It might have been said to have been the only ideal truly national, in that it endeavoured to unite, and in many cases did unite, Nationalist and Orangeman, and did this to such an extent as to threaten to drain both parties, and consequently incurred their jealousy.
Phil's a brother Orangeman, and my tongue is tied no doubt I'll be expelled for knocking these two scoundrels down, but I don't care; it was too bad and too cruel, and, let the upshot be what it may, Gordon Harvey is not the man to back a scoundrelly act, no matter who does it, or who orders it."
"'You can take it from me, says the inspector, 'and I'm an Ulster Orangeman at that, there isn't a man on the force to-day could have done better, and he shook the Father's hand again. "Maybe," concluded Jimmy, "nobody'll ever want to shake my hand after my first speech, and give me praise, but I'll do the best I can, anyway."

'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.
The character and feelings of Mr O'Joscelyn were exactly those which the earl had attributed to Mr Armstrong. He had been an Orangeman , and was a most ultra and even furious Protestant.
