ADDRESS.

" We, taking into consideration your Highness's fer-
vent zeal for the Protestant religion, manifested to the
world in your many hazardous enterprises, wherein it hath
pleased Almighty God to bless you with miraculous suc-
cess, do render our deepest thanks to the Divine Majesty
for the same, and beg leave to present our most humble
thanks to your Highness, particularly, for your appearing
in arms in this kingdom, to carry on and perfect your
glorious designs, to 'rescue these kingdoms from slavery
and popery, and,' in a free parliament, to establish the
religion and laws and liberties of these kingdoms upon a
sure and lasting foundation. We have hitherto looked
for some remedy for those oppressions and imminent
dmaers.which we, together with our Protestant fellow-
subjects, laboured under, from his Majesty's concessions
and concurrences with your Highness's just and pious
purpose, expressed in your gracious declaration. But
of
hum-
blycapital
herein finding ourselves finally disappointed by his Ma-
prottheectio name
n, and this
most
Ma-
jesty's withdrawing himself, we presume to make your
city,
beseech Highness
eismeci
oohrneyrruoeriflur Highness
Highness'se , an d do , in
to repair to this city, where
your Highness will be received *
with universal joy and
y
satisfaction."

Sir, having given you the above address, I beg to add
the following Orangeman's submission :

We've fund the banner that wav'd so long its sunny folds
around us;
We've still the note of our ancient song, and burst the tie that
bound us.
No, no ! that tie, that sacred tie, can ne'er be loos'd or broken,
And thoughts will flash from eye to eye, altho' no word be
spoken,

Go, raze old Berry's tell-tale wall; hid Enniskillen perish ;
Choke up the Boyne; abolish all that we so fond y cherish :
'Twill be but as the pruning knife, used by a skilful master
To concentrate the sap of life and fix the strong root faster.

We love the throne; oh ! deep ye plann'd the hateful wile to
prove us;
But firm in stainless faith we stand—our Queen shall know and
love us.
When William came to free this isle from galling chains that
bound her,
Our fathers rear'd beneath his smile a living rampart round her.

Ye've ta'en the outer crust away, but, secret strength sup
plying.
A spiritstriii'd within the clay, dwells quenchless and undying;
A sparkle from the hallow'd flame of our insulted altars,
Pure as the fire from whence it came, our love ne'm fades nor
falters.

That love to thee, dear injured land, by mocking foes insulted,--
That love to thee, Victoria, by artful craft assaulted ;
Banner, and badge, and crished name, here at thy call we
tender,—
The loyal truth that guards the throne we'll keep, 'and "NO
SURRENDER.'

AN ORANGEMAN AND PROTESTANT.
