasion led on by the 'gallant CROM-
