ORANGE AND GREEN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
As the HERALD circulates go largely among my
fellow Irish Catholics wish to say few words to
them through its columns regarding the Orange
parade. Though an advocate OF religious snd potl.
cal to,eration 10 all in its fullest sense must
press my opinion that Orangemen are not entitled
to the same privileges aud protection In this city as
Protestanls or Roman Catholics.
1t is great mistake to think that Protesanism
and Orangelsm are identical. Os the contrary some
OF the greatest leaders and martyrs in the cause OF
Ireland have been Protesan,s, and have had
the unbounded confidence OF the masses OF
their Catholic followers. The certainty OF the
one Is founded on the great Divine prccept
of 'Iove your ne,ghbor as yourset;' OF the
other, "Down with the Papsts " ''ro hell with the
