TIE COUNTY WEXFORD SPEAKS.

NEW YORK. July IL, 1871.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HsRAID:-
AS an old subscriber OF your valued paper, wish
to say few words on the proposed Orangemen's
parade, owing to tine cloud OF Misrepresentation
which, lind, is allowed to rest upon the case as 1t
why this parade OF lot OF frothing fanatics should
be put down by the strong hand OF the law. shall
give some OF tnem-
First-Because these Orangemen are not citizens
OF the United states, and can never be, rs their
secret oath-whlcn they are careful not to allow to
be publ sned-torbds them to owe allegiance TO any
monarch power or state but the power which rules
the English nation.
they carry the Bible, as vile swindie and pretence,
at the head of their ranks. The Bible Is a book Of
love- charity and CHRISTIAN f0ry1veness-tnat Is Its
teaching. These bad men do not follow the Chris
tan religion nor the Bible.
Yhtrd They are but handful among our gallant
Irish race scattered all over the world and through
the means OF such verv fellows as those who wish
to parade, the entire nation is disgraced.
FOtrth-Because these men crowded The office OF
the British Consul, 10 Broadway, during the time OF
the draft and made every effort to claim British
protection, winch they received. This Is reasonable
enough In born Englisnman, VINO certainly has
reason to be proud Of his country and nag. For an
freshman TO 40 so, 1t is the crime OF Benedict
Arnold.
P,Nh-Because the Irishmen who compose the
Ancient Order of llbernians were fighting for 'the
stars and Stripes" although many Of them were
poor and had 10 leave their families to do So wnle
the others were seeking to destroy the freedom ana
liberty which they now invoke. Their idea OF
liberty Is to have liberty to insult annoy and enrage
their fellow c0untrymen
SiLth-Because there Is law on the statutes OF
the State or New York which fOrbds them to
parade, and they seek to evade 1t by changing their
name.
Seuerth-Because the American people have been
msled into believing that the Hlbernlans oppose
them on religious grounds, when such Is not the
case. Hbernians object to them because they
helped England To enslave Ireland, and acted as
the Cowboys, SINNERS and Tories OF the Revolu.
tlOn-and these Orangemen deserve the same in
fanny and execration wherever they are.
E,0htt-because the very English government
which they have sworn to protect Will nave nothing
to do with them, and has had to pass laws in the
House OF Parliament to put them down In their
career OF outrage arson and massacre.
Ninth-Because the Prince OF Wales himself had
run away from them In Canada. and told their Grand
Master that he abhorred their works, deeds and
principles.
7enth- Because the whole business Is vile repub.
ltcan election trick.
Elprenth-Because no class OF foreigners in this
country should be allowed to insult, annoy and out
rage The feelings OF another class by party process
sions and party tunes
To Jth-Because those Protestant fellow country
men, Thomas Davis, John Mitchell, Henry Martin,
Theobald Wolfe Tone, glorious Robert Emmett and
the brothers Sheares Archibald Hamilton Rowan
and others equally stanCh IN the Protestant faith
have looked upon them as miscreants ana ScOun.
drels and believed that they should meet the fate OF
reptiles.
And finally, let them he tested II they should
march against the ord OF superintendent James j,
Keiso, VINO represents the lawfully constituted
thories OF this city, and who has mad hundreds Of
respectable citizens TO call on him TO thank him for
his course.
Let large box be placed OF the Washington
man who marches IN their ranks place on card his
name occupation and whether he Is citizen Of the
United States, and drop II into the box. venture
placed In that box. A WEXFORD MAN,
OF the town Of Newtownbarry.
