 Orangemen of Kingston, known to its hononr aw the Derry of Canada, 
 Protestants without wavering and without doubt, holding with clear 
 mind and glowing heart the principles of the glorious Reformation, 
 bound, every one of you, by a most solemn oath to uphold, to defend 
 and diffuse against Romish pretensions and aggressions the most 
 precious liberties of the Christian faith given to us by God, wrested 
 from us by crafty and cruel men called priests, and fought for and won 
 — won forever — V)y the brave hearts of old whoso blood is ours, and the 
 avenging hand of a God of truth and righteousness ! listen to me to-day, 
 whom you have chosen to address you, that, with hearts stirred up by 
 rfwakened memories and souls set on fire us by a spark from heaven, you 
 may go forth from the prest'nce of God to the joyful celebration of the 
 Twelfth — that blessed day, never to be forfrottcii, on which William of 
 glorious memory crossed the Boyne. victorious champion of truth and 
 liV)erty. Listen to me as to a brother who, thouj^h he has not sub8cril>ed 
 to your oath nor wears your badges, is none the less n member of your 
 great and noble brotherhood, whose heart beats time with yours, whose 
 spirit and aim and oliject are yours, whose motto, immutable as the cry 
 of beleagured hearts in Derry, immutable as the very voice of God, is 
 that which is stamped upon — yea, burnt into — your natnres and the 
 natures of your children— "JVb surrender.^'' Listen to me as to a min- 
 ister of God, Protestant first and foremost, Presbyterian last and leiist, 
 who am bound by a vow as solemn as yours to br> true to Reformation 
 principles, to proclaim and defend fearlessly and fully, as occasion re- 
 quireth, papacy a fraud and al>omination, a slavery more degrading tlian 
 flesh and blood have ever been or can be subjected to, and the Rt»for- 
 roation, the voice of God saying again over a world this time sunk in the 
 midnight of ignorance, error, superstition and crime — "Let there be 
 light;'" and tl»e hand of God breaking by the hands of men bred in the 
 very heart of the foul despotism, as Saul in the Sanhedrim, the galling 
 fetters rivetted upon the bodies, minds and consciences of God's people; 
 and the mighty rushing wind of God's Holy Spirit purifying the pes- 
 tilential atmosphere, drying up the putrid streams and sprea<ling through 
 
\i- 
 
 Iniman hearts and homes and His blood-bonght Church the sweetnefls 
 and sunshine of heaven. 
 
 Orangemen, this too is the uenso of your existence and the work of 
 your life. Powerless is the hand that would draw the line of demarcation 
 between you and the Protestant Church. Vain and crafty is the attempt 
 to dig an impassable gulf between you and the mighty host of defenders 
 of the faith in the Church of the Reformation. You are the vanguard of 
 that mighty army, and held in honour by every valiant heart and trusted. 
 Hence the special hatred and dread that the enemy has of you; hence 
 the vituperation, execration and abhorrence that are continually poured 
 upon your order, but which now, as always, run off as rain from the 
 marble rock, leaving it as stable and fairer than ever. Stern necessity 
 gave you birth, banded you together in a purely defensive league to 
 uphold the Protestant faith and sceptre, to rally around your menaced 
 firesides with united purpose of heart and combined strength of hand. 
 Papists had to be taught that in the crewl of tlie Protestant was tha 
 divine decree, "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be 
 shed," and that the Protestant conduct wonld most assuredly be in 
 at!Cordance with his creed. Holland, the smallest of kingdoms, but the 
 most valiant among the nations of the earth, Protestant to its heart's core 
 in spite of persecutions the most atrocious, the most horrible that the 
 ingenuity of hell could devise, but in reward for which the Duke of Alva 
 was presented by the Pope with a jewelled hat and sword-a rare gift 
 conferred only u})on those who had merited most signal rewards by 
 most shining exploits, and in an ncicompanying letter written by the 
 Pope's own hand was re<[ue8ted to "remember when he put tlie hat npon 
 his head, that he was guarded with it as with ahelniet of riprhteouancss, 
 and with the shield of God's help, indicating the heavenly crown wliich 
 was ready for all princes who Kui)port the holy clnirch and the Roman 
 Catholic faith," and the motto on the sword ran as follows— in Latin of 
 course — but translated here— "Take tl>e holy sword, gift from God, in 
 whom you will arush the foes of my people Israel," — that Holland, not 
 crushed, but crowned with immortal glory, shares her national emblem 
 with you, the ancient badge of Nassau, the appropriate remembrancio of 
 that house, which through God delivered both Holland and Ireland and 
 the British empire from the yoke of spiritual and temporal desi)otism. 
 Orange ! Und<^r that name, civil and religious liberty secured to all, the 
 unity of the kingdom and the stability of the throne are safe. Oranges ! 
 From beneath that badge come no cries for dismemberment, for injtistice, 
 for oppression, for persecution, for war against society, for relwUion 
 against the constitution. Orange ! There are no deeds of outrage and 
 rapine, bloodshed and murder, no moonlighters, no dynamite, no re- 
 pudiatort, of just debts, under that name. Orange ! In all its history

 tlio Clnirob of tlio Roforrantion liaa nover liwl can«o to dononnoe its dotngn 
 or (Hhowii itH counectionH with it. It is not a home hmgno. a Funian 
 circle, or a Clan-na-Gael that the Protestant Church jj^ives birth to and 
 bringH up. Did not O'Connol know this and despair of ever oarrying 
 out his popisli and rebellious programme, either by intimidation or force, 
 in the presence of Orangemen banded together true in heart and strong 
 in hand ? Did he not at last feign sym|)athy with them, a<lmiration for 
 tiieni, and on every occasion usi; language regarding them the most 
 laudatory, or adulatory ? Yea ! did he not on a great public occasion 
 seize the Orange flag, tenr o\}fn his vest and j)re8s the hononre<l colours 
 to liis patroitic heart and the medal of the society to his truthful lips ? 
 Yen! in the enthusiasm of his newly awakened devotion <lid he not plunge 
 a glass into the Boyne at Niivan and (piaff the Iwiveragh in the famous 
 toast "The glorious, pious, and immortal memory of the great and good 
 King William, who saved us from popery, slavery, arbitrary jjower, 
 brass money, and wooden shoes ?" Doubtless, he received a promjjt and 
 full absolution from the sin if not a reward for truth and candour. Hut 
 tlie Orang<MU(>n were Orangemen still, proof against flattery as against 
 stei'l. Biiiti(>d and contemned by loyal men, did lie not traduce them as 
 disloyal and seditious, designing to alter the succession and to set aside 
 our present most gracious sovereign ? Did he not at last, through his 
 evil machinuHons and tlje help of traitors, secure tlie temporary disarma- 
 ment and disbandment of Orangemen'? All this you know. All this 
 let all men know. But let them know, too, that the Orangeman's prin- 
 ciple lives not in his ribbon, his pasMword, his sign ; cannot l)e uproot<Hl 
 and' thrown upon the dunghill even by royal hand, but lives in the 
 heart's blood — and lives in spite of all — till at the touclj of God that 
 heart ceases to beat. 
 
 Why so ? Because the principles of the Rt>formation are convictions, 
 and these are the principles of Oraugeism. Eternal convictions ! No 
 galleys, or bastile, or inquisitions, no rack or guillotine, or fire, or 
 flood, or sword, though jewelled an<l blest by a thousand popes, can 
 ever extir[)ate these convictions — this heresy of the Reformers and their 
 followers. Ail these have been tried. In the name of G(m1 they have 
 been tried. In the name of i)iety and of Jesus Christ, cruelties and 
 atrocities niore a])palling than any that ear hath ever heard of in lands 
 of heathen darkness, among the devotwss of beast^s an<l devils, have 
 been perpetrated for the extirpation of these convictions, but they live 
 — live more firmly rooted than ever, live with more al>undant life — live 
 in millions of hearts and rule men and kingdoms— yen, now rule the 
 world. 
 
 Tell me, Orangemen, that we live in fear, that we are seized with the 
 conviction that papacy is advancing upon us with stealthy, but with 
 
oonqnering trend, that the trnthH nf the Reformation are <1eoayinp^ and 
 tlie effoots and power of the Reformation are perisliing— that soon the 
 work of three oenturieH will be undone— and Protefitantifim in the oor- 
 rnption of the tomb and tliis epitaph written : "The d<ied of the devil!" 
 Ah soon tell rae and ank me to believe that the waters of Ontario are 
 flowing baok, leaping Niagara and rolling ttieir waves inw&rd, over the 
 Rockies to the Paoiflo : as well tell me and ask mo to believe that the 
 onlture and civilization, the religions sanctuaries and happv homes, the 
 fruitful fields and wealthy industries of this great dominion, on whose^ 
 infant face the smile of (i^od's favour is restinp:, are rushing back, and 
 will be lost to sight, sunk in the wildness and tangled masses of the 
 primeval forest, in the wif^wams of untutored Indians, in the coarseness 
 and brutality of heathen living, in the darkness and horrors of pn^^anism! 
 Popery can no more return and rule the world then paganism can. 
 
 Why, then, these eyes of sleepless vigilance, these voices as if of alarm, 
 this constant attitude of defiance— every man with his hand on the hilt I 
 For the very same reason and for no other that compelled the godly 
 and patriotic in the days of Nehcmiah, while raising the walls of their 
 holy temple, every one with one hand to work in the work, and with 
 the other hand to hold a weapon. Ijike Sanballat. and Tobinli, Arabians, 
 Ammonites, and Ashdodites, papists in all their multitudinous orders 
 are the »mtrn tvul resolute ohslmcUrcs of that miglity movement issuing 
 from the Word of God and divine, which gives every man mental and 
 moral and spiritual liberty lifting him uj) by no chnrchly or priestly or 
 human device or strength, bnt by the hand of Christ alone into the 
 family of God, sons free to fulfil according? to their conscience and Holy 
 Scripture the will of a Father God. They are the determined and un- 
 wearied hinderers of this (froat building up of human lives into the 
 divine, and we are the woH-em etfutiUi/ iletermineif that wo shall not bo 
 hindere<l, that our efforts shall not he relaxed, that if the trowel is not 
 allowed to do its part, then the sword will be unsheathed — a sword 
 blessed by God. 
 
 Protestantism as the divine truth must prevail, however malignantly 
 contradicted, and deceitfully handled, and stoutly opposed, and treacher- 
 ously undermined— must prevail over oil refined idolatries, and perverted 
 truths, and legendary absurdities, and doctrines of devils that stifle con- 
 science and dwarf and degnwle mankind — must prevail in spite of 
 statecraft, tortuous intrigue, base bartering, and manteuvering policy — 
 the weapons of to-day. Confidence in the right gives strength and 
 courage, and God guides, and increasing millions of hoarts o'er all the 
 earth cry out with emphasis that sends a shuddering fear through the 
 very heart of the Vatican, "No surrender." We, too, can speak in 
 Latin, if the Saxon tongue, like the Saxon lil^rties, must he suppressed,

 Orangemen ! if any of yon think that I am too nangnino of HuecoHa, 
 and am chming my rfyoH to the power and progreaa of the papacy, I ask 
 you to turn away your eyes from the convulHing extremities of the smit- 
 ten oarcasH, to Un head and heart rotting and dying disregarded, dis- 
 owned, scorned by tho very people tliat of all the peoples of the earth 
 we would have expected, from their intimate knowledge of ita heavenly 
 character, its benign and beneficient reign, to be true as steel to it — to 
 cling to it with fervency and undying devotion, though all men every- 
 where else should forsake it. Turn your eyes for a moment to the seat 
 of tho great apostacy, and w hat do you see ? Tho triple tiara, which 
 is assumed at the sound of these arrogant words, "Take thou the tiara 
 adorned with the triple crown and know that thou are the Father of 
 jirinces and of kings, and art the Governor of the world," and Wfore 
 which every crown in Europe used to be doflTed and lafd upon the ground, 
 now packed up to be seen no more in tho world till laid as an interesting 
 historic relic on the shelves of some antiquarian museum. What do you 
 see ? The honA of that arrogrant despotism which claimed and claims 
 to-day tho right to depose and set up princes as it wills, preparing to 
 leave that throne of usurpation and blasphemous tyranny on which for- 
 ever more tlie wrath of a holy and righteous God is resting — ami leave 
 tliat city — the metropolis of his pomp and pageantry, and the birthplace 
 of his impious and basely enslaving doctrines -with no blessing of 
 Roman Italians following him, and every gate ready to be }»arred forever 
 against his return. Judge not of the power of popery by what you may 
 see at the extremities of the body. The hand of God in Uiid upon the 
 head, und ifhsn/nfism it dead. The voice of tho Reformation htfc rung 
 through the halls of the Vatican as the voice of the dominant power 
 when Signer Zanardelli, Minister of .Justice, said recently in the Legis- 
 lative Chamber of Italy: "Tho state wishes to give equal liberty of 
 conscience to all, but ought also to determine to keep undamaged its 
 own prerogatives. It will always exercise great forbearance towards 
 the clergy, but it connot renounce its y)atriotic rights and duties. " Fancy 
 lilierty of conscience in Rome ! No wonder the Pope utters his jeremiads 
 and hastens to go. Omngemen, it is a liberty that will remain! Hear 
 this from the new penal code, passed -by an overwhelming majority in 
 the Clmmber of Deputies on the 9th of June of last year : "Any minister 
 of religion who shall, by writing or by i)reaching, or by conversation 
 in the confessional, or in the family, speak against the unity of the 
 
8 
 
 kiiigilom of Italy, shall be liable to fine, imprisonment, and dismissal 
 from office." Yet these are the very things the Pope enjoins his priests 
 to do. Italians and Roman Catholics, the whole nation, in direct oppo- 
 sition to the once mighty Roman pontiff, and the arm that once could 
 smite the mightiest is paralyzed ! 
 
 In a despatch of Mr. Odo Russell, from Rome, to the Earl of Claren- 
 don, dated February 8tli, 1866, we read : " Travellers visiting the Pope's 
 dominions should be very careful not to bring English, Italian, or other 
 Bibles with them, the Bible being strictly prohibited." To-day, not 
 only are the Holy Scriptures from the British and American Bible 
 Societies scattered through Rome and expounded without let or hind 
 ranee from Anglican, Presbyterian, and Methodist pulpits, but Italy 
 now publishes tlie Bible herself, and sends it througli her own aj/eucies 
 as the voice of liberty and life to all the dwellings in her lovely but long 
 darkened land. The liand of Ood hath done it ! The dogana of 
 Terraciua, the bayonets of Civita Yecchia, the sentry of the Porta San 
 Giovanni, the Swiss CJuards of the Vatican, the bull endorsed by the 
 papal Sanhedrim — yea, even the seal of the fishorraan availed naught to 
 stem the current of those eveiits wlich have rushed onward with re.sist- 
 lesH force in obedience to the will of God and to the foreshadowings of 
 Ilis ins])ired Word. 
 
 In June of last year the voice of joy and rejoicing rushed from every 
 houie and gondola, through evei'y canal and piazza of fairy Venice, 
 filling the cloudless sky, and sounding as the slumt of triumph over the 
 blue waves of the Adriatic and the Umbrian hills, to Pecclii on his piui- 
 tifical chair and his cardinal conclave round him, when the Communal 
 and City Councils of Venice resolved that in the Cami)o Foscala, on the 
 very spot reddened with his blood, .diould arise a national monnme.nt 
 to the undying memory of Paolo Sarjii. And who was he ? A i>riest 
 who in 1607 had the l)oldness to burst his fetters, and spake out of the 
 abundance of his ])atnotic heart, and with tongue and pen denounced 
 with vigour, and resisted with success, all Vatican interference with the 
 liberties of the Venetiaii republic ; and who, simply for asserting his 
 rights and the rights of his country, was, according to doc\imentary 
 evidence carefully preserved in the archives of the city, handed over by 
 the Pope and his abettors in crime to the stilettoes of marked assassins. 
 Do you hear his voice, for he being dead yet speaketh ? Listen, for he 
 knows with accuracy the life and work of those of whom he speaks ! 
 Listen, for no Protestant minister in the land .can give you and your 
 legislators sounder and more seasonable advi(!e than that Roman Cath- 
 olic i)rie8t — "the man whose eyes are open." What does he advise? 
 This : — " Thei'e h nothiny mm'e essential thdn to ruin the re}Hit<i(init of (he

 and laboured that his memory might rot ! Bnt in vain they laboured. 
 The grateful Venetians, In defiance of papal opposition, have canonized 
 and immortalized him, and the Vatican bites the dust. 
 
 Tiiree weeks ago all Rome was en fete; her streets were thronged with 
 
 rejoicing citizens and deputations from all the important cities of the 
 
 kingdom, and deafening cheers rang out and filled the air and penetrated 
 
 to the innermost recesses of the ])apal dwelling when the canva-ss drop- 
 
 •|)ed from the marble face of Giordiano Bruno. The syndic of Rome, 
 
 the government officials, senators and deputies crowded round the statue, 
 
 and an elocpient voice in eulogizing the dead declared that there was 
 
 born to them a new religion of free thought, and liberty of conscience 
 
 ■which would be worse for the papacy than the loss of temporal power.- 
 
 Who is tliis Bruno whom Rome and all Italy thus honour in the face of 
 
 the Pope ? Simply a native of Nola, the friend of such men as Sir 
 
 Philip Sydney and Greville, who dared to think for himself and to 
 
 wnte his thoughts, and who for suoli a heinous crime was handed over 
 
 to the imiuisition at Rome and at command of an infallible pope was 
 
 burnt alive on the Campo do Fiore on the 17th Febniary, IfiOO. " Such," 
 
 says the Latin historian Scioppius, who witnessed the martydora, "is 
 
 the manner in which we at Rome deal with impious men and monsters 
 
 of such a nature." The manner of dealing with such men is now 
 
 changed, aud all Rome and Italy, to the disgu«t and grief of Pope Leo 
 
 XTII., bless and honour to the utmost of their power the name cast out 
 
 as a heretic and a reprobate, and the man whom Po^)e Clement VIII. 
 
 cursed and burnt as a monster. Anathemas, excommunication.s, once 
 
 the fulminations of heaven and the terror of human spirits, are now 
 
 threatened and hurled, and Romans reganl them as much as they do tlie 
 
 benedictions. 
 
 In June of this current year King Humbert I. presented 5,000 framis 
 to the Church of the Waldenses celebrating the Bicentary of the 
 Glorious Return, and along with the royal gift this significant letter: — 
 "The event which is so justly the cau.se of exultation to many citizens 
 who have set the example of manly virtues is also hailed with joy l)y 
 our king, who knows well the steadfa-st devotion of the Waldenses to 
 the house of Savoy. This devotion to the dynasty, accompanied by 
 warm love to their country, has supplied to Italy brave soldiers, and 
 deeply attached sous and daughters. His Majesty testifies what are his 
 sentiments towards this devoted people by the accompanying gift." 
 
 Need I ask yon who were, who are the Waldenses ? At the very 
 mention of their name does not your blood course hot through every 
 vein and artery, and your heart burn and bound with admiration of the 
 truest heroism, purest devotion to truth and Christ, the saintliest living

 and suhlimeat faith this enrth hath ever seen ? That peopie from tho 
 morning of the Church till now clinging to apostolic simplicity of doc- 
 trine, as limpet to tho rock ; whom Pope Pins IV. — wliat a misnomer ! 
 — butchered to his heart's content in their Christian homes in Calabria ; 
 wliom Pope Paul III., of brutal nature, ordered the Pivrliament of Turin 
 to persecute throitghou*) the valleys of Piedmont and the Alpine heights 
 as the most pernicious of all heretics; whom Pope Clement VIII. — 
 clement indeed !— for the preservation of the papal authority, and in 
 honour of all the saints, and the ceremonies of the Chnreh of Rome, 
 robbed of their children, murdered, and cast with their dancrerous 
 Bibles into the flames ; whom Pope Alexander VII. . by the sword of 
 Savoy and brigades of Irish, did his utmost to exterminate, shrinking 
 from no atrocities, till all England shook wibli horror, burned with 
 indignation, swore to avenge if the hand of the persecutor was not 
 instantly removed, and poured from every hamlet and town heart 
 sympathy and generous aid to the poor driven mangled creatures — re- 
 member Milton's sonnet, the prayer of Prot-estant Britain shot hot to 
 heaven and long since answered !— 'that people every letter of whoso 
 history was written in blood and every step of whose heavenward march 
 was through the fiery furnace, till at length that same heroic spirit that 
 shed his blood for you on the banks of ti»e Boyne, and crossed that 
 stream the restorer of your civil and religious rights and liberties, even 
 William of Orange, received for them on February 8th. 1G91, the right 
 to live, to think, to worship God according to the dictates of conscience 
 and the teaching of holy writ ; that })eople, the Waldenses, are now 
 ...malted by God, while the ])apacy is aba.sed, and the voice of no seer is 
 needed to declare that God in His own good time will mak«* the once 
 persecuted and almost annihilated Chtirdi of the Waldenses the Church 
 through the rest of time of a liberated evangelical Italy. 
 
 Look at that man who,' wherever he goes, in Rome or tlironghout all 
 Italy, is followed by crowds of Italians, listening as for their \iio., that 
 they may learn a religion they can believe in. Who is he ? and what 
 does he say ? He is Enrico de Campello, who for conscience sake has 
 sacrificed a splendid ecclesiastical career, thrown down his canonry of 
 St. Peter's at the feet of the Pope, and walked forth into liberty with 
 no venomous smirching over his character, wonderful to relate ! He is 
 telling the thousands of Italians that hang on his eloquent lips that ho 
 has left the Vatican because he was weary of hypocrisy and slavery ; 
 because therein it was utterly impo.ssible for him to be both a true 
 Christian man and a loyal subject of the king. He is urging them to 
 drive the papacy from their consciences, and minds, and hearts, and 
 homos, and to rest not satisfied till they have chased the vampire from 
 every corner of their country. He is entreating them to put Clirist in 
 
ppp

 the placft of tho Pope and the blesso<l Gospel in the place of the Sylla- 
 bus ; to fear God and honour the king ; and a.s he speaks there bursts 
 from his immense audience deafening applause, and the reiterated cry 
 is heard far away — "We will." 
 
 Shall I speak of others? of Girolamo Savonarola, John the Baptist, 
 in a generation of vipers, who simply for favouring democracy and in- 
 veighing against the corruptions of the clergy, against whom not a 
 shadow of political crime was proved, on whose private character not a 
 stain was detected, who, as George Eliot most truthfully says, "not l)e- 
 cause of his sins but because of his greatness, not because he sought to 
 deceive the world, but because he sought to make it noble," was at the 
 command of Pope Alexander VI., the wickedest of the popes, and that 
 means wickedness in the superlative degree, shattered on the rack, 
 strangled, and burnt to ashes in Florence on the 23rd May, 1498 ! 
 Shall I say that to-day no name is more fragrant to the Florentines and 
 no memory more lovingly cheri.ohed ; that throughout all Italy Savon- 
 arola is regarded as one of her noblest and best sons sacrificed on the 
 altar of malice and envy ? No. I have said enough to show you that 
 where the papacy is known best, where she Livs fulfilled her own sweet 
 will the longest, where her seat has been from the beginning, she has 
 lost all power, temporal and spiritual ! she is nothing. That liberty 
 wherewith Christ maketh his people free is now the sweet and precious 
 po.ssession of Italy. It has cast down deep its roots, and it is developing 
 as it must into the beauty and eternity of Protestantism, life religious 
 from within, and one with Christ's in its manifestation to the world. 
 
 lint, Orangemen, to the last gasp papacy will not cease to disturb the 
 nations of the earth an<l pervert the ways of the Lord. Wherever her 
 cloven hoof is seen there are contention and strife, pride and arrogance. 
 She will not be quiet, she cannot be, unless npon the throne and the 
 rod of iron in her hand and her hoof on the neck of Prot^stanism. That 
 pl)antom she ceases not day and night to pursue; that golden dream 
 she seeks with unwearied energy and unremitting exertion, and chiefly 
 by fawning flattery and blandishment, the tactics of the spider with the 
 fly—to reali;;e. One stratagem she has found to be not altogether with- 
 out success, that suggested by Baalam to Balak, king of Moab — .seduc- 
 tion through their daughters of the sons of Israel. But we have often 
 observed that the delirium of such men is short, and that they come to 
 themselves, and find to their consternation and disgrace that, like Samson 
 from the lap of Delilah, they are shorn of their strength, Knowing 
 their tactics, be not entangled again with the yoke of bondiige. 
 
 On all sides of your social, political, and religious life she meets you, 
 cozens you lo crush you. Which way you turn or look throtighout 
 your glorious Protestant empire, glorious and blest preeminently by 
 
la 
 
 God above the nations of the earth, bocatiae she is Protestnnt, yon find 
 her asking for toleration, then equality — then unilerinining the consti- 
 tution and grasping the sceptre. Lord Palmeraton said with trnth: 
 " Wherever the Roman Catholics have gained a preponderance there the 
 ntmost of intolerance is invariably the practice. In countries wliere 
 they form a minority they demand not only toleration, bnt equality, 
 bnt in countries where they predominate tliey allow neither toleration 
 nor equality." But why quote Lord Palmerston or any one else, when 
 in addition to the mighty voice of deeds we hoar the infallible Pope 
 himself, Pius IX., declaring so recently as December 8th, 1864. that the 
 following are deadly errors : " /« the present day it is nn Inmier expedient 
 that the Catholic religinn sIuiU he held aA the rmly relifjinn of the statfi to the 
 exclusion of all other modes of worship ; whence it has been wisely provided 
 by law, in some countries called Catholic, that pei'sons cnming to rmide therein 
 sliall enjoy the public exercise of their worship." Ponder these words and 
 say whether toleration granted to such a sect is not fraught with danger 
 to the liberties of those who grant it ? Yet it is granted moat fully 
 wherever that sect is in the minority. I know no Protestant country 
 where toleration alone is granted, but where equality in its length and 
 breadth is given as of right to all irrespective of religious belief. But 
 I know no Protestant country in the world where Roman Catliolica have 
 been satisfied with toleration or equality. They must be the dominant 
 party, and this, according to their changeless creed, and the order of 
 their infallible head. 
 
 Perhaps there is no country in the world whej'e they have been com- 
 pelled to be quiet and at least to appear satisfied with the dower of equal 
 rights than in Presbyterian Bcntland. It takes a long time to silence 
 the voice of our martyrs — to dry up their precious blood— to dim the 
 lustre of the birthright their bravery and unswerving allegiance to truth 
 and conscience bought for every son and daughter of Scotland. It is 
 impossible to live in a land where the spirits of the heroic dead clmsed 
 in their shroud of blood to the side (tf Christ seem hovering over you in 
 every church and churchyard, in every burn and river and loch, in every 
 glen and strath and mountain side ; where the voices of those that In 
 the might of God snapped the fetters and set the "aptive free forever 
 seem to fill the air and st^r the soul and pour their nature of loyalty to 
 God and country through you. it is impossible to live and breathe in 
 such an atmosphere and not feel that in giving equality to Roman Cath.- 
 olics you are indeed giving as God gives to all of us, luyt accordinrf to 
 their dese^'ving, and that domination there they can never obtain. They 
 know it, and are hopeless. 
 
 Here in this fair Province, tliis gi-eat Dominion, this valued jewel in 
 the British crown — for it is valued — things are far otlierwise. Thev lift 
 
l:^ 
 
 Tip thoir voico in lond iissertion and arrognnoe ; thoy mako tlio most 
 andacioua claims and inroa<ls on tho righta of othora ; they obtrude their 
 roli(C(i()ijs ritos in every conceivable form n{)on us ; they seek by mediieval 
 pomp and half-pagan ])apentry and self-assumed titles to overwhelm us 
 ■with a sense of tlieir divine majesty. They at every turn and through 
 every government are forcing their way to ascendancy. 
 
 And why is this ? Because the voice of Protestantism has not been 
 ronnd and clear and emphatic, and the policv of conce-ssion, l>egot by 
 party exigence and distrust of each other's fidelity to Protestant prin- 
 ciples, has been adopted and systematically carried out, instead of tho 
 invincible voice of Derry, "Nrf SuiTender." 
 
 Surely at long last the culmination of that system has been reached, 
 when Jesuitism, the fiercest head of the hydra, speared from every 
 country in the world but Egyptian Ireland, has been incorporated as a 
 useful and desirable society in the Dominion, and handsomely endowed 
 out of the nation's purse. At long last the voice of Protestantism has 
 been raised, and Protestants have been shaken from their guilty policy. 
 From every (juarter all over the land, from Halifax to Victoria, denun- 
 cifttion.s liave been hurled against the governments, botli the Conservative 
 and the Liberal. 
 
 Orangemen, the government is the creation of the country. It must 
 carry out the will of the peo])le, and had the will of the people been 
 clearly pronounced on this policy^ no government would have dared to 
 act against it. Denounce yourselves. The blame is your own, every 
 particle of it. You have been Prqlestants winking at every concession 
 to insatiable papacy, privately bewailing it as a political necessity, or 
 with fleeting fln.sh of indignation protesting and threatening retaliation, 
 but when election day came all these concessions and fervent protesta- 
 tions and threats wei*a buried in oblivion, and rancorous partyism 
 stifled your Protestanism. and the same chariot rolled on, with the Pope 
 on the box and your governments in the traces. But, thank Ood, there 
 is now such a firm planting of the foot, and such a bold attitude of 
 determined resistance, that no doubt is left lingering in the mind of the 
 dullest that tho brake has at last been ]>ut upon the wheel ; that the 
 government understands that henceforth and forever there caq be in 
 Canada only a Protestant government, inasmuch as the heart of Canada 
 believes that a Protestant government alone can maintain intact tho 
 civil and religious liberties of the people, the integrity of the empire, 
 the prerogatives and honour of the crown. 
 
 You Orangemen at Goderich, the Citizens' Convention at Toronto, the 
 Methodist Conferences, the Anglican Synods, and the General Assembly 
 of the Presbyterian Church cannot be set aside by any cabinet, whether 
 Conservative or Liberal. Your statesmen understand vou now. and 
 
14 
 
 very thankful they wonlil be if only they conld find a way of undoing 
 their ngly deeds. Your enemy understandH you and fears. 
 
 Jesuits are no terror to us. We fear them no more than the Prime 
 Minister of Canada fears them. We know them, their oath, their 
 artifices, their morals, their ends. Their history will be repeated. 
 They will be foiled, and lieaten, and driven from our midst as the emis- 
 saries of satan ; but we are determined that, knowing them, wo shall 
 not exemplify the fool, and grant permission, and inve.st them with 
 power to harass and annoy and hinder us in the diflfusion of the pure 
 gospel of Jesus Christ, tJie only and all-suflicient Saviour and one Me- 
 diator between (Jod and man, and so retard for centuries tlie true pros- 
 perity and glory of the land and the coming of the Kingdom of Christ. 
 
 Orangemen ! all you Protestants in the full enjoyment of the civil an<t 
 religious liberties, the birthright of the glorious Reformation, bo true 
 to the Reformers, be true to yotir consciences, and be implicitly obedient 
 to the apostolic precept — " Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Chri.'«t 
 maketh His people free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of 
 bondage." 
 
 GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. 
 
 On returning to Victoria Hall the following resolution was passed : — 
 
 ''Jiesolred, — That the thanks of the Orange- 
 men of Kingston are due and are hereby given 
 to the Rev. Mr. Mackie. pastor of St. Andrew's 
 Church, for his very able and instructive ser- 
 mon, being, as it were, in direct harmony with 
 the principles of the Orange Association."
