The logical consequences of Orange tactics
has been developed in Belfast. IF clerics and
magistrates will Pervert their intelligence,
misuse their position, and take advantage of
their practical impunity, by haranguing fanati
cal mobs exciting their meanest passions, and
giving their worst and basest tendencies de-
Unite shape and purpose, it is the idiest folly

turned and took thirteen men into custody.
Stones were thrown and swords were drawn

can never be forgotten by the citizens of Cork.
He has written his name indelibly on the civic
annals of the Southern capital, and the NUM-
cipality may we'll mourn his retirement as the
