Mayor Hall Writes a Letter to the
Orange Grand Master.
The Green Above che Red, White
and Blue.
Orange, Orange,
Green and Orange,
Wave them together o'er mountain and bay;
Levics in fight
TTnitad in MIGHT

United in might,
Orange and Green will carry the day.
thus sang Thomas Davis over quarter OF cen
Hury ago. In the stirring noon Of the Young Ireland
party when galaxy Of noble spirits, full OF genius
and exalted patriotism, strOve with rare and bril-
liant fervor bring together all classes Of Irishmen
In one grana eiort for independence. They saw the
curse OF Ireland sprung from unreasoning religious
blgotry, that, like high and massive stone wall,
shut out one element of the population from the
other Through the vivlfying medium OF song
and oratory they quickened the impulses
OF patriotism and In part demolished the
barrier that separated the Protestant from his
Catholic fellow countrymen. But in spite Of Davis
thrilling verse ana Meagher's burning eloquence the
Ola feuds In blood and bigotry on the banks Of
tAe Boyne broke forth. and Orangemen ODlivi0us OF
country and nationality, stil1 insisted on drinking
Tie health OF King william and looking back
through the dim vista OF the gathering years to
commemorate the conquests Of o man whose
language was truly Dutch to them, ana whose vic.
tories were as much In the real cause OF the pure
Protestant religion as the windmill performance
Of Don Quxote was In the interest OF
knighty chvalry. All the tried and martyred
patriots Of Irish history since Orangeism was estab
iished were, with few exceptions, Protestants.

aid, Napper Tandy, Art hur O'Conor, Davis, Smith
O'Brien, John Mitchell and Others that the cues.
uon OF religion which has been sprung into this
controversy has really proper abiding place In It,
In the reports, interviews, letters, &C., which we
publish 1t will be seen that religion plays proml-
nent part though In truth the bottom OF the present
bitterness between Roman Catholic Irish and
Orange Irish rests upon another foundation, and
that is nationality, in which, perhaps, you ex-
anime the warp and wool, may be found many
threads Of q religious texture.
THE VOLCANIC ELEMENTS
which some Of the papers pretend are about to
burst forth tomorrow and fill every Irishman's soul
with frenzy are In great measure purely fanciful.
Tue subjOined accounts gathered by the HERALD re-
porters from all parts OF the city represent that the
Orange parade formed the leading subject OF dis
cusson and that many fears were expressed that
despite the foresight and vigilance of Superntend-
ent KeIso the peace OF the city might be broken.
THIS cloud, no larger than mans hand few days
ago. has already covered the vast circumference Of
the heavens and vet the truth viii be found that It's
origin could be traced to mere handful OF men,
who, partly by prejudice and partly instiGated by
corrupt and designing politicians, have uttered
threats whose real significance fall far below what
they express. At least this Is the ingenious turn
given to 1t by our authorities to cover up their
lnglOrfous back down.
The story goes now that the whole thing is
REPUBLICAN TRICK
TO embroil the Catholics and Protestants, provoke
sho former to assall and inmidate the latter, and
give an excuse to President Grant to put In force
che late Ku Kux law, which gives him the power
10 protect citizens Of the United States in any Of the
States In the enjoyment Of their rights and prevent
violence and intimidation TO persons. This story
extravagant as 1t may seem, received wide cur
rency yesterday and those who consider the repub.
lioans would resort to any measures to break up
democratic rule IN this city gave It ready
Credeuce. It was said that as long ago as
four months men in the pay Of the republican party
became members OF the Hbernian Societies, and
made the subject of assaiing the Orange procession
OF tomorrow the special purpose OF their talk
among those who belonged to the societies. until
they worked upon the feelings and preJudces Of the
members to such an extent that nnal resolve was
reached last week to stop the Orangemen vi es
asmfs. FOR this object 1850 rides were furnished.
oGlcers appointed to command companies, and a
regular military organization accomplished. IL was
hoped all this might be done without the cogn-
sauce of the police or the other civic authorities and
when the day for the procession arrived
THE ATTACK WAS TO BIZ MADE

state and superintendent OF Police would be taken

In confirmation of this story, those who hold that
che idea OF attacking the Orangemen originated
with certain members Of the republican party point

Ancient Hibernians proceeded 70 Long Branch yes
