Citizens or Inhabitants-Mr. Johnston the Orange |
Leader, Makes Distinction. s
Mr.. William Johnston, Of Ballykilbeg,
member of the British Parliament for the |
town Of Belfast, Ireland, and, wa believe, |
tion of ireland, is now on visit to this
country. On Monday night. last week,
reception was given him by the Orange
men of New York, at tho Cooper Institute
In that city. In response to an address on !
Orangemen of New York "they were one
with those at homo in their feelings of at
tachment to those great and glorious prin.
ciples which had raised from insignificance
three islands across the Atlantic, and ele-
waited from a position OF wi'dness and bar
were citize ns-or, at least, Of sckich they
auere iahabitants."
We pass over the buncombe about "glori-
Qua principles" ETC., and call our readers
attention to the last clause in the above ex-
tract, which we have italicized. The
doughty Brtisher forgot himself for the mo-
ment, and made haste tn correct his blun-
der. He knOws we'll that Orangemen do
not, very generally, become citizene Of the
United States, but preserve their loyalty.

we desire to impress ON our American Pro-
testant readers. Orangemen have perfect
right, We admit, to remain here, dutaful
and loyal subjects of her Majesty Queen
Victoria, 30 long as they behave them
! egregiously they humbug the people BY
profession of american patriotism. The
fact is, your genuine Orangeman Ia con-
cerned simply with regard to the Protest.
ant succession to the British throne, and
the best interests of the American Repnb-
lie Excepting SO far as they concern MS ms
monetary prospects) are of com Paratiyeiy
little Importance to him. notwithstanding
all this, q handful of these rampant British
loyalsts put the city uf New York 10
large expense yearly, simply because t9ey
insist on insulting thousands OF Catnoiics,
perpetuate in that city the memory OF o
, foreign battle which gave ireland into the
, hands of her enemies. In. the Cdthont
Union, of July Is, we referred TO TINS
l fact, when, commenting on the orange pa
rade tiasco, We said: 1--WE feel well as
sured that, if the three hundred paraders o.
Friday last could have been brought tt
book not twenty. FIVE of them would de
\ clare that they are entitled to vote on cleo
= ton day. or that they owe, or ever lntent
to owe, allegiance to any government eA
In the Heralds report of the reception
J, given to Mr. Johnston (of Bally kibegl w
d read as follows: "Several banners indica
# tive of the principles and character of tn
8 Orange association we're to be seen in con
o spicuous positions. Purple arch men ant
i masters of lodges were scattered in varlou
Q parts of the hall, wearing scsrfs OF blu
. and yellow, and yellow and purple" l

I'd tory answer. American Protestant
u pointed out to us some trif1ing and unin
ID portant differences, but fIiled to meet GU
lie question 80 far as the principles of the o.
a. CARNATIONS are concerned. In his la
D. Communication, however, he said: TT
On only colors in the American Protestant A
u ISOLATION are red, white and blue, with OF

ut exceptional (purple) color struck us at IL
ng time as having some meaning in commt
al with Orangeism, and the above extra

III seems to think that trifing differences

err, American color; it is Distinguishing col
