antagonism about religion. It had its origin
in what was nothing bat # political contest

parties being determined to carry
the day. But to return to the Resolutions
|They are, after the mode of the learned pro-
i fession of which their suther is so dietin-
guished a member, drawn up in & most art-)
ful and insidious manner, for the purpose ol
entrapping the unwary, The premises are
‘false and insidious. They will not, however,
‘tuke me iu. The first resolution states that
“Orange Lodges are not forbidden by any
aw ot Prince Edward Island, and further,

isted in this Island for several years, have
| not, in the vpinicn of this tlouse, proved de- |
| trimental to the best interestsof this Colony.”
That Orange Lodges are not forbidden by any
‘law of Prince Edward Island, is a truism
Why are we culled upon to admit what
every child knows? Ie is true al-o that
| Orange Lodges, although they have existed
in the Island for several years, have not
proved injurious to the best intecests of the
Colony. But why have they not proved in-
ljurious te the best interests of the Colony?
Why?) Simply because public opinion is
against thew. Another reason is the amount

ot forbearance with which Catholics have
met the insults and provocations which
Orangeisio has directed against them = (Ilon.

WAR MATTERS.

The Boston Advertiser says of the fighting in
Virginia :—* In the morning of Wednesday, June
let, the rebels atiempted to dislodge our left wing
from its position at Cole Harbor, but were re-
pulsed with considerable loss Late in the atter-
woo) the Union troeps charged ou the rebed rifl-
pits, driving the enemy, after severe fighting, to
the Chickahominy. The rebels seeu tallied aud
assumed the offeusive in their turn, and the batth
waged fiercely for some time after dark, without,
it weuld seem, any marked reault on either side,
Ne fighting of importance occurred on Thursday.”

The Bostou Courier of Monday says:—* An
analysis of the despatches, in regard Lo the fighting
ou Biiday shows ne change of affairs. Afier the
severe battle of that morning, it appears that the
Contederates were in position te renew the cen-
test, at several points, on the same evening. Ip-
deed, Gen. Grant's despatches state that no de-
cisive advantage was gained in the morning. [ny
the evening, the assault was repulsed, but it seems
tnat Hancock, baving pursued the revels, was in
turn compelled to make a hasty retreat to his
former position. Our loser in these engagements
have been large—-7500— though spoken of in the
despatches with singular cooluess: and in of
fieer+ partionlarly heavy.”

privilege they cuuld recognise nuthing tend
ing to an infraction of either the religious or
the political interests of their Protestant bre-

legalizing of such institutions as Orange

are to be placed in open and active antagon-
ism against the other tiali? Is it right that
