On the -same night, the body, deferring at once to the spi-
rit of these resolutions (which we have no doubt were duly
communicated to their officers), a placard was issued, an-
nouncing their determination to abstain from any display on
the 12th of July ; and, notwithstanding some little soreness
felt by portions of the order at the disappointment of their
,hpri.l-1 anticipations, the question—procession or no pro-

cessionwas consiuereu as all uut beutett, upou Luc: unuct -
standing that the rule, as applied to them, would- be applied
to all. In the course of the week, however, notwithstanding
the communication of the magistrates with " Lawrence Hey-
worth, John Cropper, jun., Esq., and other gentlemen in-
fluential with that body," a circular was issued by the Papist
Teetotallers, announcing their intention to walk on the llth
of July, and throwing out in the document itself a purposely
intended sneer at the Orange body. By this circular exas-
peration was excited' amongst its members which led to the
determination announced in our last publication. In addi-
tion to this studied aggravation of the feelings of the loyal
Protestants of the town, the Popish Mercury on Friday con-
tributed its quota of exciting matter. The determination of
the Orange body to abstain from their intended procession
was termed " making a merit of necessity." The rank false-
hood is put forth that they are a body " bound together by
secret and illegal oaths ;" and the principle is broadly main-
tained that, whilst they " CANNOT WALK," other societies
must not be placed under similar " interdict."
The effect of this incendiary language upon the Orange
body, already smarting under fancied or real wrongs, we need
not describe. A climax, however, was added by the scribe
of the Popish Journal on Saturday, which fanned, what
might otherwise have smouldered, into an open flame. By
this insolent oracle, a body, numbering in its ranks men su-
perior in station, in intellect, and in loyalty to himself, were
designated as " PESTILENT RUFFIANS;" by this paltry tool
of the priesthood the feelings of the entire order—and what
wonder ?—were worked up to a pitch little short of actual
exasperation. _

And what was their course—what was the course of their
leaders—under this accumulation of insult and outrage ? On
Friday morning a deputation from the body waited upon the
mayor at the Town-hall, to protest against the infringement,
by the teetotal societies, of the rule laid down by the magi-
strates in their resolutions of the 25th June. On that occa-
sion the conduct of his worship, as reported to us, was most
praiseworthy and conciliatory. Another meeting was ap-
pointed for the afternoon of the same day, previous to which
his worship undertook to see the leaders of the teetotal body
—Lawrence Heyworth and John Cropper, jun. we presume
—but the interview we imagine was unsatisfactory ; and a
further meeting with the Orange leaders was fixed for Satur-
day. On that day it was announced that the grand master
of the Orange Society would visit Liverpool to use his influ-
ence with his brethren of the order. By him an interview
with the mayor was held ; and by him subsequently the order
was convened together, and their loyalty appealed to, to fur-
ther, so far as they were concerned, his worship's wishes.
By that appeal we know that the majority of the order will
be decided. As an organised body the Orange Societies will
not walk in procession on the 12th of July ; and although it
is still possible that a few insubordinate spirits will rebel
against authority and act in defiance of the magistracy, that
course on their part, we say advisedly, will depend upon the
circumstance whether other parties act in a similar contuma-
cious spirit, which is designed to exasperate the Orangemen
to do that which they themselves amongst the loudest pro-
fess to deprecate.
On Saturday another meeting of the mayor and magistrates
was held, at which the following resolutions (in addition and
referring to the resolutions before quoted) were passed, viz::—
" Resolved,—That the said Resolutions be Printed and
Published, and that the Mayor and Magistrates determine
that they will apply the said Resolutions to all Parties in-
differently, and that they will by all lawful means in their
power, impress and enforce the same accordingly."

Yesterday, we understand, another interview would be held
between the Mayor and the teetotal leaders. Its result at
present we do not know. We must confess, however, that
we have no great face in its successful tendency. The ribbon
teetotallers, we firmly believe, will exhibit their strength on
the 11th, if for no other reason, in pure taunt to the Orange
body ; and if that body do persist—and we pray that they
may not—in imitating the disloyal conduct of their enemies,
upon the head of popery, which has stimulated them to do
so, be the consequences which may ensue !
Upon this subject we shall have more to say to our Orange
fellow-townsmen upon another occasion ; at present, all that
we ask of them is to contemplate the spirit of the order to
which they belong ; and to beware of POPISH AGENTS
AMONGST THEIR OWN BODY, who would push them on to
rebellion against the laws of their loyal institution and the
laws of our common country !
