desirous at present of confining your attention to the at-

Brethren and fellow-countrymen, we have sinned deeply
as a nation, and we are threatened with a heavy retribu-
tion. At every point we have the elements of coming
mischief; Sedition; false philosophy, sectarianism, po-
pery, threaten us in turns. And what can save us

from their united onset? We answer, Protestant faith-
fulness—Protestant union! We must be prepared to
face our dangers manfully, on whatever side they approach,
and beneath whatever form they lurk. We must be re-
solved to cling to, and spread, THE TRUTH. We must

charity and pure religion which once characterized the
people of England, when she was great and glorious, when
she was "nappy—Protestant England."
And by what human instrumentality is all this good to
be regained? We tell you, fellow-countrymen, by the
union of faithful and godly men, drawn together under
such a bond as is afforded by the Loyal Orange Associa-
tion, and wonting together in that mutual confidence
which such a bond inspires. We ask, therefore (if the
objects which we have pointed out are yours) to examine
into the means offered you for their realization. We in-
vite the ce-operation of our Protestant brethren. We
admit none-as members who are not-strictly and devote.
Protestant, loyal and peaceable subjects. We recognize
no other ezolusions. Our institution receives, nay, in-
vites, into its circle every Briton whose religion and cha-
racter can stand these tests. We repudiate an intolerant
spirit. The greatest and wealthiest men may seek in vain
our brotherhood, should he be capable of persecuting or
injuring any one for his religious opinion. Examine our
rules—test our loyalty—our Protestantis,n, our sincerity;
and if you find them firm and faithful, join your efforts to
ours—became Oranilemen, not in name only, hut in
and soul, and your country is saved from disgrace and ruin
