It is the cry of humanity against the cruelty of unâ€" necessary and unavailing blood- shed; it is the protest of christi- anity against fratricidal slaughter; it is the demand of civilized na- tions that their interests and happi- ness shall 'not be sacrificed to gra- tify the ambition or pride of a go- vernment, aiming at sovereign authority, but unable to subdue its Never was inter- ventionâ€"peaceful intervention, of coursewbut peaceful intervention carried to its Widest limits, more. present American war. The great. industrial populations of the fore- most nations of the world are over- whelmed with distress and fast in- creasing ruin,’ by like consequences of lhc war. This alttnc, although it may have a selfish feature in it, is a most just motive for mediation. It is the principle which makes sell-preservation the first. law. ~ lVa- ,jsfied that tions are justified in combining and using their influences-and. powers to protect themselves against any evilâ€"~against pesti- lenceâ€"against foreign aggression upon their territories‘or their rights and libertiesâ€"against war of every kind that endangers the public safety, or the happiness ofmankind, or those great interests on which the prosperity of a people depends. But we maintain that a still higher principle commands the duty of intervention. A noble re- public, founded and built up by a great and civilized peoplenkin- dyed to ourselves in blood and lan- guage and religion, is desolating its lands with civil war and ter- rible slaughter, and madly hurrying itSelf into hopeless ruin, blinded by passion and a false View of its in- terests and duty. \Vc admit the right of every government to put down rebellion in its dominions, if that can be done without disturbâ€" ing the peace or injuring the inte- rests ofthe world. This right has been fully recognized and scrupu- lously acted upon by England and France, although the relations be- tween thc Southern and Northern States are widely different from those of subjects and rulers, and row scmble, both in the diverse condi- tion and interests of the belligerent parties, and the principle on which their institutions and their union are founded, those of free and so- vereign states. But the North has failed in all the conditions which entitle a people or a government to dominion. Slavery, condemned by the principles ofthe constitution and the spirit of Northern institu- tions, was one of the causes of the war; yet the North had not the moral power to discourage nor the political energy to destroy slavery. lts authorityâ€"«its right to rule the South has been resisted, and it has not, after ample time and opportuv nityâ€"â€"with brave men and abund- ant resources at its command. been able to subdue that resistance. In the very outbreak of this rebellion, which triumph and success have exalted into a revolution, the power claiming the right of sovereignty over what it termed its rebel sub- jects~â€"sufforcd an overwhelming. ymaafia.fand ignominious defeat bv those The ‘Twelfth’. at; subjects; and now again, after .._... many inonllis Of conflict, slunghterfiamunnm; last being the anniver- iiiitl political and inilitai‘y blunder- ing, their finest arroyaâ€"thcir ablest generals have been signally frus- trated, and defeated", and comâ€" pelled to retreat,“ with'a frightful sacrifice of life, before those same rebel subjects. In the face of such evidence, we maintain that mediation on the part of the greatEuropean powers is a sacred duty. There is in the history of nations a period when defence or resistance becomes madâ€" ness, and when men, blinded by the passion for conquest or triumph, invite' their ruin. The people of the North are fast approaching this catastrophe. Their public debt will, before long, exceed that of any of the old European mon- archies; blOodshed will fill their Cities with woe and desolation; their institutions must succumb to a military dictatorship, or be shat- tered to pieces by civil war; and for the more object of sustaining a political theory, the great principle of popular government and the brightesr hopes of freedom be sacri- ficed or indefinitely postponed. These are the causes that justify mediatiouâ€"-â€"not alone the prospe- rity of the commercial and indus trial classes of Europeâ€"â€"but also the salvation of the republic, the permanency of its best institutions, and the lives and virtues of its citi- zons. No doubt. it will end in the final recognition of the Southern States by the mediating powers. ltis simply as their leading jour- nals suggestâ€"~51 question of time. But the divorce under the circumâ€" stances will be as advantageous as it is inevitable. It will hasten the end of slaveryâ€"for slavery can .only be maintained. by extension. Confined to a limited territory; standing alone, undisguised in its hideous deformity and darkness; hearing all its own moral respousi bilities before an enlightened civi- lizationâ€"~it must then perish. It will remove all that responsibility â€"all the reproach and difficulties of slavery from the North, A na- tion of nobler aspect and purer spi- rit will rise and spread from ocean to oceano-wiser from its errors and disastersutaught by EXperience that liberty has it duties as well as its privileges, and that that is the best governmcnlrwhicli is able to enforce obedience to the laws which the people have the power to make. We believe that these are the sentiments cherished in secret by tens of thousands ofthe best. citizens ' â€"â€"thc most intelligent and patriotic of people of the north. This terri- ble civil warâ€"â€"destitute of glory- has brought only mourning antl poverty to them; and they would hail with gratitude the. mediation which would bring them that pt'aC;‘. they so much desire, but which the tyranny of public opinion forbids them to ask.

Master, .sary» oi the ‘ Battle of the Boync,’ the Orangemen of Markham Dis- trict celebrated the day at Stoul‘f- ville. Early in the day the mem- bers of the different lodges were observed wendingr their way to the rendezvous, clad in their regaliae- and with their colours flying.” Dinner was served by Mr. It. Knill in first rate style, which the breth- ren and visitors did ample justice to. About? o‘clock the different lodges formed in procession, and marched, headed by bands of music â€"â€"including the file and drumâ€"- through the principal streets in the village. At the head of the pro- cession was thc’marshal of the day on a splendid white charger. At the head of each lodge a banner was carried, and after the standasd bearer came the master carrying the warrant, with the chaplain, and the members of the lodge merch- ing tvvo and two. ' They marched to a field prepared for the Occasion, Where a platform had been erected, and from which the speakers were to address the assembly. The Deputy District Master, Mr. H. R. Wales. came forward on the plat- form and introduced the speakers, and said he was happy to congra- tulate the Oiangemen of Markham had made, and the. orderly manner in which the proceedings of the day had been conducted, be hoped that no not would be committed to mar the celebration or throw dis~ credit on the order. He then called upon Brother J. A. Oves to address the assembly, who saidâ€"- \IVorsliipful Sir, Ladies, Gentlemen and Brother Orangcii‘icn, I rejoice in this 0p- tliat glorious victory at the Boyne, which secured to chry subject of the British empire the rights of a freemanâ€"esta- blished that noble constitution of which every Britain proully hoists, because it is the basis of every constitutional govern- ll'lt‘tll in the world. that on this day I have anbpportunity of meeting a larger number of my brethren than at any other time: and although a great [Dallyfllllltlgs have been said about Urangeisin, yet a good Story cannot be too often told ; :and using the words of the in spii‘ed apostle l’elei‘, ‘ i will endeavor to stir up your minds by way of remembrance. though you know these things, and are established in them.’ But,hreth'en,l have also an opportunity of addressing a con. siderablc number who are yet without the pale of our Assoaiaiion; and I will endea- vor to answer a few of tlic‘objectiou- which are most generally raised against our society. lint, brethren, in order to answer those objections, I will, in the first I rejoice, brethren, place. notice the cause of Ui'angiiisni; second, its O‘lljcct; and third, the duties and obligations imposad upon us by llelll‘."

This sad mark of human depravity has deluged our World with blood ever since the period abovo named down to the present day. It is that en- mity between the serpent and the seed of the woman, manifesting itself in every age and nation, assuming various names, but baring the same spirit. But some say we do not need Orangeism in Canada. It might be all very well in former llmt‘S,lltll we live iii peaceable times, and therefore we think it should not be continued. If the opponents of Protestantism had no part or lot in the country, we would not be un- der any necessity to keep up the Orange ()Jler. but instead of that being the case, the ,Oppmients of our principles are filling every corner of Upper Canada as well as Lower Canada, With their institutions; . t ‘ . - . 1024i (Jabhel, and ' and more cgiinot one semen of the proâ€" vuhqial parliament pass over without its “me being wanted) and the money of the province expended in granting to that "suitable hierarchy 'some new COI'pOt‘allOll or endowment.

In the se cond place I Will make a few observations on the end or object of Crangcism; and as Orangeism was caused by persecution. its end or object is to secure to evory man civil and religious liberty. But some say ‘ we do not need Orangeism to secure our liberty. The government is able to do that, and we can turn the members of it adrift if they fail in doing so.’ I answor. the [lOWc'l'llll governineu‘: of Great Dritaio , was unable to protect the Protestants of} Ireland from the broad day robber of life. and property, or the iiiidii‘ight assa-‘Sin ~â€" Llut suppose the governi’ni-‘nt to have. the, ability. be it to want the will; supposing: the majority of the men composing the government to be hostile to your senti- isicnts, do you think they would be ready ‘ v: .4..' flier employ the powers of government for your destruction; But, says. another, the Orangemen are only f'ew,.‘in; compari- son to those Who are not. It is'ftruethéy are few, but they are a chesen few; they are the soldiers of Jehovah, Jesus, and under the leadership of the Great Captain of our salvation we go forth sure of sno- cess. Gideon had but 300 by whom he was to deliver Israel, and the 13 appren- tice boys clo:cd the gates ofDerry in the lace of the imperial army of James It..-â€" ~Gideon’s 300 conquered, and the gates of Derry were kept shut: until they were opened to receive the troops of King William, earning for that city the title of ‘ Maiden City,’ and earning for its gallant defenders an ii'nperishable nameâ€"their heroic deeds will be handed down as an exuttiple of patriotism and devotion un’ paralleled in history to the latest of pos terity. Now, brethren, if the dark cloud of tyranny and persecution should again rise on our political horizon, and our civd and religious liberties be denied as, as they have been to our forefathers of yore, the tidings would fly, like the subti.e fluid on its oirey pathway, from one end of our land to another, and the sound of our im- perishable watchwmd, ‘No SUrreiider.‘ would revibei'ate from one hundred thou- sand vetoes. “7e have hitherto maiiitaiii~ fear God, tells us also to honor the King. ‘ But there isa limit. to loyalty,even among ()rangeinenâ€"the moment our chief ma- gistrate disowns the Protestant faith, that moment We are released from our obligaâ€" tion of loyaltyâ€"~were it otherwise our forefathers in resisting James II. would have resisted Divine authority. We nei- ther court the favor nor fear the fi‘0wn of any government. \Ve know that our as” socialion is constitutional, and therefore we fear not.

For his own part, as he .drove along through the dust, he could not help thinking what a very disagreeable thing it must be to be a Clear film. He felt the grit of the sand in his eyes, and teeth, and face, and hair; in fact he was grit all over, but not in hislieart or his principles. Hts gi'itlism was only super- ficial, just enough to experience what a nuisance it was, out be was thankful he could easily get rid of it more easily than the real Clear Grit, who to procure relief had to look to Washington, While he had only t; hate recourse to Wash handmaâ€" son.

He hoped that they might long be spared the horrors of war, but; they might depend upon it that any battle in which Orange- men were cmiccriied would be no sham one, when they fought it would be in earâ€" nest, and ‘somehody would be liurt.’-â€" l‘liey would always be found standing foremost in defence of their noble Queen, the British Constitution, and the Protts tant religion. In support of these princi- |iles they would always rally round their colors, of which they would never be ashamed; and talking of their colors, he had seen it stated that the Yankees were ,going to borrow one from the Orangemeii ~â€"-the Blueâ€"40 dress their army in, for it was a color that would stand well, and did not run. (Cheers and laughter.) There was at present more need than eVer of firmly maintaining Protestant principles, especially when they had lately seen those who called themselves the friends of re- form and opponents of French Roman Ca tholic domination, selling their principles for the sake ofoffice.

It is rather strange that the Northern press still preâ€" sists in Circulating reports that the South- ern army is dciiwializcd and almost in a state of starvation,--â€"â€"wlit-n at the some time they have fer-cod the Northern army. that has cost millions of dollars to put it in the field, to seek protection under the guns of their fleet of guii-l‘matsâ€"â€"un army lll‘dl everything that science could suggest and a lavish expenditure could procure to render defeat iinpos~ihle,â€"~and at this day twenty miles from Iiichinund.

The army, through deaths, wounded- ands-ickness, be mg so reduced, the government have been (:uiiipelled' to "Mike a; Call for another three hundred thousand men, and it is generally supposed a draft will have to be resorted to,â€"â€"-the “ phlt'lt)lislii” having failed to keep time with the demands of the go- verninoiit. . ' In a former letter I mentionedlhat a people who could raise an army of three or four hundred thousand men, could have a very small amount of union sentiment lift, and I think the facts that are now transpiring in the South, where the Northern army have possessmn, New Or- leans, Norfolk, &.c., fully sustains my as sertion. , The ruinous effect of paper money, is becoming every day more apparent. Gold and silver is going rapidly out of circula tion, and being bought‘up by brokers, the former at 17 per cent. and the latter at 10 per cent premium; and “ shinplasters” are being used instead for change. When the London Times and Russell. “ our corres- pondent,” told the citizens of the United States, that they Were eniharkii'ig in a speculation that would in due time bring on a great financial crisis, they Were twit- tcd as being " alarmists,”. "false pro- phets,” &c., and they were told that they l knew nothing of the resources of the loyal north, but now their ideas are being reali- zed. Every One is debating the best means of pt‘Octli‘ittg a substitute for silver that is so fast disappearing. ' Where must this end if the north pre- sist in carrying on this war? The press here admit that McClellaan’s retreat has prolonged the war another year, and that it will cost anothcrfive hundred million dollars. What iftlid North should happen to take lticliiiiond I that will not end the war, and what will become of the boasted “ De- claration of Independence” that is read at every street corner on the “ fourth,” that the government exists by the consent ofthe governed .7” 1f the north presist in carrying on this struggle, and have to keep the South down by force of arms, this government must eventually become a military despotism and not a republic.
