Another uniform that attracted much, though not so favorable, attention was that of the Third New Jersey Cavalry, or First New Jersey Hussars, as they preferred to call themselves. The designer of the uniform must have had an interest in a curcuma plantation, or else he was a fanatical Orangeman. Each uniform would furnish occasion enough for a dozen New York riots on the 12th of July.
Martin was an Orangeman of rank. He had attained the Black Degree. It was whispered that he held all the loyal brethren of Riverina under the whip, by reason of his being the only man in the region beyond the Murrumbidgee who could confer the Purple Degree.
Men who had nothing in common were one in the spirit of faction; and all were determined that the Orangeman, whose funeral was fixed for this memorable Saturday, should be carried safely to his grave. Civic pride had almost become civic fanaticism in Lebanon.
But, in addition to this, when we also consider the natural temperament of the Irishman his social disposition his wit, his humor, and his affection all of which are lit up by liquor when we just reflect upon the exhilaration of spirits produced by it when we think upon the poverty, the distress, and the misery which too generally constitute his wretched lot, and which it will enable him, for a moment, to forget and when we remember that all his bargains were made over it that he courted his sweetheart over it got married over it wept for his dead over it and generally fought his enemy of another faction, or the Orangeman of another creed, when under its influence: when we pause over all these considerations, we can see how many temptations our countrymen had to overcome in renouncing it as they did; and we cannot help looking at it as a moral miracle, utterly without parallel in the history of man.
Jones's meadows, and had been told of the suspected conduct of Pat Carroll, he was as indignant as though he had himself been a landed proprietor, or even an Orangeman. And on Mr. Jones's part there was a desire to do justice to all around him, which came within the capacity of O'Mahony's vision. He knew that Mr.
What has fostered the Anti-Irish feeling among Irish Protestants for the last hundred years has undoubtedly been the fell system of Orangeism, which has caused so much hatred and bloodshed among men who, whatever their race or creed, are now children of the one common soil. The Orangeman looked upon himself as part of a foreign garrison, holding the "Papishes" in subjection.
"An' there'd be no reward for that man he but went about talkin'," said the Kerry man artlessly. "You speak by your breed," said Dan, with a laugh. "There was never a Kerry man yet that wudn't sell his brother for a pipe o' tobacco an' a pat on the back from a p'liceman." "Praise God I'm not a bloomin' Orangeman," was the answer. "No, nor never will be," said Dan. "They breed men in Ulster.
"Don't you know," added Poll, "that the thing can be done? Isn't the sheriff himself an Orangeman isn't the sub-sheriff an Orangeman isn't the grand jury Orange, aren't they all Orange through other?" "I believe so, indeed," said Mary, still weeping bitterly, "and there is, I fear, little or no hope." "Well, but," replied Poll, "what if I could give you hope?" "You, Poll, what can you mean? You!"
You say you want a farm on the estate; now, if you do, take my advice and become an Orangeman; you will then have a stronger claim, for my father always gives them the preference. "'By Lord Cumber's desire, Phil; but I shall be very happy, indeed, sir, proceeded Val, 'that is, provided you get an introduction for, at present, you will pardon me for saying we are strangers.
"Well, why don't you say upset, you horrible old Orangeman," she retorted. "I'm no Orangeman," he giggled at her. "I wouldn't own the name!" "You are. You are.
