To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
SO much excitement has been created within the
past week, So many lives lost and many innocent
persons injured through the fundamentally OF a few
hundred nti-Amercans, sworn adherents TO the
British throne, calling themselves arrangement that
IL might be right here TO step IN with few words Of
history TO show that these noisy impostors claim
victory TO which neither they nor their ancestors
had any claim whatever. There are two
classes OF Orangemen IN this city who make
their livelihood ana trade out OF the orange. The
one Is the honest pedler who stands at his stall and
dspOses OF his fruit at fair price, while the other,
is oneiwh0 pretending to show orange, would take
credit for an article which Il not his own. Let me
'bOunce" the point AZ once, Mr. Editor. The
Oraugemen. 80 caed-I mean the clasi known a.

Old Dutch that gained It.. 1t was that same old
stock that iirst peopled the present city OF New
York that won the battle of the BoYne. so anda-
clously claimed by those fellows of last 18th Of July
celebrity.
why, their great pet 10 whom was toasted "the
pious and immortal memory was genuine Dutch
man, and was assisted by Count S0lome's Dutch
Blue Guards, 1000 strong, reputed the best infantry
regiment IN the world at the time: rne Prince had
also the Brandenburgers. French Huguenots, under
CalemOtte, anu Danes under Colonel Cats. Never
chronclers confess he mad naught TO show after tho
victory, while the same authorities say that his loss
In Killed ana wounded nearly eoua!ed that OF the

Now, sir again: those fellows who created
much trouble desire to show orange colcrs orange
glOves-evcrvihing orange-in honor oil the Prince
AMI immortal, &c; aud yet history shows that
Prince William himself. at the battle OF the BOvne,
chose green for his cOlors, and every man on his
side ordered TO wear a green Dough or sprig
In his hat. Ought not these facts lie conclusive to
snow the anlmus of the dsturbers Of our cty2 Their
organization has nothing TO do with historical
events with the victories or deeds of nnrd.lought
fields, from which they would ny like chan before
the wind, rs they did when the American Union re-
CURED soldiers Tor It's defence, ana wlcn they saved
themselves beneath the overspreading mantle or the
British consul. No, ST.; they have nothing To do
with ANYTHING characteristic or heroism or valOr.
Their institution Is but the ilegtimac offspring OF
an egltiinate desire to hurt the country which un-
fortunately gave them br,h. to suppress all freedom
OF religion or thought and even lur her. TO massacre
the priest OF any people opposed ~ their own bloody
tenets
1t has long been the diplomacy OF the British gov

local irOull as may be surnised from the article
In the LOn'ion Times OF last Thursday.
If Governor Hoffman persists IN protecting Eng.

brating event the LIST Of July the day which
the battle fought. ana not on tic I.th OF July,
