To the Editor of the Globe.
LAKE CITY. Mimi, Nov. 1O.-Like
many others, II have with a good dead of
interest read your exposure of the So
called s. p. AS. The GLOBE deserves
the thanks of every American for its
exposure. If the leading papers of the
United States would do as the GLOBE
has done in this instance, we would
soon see the end of this foreign pest.
First Of al. am compelled to express
my establishment at the Idea of any in
tellIgent American to so far forget his
manhood rs TO permit himself TO be
made the scapegoat of that Infamous
Orange band holstereu up by the great
est enemies this republic ever had, 1.-The
English Tories"
You may ask what proof have we that
the leaders of the \. P. AS are Orange
men? F!rst-lt is not possible that os-
tracism of their fellow citizens could
originate in the breasts of patriotic
Americans.
SecOndly-It IS a Well-known fact the
world uTer that it has been the leading
tactics with the English Tories the past
three hundred years to array the Irish
people against each other OH religious
grounds. For who does not know that
in the absence OF such jealousies the
English flag would not float under the
troubled skies of unfortunate Ireland
forty-eight hours? The fact that the
sympathy OF the American people has
gone out 10 the Irish nation In their
struggle for liberty no doubt has had
something TO do with bringing these
ranting 0rangemen to the front AZ this
time.
OTangeism is political. not a relig-
lous, organization in Ireland.
God is Its second delights peculiar
sort Of God; but its deity Is the tinsel of
the English crown. 1t is dull, savage.

Iglon as 1t Is gr0yeling in politics.
The man who prefers to be slave
must necessarily combine in his mental
and moral being the characteristics of
worse than involuntary serfdom in
which has persisted many a noble intel
lect.
Let ne give you an American illustra-
ton OF an Irish Orangeman.
In the days of American slavery there
were two classes Of slaves in the South
who almost held themselves aloof-the
slaves who lived in the cities and who
often were half-free by "hiring their
own time, and the negroes W no worked
Oh the plantations. The town slaves,
III order 10 ingratlate themselves with
the whites. referred contemptuously to
the plantation hands as 'dem country
niggeFs." The whites. of course, when
they spoke of those colored Shauneens
who dropped the O'S and the Macs in
their own way-referred 10 them as
''these town niggers." For no man VINO
IS ashamed OF his own race is respected
by any race. Tue Orangemen want to
separate themselves from their race and
therefore they earn the hearty contempt
OF ali free Peoples.
They are the town niggers'' of Ire
land.
