" Like likes Like."—.(English Proverb.)

The Radical Papers have made a prompt handle
of the offence—as they chose to term it—of the
Trumpeter Me”cyEp, This man, being hunted
by a pack of Reformers, turned upon them, and

Wounded a brace of his pursuers. Our Readers
know the result ;—the test set op a halloo after
Lim, and nothing, forsooth, will content them but

We are closely watching the progress of the
-Rebellion ; which in its very incipience
sreadds so observantly in the track of its Irish
Sister of 1798. In fact, there is scarcely a move-
mentof our Radicals which is not copied from
their Hibernian Prototype. And why, should it
not ?—According to the Proverb which we have
chosen to head this article—" LIKE LILES LIKE."
The Radicals are not scrupulous in their se-
lection of examples. Any thing Irish, be it
Popery or Rebellion7—both of which pretty
wrongly savour of Radicalism—finds in them ready
imitators. A short anecdote, on the truth of
which our Readers may confidently rely, will
evince this promptitude of imitation.
In 1810, an Orangeman, named Byvte, sailed
from Dublin in. a Liverpool vessel. During the
iloyage, he was plundered by some radical passen-
gers, who, in overhauling his pocket-book, found
the Certificate of his Lodge. This was an unpar-
donable crime. He WM; radically convicted upon
the spot, radically stripped of all his little pro.
Petty, and sentenced to be radically thrown over-
board. The Law, however, being still strong
onongh to question this radical jurisdiction, his
life was spared, and he was set on shore at Liver-
pool in a whole skin, but without his money or
+certificate.

We shall not stop to enquire how ;—but the
Certificate, some way or other, travelled into
the bands of Counsellor O'CoNNELL, the great
Leader of the Popish I-libel-no-Radicals. The
'Counsellor announced it in a flaming speech at an
si:gregate Meeting in Dublin, and a fac simile
saf poor brims's Orange Certificate was given, ir.
c wooden cut, made for the purpose, in the Dub-
lin Chief-Radical Paper, The Evening Herald.
The conseyience may he guessed. BYttNs was
necrally hunted through Dublin. Wheresoever he
stirred, he was pursued, and hallooed, and cream
cfl at, and shouter/ at. Ile actually lived the life j
